Forget real world performance, what aesthetically makes you go mmmmm.
I’m partial to a bit of seatpost showing, nice lug-work, a tidy fillet and short mechs.

Brushed Ti
Smoothed welds
Fancy CNC work

this really floats my boat. There’s something so hatstand about it…

Cheryl Cole

Simplicity, stylish, slender.
I bought a GT because it was slender.
Road bike with Campagnolo because the gear cables are concealed under the bar tape.
Single speed- simpicity.

Single speed.

Straight guage stays, with only 1 bend, a la Fat Chance or 91 Marin among others

Raw titanium. Doubt I’ll ever own owt’ that posh though.
I do love the cheap unpretenciousness of my SS Inbred. Never fails to make me smile, whatever mood I’m in. Every shed should have one.

i waste enough time thinking about sex. i’d now like to waste time thinking about bikes please.

stays say allot tis true. which team on the tour this year had the angular boxy ones? i hope they weren’t the team with the beige kit(off to google)

Nicolai welds and gussetry

Intense 951.

don’t want one, but it looks ‘right’

C337
We need to talk!
There are toys in my sons’ cupboard possessing greater neural activity than Cheryl Droll! I’d go so far as to say I’d prefer an ‘evening in’ with David Cameron than spend a night with her…honestly 😯

Guys, I give you a gentleman’s totty….

And you should see her brushwork

I have an extensive reading list for you C337, when you’re ready 😛 😆

I don’t think that he’s implying that you’d spend an evening debating hot topics with her

ok heres the footon-servetto bike team. the kit is doing them no favours.

Cross bikes.
Proper, full on race bikes tho, not with mudguard eyes and bottle cage bosses like a sexed up touring bike.

I also like proper race bikes, stiff, uncomfy, fast.

Er, and shapely ladies. In high heels. With see throughish blouses on.

Slim tubes.
the alien complete otherness of The MC San Andreas. okay so its not out of the ordinary now but the first time I clapped eyes on one in the wild I fell in love. still want one in Silver with orange Z1s.
Oh and the rubenesque black haired doctor in Grey’s Anatomy. Hubba Hubba!

chvck,

Exactly my point, which clearly you’ve failed to grasp…you’ll be telling me Jordan has sex appeal next!

Back to two wheels.

I have a penchant for glittery things (no, calm down C337), in a hub,skewer, headset, brake anodising kind of way. Frames really don’t ‘float my boat’ it’s the ‘livery for me’ 😉

Oh, nice rear fender…always a welcome sight early in the morning 😯

Always loved the look of Cy’s original Soul. Long skinny tubes but making tight triangles, loads of seatpost showing, big forks, short stem, big wide risers. And orange.

Dan Atherton’s Ti Commie 4x bike. Looks fast stood still.

DH bikes are a very different aesthetic, but both the new Turner DHR and the Transition TR450 give me unnatural stirrings.
