If the pix were black and white it would look just like the 50s. :D

And you wouldn't be able to see the brown seats and handlebar grips.

Seriously, what is it with brown seats?

Monkey see,monkey do by the 'trendsetters'.

They don't do much for me,the whole Brit bike revival thang sorta passes me by. Well enough executed,but I'd bet they don't ride as sporty as they pretend.

Completely ridiculous, the tyres are a real giveaway- definitely created for people who buy over-priced beard oil , wear skinny jeans that are far too small with no socks.

Style over substance. I cannot imagine I'd enjoy riding either of those at all.
