the overall(!) shape is delicious. The white works, so does the detailing of everything ‘engine’… but, oh, but…

He didn’t say “this bike defines baroque”, he said the word springs to mind. And rightly so, baroque furniture is often white with gold edging: http://www.bosendorferlasvegas.com/images/int/build_your_own/style/aap_styles_popup_baroque.jpg

I would submit the bike also brings to mind the word Courreges.

Hub-center steering would be nice for more suspension while keeping the lower stance

In modern usage, the term “Baroque” may still be used, usually pejoratively, describing works of art, craft, or design that are thought to have excessive ornamentation or complexity of line, or, as a synonym for “Byzantine”, to describe literature, computer software, contracts, or laws that are thought to be excessively complex, indirect, or obscure in language, to the extent of concealing or confusing their meaning. A “Baroque fear” is deeply felt, but utterly beyond daily reality.

The bike does not truly represent the Baroque style, if it did, it would be overly ornamental and decorative. The bike has some restraint and cleanliness to it and in my opinion, is more simply modern and dichromatic in its approach as a designer piece.

Have a closer look, has front and rear perimeter brakes.. ala Buell

yet, if it was mine I’d be loathed to ride it cause it’d be a huge effort to clean all the bugs off a white bike :P
