…does anybody look at this bike (the new Marin Alchemist) and think it's not minging?

It's a full suss. It has to be ugly, it's in the rules…

its a marin, it has to be ugly, its in the rules…..

(though it looks like a marin that dali had a hand in, that or its been crashed.

hit with the ugly stick so much it bent

Crikey!

Prob looks quite good when you ride it as you'll be looking down at it through your beard…

Uglier than a Mojo, and that's a swamp donkey.

yeah it was not blessed in the looks department, you could forgive it if it rode well, but there are so many good bikes now looks are important.

Does it creak.

I kinda like it, but I've always liked Marins.

Looks like sputum stretched between two wheels.

Yikes! I, usually, like Marins but that definately fell off the fugly tree

I'm not seeing something much worse than a Mojo or a Nomad, to be frank.

Its fugly, but is it as fugly as the benchmark for these things?

😮 I WANT THAT!!!

one of the ugliest ever, and doesnt it cost like 500 million hundred pounds or smthing??

Olly – Can you imagine the noise that would issue forth from the paperclip bike were you to hit a patch of gravel at speed. It'd almost be as bad as an Orange 5.

to be fair that's not the worst looking bike ive seen but it does seem to have been inspired by the stringy cheese between two slices of freshly cut pizza.

I've always liked Marins and I don't have a beard, but I would rather not be seen on that.

I think they are trying too hard now.

Luckily, there's this monstrosity to make that Marin look rather good, actually.

Looks like its been in an accident !!

surely that seatpost is too high!

I do know someone who owns a Jones thats normally run as an ss and has a Surly Endomorph 3.7 front tyre on it…………..

Looks like a harp between two wheels! Hope this wasn't the last job of the new On-One designer!!

Yawns at the over priced chip eater.

Paying through the nose for some chips is one thing, selling your children into slavery in order to own the cycling equilivent of an Austin Allegro, but built by a bearded bushman with a fetish for bendy tubes rather than a bored Brummy filling time between strikes is quite another.

LOL at the glove puppet.

I bet the Jones doesn't creak though…..
