I quite like that Boardman, although I think I'd have to swap the saddle for something a little more forgiving

I would say that regardless of age some bikes just look ugly
But generally there are more ugly modern bikes than older bikes as there are a lot more manufacturers out there using a lot more technology which doesn't always make for a good looking bike
I own 2 modern bikes which are at completely different ends of the spectrum & I think both look damn good
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & to some it's about how a bike rides rather than how it looks

I will always love retro but I do love riding a modern.
Here's my Mountain Cycle Fury which is recent enough. It demolishes trails but its a bit lardy but a hoot to steer.
My fairly recent KHS full Susser which is a great bike and takes a beating way beyond its spec and just keeps giving without fuss.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and let's not kid ourselves. When you want to take the bike out and ride with no dramas, a modern decent bike is the one I pick. I keep the retro bikes for best.
