Best looking race bicycle

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

That S-Works Tarmac looks lovely.
I really like the S-Works road bikes but I’d look a bit stupid on one being as slow as I am!

Uuugghh. Those Specialized’s… LOOK AT ME!!

they are a bit shouty
I do think the Spec McLaren Tarmac is particularly nice

@boblo and @brakes

you got it right there 😉

the third bike down (Venge with Cosmics) belongs to Chris Buncombe who is part of Jensen Button’s triathlon team.

This is what Mr. Buncombe does for his day job, so subtlety is not required 🙂

Super super picky but that Obree bike is the “wrong” one, surely it has to be his old faithful?

Andy Schleck’s bike was always one of the best looking in the pro peloton. Long, low stem and loads of saddle setback.

Oh dear, is young-child sleep-deprivation affecting you Flashie?

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.

Which is it? Looks or function? I DEMAND TO KNOW!

I like the 3rd Spesh down. It looks a bit stealthier than the others. That first one is almost as shouty as my CAADX 🙂

Al, I find massive beauty in the functional element of the Pace. A bit like a Landie, it’s built for a purpose, and that makes it good looking in my view!

The 3 best things about these threads
1) All the people posting horrible bikes intentionally
2) All the people posting horrible bikes unintentionally
3) All the people where you can’t tell which it is

I love the 108. The second choice I’d have for my wall is one of these:

Cinelli Laser Track.

I know it’s wrong to post pictures of your ex…

EDIT: Risers were swapped 😀

Got to love all the skinny tubed steel gates being posted. R U Serious?

They all look like the “10 speed racers” kids had BITD if they weren’t into BMX.

JMC Darrell Young, Honda and Lotus for me.
