My Monocog is butt-ugly, and all my protestations otherwise were in jest. It's a wonderful bike, and (IMO) "Rivendellian" in being simple, steel, rugged, comfortable, and just plain fun for "riding around," but it's purely utilitarian, and all its beauty is in the ride. For the sort of riding it's meant for, nice paint would be a waste.
Really, in a few months I hope we can see another photo portfolio of Joyce's sea-foam Platypus.
