Turner Rail.
I loved it - but there were/are many haters.

i like that turner, it's similar to a sinister, build it strong let the fashionistas fall by the wayside with their fragile tat

Ugly bikes?

There's a big pile of them here.

Swampdonkey for tazz!

When you open this thread it should play the X factor/Omen music in the background.

Some say this is ugly, but I love it and think it has a certain beauty 😀

This on the other hand is definitely ugly, but cool nonetheless:

And this is not the most attractive of bikes, but was great fun to ride (once I'd moved away from the alfine/hammerschmidt combo!)

I think it'll make me gag. 😉

Rode great, looked awkward and embarrassed for itself. Coyly hiding it's 50mm of spacers.. I liked like a pet dog with a case of mange.

Flashes - that frame and fork with different kit on it would be one of the prettiest bikes around? In fact I'd make you an offer but it looks safely a bit too small for me...

Stoner - I think that works, it has potential ugly duckling quality.

Nicola however, well it's not good is it? : )

It aint getting any older! 😉

I just double-taked seeing that Maverick's seatpost ) nearly spat my beer... : )

psychle - did you do a piece for pinkbike on that Orange Alfine/Hammerschmidt bike - or did idream that....

Stoner.

If you don't want people to point and laugh at your mongobike just park it behind mine. They won't even notice it then. 😉

what with my svelte new idave physique, if I stand behind Sheldon, I might gain the same benefit 😉

The town hall could stand behind wokboy and look slim. 😆

😆

It aint getting any older!

so why the zimmer-frame holding it up?!

*claps*

so why the zimmer-frame holding it up?

it's a tuning fork of niche, once the vibrations get to a specific level of beardie (approximately 0.88 of a Jeff or an B flat minor if you tune by ear) the bike transforms into the most awsomist riding machine ever and eats gnarcorists for breakfast.

shit, Im a semitone flat. That'll be why I ride like a wheezing walrus.

Stoner I'll post you my lungs as long as I can borrow a liver that's not too booze sodden in return

*hic* not a fuggin chance.
Since your introduction to Gunns...well Im rarely sober.
I shall repay the favour on Friday night with a bottle of Wye Valley HPA 🙂

Thanks guys. I laughed so hard I cried. D0NK wins it for me.

Apart from the megauglycreakymaverick POS

You'll only get a few miles before something falls off it. 😉

🙁

: ) Niche expressed in units of Jeff.. like the roadie's unit of hardness, the Jens. A diamond is somewhere around 0.6 Jens.

Imagine if you could reach a full 1.0 JeffJens.. Could you ride Iditarod in your pants on ss half-fat monstercross bike?

: ) [s]Niche[/s] awsumness expressed in units of Jeff

That's more like it.

speechless.

It took a while, but a Karpiel appeared in the end! And not just any old Karpiel, but a Bender Special with the BB a good 20"+ off the ground...

JohnB, with your layback Thomson run the wrong way round on your Maverick, you are my new Hero!!! In fact, if anyone out there wants to swap their 30.9 layback for my 30.9 inline, then I may well join you in the fashion revolution shortly! 😆

Hmmm... whatever that is wrapped round the seattube of the Solitude hides the monumental ugliness that is the seatstay / seattube junction!
