    The On-One 456 Carbon is a frame that was found on the trampoline at the bottom of the monkey puzzle ugly tree, so we know which is the fugliest carbon bike out there. What is the nicest looking carbon bike you've seen?

    The carbon nomad in white in my LBS yesterday looked quite nice.

    niner for me as well ,, the paint job also accentuates the design, unlike a couple of other brands mentioned in this thread

    There was another thread on this sort of topic recently and I seem to remember a lot of people saying that mountain bike frames just don't look "sexy".

    Road bike frames on the other hand…

    We should have an STW tall persons ride.

    I think the GT Fury wins hands down. Nicer than a Mojo, Nomad and every other "nice" carbon frame I can think of. Road bikes are not sexy!

    Nomad = squatting dog

    Meanwhile, those Tallboys look like someone doing press-ups, sort of folded/bent in the wrong place:

    Your Tallboy is lovely Rob, Dave's(smaller?) not so nice. That GT is gopping. But the Niner wins hands down – mountain bike frames can most definitely be sexy.

    s works carbon in euro/natural

    as per the link is my current favourite – i'm struggling with posting a the photo. i think that some of the "beauty" of carbon frames is being able to see the weave beneath the laquer so i'm sorry but your tallboys are off my list.

    GT Flow? No I haven't, Niner I most definitely have, but my subjective opinion won't change because you think that it should.

    JAM29er its a Fury. It doesn't bother me what you like 😆 If everyone liked the same thing it would be a bit boring

    Those tallboys looked like they've snapped already. And I don't know what that thing flow posted but it looks like an abortion from a terminator.

    I agree with crazy legs, if you want a nice looking carbon frame, you have to look at a road or track bike.
