Do you:
A. Like riding a bicycle and enjoy self too much to mince about wondering who is watching?
Or
B. Enjoy mincing about wondering who is watching, including when on a bicycle?
Bonus Q - are your purchases influenced by A or B?
I'm strictly A A. No mincing. If it's shiny all the better, but only because *I* like polishing shine and seeing the sun on it when riding. Not for some peer-influenced poncense! Gottit!?
A.
And for the bonus, I don't ride a carbon Santa Cruz and my kit is not colour co-ordinated. So A again. (but I do like my bike to look nice for my own benefit)
No idea what you are on about. I just ride me bike.

my bikes have really ugly features like mudguards with milkbottle extension flaps and too-long steerers with old tennis balls covering the sticky-uppy bits
it does slightly amuse me that they're so fugly - could that be a B ?

That's the correct way. Let's see some photos of yours....
Don't have saw tooth rotors.
Just looked odd, apologies.
Fact: (almost) nobody looks good on a bike.
Fact: If you're quick enough the bike doesn't matter(*)
Fact: (almost) nobody cares what you ride or wear(*)
(*) Unless you're in an old school roadie club
My bikes are functional and I care more about how they ride than how they look

Superstar Saw rotors mount facing that way, the opposite to Hope
I ride a unicycle. I don't think anybody notices what the unicycle looks like.

Along with starting a thread about it telling up that you think it's better that you don't ride something moves you into the B camp.
I don't care but as I had the chance to build a bike from the frame up from now stuff I did take some time to match stuff up.
Most things that work alright, look alright.
It is therefore perfectly easy to have a bike and gear that (1) works really well* [u]and[/u] (2) looks good**.
* YMMV
** IMHO
