[Closed] Aesthetically pleasing bikes

Sorry about this but I happen to think my Kaffenback is rather pretty.

This is nice too

For full suss bikes, Lapierre are hard to beat imo in terms of looks

I like mine. Turners have always looked "right". Took me a while to get used to the colour, but it's grown on me...

I just got home from a ride and the a few beers in the pub (sod the gay post ride nutrition advice).

I have just been looking at my bike and have to say it's so gorgeous that I nearly got a hardon!

No pics mind, coz beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I LOVE my bike! It's old but perfectly formed!

My bad?

😆 😆 😆

[img] [/img] always liked the look of these

My friend's Pegoretti Luigino....

OMITN; thank God you came along. I was losing the will to live.

(Holds head in hands, in despair that so many folk have no idea about the concept of 'aesthetics'....)

Pleasure old (rude)boy.

Though I can only take the credit for posting the pics: I neither own, nor designed nor built the bike. But it is a beauty, isn't it?

I love the fork crown: [i]Buonasera Signorina[/i]

Ciao!

This is just Bike Porn!

Sooooo, not many people on here actually think modern mountainbikes are aesthetically pleasing. Figures really.

My mountain bike is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. I just like to be discreet about it!

Yep, I do, hence the Ellsworth Moment, but I also posted the 1955 schwinn Spitfire cos I like cruiser bikes aswell. I would never dream of posting a road bike because it's not my thing, simple as that.

Jesus, I can't believe dick wits are criticising, it's just a bit of fun.

The Pegoretti Luigino is stunning - the only thing i'd change is that Triple - if you need a triple you are probably too fat and detract from the aesthetics of the frame whilst riding it, especially as you gut may rub on the top tube and mark the paint.

I will not take the bait.

Ah! But how d'you know I was talking about you?????

(Reels 'em in..) 😉

Now the Schwinn, that's quite nice, apart from the extra top-tube. The bike Innes posted is more like it.

But the full sussers, it's like saying the Forth Bridge is as elegant as the Humber Bridge.

See?

I agree that in general, HT's look nicer than FSs. But there are some impressive/stealthy looking FSs:

Oooh yes, that Merlin is nice but why ruin it with those hideous DX spds. Oldschool pair of beartraps with leather toestraps would be much better.

yeah good point - i hadn't even noticed the pedals til you said that, was too preoccupied looking at all the rest of it!

Engineering wise the Forth Bridge is much more pleasing and individual. Humber bridge is just a longer suspension bridge.
Now if you had used this
[img] ?w=510&h=382[/img]
I would have agreed

I have always liked these (though prehaps a little less colour co-ordinated)
[img] [/img]
And i really like how this looks like nothing else
[img] [/img]

And i think that all bridges look great just for different reasons

Charge Plug
Pegoretti Luigino
Pashley
Schwinn Cruiser
all very aesthetic and lovely.

Everything else is minging.

imho

[edit]
The Merlin was nice, apart from the pedals, but I prefer the Newsboy frame:

My friend's Pegoretti Luigino

Laydeezz and jellyspoons, we have a WINNAH!

That, my friend is gorgeous.

That Peg is lovely......

I prefer the Newsboy frame

yeah, i'm probably with you on that one.

the owner of the one i put up, though, has to get bonus points for being a standard merlin frame that he persuaded merlin over a period of time to modify with sliding, gearless dropouts. 🙂

Wow there's some real dogs in that lot - beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I'd vote for the Willier so far...

Can't believe we haven't had a Klein yet:

[img] [/img]

I love the sunburst finish on old Kleins - and for that matter on some newer Treks.

[img] [/img]

And the new Treks are some of the best looking bikes I've seen for a long time. Love the little details like the matching pinstripes on the forks.

how do i post a picture of the storck fascenario on bike radar!?

mathewshotbolt, you need to post the address of the actual image - it should end in .gif or .jpg.

There is something amazing in the simplicity of such minimalism

Seconded. They really have lost their 'solid, steady, boring' image recently and come up with some lovely looking bikes.

I particularly like this

my old fixie

old singular
[IMG] [/IMG]
and i really like my new 456

Gosh rudeboy is a closet roadie. Those bikes make me cringe. Yeugh.
Funnily enough the ones I like are mountain bikes.

Talking of Treks -
[img] [/img]

then theres the classic.
[img] [/img]

I'm still waiting to get one of these, 1979 Huffy Good Vibrations

[img] [/img]

As a design exercise I like this:

[img] [/img]

And just for sheer silliness I like this:

[img] [/img]

Lots of mingers on here (plenty I'd love to own mind you) that old hei hei is a lovely clean frame let down by pretty much everything bolted onto it.

The peg things quite nice and I like postierich's frame colour.

The cinellis are swoopy frames with orrible angular/spinldly stuff bolted on and the trek DH has some much vaseline smeared on the camera lense I'm surprised you can see it at all (but maybe thats the idea?)

I find the lines of my Dynoglide pleasing to the eye.
