Purpose-built is sexy. Forumula One cars get your attention. Dragsters and Funny Cars get the crowds at the auto shows.
A friend who happens to be a pretty high-level competitor at Ironman Triathlons showed me his bicycle - a $10K wonder of specificity. He can barely control it in a crosswind and god forbid the roads are wet on race day. (Of course, he moves that thing faster than I ever could.) It's a captivating assemblage of single-purpose design. Yet single-purpose designs always seem to be temperamental, fidgety and finicky. They need care and attention, and do not tend to adapt well. For some reason, complexity creeps in as the lack of versatility increases. There's such power in solid, versatile designs when it comes to bicycles.
