Like: going against the status quo is often right/good, at least some nice bikes should fit wide(ish) tires, arguably created the market for practical/versatile road bikes (sure, there have always been custom builders who could make them, but was anybody really asking for them?)
Not so much: too bad current offerings are so spendy (my '99 JS semi-custom Riv Road Std. was $1225 with one color paint), not everybody wants/needs such high handlebars, competitors have copied much of the RBW ethos and now undersell them, agreed on the constant bag churn and infrequent Reader.
