Great song. Thanks for taking me straight back to the nineties.

All TT bikes that have the seatpost/saddle like this.

Have to agree there. That bike is gopping!

Jones bikes. Hideous and expensive.

Yep.

to quote Dolly Parton,

It costs a lot to look this cheap

Also, there is a difference between 'gopping' and 'cheap'.

basic round tubes with no flair, that kind of thing.

I like classy, old-skool, subtle tubing, with no swoopy fancy shapes or odd cross sections

Lapierre especially comes to mind here....A lot of Cannondale road bikes to me just look cheap also,

Funny, I have a lapierre Helius which IS all swoopy fancy tube cross sections and I like it despite not because of it.

I MUCH prefer something like a Cannondale

or a Cervelo

with minimal shouty look at me shaping.

These are pretty and expensive

problem is your paying £400 for a Chinese factory open-mould frame and £1200 for the paint job 🙄

And we can't have a bike aesthetics thread without a pic of the gorgeous Gulf racing Baum

A year ago I would have said 'almost any Nukeproof'. I think the designs are much nicer this year though. They're finally moving away from that yellow!

As for mountain bikes; any of those cotic bfe's that were blue/green/purple. Horrid colours, and they all seem to be bought by slightly thick northern men

Wow. Slightly thick I can live with, but northern?

Have to disagree there! The 15 ones look a lot worse than the 14 ones imo.

I think Giant have a knack of making their bikes look cheap, mostly courtesy of dodgy paintjobs.

Anything with Stans rims.

I've a set of Flows and keep meaning to rip the stickers off them, utterly, utterly hideous graphics.

Also the Specialized Pitch looked cheap when close up, saying that it was a fantastic bike for the price though!

I wouldn't say they're hideous, but they don't match much.

Do it. Hairdryer FTW.
