Function has no use for beauty. The desire for aesthetically-pleasing function is a illusion of narcissism that holds no real-world value. The fate of the snob is to become endlessly lost in matryoshka dolls of intricacy, unable to uncover the smallest doll they themselves imagine real. To be a snob is a curse. Beauty exists in the eye of the beholder, it is inconsequential to function. It is this chaotic, shape-shifting characteristic that is, in fact, its wonderful essence.
Aside from Nitto Jags with deep drop bars. They always looks pretty sweet.
