Just having a look at some steel hardtails and they just look wrong with flat pedals. The tubing looks all slim and svelte then there are these chunky heavy looking bits of metal in the middle of it all. Ruins the lines and look of the bike IMO.

You're talking complete garbage, but other than that I agree with you.

its a bike. its about where it takes you 🙂

EH??? 🙄

I couldnt agree more! I think exactly that when my missis rides my Rocky (ooh matron…)(and needing flattiies). Think its the skinny tubing thing you mention..

would you rather it had no pedals? or do you only like egg beaters?!

Why do steel hardtails look wrong with flat pedals?

they don't if the pedals are nice and slim

all bikes look stupid with little attachment mechanism where there should be proper pedals 😛

Stupidest post of the day methinks.

Who the frig cares, the pedals are meant to have feet on the them for riding the the bike not looking at it in your garage.

Did you say steel? mmm very elegant material, one step away from pig iron.

Currently running Flatboys on a Soul.

And I don't care how it looks, it works for me.
