I've got two of the buggers, a BRG Sport Tour for commuting and a kiddyback tandem. The Sport Tour is about as pretty as I am :becool: but I think it has the same sort of retro appeal as Morgan Cars (or the new Mini Clubman heaven forbid!). It certainly gets admiring glances and is good for sparking up a conversation, but these are usually with gentlemen who start the conversation "When I was in Aden in '58...."

I don’t get it.
Compare the most posted touring bike on the forum, Bigtallfatbloke's Dawes;

With johns28july’s Thorn, best seen in profile in this photo;

Can anyone explain why the Dawes with a similar number of spacers and a higher rise stem doesn’t attract the same derision as the Thorn? I choose that Dawes because it’s a clear comparison, you don’t have to look far to find other examples.
I have a Thorn and a Hewitt, they require the same number of spacers for the same riding position, both are ugly, both are superbly fit for purpose.
