All good mang. I get that gum wall tires aren't everyone's thing. Everyone has their own tastes or preferences. May not be everyone's favorite bike, but I know that its a top shelf machine and the majority of people love it. But as I said, I know everyone has their own thoughts.
cheers!
cheers!

GP4000IIs with the natural color sidewalls might look better, but I haven't seen them in person since the 90's. I loved the dark brown color back then, but I'm not sure if the new ones are the same color.

Maybe we should start a new thread "But it's Comfortable!" where people show off such bikes.

Super steep seat tube with not too much drop and reach is not something that requires a lot of flexibility.

Fun snobby bike nerd conversation...do you think Mavic, a more mainstream company, available on the discount sites, cheapens the ENVE "boutique-ish" smaller mom/pop brand?

I think it works both ways. Enve's esoteric "boutique-ness" softens the more professionally serious Mavic brand; the combination is sort of flakey.
