nice, but needs more crap bolted to it

Unfortunately I'm riding it too much to do a studio shot.

whats with all the bloody hardtails?

Downhill-sylee slack head angle, mudguards, steel frame and 200mm stem. What's not to like? 😛

Apart from the cabling on the down tube, I think this is also pretty lovely:

Only the Yeti full-sus made me pause.

Clearly there are too many dullard xc lycra wearers in here. Time for some more ENDURO.

BEGONE FOUL STEEL HARDTAILS

Mine obviously 🙂

That black and magenta Santa Cruz is absolutely bloody gorgeous! Why did they take it on Dragons Den though?

Matching rim decals? It's trying too hard.

Its really not. In my OCD graphic designer world, all things should be like this. Its not overkill at all. Any more and it might be

But they didn't match the bar decals. Either all or nothing.

@phutphutend, those are very good looking frames. Top work!

Third picture up with the bronze wheels ^^^^^
Don't know what it is but it's luuurvly.

According to the writing emblazoned on the top tube, down tube and chain stay, I reckon it might be an Antidote Lifeline 😉

A less flattering angle

Minger!

All of these would look better with the correct size wheels on them

To all those posting multiple bikes- you're proving the point that they all look the same. Pick your favourite goddammit 🙂
They can't all be 'best looking mtb' ???

no denying that 29ers look ridiculous unless extra large frame

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

What is going on with that bike? The rear mech is so long it could double as a kick stand. And hold on is that... *zooms in a bit* a triple chainset? I've not seen one of those in years.

Always had a thing for Intense frames in this red colour. [img] [/img]

Some people just use what works and don't have to follow the herd.
Lovely Yeti. Rear mech does look a bit looong 🙂

Cute!

This but with some minimalist decals.

Can't say I agree with you Mekkenolly..

I can't beleive how utterly gopping every single bike has been on this thread. The only one that comes close is the Ritchey on page 1.

Has no one noticed that all the full suss bikes look exactly the same? Tubes bent in the same places, just different angles and derivations of the same style of computer drawn graphics. Awful. And I include my own full suss in that as well.

No MTB in the last 10 years can ever be described as good looking.

It's nice for me to know that mine that is on the first page is admired...thank you

Prior to the mass rape of purple by Hope/Santa Cruz.

Still very happy with how this looks after a couple of years ownership.

Lovely to ride as well.

Thanks for rectifying my lazy post Cokie. I agree the direct stem accentuates its 'bullish' qualities but am utterly in love mate. Have always loved/ridden hardtails but this lal minx turned me. Bikes with longer stems already look gawky to me.

@Jobro How much does it weigh? That is a very good looking Mtb indeed! The tyres/rims just need a little more colour and then it would be spot on 😀

Hmmmm, valve and tyre logos are aligned, fence doesn't need painting, and the hedge looks reasonably well trimmed....aha, I've got it: wheel of trailer looks a bit rusty 😈

Nice bike btw.

This, but only really because mine should be arriving in a few days 😀 😀 😀

Otherwise, got to love English bikes.

^^That's rather nice 😀 ^^

Another Engin, his personal bike in fact. If I had the cash I have this exact same bike....but with 29er wheels.

I can't comment to be honest, I posted an Orange Five 😆 !
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc. I think its the large stack height of the direct stem that offends me 😛
