I think the Summum looks amazing.
Also really like the new Demo, but only in this paintjob...

Loving this thread. Some real horrors though! Interesting to see such a variety of opinion with no name calling too. If this was "nice looking rigid ti forks" there would have been class war, 2 flounces and a ban by now.
Anyway, my top 3:
1) Summum
2) 951
3) Morewood MakuluPosted 11 months ago # -

Wait a minute, are you implying that xc jey boy mincers are more argumentative then dhers...?
I've enjoyed this too, although I can't believe how hard I've fallen for the zerode. I think I may end up with one one day..

Looks like it's been sat on and squashed by an enormously fat man.

+1 for the Operator

I'm surprised no one has brought this up.
Not saying it's particularly nice, but it isn't bad.

RealMan, I would never imply such a thing! Ahem...
The zerode does look gorgeous but the weight put me off a fair bit, seems pretty heavy for a modern dh bike. The fuel tank is a bit Halfords too. Hope they get enough support to develop it further though, innovative concept. The carbon all mountain version they have looks great...

To me a BMW just looks like a bunch of scaffold poles jammed together at weird angles. Close up it looks like someone has dropped a spanner in there and it's got stuck.

This thread is massively full of fail! Instead of 'the best looking dh bikes' basically every DH bike ever has been posted, and half of them are mingin'
Plus Lahars look like:

There is something appealing about raw functionality though. Remember the Millyard?
Looks like a lighting gantry. But, apparently a giant leap forward in functionality, all from somebody's shed. All of a sudden lighting gantrys have sex appeal.
Anyone know what happened to them?

hhhmmmm, antidote are still alive and kicking. Interesting rear triangle design.

No one in their right mind could describe the early Konas as good looking and that Tomac looks like something sold in JJB sports.

That black & gold Scalpel is the sexiest bike I've ever seen, Devinci closely follows.

Ok, if we're getting retro...
I remember riding this at the Malvern classic when it first came out - '94 I think. Was about 14. I would have done virtually anything for it. 8 inches of travel! You could ride off anything! I would be invincible!

I hope you're very very fast - otherwise it would be quite embarrassing to have such a blingy bike.

The Schwinn Straight 8 is a sweet looking bike i loved back in the day, not sure if it's still being made though.

Millyard - only built the bike for his son to race DH on. Never went into 'production'. Apparently the air can is the same design as what they use on British tanks? His mate designed them, and so borrowed his ideas. I read an interesting article about them (interview with them). The DH bike was designed on massive sheets of paper on the shed wall - literally, drew it life size first time.
Millyard's most recent creation, as far as I know, is this... the V10 bike. Yes, he squeezed an 8.0L V10 between 2 wheels.

(slow owner of bike with lots of anodised gold bits here)Don't care if I'm fast or slow - doesn't matter as I'm not shallow enough to give two ****** what other people think or what sort of bike they ride. If it puts a smile on my face then that's all that matters.

I had a Tomac 204 Magnum. So good in some ways, so epically bad in some others.
Loved it enough to want another if ever I saw a cheap one up for sale, even if it was to just hang on the wall to look at.

I had a go on a BMW once and thought it the most horrid bike I've ever ridden. Also, imagine what a bearing kit must cost for one.
Now a GT Lobo, or even better an LTS DH - now we're talking..!
I like the new Operator, and those 920 Laps are nice but apparently every single one in the UK has snapped....Snapierre

If looking like 'a bike' is a good thing (and god knows it would be an improvement of lots of the ones in here), then this does ok...
