Best looking race bicycle

Any discipline.

GO!

A controversial starter-

All about the function. Sod the cost, sod the form, just all about function, and that for me makes it special. It makes it one of the best looking, because it’s one of the best.

Just immense

Monkey, coming after the picture posted by fasthaggis, I feel you may have lost.

Fasthaggis, that’s one that should only be allowed after the watershed.

Is that a real Iron Horse? I can’t see the extra bonus welds they seem to collect…

Fast haggis beat me to the lotus….

for the love of small primates,can you not see that battery box!

😉

All pale in insignificance compared to the lotus 108. anohter vote for what fasthaggis said.

just look at it!

I’ve got a thing for red bikes

Other than the Pinarello, every one of those bikes is uurrrggg!!

Mike’s VLR:

Or perhaps a Velokraft:

Blimey – a good-looking bikes thread with hardly any mingers – I’m impressed!

A lot of yellow.

That Lotus is a thread closer.

Current favourite (and more yellow) from the pro peloton…

😉

If we go for bike & rider combined, this is hard to beat.

I thought these were the best looking bikes in the peleton for a few years:

All these road bikes are sending this thread the same way as the faired motorbikes did on the other one. If it wasn’t for the paint & stickers’ you’d never tell them apart. 😛

How about something truly outstanding from Hetchins.

Phwoarr, look at the lugs on that.

Go on, just look at ’em.

The Lotus is clearly cheating and deserves a thread all on its own!

Or, for British cycling’s answer to the Michigan Madman, how about Alf Engers and his unconventional ideas on lightening components.

And, in case you can’t quite make it out on the above picture…

Those bars must have whistled when at speed.

By the time he broke 50 minutes for a 25 Engers had abandoned his more extreme drillium efforts and concentrated on aerodynamics. Note the reversed front brake stirrup and hidden brake levers. Running a 57 chainring with a 12-15 4 speed freewheel.

I’ve always loved the look of Specialized S-Works road bikes, here are some I built for customers
