Wouldn't you agree? It's just so easy to take an idea such as "tiki-themed bike" and mock it up in minutes. Then, why spend months designing? "We're here to make money aren't we? We'll just adjust the mock-up a little!" What's most interesting to me, is the fact that "tiki" is still occasionally used as a design theme. What brand position does the product acquire with this theme?
