In starting this thread, I wanted to share that my tastes for the aesthetics have changed. I used to think 2TT looked funny. Now it's getting to be the other way around. Purely aesthetic considerations, no claims about function-based design or engineering, were the implication.
I was amused when my subconscious saw a 1TT and thought, "funny looking." I'm also entertained by the fact that having fun on a 2TT bike has inverted a subjective opinion of mine. Ha Ha Ha. - Jim W.
