Kinesis Sync it up there for me (in the flesh)

Don't agree? Instead of whining, post something better then...
(*in production during 2013)
Fireline 29... bloody spectacular looking.
Am torn between these two

Can't beat the simplicity of two triangles!
I see 3 triangles. Far too complex.
That's got three triangles
Can't beat the simplicity of two triangles
3 triangle nodder tastic lt hardtail.
Those other bikes look good though 😀
Surely:
"in your opinion.. best looking [b]Mountain[/b] bike of 2013*"
?
Otherwise, well blah

PJ266, Rogan Josh & davidtaylforth pictures only no whinging!
Dezb, live with it, or make your own thread 
Best looking production bike would be better, no custom bikes allowed.
The Giant looks good! The kiinesis aint bad, except it's built up with a dinner plate cassette and a WTB saddle!
Either the Zesty I posted in the other thread or this...
[img] 
[/img]
That stache is badass. What about this liteville for a full susser (wtb saddle again though, although no dropper post!)
[img] 
[/img]
the ops bike looks like a soda from 2010, nice
Quite liked seeing the orange TNT pashley mailstars around Manchester this year. Esp in light of the RM's phasing out of postie bikes.

[i]Dezb, live with it, or make your own thread [/i]
Nope. just gonna flounce...
I was going to post the most stupid looking bike I could, as a flouncing gesture, but Garry Lager beat me to it!
+1 for Privee Shan, really nice looking bike.
I thought this was rather nice last year, plus marking the re-emergence of Kona making nice looking bikes again.

You know what - In terms of mass production bikes Canyon for me were on point:
[img] 
[/img]
Much better than 2012's.
That canyon is almost as ugly as the anthem 29er.
Almost....
well if its got to be mainstream stuff
then this!

Z1ppy ended the thread with is first post.
really??
boring frame, nasty components and bland as bland can be... its about as much Eye candy as vanessa feltz in sexy time action with anne widdecombe
I don't get the appeal of the Kinesis myself.
I'm by no means a tart, but I couldn't have a white fork on a polished ti frame.

Put the stones down, and step back in side your glass house, old chap! 😉
liked this one this year:

also really like what tazzymtb posted
but hate the seatpost on the kona richen987 posted
Liked the Shan posted above when I first saw it.
This is also my kind of bike...
[img] 
[/img]
...as is Tippie's Rocky Mountain...
[img] 
[/img]
...and this Minaar replica...

me too but... [img]

or from the other day:
[img] 
[/img]
I vote the bikes that Tazzy posted, both are rather spectacular indeed and Mr CFH's Giant TCX he posted (cos I have one and it's ace, but it ain't an MTB is it so it can't be allowed, can it?)
Other than that most stuff by ENGLISH will fit well here or any NINER...
[img] 
[/img]
This is Tim Allens bike. Pro CX Rider in the US. I just like it.
Pointlessly "bent" tubes that are otherwise mainly straight = fail, IMO!
(and i never knew STW where such a keen bunch of triangulists! (triangulators maybe??) 😉

Having seen one up close, it was the frame I liked, nice detailing (ok no where close to Tazzy's 1st piccy), photo's was just a random one of internet. As I said if you don't agree just post something else 😀

And another Shan fan

+1 Shan.
Loving the look of the fatbike also..what make is it?

Hardtails look unbalanced and dated to me.
The Canyon above is nice but for me it's a tie between the BMC TF01 and Camber Evo.
that shan is pretty nice looking, suspect its the colour combo that hits the spot rather than bike.
Litevile 301 gets my vote.
That Borealis fat bike wins.

How did I miss that enigma? That is seriously pretty and may just have knocked the sync off the 'ti bike I would buy if the lottery went my way'.

Best looking bike for the year for me was the Silver Curtis that was posted on here.
Can anyone find it?
This one...

Or maybe this one...

Pictures shamefully stolen from their owners. Sorry chaps. 😉

Ohh thanks very much
Sure you didn't mean that handsome blue Curtis?
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Aha-haaa
Candodavid's Curtis is a contender, agreed. Simple and elegant.
Well if its simple and elegant...then my ti sheepie 😀
Lots of nice bikes out there but for best looking it seems I'm drawn to fat bikes at the moment.

another vote for the shaun.
Tazzie, you can't vote for your own bike 😯
wasnt a vote, just a statement of fact 😛
In my opinion, the Scott Genius... I think it's technically a 2014 bike, but there were videos and pictures around last year so..
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
That Scott genius wins the thread so far. A lot of terrible looking fatbikes have invaded the thread.

That Scott genius wins the thread so far.
Really, looks like an enduro with some token orange paint
Specialized should have trademarked that "black with red highlights" colour scheme, then we wouldn't have to see it on so many other carbon bikes.
That Scott does look nice
As much as I'd love to say the Bronson, they need to get a better paint job (or just have one in matte carbon)
For me, the nicest looking bike (well frame mainly) of 2013 iiiisssss........

Hardtails look unbalanced and dated to me.
Must be why I'm so fond of them then - kindred spirits I suppose.
I think the scott is the winner!
[img]

Scott are making some very nice gear. Certainly the pick of the mega corps brands.
the scott looks about as generic little wheeled boingy bike as you can get.
Everyone knows that little wheeled boings bikes are the best type. I don't believe you're allowed to call it generic, that term is trademarked by specialized 😀
