The notion that aesthetics can enhance function in cycling invites further scrutiny. If ergonomic handlebars might indeed improve comfort, how do we differentiate between genuine performance upgrades and mere cosmetic changes?

Moreover, does the emotional satisfaction of a visually appealing bike overshadow any potential performance drawbacks? What metrics can we apply to evaluate whether the pursuit of personalization genuinely aligns with the bike's intended purpose?
