beautiful hardtails.. please share pictures

My Merlin Mailt 4

I always thought this looked right with the 36’s:

But this is my current and fave:

Here’s my newish Soul

I really like the look of my Genesis Altitude, but my 1994 silver Orange Clockwork with it’s elegantly curved rigid forks is probably better. Gave that to my Dad though, so no pictures of that at the moment though. Got to get that sorted…

Commencal Ti Flame… has black grips and Pro2/Crest wheels since this pic

Second Litespeed in this thread:

My Soul

Trevor.

Love/Hate..

Tweaked a bit since this pic was taken..

But love it to bits..

Not many of these bikes are “beautiful”. Was hoping fontmoss would post that pic of his singlespeed Gary Fisher (I think), I have a strange obsession with how that bike looks.

Lols @ the amount of on ones 😆

And my 97 Cindercone

I’ll try and even that up a little bit.. 😳

I couldn’t help but thing it was all cotics…… 😉

Salsa Moto Rapido. Just great fun.

Another Love/Hate. Not in its ideal terrain but never out of its depth 😉

Oh, I assumed by ‘hardtail’ we meant something which had to have front suspension! If that’s not the case I offer….

Bullheart – what frame is that?

The Soul is so aptly named, I sold my original one after 6 trouble free years, then had to get another one due to my FS breaking after a year. Riding it again made me realise that it is the best bike I have ever owned, it really is my Soul.

This is now a ‘Post your hardtails’ thread 😀

I think the OP should have been more careful to define ‘beautiful’.

I’ve got a picture of a Carbon 456 in and no-ones even flinched…

No pics but look them up if interested – Hunter and Don McClung’s custom bikes. Not to all tastes but I like them a lot. None (or few) are hardtails tho, I think hardtails tend to look fun and functional, but very rarely beautiful.

ac282…… 😯
silly sized logotastic wheels and you can’t drop the saddle…..so why is that the only bike on here that’s made me go ooooooh

[/url]]null[/url] Ventana El Comandante Ultimate

I’m not saying its the fastest or what I’d buy, but it is the best looking mtb I’ve ever seen.

Not sure I’d describe it as ‘beautiful’ but here’s my Prince Albert….
