The On-One 456 Carbon is a frame that was found on the trampoline at the bottom of the monkey puzzle ugly tree, so we know which is the fugliest carbon bike out there. What is the nicest looking carbon bike you've seen?
hardtail- the rocky mountain vertex posted by Sputnik in the On One Fugly Gopping thread.
full suss- Ibis Mojo fighting it out with carbon Nomad.
That would be the white Scott Addict R4.
Like mine.
The carbon nomad in white in my LBS yesterday looked quite nice.

Niner, surely? With matching carbon fork.

Im with taz on this one - that niner is stunning
niner for me as well ,, the paint job also accentuates the design, unlike a couple of other brands mentioned in this thread
I do really rather like my [url= http://www.bikemagic.com/gear-news/rob-deans-santa-cruz-tallboy/8124.html ]Tallboy[/url] too though

Robdeanhove...how tall are you?
6'4" and a wee smidgen - it even says so in the link/article, there's more photos of the bike too 😉
As another 6ft 4 person with long arms I rather like that.
6 foot four inches......way to go 😆

Why, thank you kind sir.
There was another thread on this sort of topic recently and I seem to remember a lot of people saying that mountain bike frames just don't look "sexy".
Road bike frames on the other hand...

We should have an STW tall persons ride.
I think the GT Fury wins hands down. Nicer than a Mojo, Nomad and every other "nice" carbon frame I can think of. Road bikes are not sexy!
My Tall boy

Nomad = squatting dog

Meanwhile, those Tallboys look like someone doing press-ups, sort of folded/bent in the wrong place:

Your Tallboy is lovely Rob, Dave's(smaller?) not so nice. That GT is gopping. But the Niner wins hands down - mountain bike frames can most definitely be sexy.
Obviously you haven't seen one in the flesh then

It's a long-term favourite of mine:

I used to wan't one of these so badly!

It's a long time since I have seen a Trimble in the flesh a couple of mates had them in about 93

as per the link is my current favourite - i'm struggling with posting a the photo. i think that some of the "beauty" of carbon frames is being able to see the weave beneath the laquer so i'm sorry but your tallboys are off my list.
can someone explain what's going on with the spoke on the hairychested's klein please?
Never heard of snowflake spokes? It was trendy once

I do really rather like my Tallboy too though
So it would appear from your photo.

GT Flow? No I haven't, Niner I most definitely have, but my [b]subjective[/b] opinion won't change because you think that it should.
Lol @ scott_mcavennie!! 😆 You look so 'proud' robdeanhove!
robdeanhove is 6ft 4inches ? that looks more than 4 inches from here
I hope you are very very far away in that picture.
What are you pointing at in that photo? 😯
😯 Mummy the man with the orange bike frightens me
he offered me sweets..........stranger danger 😳
JAM29er its a Fury. It doesn't bother me what you like 😆 If everyone liked the same thing it would be a bit boring
Those tallboys looked like they've snapped already. And I don't know what that thing flow posted but it looks like an abortion from a terminator.
I agree with crazy legs, if you want a nice looking carbon frame, you have to look at a road or track bike.
always liked the XTC frames from the 05>07 times, had one for a bit, nice but flexy bugger though
[img] 
[/img]
and the current crop of big trail FS super bikes isnt bad, Mojo SL, Blur LT C and 575 C all look lush, think the Tranny looks kinda cool too, but then i love the black stuff, and quite like the 456C too, nearly ordering one
[img] 
[/img]
Though this has to be the tastiest use of the black stuff ever, me want bad
[img] 
[/img]
Whyte 19C is my choice
[img] 
[/img]
Right, if we are going to start posting more than carbon bike frames, then how about this:
-apparently used onboard racing yachts to save weight... looks ace, me want one 🙂

Never thought I'd fancy a Tranny!! 😳

Trek 9.9 Elite team was nice

Best use of carbon CCX ltd £1m if you have got it in the bank
Jesus.
That Niner has given me wood. I think that's the loveliest bike I've ever seen...
I like the carbon Remedy

You people are weird. 😕
grum - MemberI like the carbon Remedy
maybe so but the only thing that i like that's brown is cake..

I love my Tboy as well, but even I don't think it's the loveliest, that award would have to go to a (steel - sorry) Colnago Master X, but that Niner is very pretty, but no good to my back.

I was looking at the carbon whyte in the bike shop earlier & thought what a lovely looking bike, until i looked at it from the rear - the seat stays are goppinly wide.
The weird wheels on the klein are just wheels laced with a 'snowflake' pattern.
Doesnt look quite so bad built up properly

Best use of carbon on a bike is on an '04 749R. Full CF fairing.
[img] 
[/img]
eddyesi - it does, it really does. And I've had a Norco VPS, so I know a thing or two about ugly bikes.
The whyte is the nicest thus far, which adds a nice mirror symmetry to these threads.
ooops.. I can't believe I defended the look of that on-one last week.. I must have been looking at it from a funny angle... or another dimension
Sold one of these through the shop, much better looking in the flesh, very Euro and loud though
[img] 
[/img]
that on-one is fuglier than the Kirk Revolution. I've seen nicer looking dog turds!
I always wanted
[img] 
[/img]
Still do. If anyone has a 20/21" one

Yes it does, it is [b]FUGLY![/b], absolutely hideous [img]

In fact, this bad:
