^^^ The green monstrosity has the same semi-retru forks as me 😳

^^^^^^ My trance x 29 arrives tomorrow, just hoping it rides better than it looks!!

I'm sure it will do, I'm a bit of a Giant fanboy usually owning 3 & love how they all ride, just really don't like the look of a lot of the newest mtb's they're doing.

I saw the newer giants for first time in the flesh and I thought they looked pretty nice

Amateurs.

All ugly bike threads can be terminated with the picture of a Klein, any Klein will do, they're all gopping.
Here's one yesterday.

Took me a while to spot the bike in that photo.

Don't mind the OP's bike, although the forks are backwards. Just can't handle the marketing crap:

Swedish product designer Eric Oscar Therner did what the city lifestyle needed– an elegant bike design, which refreshes the contemporary biking visuals and in the same time makes the biker standing out from the everyday environment, while enjoying a comfort ride.

What Klein photo?

My Kingdom Foia v2. Not sure where the design came from.
Heck of a ride though.

I think that looks ace, but is it only me that mystified as to what the brake levers are there for? (where the fricken brakes?)

[img] [/img]

...ok spotted the rear one, but where the front one?

Consider this thread ended:

[img] [/img]

haha, nothing will ever look worse than this

[img] [/img]

is that curved bit meant to be the rear suspension? 'cos it looks bouncy!

also, i never ever want to see another "concept" bike. any idiot can design ugly, it takes something special to fill the world with thousands of them. can we only do production stuff please? did this thing go into production?

My Klein. I like it in a "so fugly I actually quite like it" kind of way.

Some Spinergys would be good on it though (shame they didn't do the blade spoke ones for discs 😉 )

You don't look at the mantlepiece when your poking the fire do you!

If it rides well then who cares what it looks like.

(not strictly true but it excuses some "choice" frame designs)

I line the op's nine TBH

Lol at the wicked weasel page!

That Jones bike wins hands down

Clubber, am I being dumb or are your forks on the wrong way?
Of course I would never have noticed on the other Klein pic....

They're Pace forks which have a reverse arch. So, no 🙂

Blurb from the OP:

Swedish product designer Eric Oscar Therner did what the city lifestyle needed– an elegant bike design, which refreshes the contemporary biking visuals and in the same time makes the biker standing out from the everyday environment, while enjoying a comfort ride. The concept is entirely inspired from the 1930’s Le Mans racers with an idea to spice it up with materials and technologies from the future. Thus way the bike is equipped with unique features such as led lights integrated into the frame and a two part saddle which absorbs shock. What really impress me in the Pilen Concept are the fine curves, the way all parts hold together in a solid, but still elegant construction giving an impression of power, comfort and safety.

DrP translation:

A man made a different looking bike, but it can still be ridden...

There's a chap on here who has one of those old Trek DH bikes. As far as I'm concerned it wins these threads every time.

Mine rides really nicely, Only thing i did was lop 40mm off the handlebars, but that's a personal thing.

Learn something new everyday 🙂

giving an impression of power, comfort and safety.

yeah. 'cos an impression is all ur gonna get :p

i think calling the Jones bike ugly is unfair. all fatbikes look odd, because we're used to skinny tyres. the fork is odd, but for a reason. nothing that works well is every really ugly imho.

I was going to post my bike on here because its quite ugly. But compared to some of the bikes here its a stunner.

Is it a Whyte?

No Spech Enduro.

Ah, there she is.
Hands up who has actually ridden one of those Whyte beasts... *puts up hand*

This is pretty cool in lots of ways, but pretty it ain't: The Cardboard Bike.

How about this... there's something ugly about it, hmmm...

If we're moving on to stupid bikes made by car manufacturers:
