The idiomatic definition of the phrase "young turk" is:
________________________________________________________________________
A young person who is rebellious and difficult to control in a
company, team or organisation.

I have one of Mitch's Randonneur Project bikes. This bike reflects a
conservative appreciation of tradition and classic forms as well as a
very high level of craftsmanship. It's about as classic as it's
possible to get, and not what I associate with "rebelliousness".
Do you /really/ mean Mitch is rebellious and difficult to control? Or
did you just use it loosely to indicate a young builder?
