konastoner - i just boffed slightly in my mouth.
I may be opening myself up for a world of pain and derision here, but here's my favourite bit of my scribbled-over (sorry, custom-painted sounds a bit, well, ****y) Trance..

Never seen a thread that more clearly highlights the term "different strokes".

Several people should be posting on this thread instead.

Not 'high zoot' but as an exercise in practical affordibility for a commuter, I think this is very pretty. God knows what's going on with the bars in this pic though 🙄

fontmoss' (I think that's the guy) Gary Fisher singlespeed. It looks so clean, or as bmxers would say "dialled".

No no no! That would require me to actually have some skill! Was a gentleman named Rowlie Bellasis. I rebuilt his Rocky Mountain with brand new bits in payment. Argos Cycles did the base colour and clearcoat.
This was in my opinion the prettiest bike I ever owned, my Merlin Oreas. It's a fabulous frame, superbly made and had kit fitted on it that not only was bling but also all of it worked really well

not a good pic but,
the wifes tri bike, fondriest reverso, still draws admiring looks

The Lotus Aerotrope mountain bike 🙂
Wouldn't want to ride this one, but I think it looks kinda nice - even if it's a little out of proportion these days...
crotchrocket- there's far to much plastic in that for it to be pretty, there's obviously a fault with the brakes as it makes foul squealing noises and it's as common as muck
sssimon thats a lovely bike
who makes it?
Motorbikes aren't 'pretty'. Purposeful, elegant even...pretty? No.
Nothing with a bike rack can ever be pretty, and a frame or wheels that has larger than necessary writing on isn't ever going to be pretty either.
God, another fugly bikethread! beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder! saw this classic 'just right' bike nothing flash or expensive,just right imo

Tht's more like it!
That Klein is stunning. Always wanted one of those frames as the paint jobs and looks are to die for.
good god! the merlin ht and the ti trackbike yes - but 90% of this stuff is gash....
shakes head and walks away... oh dear...
My last TL1000s, still think it's as iconic as the 916 - hasn't dated at all (since '97), in loooks anyway.

Haven't got a clue about push-bikes though...
this thread is full of readers wives scat porn (mountainbikes and their visually unaware owners).
Arsene Wenger: everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home
the prettiest bikes are track bikes or well executed road bikes.
and not the ones you can buy from evans or crc.
Mrsmith
Thats odd i was just about to type the same thing.
Road bikes are the aesthetically better looking type, high saddle racy fast looking angles, the best looking bike i ever saw was at salcey forest visitors centre it was a titanium an carbon compact road frame with shallow drop bars and destickered carbon wheels, all plain carbon and ti cant remember what it was but no garish decals either, i stood literally dribbling.
The best looking mtbs are xc bike because they are the most similar to road bikes imho
Similar with women, ive dallied with racey fast ones but they ended in pain and expense, i much prefer the bouncey one im comfy with.
Tim, would that be a full-sus woman then? Mines FS but I think her shocks need a bit more air in them pmsl
I personally HATE diamond frame bikes, look too plain and old fashioned, and just boring...
This is what i used to love... (back in the day) 😉

form over function mind
vomit.
Yep the geometry jst gets slacker with age and the can could do with a service.
I still get her in the big ring every now and then tho......
I'll get my coat.....
You will if she's reading this 
Ok, I'm adding this too now - I like the look of stuff like the Singular Swift, the Thorn Sterling, and the Jones steel frames too, for the same reasons ... Skinny, stipped out/down and functional, just like a bicycle should be.
