Bikes like marmite?

As some of you will have seen i have recently posted some pics of my 700c Fixed Pace. And as expected its has divided opinion. I wondered what other bikes on here were either loved or hated, with no real middle ground. (be it stock or modified bikes). Feel free to voice opinions (really should learn to spell) or just add to the list

I have quite an irrational hate of GTs...the triple triangle just looked a little pointless/ ugly/ heavy.

And all the "rough" kids had em ( you know, the ones who could out jump anything from birth...jealous, me?)
 
I'll throw in Kleins, personally come and go with them, but they always seem to divide opinion. Seconded on the GTs lots of noses seem to be turned up at em.

Don't agree about the marmite thing, I think most of us kinda appreciate some things about most bikes but just choose to hate some.

I think they are more like sprouts. Used to hate them when i was forced to eat them, now I just don't like them out of principle and will eat them if no-one else is looking.

Maybe it should just be bikes that divide opinion or bikes that we have a love hate relationship with
 
Kleins :? their the white MkIII Escort convertibles of the bike world :shock:

Tarts and hairdressers bikes we used to call them BITD :shock:
 
Yea, agree with comments going down here, I can appreciate all bikes, but there are some I wouldnt want to own.

trek is uncool. would never even stand next to one.
for me they represent the ultimate "bikes are just a business" attitude...
