We've just seen the most hideous looking carbon bike, but which i the nicest?

The On-One 456 Carbon is a frame that was found on the trampoline at the bottom of the monkey puzzle ugly tree, so we know which is the fugliest carbon bike out there. What is the nicest looking carbon bike you've seen?

hardtail- the rocky mountain vertex posted by Sputnik in the On One Fugly Gopping thread.

full suss- Ibis Mojo fighting it out with carbon Nomad.

That would be the white Scott Addict R4.
Like mine.

The carbon nomad in white in my LBS yesterday looked quite nice.

Niner, surely? With matching carbon fork.

Im with taz on this one – that niner is stunning

niner for me as well ,, the paint job also accentuates the design, unlike a couple of other brands mentioned in this thread

I do really rather like my Tallboy too though

FULL ARTICLE ABOUT IT HERE

Robdeanhove…how tall are you?

6'4" and a wee smidgen – it even says so in the link/article, there's more photos of the bike too 😉

As another 6ft 4 person with long arms I rather like that.

6 foot four inches……way to go 😆

all the best people are

all the best people are

Why, thank you kind sir.

There was another thread on this sort of topic recently and I seem to remember a lot of people saying that mountain bike frames just don't look "sexy".

Road bike frames on the other hand…

We should have an STW tall persons ride.

I think the GT Fury wins hands down. Nicer than a Mojo, Nomad and every other "nice" carbon frame I can think of. Road bikes are not sexy!

My Tall boy

Nomad = squatting dog

Meanwhile, those Tallboys look like someone doing press-ups, sort of folded/bent in the wrong place:

Your Tallboy is lovely Rob, Dave's(smaller?) not so nice. That GT is gopping. But the Niner wins hands down – mountain bike frames can most definitely be sexy.

Obviously you haven't seen one in the flesh then

It's a long-term favourite of mine:

I used to wan't one of these so badly!

It's a long time since I have seen a Trimble in the flesh a couple of mates had them in about 93

s works carbon in euro/natural

as per the link is my current favourite – i'm struggling with posting a the photo. i think that some of the "beauty" of carbon frames is being able to see the weave beneath the laquer so i'm sorry but your tallboys are off my list.

can someone explain what's going on with the spoke on the hairychested's klein please?

Never heard of snowflake spokes? It was trendy once

So it would appear from your photo.

.
GT Flow? No I haven't, Niner I most definitely have, but my subjective opinion won't change because you think that it should.

Lol @ scott_mcavennie!! 😆 You look so 'proud' robdeanhove!

robdeanhove is 6ft 4inches ? that looks more than 4 inches from here

I hope you are very very far away in that picture.

What are you pointing at in that photo? 😯

😯 Mummy the man with the orange bike frightens me

he offered me sweets……….stranger danger 😳

JAM29er its a Fury. It doesn't bother me what you like 😆 If everyone liked the same thing it would be a bit boring

Those tallboys looked like they've snapped already. And I don't know what that thing flow posted but it looks like an abortion from a terminator.

I agree with crazy legs, if you want a nice looking carbon frame, you have to look at a road or track bike.
