If that ain't the truth. I have quit buying bike magazines just because every bike is so repetitive. I understand that back in the day there was limited supplies out there, but in this day and age can no one think outside the box? I think that's one reason I am drawn to the Japanese bike scene, they may have the same old bike that the next guy does but his will stand out among the masses. I say with all the things you can learn on the web and the availability of descent affordable tools there should be an over abundance of original bikes, but it seams like everyone is afraid to go against the masses and build something that they think is awesome and don't care how many people "Just don't Get it". Build it, ride it and who cares, who gets it.
