merziac rather recently?
The fact that the B17 Standard has only had black rails as an option for a while now seems like the real sin... That's the bread-and-butter model and the black rails look ungodly with so many classic color combinations that undoubtedly include chrome or polished alloys.
I can't say I'll miss this model much, except that it makes me wonder what will get cut next.

Exactly this, the road to H**L.
Not me, I don't think, no team Pro's from here and not enough in general even though I somewhat agree that they are stiff and uncomfortable.
I have a couple that work just fine, the old open nose ones seem to be ok since they are 30? years old and broken in by time if nothing else.
The aesthetic is the thing, chrome rails, no bag loops, big rivets or not, when you see one you automatically know it may be attached to something old, cool, b*****n or all of the above.
