And mostly deserved bashing. http://coastcycles.nyc/#intro Repro bikes bringing back the worst of the good old days.

You sounds like a guy who walks into an art museum and says "What??
They're still using PAINT?? They're still hanging things on walls? Why
isn't this stuff all digital?"

Like it or not, art (AKA personal taste) influences bicycle design. And
as with modern houses (some built with Victorian, or farmhouse, or Arts
& Crafts era elements) there are people who prefer aesthetic elements
from earlier times. Ditto for cars, clothing, music, furnishings,
landscaping, etc.

Who shellacs bar tape? And what's the fascination with cantis?

I don't get shellac on bar tape. But cantis function very well. What's
the fascination with bashing them?
