Ugly modern bikes

Re: Re:

I think that's possibly because far more bikes are FS these days and they tend to be the ones that polarise opinion the most.

Could this look any more class though..?

That is shite hot looking!

How about this Nicolai as well..?

So it's not perfect by any means and certainly not as nice at the Ti version from last year but this years Explosif isn't looking too shabby. Sure it's not Columbus tubing like the good old days but it is steel and so it doesn't look like it's on steroids. It also means the downtube curve is less pronounced.

Last years steel version:

And last years ti frame version:

The Chris King Cielo MTB frame is lush as well.

I'll gladly have this in blue thanks

Loving this custom S.I.R.9...

the chris king is nice id rather have the fork lowers in another colour
maybe polished travel looks about 100mm
100mm to 120mm is enough for me

Been perusing this!
I wonder how opinions are like in 2020?

All those 2014 bikes will be considered retro now and nothing will fit.

In general, 29ers in sizes S and M looks weird, quite Ugly, only in XL looks like a 26" in M size. Nowadays proportions mainly in 29er are rare.

Quite Ugly ... despite the big size. But not the only one.

And what about e-bikes, not bicycles ... motorcycles perhaps. They are in annother league :x

I’ve got a 2019 giant anthem 29er in medium, it looks ok and ok in proportion, the colour helps though as it’s mostly black with some green highlights. The one in that picture looks like someone vomited on it.
