A triumph of form over function, I reckon.

I think the design of a good bike speaks for itself. Even though I like a nice paint job, I find bare Ti frames quite appealing.

It's not naff - it's too expensive for that, and it's very nicely done - but it is utterly impractical. And it's twenty seven f**king grand ...
 
It's not a bike by a cyclist - it's a bike by an 'artist'. which is why it has such awful clearances, the tyres are fitted the wrong way round and the seapost is in backwards.

Horrrid.

You'd have thought it would have a polished titanium saddle for the contrast!

I think it is both 'kewl' and 'naff' on the basis anything that is refered to as 'kewl' is 'naff'.

Wonder if it would work with snake skin? It could be seamless tube then.

When I am god, I will ride a bike formed of snakes, all trained to hold themselves rigid. I could alter the geometry whenever I wanted by asking them to budge about a bit.
 
or............

You could knit one!
