So am I the only one here who is getting sick of the incessant discussions of what does and does not have "mojo" ???

It's like this ...

These things we all love so much ... they're called bicycles. Some of them are made with love and attention to detail, and some are not. Some of them aren't ...

You know what ...

I don't care about all the fancy handwork that may go into a frame, because as many people have pointed out, all that fancy handwork is just dressing ... just like a fancy paint job may be covering a crappy build, so too might lots of fleur-de-lis and other wiggly-squigglies.

There's only two things that really matter to me about a bike that I ride ... and that's the way it fits and the way it handles.

Because no matter how much "mojo" a bike may have, if it don't fit and rides like shit, it will always be a "no go" to me.
