Bikes only a mother bike could love? Show me your ugly.

My commuter aint the prettiest..
Wonky pieces of retro reflective tape everywhere and generally just not that pretty.

Do your worst.

here is my nastiest, although I have to admit obessive modification since this photo…

I like that (maybe only cos its a Pro-Flex!) How old is it?

My shitting dog's quite ugly.

[/url]

C'mon, someone must own a Decathlon bike!

have to say i quite like all of the above!

apparantly mine ^^^ is not everyones cup of tea 😀

more here

What about that Seven TT bike, or the FS from that thread the other day, both truly hideous.

A lot of folk think my Fuel's ugly, I'm not a huge fan aesthetically:

Not mine, but holy moly is this a munter!

😉

you guys realy need to try harder

Jones if fugly and then some. I think your own mother would disown you.

i would drown you at birth if you looked like ade ward's pic 🙂

Where are all the mavrick's

whytes?

I really miss my Tomac Eli – RIP with cracked welds like the rest of them 🙁

Ok here's my old maverick.

I'm no good with linking pikturs and stuff
But from the roadbike world I'd recommend* you check out…

3)Any recent Pinarello
2)Wilier Imperiale
1)How could it be other than THE DEROSA TANGO in the top spot
* actually dont check them out, you'll pure boak!

Here's my Decathlon bike. It's not that ugly is it?

(note:- bar ends removed after a tree-hooking incident at Cannock Chase 😳 )

My Klein Mantra. I quite like it, mind.

I agree. The guy is probably into that new strangulation thing and is hallucinating.

Can't believe those Jones frame and fork cost 4k! I'd pay a quid, nothing more.

Don't have it any more; I was 'experimenting'!

mind you I've owned some ugly bikes,

Felt virtue – top bike, fast as **** but ugly
Sinister splinter- Built like a brick outhouse definately not pretty
swoopy framed mount vision in pearly white- fab trail bike, looks like a hunched back munter
lots of on-ones – agicultural welding of gas pipes but I love them

I seem to choose bikes that suit me 😀

The point about all the strange fork and stay designs that you see on lots of modern Italian carbon road frames is the designers clearly have no idea what they're doing, or what they're trying to achieve,
OK, you can commend them for trying to be different, but thats about it.

nice voodoo dambala, not sure about the drops

And to add to the above, With most ugly MTBs, their 'differently comelyness' is a function of things like shock placement, pivots and such.
With road bikes THERE IS NO EXCUSE, OK? 🙂

Hhmmm 🙄

I've got one of these…

Who remembers Kirk Precision? Though I never owned one, I found their ugliness strangely endearing.

I remember them. Made of magnesium I think. Odd, but somewhat likeable.

Shall we raise the benchmark a bit?

What with…..mushrooms?

Clubber's Klein Mantra is the winner, not only for being a minger, but being a singlespeed full susser with a rigid fork. That proper inovation, that! Well done, Dylan! 😉
