What do you call a collection of more than one bike, perceived by everyone except its owner as gopping?
I'm going with an "Ugly"... 
Mine's the looker on the left by the way, not the horrid monstrosity on the right!

Yetis are f-ugly big time. The full suspension models are properly vomit-inducingly ugly.

Oh come now mboy, you're being a bit unfair there...

Where's the Yeti? I see no Yeti...

Haha, "functional" is a better word than ugly... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyhow!

Yup, empty carpark at the end of the black... We did most of the black, one big loop of it twice (by mistake) and finished off doing the red descent. Good ride, my first time there, aside from the steep climbs, I really enjoyed it!

He's got long legs, tis true, but even so it needs shortening by 10-15mm as we found out mid ride... This was its shakedown ride before he does Bristol 12 hour solo on Saturday, so still time to rectify it.

rocketdog, you been trying to burn my old bike?
Posted 11 months ago # -
dear lord shortening by only 10 to 15mm.............
Posted 11 months ago # -
Jeez the bike on the left is soo retarded, who would ride that?
Well, if you have to ask!
dear lord shortening by only 10 to 15mm.............
He is quite tall, got a 120mm flipping stem on it too! He would have had a size bigger if they did one, but they dont...
Posted 11 months ago # -
And what's going on with the one on the right, someone bought the wrong size clearly, should anyone that tall be allowed to ride 26" wheels?
He does prefer 29ers... But is also sponsored by Pronghorn, who don't currently make a 29er

Funnily enough I saw the picture on Facebook and had commented on how bad they looked on there! Isn't it an offence to have such ugly bikes as close to each other?
Says Pepper who has had some of the worst bikes in the world!
Still got my Box One Frame up in the workshop rafters!

Is that Shergie's on the right?
Personally I quite like both of them, but then I think I'm in a minority finding Nomads, Blurs and Tallboys hideous, too finiky. Nothing again SC, the V10 Carbon is one of the best looking bikes around and I'd consider a Bullit when my big bike gives up the ghost.Posted 11 months ago # -
Dear god. Those things are uglier than racism.

Hence the midweek jaunt to somewhere so far flung literally nobody else saw... Think all afternoon we saw maybe 4 or 5 other riders, and that was in the carpark. Nobody else on the trail!

Yeah, you can talk! My Maverick rides like a dream at least, even if it is ugly to some...
Is that Shergie's on the right?
Yup indeed

Has he grown another foot? That's some seatpost!I wanted that frame, but ended up with the non-ISP one. Still fast, but think his looks nicer...

Yup its mine, i was going to do the whole 'new bike' thread but got sidetracked by actually riding, i might still once ive washed it...
Very light and very very fast Posted 11 months ago # -

Right I've finally got my latest Fugly bike, Chumba HX2 today, and I've got most if it put together! I had a quick zip around my yard and it's all good, although It's far harsher than my old Gary Fisher Rig.
I'll put pictures up when I've lined the tyre names with the valves tomorrow!

Get a fat rear tyre in there you tightwad, you've got acres of clearance now compared to 2.1" tyres fouling the stays on the Rig!

Wadda ya mean tightwad? I've still got the original 2.2 Bonty that I had to take off due to the fouling of the aforementioned Rig
That can go back on now! Simon reckons that a 2.4 will fit but if you're running deraileurs then they have a good chance of clashing with the front mech! Luckily I'm gonna be running it with an Alfine tho.

Topics like these amaze me, When people are slating Specialised and orange, you get people on here saying,,, ohh its not what they look like its how they ride that matter!!! Then you get a topic such as this one and people all leap in saying oh its fugly / ugly / vote inducing ect ect. make your mind up as to why you are ridding the bike you ride.
Personaly i would not buy an awefull looking bike, to me the look of a bike matters. I would never ever buy a bike that i hated the look of, how ever it rode, Why would anyone want to go out ridding on a bike they did not like the look of.But then why would anyone spend spend 2 - 3K on a bike that didnt ride well.
Each to there own thats what i say.Posted 11 months ago # -
they may be "different" but they ride better* than the boring "ford focus" stuff that most folks ride.
*based on the fact (according to tazzipedia and 20 years experience of riding mountain bikes
) that the person who usually owns an odd bike will have gone through a whole host of standard mtb's before finding one the suits their needs rather than what some bloke in a shop or magazine told them they needed to be on trend

Mavs rule, it's how they ride that matters and Mavs are the best, it's a bike ffs, it's for riding not hanging in a gallery.
Here's mine, just finished it this morning. Won't be getting rid for a long time, as soon as I sold my last Mav I regtetted it and knew I had to get another.
