My old Preston was ugly as, but I loved it. Wish i’d not sold it now

ton – I’m not getting “ugly” from that pic.

I only have ugly bikes, sod mainstream

purposefull then? 😆

usable would be my description.

for truly epic ugly you need a pronghorn….or Halifax filing cabinet. Nothing else can match the “welded by a blind chimp” beauty of a five or the truly orthopaedic shoe proportions of a pronghorn.

They make my eyes do a little vomit

It might look better with proper, man-sized wheels and with tyres like those you might be able to fit them in.

Kato, who the hell brought that thing? 😯

Sheesh Tony, that’s on hell of a Bergen you’ve got under yer saddle there buddy.. 😆

I can’t remember. He had a dog and a white cane though

My Hemlock is, er, functional. But I love it, honestly the best bike I’ve ridden, and not by a little. Absolutely filled with Rightness.

But looks quite a lot like this:

My Dare on the other hand…

The Dare is winning this competition for me so far 🙂

The Ellsworth is shocking.

I love that Dare.

Argh, even the Preston looks good next to the Dare! *says the Five owner*

Sheesh Tony, that’s on hell of a Bergen you’ve got under yer saddle there buddy..

sandwich box that mate… 😉

no, the dare is soooo wrong it’s right. It’s a bit like granny porn, you know it’ll make most folks vomit and then after a while you appreciate that you can still get jiggy with it

It was properly ****… The guy I sold it to was convinced it was beautiful. I did consider calling the police.

For the loverz and the haterz,

It’s like 2 different teams of designers both sat down to design the world’s ugliest bike, without comparing notes, then they combined the results by chopping them in half and nailing them together.

*rubs thighs* phwooooar.

My Hemlock is, er, functional

The front end is fine – the rear looks like someones GCSE coursework 🙂

Are we talking about bikes, or Ton’s lunchbox here?

Couldn’t agree more…

They make my Maverick look like a thing of beauty!

Got 2 Pronghorns, and while the PR6-LT is very gopping, I think the XC-SW Carbon is positively sublime. Proper function over form over function madness.

Well these are my 2 beauty’s!!

I love em both!

The Mav is a looker! I always wanted one of those

would post my ellsworth but I won’t be responsible for ruining so many keyboards

Amateurs 😉

I love the combo of Maverick + reversed layback Thomson, it’s in a wibbly wobbly world of its own.

stuff it, i hate you all anyway 😀

Right on cue…

Mr. Soft, please tell me why the world that you live in is so strange! 😉

I wouldn’t go that far… Rides brilliantly though!

As Ellsworth’s go, that’s positively restrained! Almost conventional you might say…

Northwind that bike looks like a very overly stretched frame

Well none of my gcse groups would ever get to make anything so fugly 😉 i do quite like that mboy curver is that wrong? I think my giant trance is not too great looking but i like it loads apart from the brakes at the moment AARGJHH

A 150mm stem would finish that Klein off nicely.

no, the dare is soooo wrong it’s right. It’s a bit like granny porn, you know it’ll make most folks vomit and then after a while you appreciate that you can still get jiggy with it

😯

Fantasic 🙂

That layback post + Maverick looks like some optical illusion.

Half the reason to buy a bike is what it makes you feel when you look at it.

Built up a spare parts bike a few years back, with a cheap full sus frame I found on ebay.

In retrospect I want to dig it out the cupboard under the stairs and build it up again. It even had some Floats for a while, its biggest failing was the rear shock was absolute turd.

That red thing – I had forgotten about this until I saw that pic: My mum bought a cheap exercise bike… my brother weighed a little too much and sat on the thing and started pedaling… gradually the seat bent until he was sat on the floor.

Here’s a hideous beast

It’s already got a 120. I think that’s quite long enough 😉
