[Closed] Best looking MTB

[img] [/img]

I so want this

I'd take his skills over his bike, but unfortunately that ain't gonna happen, so I'll have to make do with looking at this:

[img] [/img]

I've said it before but based on looks alone I'm a bit of a stalker where candodavids Curtis is concerned.

[img] [/img]

emsz - nice, understated, not sure I'd choose it to ride though

Chef - goppin

[img] [/img]

Another few bikes with a frame size atleast too small!

:O

Not that I'm biased...

[img] [/img]

I said best looking not ugliest. Read the thread title!

I rather like the look of this [img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

I thought the Scott was goppin'.....
Then I saw that God-awful black thing. Jesus H Christ. They wouldn't even let that thing up the ugly tree in the first place!

You want gopping?

[img] [/img]

Now with normal bars.

Still ugly though.

Not that I'm biased:

That's a chromed frame showing through the paint, not a silver decals. 🙂

Ok you know what? Never mind. Close the thread please.

I'm giving you a 1/10 for that flounce.

Pwoarrrr.

Doubt I'd ride this if I could afford one. I'd just have it sitting in a pool of light in the middle of the living room.

That Curtis up there is really nice.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

I do like that Bread Winner. Never heard of them, but that's lovely.

Even though it breaks my heart to post this, it has to be...

[img] [/img]

Although in true STW style, after an uncertain start my own bike is growing on me looks-wise...

Don't care if it's not niche enough, these are stunning in the flesh;
[img] [/img]

That Breadwinner is rather lovely, too!

colournoise... you blind?

Do have quite a strong prescription...

Sucker for bikes that look engineered rather than styled.

I know it's purely subjective but that soulcraft is gopping. Never mind the stem, or the colour - I think those seat stays look bloody awful meeting the seat tube above the top tube like that.

Who started the trend for having the name on a different coloured square edged background? It looks crap- like a stolen bike with a sticker on it.

That SS Niner ^,is the only pretty bike posted so far and even that is in Apollo Kaos orange 🙁

Well, it is all about what you prefer after all. I had a DW link 5 Spot. Great bike. Hideous rear end. Still loved it though. Mainly as I couldn't see the rear end when on it...

I love seeing people's choices!

Bregante, what bike is that? looks pretty cool.

Presume you mean the second one I posted?

It's a Production Privee Shan 917, same as the one posted by gachet below mine.

never heard of it 😆

looks nice though

I like the way the Shan looks awesome in the gulf colours and pretty dull (and imo a bit gawky and leggy) in any other colour. I reckon any bike would look good in that scheme tbh

Agreed Northwind. I was so close to getting my Nicolai done in those colours, based on this picture.

[img] [/img]

Not sure it would help the Nicolais replacement though 😉

Now I just need to win the euromillions... 😛

Like the look of either Kingdom vendetta 2 or Stanton switchback in green, raw or ti.

HTs are definitely the most attractive IMO (apart from the clown wheel ones 🙂 )

So far the Shan is the only one doing it for me.

Mothers always prefer their own children and all that!

Here you go..

I quite like the stealth look. This is top of my lust-list at the moment:
[IMG] [/IMG]

That Yeti above makes me think of this

[img] [/img]

+1 for crosshair's Scott.

I did a shitload of drugs back in the day but I've never done enough hallucinogens to make half of gaudy monstrosities on this thread look good!

My Trigger. Because it looks "tech" and weird. And because its mine. I had to get rid of a bunch of the stickers though.

That Turner Fat Bike is so nice!

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder - some of those are truly awful

I know you said no retro, but....

Some people really need their eyes testing. That Look - jesus fkn christ... And why does it look to have Fox stickered Suntours or something?

That said, I'm going to post an Orange now:

[img] [/img]

Looks light and fast and rad-to-the-max-of-enduro...

Oh, and people posting their own bikes with a load of stem spacers - you lose. Massively.

I do like Jared Garves'xc bike at the mo (although the seat post is less nice and the fork decals are ugly)

edit: beaten to it by wrecker

The rigid Niner is winning for me so far. That's what I was going to post.

[img] [/img]

You do realise that there are more than a few stem spacers on that?

A few I'd define as 3 or 4. Couple underneath, maybe 1 on top. And its not my own.

This is what I'm talking about:

I think I am the only person in the world who thinks the Yeti SB6C is fugly. In fact I find most Carbon bikes look nasty unless they have a super matt paint scheme on. I hate that shiny tacky plastic look you get on all the turquoise Yeti's.

I think my steel frames have got a pretty good aesthetic going on...

That Capra does look nice. Bit of a turnaround for them, their schemes have been pretty awful up until now, but I'd happily be seen on that.

For me, this is hard to beat

[img] [/img]

Clearly my bike is the best and wins this thread

[img] [/img]

Definitely wins the amount of times youve gone on about it!

Some beautiful bits of kit on here...just posted this elsewhere so while in on the 'copy board'

[img] [/img]

I like the black SB66 they use in the Fox adverts. Can't find it though.

[img] [/img]

None of those really do it for me. This, however, is lovely.

I like to keep it simple...

This was posted at another forum, I've not seen as a nice looking bike since.

Lovely lines, I think being lazy I would prefer external hoses/cables but looks very tidy.

^^that is stunning.....

There's just something about the clean lines of a hardtail that is aesthetically pleasing

Rigid schmigid. Full sus bikes look better cos they look like they go brooom!
