Form Follows Function
Jordan Hufnagel is justifiably heralded for his bicycles, but this handmade brake lever deserves even more praise. Look at it — the lines are elegant, flowing, pleasing to the eye and likely even more pleasing to the fingers. Imagine what you’d remove or hone, polish or file — absolutely nothing. I can’t stop looking at it. It’s the kind of part you’d build an entire bike around, if you could find other components worthy of it
Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s quote is overused and rarely accurate, but in this case it couldn’t be more right:
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

I intended to create you a bit of remark just to give thanks again for your personal extraordinary views you've discussed here. It was really pretty generous with you to make unreservedly just what numerous people would have marketed as an e-book to make some profit on their own, specifically now that you might well have tried it in the event you wanted. These good tips as well served like the easy way to realize that many people have the identical dream like my personal own to realize good deal more related to this condition. I'm sure there are millions of more enjoyable periods ahead for many who take a look at your site.
