Mine has to be my GT ZASKAR. 1992.
Anodized blue 16" with x-lite seat and post.
Azonic stem and bars, Tioga physco rubber ,lx hubs /mavic rims.xt v-brakes
Gt flat pedals and xt lx ,stx-rc finishing kit..
OH and a shity fork called an indy c..
Sold it to a guy in halifax 8 years later for a song...
It was rode twice...and was my mantlepiece bike..

My Turner DHR also seemed to have good matching parts and had a real race look and feel to it.

I looked pimp on it too as I had matching black and red TLD full face and race kit, shame I was more 'all the gear and no idea' than Pro racer - lol
My Giant Reign also had the pimpest paint job all though that turned out to be the death of it 🙁

Probberz my 1990 Specialized Stumpjumper Epic
I rather like the swoopyness of my KobeTi
I'm liking my new dark blue 456, but that might be because it's new.
Pace RC200 1996, Anodized siver with green wildgripper, green anodized ringel mobe post,Green ringle bottle cage and other green bits all over. £900 for the frame back then.
Why did I sell it.
My Sanderson, easily the best looking bike I'll ever own

Although my 853 Inbred came out well after a respray....
Hmmmm . . . [i]looks back through extensive back catalogue[/i] 😉
I reckon probably this one . . .

The Foes was pretty flinkin' cool looking though . . . shame I didn't get on with the ride or the damage to my visa card 😕

The winky Stinky (I'd buy another tomorrow but it's size meant it was completely impractical for riding to and from the trails - rocked when it got there though) 😀 . . .

Pretty happy with my current two though - the [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/c1553419.html ]Tazer[/url] and [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/c1643940.html ]Dirt Bike[/url] - orange rocks! 😀

Reckon that was a mid 90s model Vadar - I had Indy Cs on my [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p22332191.html ]'96 Trek[/url] (disclaimer: not for consideration as a best-looking bike) 😉 . . . and papadirt had a [url=

[url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrmichaelwright/2511344010/ ]this[/url] one and it probably always will be 🙂
Flamejob, is that a Retrotech?
matt, why is someone pi55ing on your bike? and my, what an impressive stream they have 🙂
a custard cotic soul, with white revs and some choice shiney componentry
scrummy
like the barbarians, but not trying so hard :p
I think my FS is the best looking bike I have owned. Especially since I had it painted.
My oid silver and bronze vitus 979 was the most beautiful bike ever. It was so shiny it was painful to look at on sunny days 🙂
On the mtb front that it would be my trimble. Stunning frame to look at.
Er, not sure I've owned a good looking bike yet (I've got an old steel Kona, a Soul, an alu road bike and a carbon road bike).
Actually, tell a lie. My "new" track bike is not bad looking. Needs some "improvments", though.
mrmw's is the nicest on here. mamad's Orange is second.

not sure this is going to work but il give it a try
if not can someone work their charms on the link

just finished renovating it then ended up getting a new bike!
I had a lovely Saracen Kili Thing, similar to this one, but in metallic Electric Blue. Slender, elegant tubes, and the most beautiful rear wishbone I've seen on a bike. Cute little Ritchey cowled dropouts. I had some nice bits on it; Middleburn Duos, Hope TiGlide hubs, original XT Vs.
Some TOTAL CHUNT stole it.
Sob! 😥
Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
Purple Anodised bits.
Have you no shame!
My 575. It's totally bluddy gorgeous.
Rudeboy that looks well sweet, is it Reynolds 853 tubing?
...
Ski; that's not mine. The one I had was in Tange Infinity, I think. Nice steel frame. I'm not sure that one is 853, tbh, as the frames were the same material. That one's had a respray.
Mine was much nicer...
Sniff... 😥
that fat chance is so nice!!!!!!! my nicest bike was a 1993 Dynatech MT500 with 93 XTR and Pace RC35's, bonded Ti, out of date but was cutting edge at the time ha ha
too late to edit but i just took a picture with her new wheels, tyres and front mech 🙂

mrmw - preferred the look of the old wheels and tyres....
mr agreeable - that's a very nice looking bike. What make bartape (Brooks?)?
Hmmm maybe this one...

The 12" wheel Santa Cruz is for sale btw, now outgrown and moved up to a cnoc 16
mrmw - preferred the look of the old wheels and tyres....
yeah me too but those wheels died and you are limited for choice with ceramic rims. Sadly no one imports tioga tyres in UST so i had to go for something similar
either:
My Soul

Fat chance ! yes yes
mamadirt thanks for your help.
guitarhero your bike is just stunning!!!
on and on do you have to keep that thing tethered like the hindenberg to stop it from floating off?
Mamadirt you were spot on..ma old gal was a 96 model..
Much loved and never should have sold her.....well maybe for a klein..lol
Someone help me post ma old gals pics on this topic.
stumpyjumper
🙂 LOL not yet, when the Formula R1's are fitted and the Duraace 12-27 cassette go on ....who knows
I think the latest 575 Yeti has the looks unfortunately i dont like the ride.
i bet on and ons is a great climber, that is surely not an endurance bike though, how long is it comfortable mate?
Loving the [b]Klein[/b] and the [b]Fat Chance[/b].
I had a black Klein Pinnacle that was very purdy, in an understated way (for a Klein), but my absolute favourite, I think because of the colour, was an old Rockhopper Comp frame, that I had in about '92, in a beautiful mid to light blue colour, with some black Tange prestige forks.
As a bike it was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was a colour that I don't think was readily available in the UK (it was a random offering as a frame from Specialized from the States). I must look up their archive pages.
Around that time I also had a loan of a Joe Breeze Breezer that had the kind of coachworking you normally see on... coaches? Dunno - but it was dark blue and white and beautifully finished.
Then again, I do like my current FS - the Superlight - especially with the new bars and grips that went on it today... I know the curvy frame isn't to everyone's taste, but it's engineering done well, as far as I can tell.
2 Choices:
Mat Chester Utilitiman Ti singlespeed, black P2 forks, Thomson, Jones H-bars, Paul V-brakes and levers with Nokon cables. DT/Surly singlespeed wheelset and beefy Conti Tyres. Black and Ti, minimal and lovely (now with new owner in the US)
My current OS Bikes BlackBuck, lovely swoopy steel frame in black with silver rear and red pin-striping. Smatering of WTB parts and Avid discs.
SSP
The day my Cotic Soul frame was delivered, I took it out of the box and my wife just said "I wish you'd look at me like that!"
Though my Blur was a real car park bike - handy, as I ride much better in car parks than on trails. The LBS had it in for some work one day and apparently everyone who'd seen it in the workshop was asking about it. (Sadly, none of them were around when I had to sell her!)
philgood
I did 40ish miles on it last Sunday with no problems (60% road 40% XC)
the pork-rind grips need changing though as I'm getting nub hands.
its climbs like a monkey on speed ,downs are.......adrenaline fuelled 🙂
breakneckspeed
loving that ,nice bike.
Sold that lurvery blue zaskar to a guy in Halifax .The exact same condition as it is in the pic above...as new.
Wonder if he still has it.
Got to be the Motolite.

Flamejob, is that a Retrotech?
Nooo it isn't...
guitarhero's Trek is very pretty... I'd like to do unsavory things with it on a French mountainside.
I do like my Enduro I have to say....

I miss my original Speccy SX. 2003ish i think in white!
scott_mcavennie2 - MemberMy favourite is my current (although I only have 4 to choose from really).
Likewise as got into MTB quite late, aboot 2 years ago. But i like to think my RL and current bike are nice looking otherwise i guess i would not have bought them 
That carbon GT is Lush 🙂
I loved my old Zaskar 🙂
Conks
Loving that Syndicate 4x 😀
My old Socom will always probably be number one purely down to rarity (and coolness!) of the finish it was supplied with:
Really liked my tazer too, and its probably the bike i regret selling the most.

Still its replacement is nearly finished:

New cranks/tyres/bar&stem and some white lowers and it could be the prettiest yet.
All my xc bikes are ugly 😆
wow how many yetis have you got in stock!!
