It bugs me when others try to dictate how I set my bikes up.
I'm going to assume you will quit riding when you can't ride them like that anymore.
From a pure geometry standpoint, these bikes are very appealing to look at. The racks enhance it even more. Look at all of those imaginary lines, angles, circles, etc. They're everywhere! If they had the funky Gitane Honeycomb dropouts and Stronglight cranks it would be visual overload.
