The Orange P7 is lovely however that intense plastic bike looks like my dog when it gets constipated, hunched up wi an arched back trying desperately to drop off a malteser, or even a chocolate peanut, i don't care how good it rides but when it looks like that i'd throw a blanket over it.
It's like a beauty contest in the burns unit so far

It shouldn't be just about looks. This contest is demeaning to bicycles!...
1st one...

Welcome to UglyStick Sunday, where bike mingers hang out.
Number one, if it were 12am and I had no other bike to ride, after quite a few Diamond Whites.
It's like the lights have suddenly come on, and you've realised that the fit bird you thought you were dancing with is actually David Dickinson

[shudders] .. I can't drink that much anymore...
That Roberts Dogs Bolx is the bomb.Love the original blk and white paint finish though.Wonder if he could make me a 29er version? Hmmm,lovely!
Production Privee is the only one with stance, so gets my vote. Not keen on the colour or build though..
Number 3
No 1 by a very long miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllleeeeee
Winner chooses next bike type.
The best image chooses the next type of bike? Once a .jpeg file becomes self-aware, Judgement Day is only round the corner.

This is not the way to run the comp. You need an "eliminator" thread first where everyone posts pics and votes. After 200 posts/week, those bikes that have been voted on go though to the 2nd round thread. The top 3/5 of that thread go to a finals thread,
I refute the premise of your competition.

I like sumafunks first picture best.
The first one is nice but I think it should have a slightly longer stem, and photoshop out the dropper seatpost cable.
Impossible to vote as none of them are BMXes
Fixed, here's a fine example of everything a bike should look like.

current score in the prettiest HARDTAIL comp:
we have 5 hardtails and 6 non hardtails.
I'd go with Somafunk's - it looks like the kind of bike I'd have - the kind of bike you'd want to just pop out to the shed for a little look at to make sure it was ok (not with the rigid forks though).
Welcome to UglyStick Sunday, where bike mingers hang out.
I am amazed by some peoples conception of beauty. 1 is the best of a VERY bad bunch.
Shan 917 gets my vote
sorry but I think these are far far nicer.

None of them are hardtails though.
what is a hardtail then?
rigid back end, suspension up front?
None of them are hardtails though.
apart form the naked loon with the big fox forks you mean?
to be fair, hardtail to me still means a fully rigid bike as that's what proper mountain bikes are. none of the this new fangled minceyboingy frontage for the weak and limp wristed IT brigade. 😆

So what you meant to say is that a fully rigid bike is a proper mountain bike to you? That's okay. I fail to see how that makes a rigid bike a hardtail though.
Well, seeing as everyone is ignoring the rules - here are mine . . .

Definition: A hardtail mountain bike is simply a mountain bike without rear suspension.
so erm.....up ya muddy gully with a big knobbly nate!!
Why would you call it a hard "tail" if it's all "hard"? The fact that you mention the "tail" implies that the front is "soft". You wouldn't call a full suspension bike a softnose, would you?
mamadirt, is your BMX wearing a neckerchief?
Somafunk wins out of the first 5.

harks back to days of early ATB's where you had rear suspension like this

It's a hardtail [i]frame[/i] innit.. put whatever fork you want on it.. it's still a hardtail frame

But loving limkilde's stealth number. There's a SIR.9 on the Niner thread on mtbr that's been stealthified & when that Kermit green washes away I fancy stealthing mine up.

Yeah alright, that does make sense. Still, since there already is a quite self-explaining term to describe fully rigids, wouldn't there be a point in differentiating those from hardtails when talking about complete bikes? Oh well.
mamadirt, is your BMX wearing a neckerchief?
Yep! 😆
Tazzy's 1st picture wins.
Anything with clown wheels loses,
strange rigid carbon forks loses,
dropper posts loses,
niche swoopy frame that serves no purpose, loses.

Exactly! Rigid weirdos are always hijacking hardtail threads... 😉
Somafunk's bike (with the proper forks) is clearly the winner, with the Shan a short length behind and the rest fell at the first hurdle.
Cheers for the comments regarding my Hardtail, rides just as good as looks (alert-subjective bike tart-alert) but even "I", with the love of a father towards it would toss it in the ditch if an [url= http://www.engincycles.com/about-us ]Engin[/url] turned up at my door, especially this one below,

A hardtail frame can be built up into a rigid or hardtail bike. You might as well otherwise start a thread entitled 'show me your singlespeeds' and it be filled with hub gear bikes with singlespeed compatible frames.
I actually think the OP's idea for this thread was a good one. A Quick beauty contest, winner picks the next field/category, wasn't that hard to understand, was it?
Maybe should have stated a limit of one entry only and perhaps been a shade more specific on the criteria for what specific bike
features were allowed but BMXs, bouncers, retro rigid could all be later contests...
of the first five bikes posted I vote for the klein
Ok well if bmxes aren't allowed then my vote goes to this suburban!

what about old fashioned steel frame and forks plus niche 26" wheels
and yes I'm ignoring the rules as well 🙄

Was expecting to see atleast one nice looking bike in 2 pages ..
Somafunk's first pic wins, although I've clearly mis-understood something as I thought that this was about good-looking hardtails and then there are pictures of 29er clownage bikes.
Engin do make beautiful bikes. Special mention for Bronto as well
good-looking hardtails and then there are pictures of 29er clownage bikes.
yeh, it the difference between a midget and a super model with long gorgeous legs....you like stumpy lumpy things, 29er riders like sleek beauty. 😆
Some FUGGLY bikes, come on some one put a decent one on FFS
*generic trolling 26vs29 comment followed by laughing emoticon*
On anything bigger than a 19inch frame, 29ers look nicer IMO...
I'd trade the Mrs and two camels for one of these..

I will announce the winner either later today/tonight when a decent amount of votes are in. The votes already cast will also be counted.

I'll vote for the P7, classic lines and i remember how well they ride.

SpecSavers, you know it makes sense.
I vote for Kenny's Soulcraft...
Im torn between 3 and 5 but if my old night clubs are anything to go by I reckon I will end up going with 4.
5
Still 3
1
1- Cos it looks good and i've not seen one before.
I may have voted for the P7 as i had one bitd but the straight bar/tall stem/odd brake levers quickly ruled it out.
3 because raw is always the best colour! That being said, buzz' Evil is probably the best looking/funnest looking bike in the thread. Although I still reckon the NS I posted is perfection, its probably less versatile to ride!
Is number 5 something special or a chinese?
5 is the best looking, 1 looks like a HT Pitch, 2 is meh, 3 looks like the forks are too long, and 4...well it's just minging,
IMO... But probably not yours..
Mine wins for the simple fact it's a dirty Bouy.
[img][url= http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8074/8296989124_ecf523825c.jp g" target="_blank">
The stealthy number 5 wins hands down.
The soulcraft, the first 5 do nothing for me
This is mine not sure it's really a beauty as such. Layback post on it now which doesn't help with the looks (thomson rather than eriksen)
