Yes, the swirly ones. More art nouveau to my eye. Both of which have their place. But to my eye Ernesto was (is?) colour blind and the bicycle in any case was never a suitable canvass.
Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

'was never' or is never? Not sure I agree. The Vitus's that I saw when the National Crit series came here looked fantastic and the paint jobs on some the top end steel frames I saw at events in the 80's and 90's looked fantastic in the flesh.
The Art Deco was mixed with whatever sponsor. Mine was a late 90's Rabobank colour scheme. I would say that the Mapei Quick-step livery didn't really go. Those cubes wouldn't look good on any frame.
The C60 looked great
Certainly no worse than black on black. Hopefully a buyer can find the sweet spot middle ground.
Buyers subjective choice.

I am with you on black bikes with black everything. Says the guy with titanium everything...
There was a fabulous deep red metallic Colnago with chromed stays that someone was inexplicably selling a few years ago on BR. That was art.

What's going on with the rear mech dud you polish up a tourney rd? And the bottle cages have weird things on them?
Other than that nice bike! 😁
Rear mech (full groupset) is Campagnolo. Bottle cages are Elite with inserts to stop bottles falling out. They work.

Wasn't me. That pic was taken on Tuesday.

why the feck do i have to manually change the time on my £100 Garmin watch???? 
that's more infuriating than the 7 presses of 3 different buttons to check the alarm is set because they didn't think of putting a tiny 'bell' icon on the screen

I have 4 watches to change - all have to be done manually

I don't mind changing my clocks... pendulum & battery... but technology... in this day and age?!?!?

I like proper watches with hands
2 are quite expensive gold ones - much nicer than the modern smart things
