elephant man ugly some would say but not me....
indeed and if it's just ferried you up and down some spiffing trails it's the most gorgeous thing in the world, to you, just don't expect everyone to agree with you if you post pics of it ๐Ÿ˜‰

fwiw all my bikes would no doubt be judged mingers by most on here.

I'm cheating here with the dog.

Before I saw the logo, I thought that was a Knolly Endorphin. Linkage is different, but still looks pretty similar in that colour...

Oh, and nice dog. ๐Ÿ˜€

Wonder if this will work. Can I just point out I did get it dirty last night.

Only the Lancaster is pretty. The rest are nice. Just not pretty.

This is pretty:

The pedals really set it off. Don't you think...

Is that yours? How is it?

I'd love to have a try on one of those. Look like a lot of fun.

EDIT: just read the other thread - sounds like you've had a bit of a nightmare with it. Glad you got it all sorted in the end though. And it looks even better in black...

Many interpretations of pretty. For what it's worth here's my definitions in the form of my old Konas.

Something a little bit different?? Some might refer to it as ugly, but it's my regular STEALTH ride.......and I think it's the dogs boll**ks!

GT Force frame with Specialized E150 forks (soon to be sprayed black)....sweet!..

Might as well post my "prettiest" bike, oldish school DH build! Does need single crown forks but can't really afford or justify them at the minute. Looks great in person when its polished up with some brasso.

A memory of a fallen hero, who was kind enough to donate some of it's essential organs, that another may thrive...

The 1st bike is indeed antipodean and the photo is relatively near Glenfinnan~ still about an hour away though.

That Colnago looks pretty, and Mr Smith's Pegoretti is getting there but needs straight-blade forks to work with all the straight lines on the decals 8)

Road bikes can look pretty, if pretty means elegant and flowing. Mtb's tend to look purposeful rather than pretty IMO. Putting knob(blie)s on anything reduces prettiness in my book.

not sure any of those are actually 'pretty'

The Colnago road bike is lovely and the first bike in this post is too.

Well now, though my testosterone is wrestling me all the way, due to the vintage of that beast, I rather think it is (pretty in pink) damn you hipster's!!

Also of note is the Lucky Strike Ti, which is blatantly shaking it's well formed rump bits (as far as a static photo can portray) and the dog from earlier on, which although not particularly pretty, is blatantly straight pimping, in a kind of slippers, bathrobes and digestive biscuits fashion.

More shaking of the other bits of the Lucky Strike here 8)

Changed the crankset to Middleburn since the build, which I think is more in keeping with the overall look
