I can’t decide:

Minger

Ewww, but can’t quite place what offends my eye.
Maybe the mudguards, maybe that fork. Or those tyres. or the seatstays. or…

Not quite a full minger, but you’d certainly need a few pints before you’d want to ride it!

Change the fork for something that looks less like a pirates false leg and replace the mudguards for either black or maybe in the same colour as the frame and it could have been a winner.

Muppet, if you did that wouldn’t it just look like every other road bike?

Not sure if it’s the colour and/or the mudguards. Beer goggles would do it justice….

Reminds me of the beige nissan micra that my nan drives.
Nothing wrong with beige nissan micras, good little cars.

Colour scheme aside, The fork does look really odd, to accomdate wider tyres maybe?

Fair point , well made.

I like the general chunkiness of the frame and even the tapers on some of the tubes (not the forks), I even quite like the colour but for me it’s just crossed the line of trying a bit too hard to be different and had I been in the market for a commuter those small things would have been enough to get it struck off my shortlist. It’s not so bad that I’d point and laugh if I saw someone else on one but as it stands it’s not for me.
