If you like it then fair enough, but let's not pretend it's made it a better anything other than an art project.
I don’t really like it but it’s a restored old race bike that was built by someone who thought they could make it better than the factory options. A quick read shows it actually did ok. It’s been made the way it is in an effort to make it stronger I guess not because they wanted an art project 🤣

Hagon also built frames for singles racing... they were rather successful.
