Bikes are kind of like that tired old line, "any day off of work is a good day", and I feel the same way about bikes. Any kind of bike to me is a "good bike", and who honestly loses any sleep at night fearing that they have put together a bike utilizing some "over done trend along the way"?
Seems like we are spending too much time contemplating our belly buttons when we could be spinning wrenches out in the shop. On another note, as far as the cycling community goes we are a tiny minority and what some believe to be over done is really fresh to most others that don't ever venture into this small pond.
