Post a picture of the most beautiful bike you have seen or can find.

Either –
or –

^best one in the thread so far. You lot have a really weird definition of beautiful.

it only exists in my head…
it’s a matt black stealthy looking fixed gear drop bar road bike with no cables and an ultra-mean stance…
I’m sure one exists somewhere.

Got to be one of these:

Attitude Storm

This thread reminds me that ‘one man’s treasure is another man’s tat’ and ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’!!

There can only be one option for me (although I’m generous enough to show y’all two versions). Pure bike sex…..

Fat Chance Yo Eddy in Aqua Fade:

Admittedly neither are perfect: I prefer the bottom one but it does need retro XTR in that gorgeous grey and a blue Ringle Zooka stem.

QWERTY, that SpeedWagen from a few years ago was going to be my choice as well!

The English 29er nice as well

Jeez, what fugly bikes. 😐

JonEdwards has just won. That English is just stunning.

Jeez, what fugly bikes.

I don’t think people are taking it seriously CG… The OP must feel very hurt…

😈

Some of those bikes are reet my munters!

One of two are pretty tasty though.

A Pegoretti of some sort, great paint jobs.

A classic

Beauty is clearly in the eye of the be(er)holder, as the above has shown!

Here are some that I find rather lovely, but am sure you will all think that they munt as much as a munting thing.

As the OP I can tell you that I am certainly not offended by any picture of a bike, they’re all good to me, some in different ways, but good all the same 🙂

Jon Edwards has the best so far.
the fixed gear needs shallower rims though, and blacker cranks and the seatpost head/clamp spoils it.

^^^that Nicolai up there would look a million times better if the saddle angle was UCI compliant

This S&M Credence is perfection as well. I have a thing for raw steel.

if we are doing girlie shots…. another Hutch pro

Agreed brakes.

@Tiger6791 – loving that one. 😀

Flasheart wins. Mostly cos the picture of the Ti Saracen is mine. (well, OK, WAS mine, I sold it just before Christmas… 😳 )

Sorry CFH.

Also, another vote for the frankly gorgeous English Cycles brand.

Needs a few component changes (mostly that fugly chainset and the white bar tape) but otherwise…spot on.

I really want to buy a Muddyfox for some reason.

Field Cycles – Sheffield.

Nice 😀

Saw one of these in wheelbase, stavely. It was a snip at 12k 😯

speaking of which…

that Baum in Gulf colours is lovely.

20-odd years ago I fell for this, sadly couldnt afford it at the time, which is exactly what fuels the retro boom.

seeing one of these in the “flesh” in a bike shop in Compiegne prior to the start of paris-roubaix a few years ago, fired my enthusiam for owning a road bike – now own a Lapierre Xeliius but sadly not in those colours.

Always been a sucker for white bikes, which is why I’d like 2 of these frames, one to ride one to hang on a wall

and whilst your at it a couple of these, ta

No pictures, unfortunately, but pretty much any of the Italian road bikes that the pensioners in molini ride every morning.
