It seems to me that if you need other people to approve of your bike in order to validate your work or make you feel good about yourself then you've got some serious insecurity/inadequacy issues going on.
I can understand pro bike builders like Ben or Brad wanting to have their stuff featured because it's free advertising, showcases their skills/services & is directed straight at their target market which is good business practice but what is the appeal to Joe Bikebuilder ?
The whole idea of people thinking they've 'made it' when they see their bike in a mag seems quite pathetic to me, what am I missing?
