Whats the point of claiming to build a unique Moots Baxter when all I see are the same tired component choices and uninspired cable management setups. Can anyone actually build a Baxter that doesnt look like a copy-paste from a generic online build guide, or are we just stuck with a sea of boring, cookie-cutter designs.
Im not even asking for some revolutionary, game-changing innovation. Just something that shows a modicum of thought and creativity went into the build process. Is that really too much to ask.
Is everyone so caught up in the hype surrounding the Baxters titanium frame that theyve forgotten how to actually build a bike. Newsflash: titanium doesnt magically make a bike better by itself. Its just a material, folks.
Im calling out the so-called builders who think slapping a bunch of high-end components on a Baxter and calling it a day constitutes a unique build. Get some originality, people. Make me want to look at your bike.
To all the poseurs out there, please, for the love of all things cycling, take a step back and reevaluate your build. Ask yourself: is this really something worth showing off, or is it just a bland, off-the-shelf parts bin special.
Can we please, just for once, see a Baxter build that doesnt make me yawn.
