Best looking MTB

You can’t beat the clean, simple lines of a steel hardtail. My personal favourite is Farticus’s Curtis, which is absolutely lovely. Any of the Stantons posted up here tend to be things of beauty. Mine aint too ugly, but not quite in the same league

Orange hardtails just look ‘right’

This was posted at another forum, I’ve not seen as a nice looking bike since.

+1 for the Titchmarsh 29+ hardtail, that’s luuurvely 😀

Just can’t see the beauty in that Evil and whatever the black carbon bike with the yellow Mavics is up there.

Both just look like unremarkable far east catalogue frames to me. The Evil’s actually quite clumsy looking.

Gotta be a hardtail anyway, surely. Maybe the PP Shan, if just for the paintjobs.

O-1.0 – lovely

I’d vote for something like this… (unfortunately not mine!)

Classic brand, lovely lines, Ti, dirty, just looks like a mountain bike should.

This thread really does show how different we all are. A good 75% I’d be happy to see in a worst looker thread.

Also, why do so many people buy frames that are too small for them?

I’ll be making a list of names from this to use on the next Orange FS bikes are horrid rotters thread.

mashiehood – I was just looking for a picture of that very bike. Not normally my bag at all. But some daft sod (hi Chipps) let me out on one last week. Since then I’ve been openly salivating over them, and wondering about armed robbery

And that blue thing with the curved TT is borderline minging IMO.

@ binners

Funny, I seem to have seen one almost exactly like that recently 😉

Good shout!

nice, but needs more crap bolted to it

Unfortunately I’m riding it too much to do a studio shot.

whats with all the bloody hardtails?

Downhill-sylee slack head angle, mudguards, steel frame and 200mm stem. What’s not to like? 😛

Apart from the cabling on the down tube, I think this is also pretty lovely:

Only the Yeti full-sus made me pause.

Clearly there are too many dullard xc lycra wearers in here. Time for some more ENDURO.

BEGONE FOUL STEEL HARDTAILS

Mine obviously 🙂

That black and magenta Santa Cruz is absolutely bloody gorgeous! Why did they take it on Dragons Den though?

Matching rim decals? It’s trying too hard.

Its really not. In my OCD graphic designer world, all things should be like this. Its not overkill at all. Any more and it might be

But they didn’t match the bar decals. Either all or nothing.

@phutphutend, those are very good looking frames. Top work!

Third picture up with the bronze wheels ^^^^^
Don’t know what it is but it’s luuurvly.

According to the writing emblazoned on the top tube, down tube and chain stay, I reckon it might be an Antidote Lifeline 😉

A less flattering angle

Minger!

All of these would look better with the correct size wheels on them

To all those posting multiple bikes- you’re proving the point that they all look the same. Pick your favourite goddammit 🙂
They can’t all be ‘best looking mtb’ ???

no denying that 29ers look ridiculous unless extra large frame

I like the black SB66 they use in the Fox adverts. Can’t find it though.

I have that one just without the fox forks.

What is going on with that bike? The rear mech is so long it could double as a kick stand. And hold on is that… *zooms in a bit* a triple chainset? I’ve not seen one of those in years.

Always had a thing for Intense frames in this red colour.

Some people just use what works and don’t have to follow the herd.
Lovely Yeti. Rear mech does look a bit looong 🙂

Cute!

This but with some minimalist decals.

Can’t say I agree with you Mekkenolly..

I can’t beleive how utterly gopping every single bike has been on this thread. The only one that comes close is the Ritchey on page 1.

Has no one noticed that all the full suss bikes look exactly the same? Tubes bent in the same places, just different angles and derivations of the same style of computer drawn graphics. Awful. And I include my own full suss in that as well.

No MTB in the last 10 years can ever be described as good looking.

It’s nice for me to know that mine that is on the first page is admired…thank you
