[Closed] Best looking MTB

+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!

Or, if you prefer the less 'LOOK AT MY WHEELS' look...

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:

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.

that S-WORKS! nice!

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

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...

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!

You can't beat the clean, simple lines of a steel hardtail. My personal favourite is Farticus's Curtis, which is absolutely lovely. Any of the Stantons posted up here tend to be things of beauty. Mine aint too ugly, but not quite in the same league

Orange hardtails just look 'right'

+1 for the Titchmarsh 29+ hardtail, that's luuurvely 😀

Just can't see the beauty in that Evil and whatever the black carbon bike with the yellow Mavics is up there.

Both just look like unremarkable far east catalogue frames to me. The Evil's actually quite clumsy looking.

Gotta be a hardtail anyway, surely. Maybe the PP Shan, if just for the paintjobs.

O-1.0 - lovely

I'd vote for something like this... (unfortunately not mine!)

[img] [/img]

Classic brand, lovely lines, Ti, dirty, just looks like a mountain bike should.

This thread really does show how different we all are. A good 75% I'd be happy to see in a worst looker thread.

Also, why do so many people buy frames that are too small for them?

I'll be making a list of names from this to use on the next Orange FS bikes are horrid rotters thread.

mashiehood - I was just looking for a picture of that very bike. Not normally my bag at all. But some daft sod (hi Chipps) let me out on one last week. Since then I've been openly salivating over them, and wondering about armed robbery

And that blue thing with the curved TT is borderline minging IMO.

@ binners

Funny, I seem to have seen one almost exactly like that recently 😉

Good shout!
