[Closed] Nicest looking bike?

Colnago EPS 2011 in Red.

03 Heckler is the best looking suss bike IMO. And yes I've owned 2.

For hardtails, early Konas looked great. They got sloping top tubes and straight forks just right.

yes that is engraved titanium 8)
[img] [/img]

Oooh its gotta be the Transition TR series 450 or the new 250.

[img] [/img]

I usually think full-sussers are ugly (function over form) but that ^ transition did catch my eye in the other thread too...even the red rims seem to work too

[b]Nice customised Banshee Wildcard here:-[/b]

That banshee is the ugliest thing i have ever seen,

[img] [/img]

I take it you are being funny about that Banshee? It's bloody awful.

This cos its mine and its plain and simple just like me 🙂

That Pace is lovely.

Although I like that Transition, I like the Mojo HD better!!

I really like the look of the new charge freezer cyclocross bike

These threads always turn into people nominating their own bikes and a lot of the time beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

[i]nominating their own bikes[/i]

Yeah, and why not, I think my Yeti is much better looking than all of the above. Especially the flippin road bikes!

Agreed,

personally I think that a custom built frame and forks possibly even bar and stem combo all colour matched with bling kit to dress it would be my thing of beauty. Think American hand built show...oh and only one gear.

My point proven exactly DezB, beauty blah blah blah. There is very little inspirational on these threads.

Sorry but none of those do it for me.

My first MTB was a Saracen Conquest, but in green:

Bling!

It's taken me all lunchtime to find it but [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12737109&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lynskey ]HERE[/url] is my favourite looking bike.

I know my next bike will look clean, like this

That IndyFab is a lovely looking frame. Dunlike the rest of it though.

here you go , this is very nice
[IMG] [/IMG]

Not sure if this will work, and technically not a bike, but it's nice looking

[img] [/img]

@firestarter...what the blinkety flip is that - looks ace:-)

Someone posted this in another thread. I reckon it's the best looking 29er I have seen. Full of clever non-obvious detail work. Only 18.5lbs for a steel bike!

[img] [/img]

For me, it's not going to be an FS bike, maybe a hardtail, but probably a road bike.

letmetalktomark it says on it cog bicycles if 6 were 9 but not sure of them at all. i saw it at sswc a few years back and thought it was lovely

I'm pretty keen on this one:

to be fair, any Indy Fab Deluxe does it for me

i really love the look of my 10 anthem x2

(this isn't my one,do not have a camera)

[img] [/img]

I don't know about nicest looking bike, but this 1990 bear valley will be one of the best I have seen when it's finished. The amount of work that has gone into it is staggering......

Some beauties there, but this is the winner for me (looking out the window at the ice)

I've always had a hankering for a De Kerf.

Some strange definitions of the word "nice" here.

Also really like this, may buy one eventually!

maybe not THE best looking (better than 99% of the ones in this thread though 😉 ) but certainly worth a mention:

Morewood Zula. One day!

Finally some nice looking bikes, not skinny tube nonsense

The niner hardtail is awesome. I love this
[img] [/img]

Also this

AFAIK trek are the only people that employ an industrial designer.

I think they're the only ones to employ Ray Charles too 8)

That lapierre spicy 914 that was in the classifieds a few weeks back was pretty darn tasty.

What an ugly bunch of f*****s these are!

This is VERY nice (And still a prototype)..

Is that a cast front end? Empire?? ????

Looks like Empire

Would look better with beefier forks

Damn there's some ugly beasts amongst that lot! 😆
