z000m

if there was somewhere local i could test ride a new scott cr1, it would probably be my next bike.

OWM - if you right click on the photo in your photobucket page, click on properties and you will see the url of the picture. put that between the img tags.

There is probably a way of reducing the size, but I don't know how!

Got it now, cheers

More of the same I'm afraid. I luurrve the new shape Orca... and actually came within an whisper of buying a Look 585 frame last week (I didn't in the end for very sensible reasons, but it still makes my tummy twist with regret when I think about it). Also the Colnago Master X-light is pretty damn tasty... drool.

This is my dream bike I think. Looks wise. Not sure if I could cope riding a Colnago as I think maybe they scream 'I'm loaded' a bit too much but hell its sweet isn't it.

I can see we're on different wavelengths Redd! Your selections just look dull to me.

For me it has to be the Cervelo Soloist. I don't know why it just is. Mind you I like the P3C and P2C aswell.

Anyone who puts yellow bar tape on a blue bike has no taste though

Talking of which. I saw some of your Fizik tape on a mates bike the other day. Looks classy. Bit thin for me but might try it next time. Then again the Deda stuff isn't the thickest. I've been keeping the yellow clean with the odd wipe over with a wet wipe so not looking too grubby really.

Very subjective, indeed, but my thoughts are...

1. Wilier
2. Lapiere

I find the top-end Pinarellos and Cervelos repulsive

il_principe

Well I'd have to say Pinarello - iof course I'm a biased Prince owner!

1. Pinarello
2. Wilier
3. Look
4. Viner
5. Ridley

Oldweshman and shazz, could you kindly give us a clear warning before displaying such graphic bike pr0n :-)

Both are stunning bikes and I'm now jealous beyond belief! From a "practical" point of view Shazz's is probably the nicest, but only coz it has gears! Maybe one day when the kids have all grown up or I win the lottery I can have a bike like that!

I'm moving to Wales :-)

Lagavulin

I forgot to include Bottecchia. I really like a couple of their frames, particularly the BS800 8avio. 8)



But for the nearest dealer being in East Anglia, I may not have been the owner of a Wilier.

doktorsteve

The best looking bike is the one I'm riding ....

She gets jealous if I start looking at other bikes.

Saw loads of bikes last night (must have been a TT on), chain was climbing up one of the middle sprockets - drove me mad, so I could not get a good look at any of them!!

babyshambles

The Bianchi Cellest C2C is the best looking bike i think although I have a Trek 1.5 :-(

Is it just me or are the forks and seat stays on the Prince a bit, er, ugly. Just too fussy - look a bit contrived

surely this is much more elegant

Out of all the Cervelo frames the one I wouldn't have said looked good was the RS, the headtube is too long.

I'd say it's more boring than elegant. Each to their own though.

ermintrude

for me lots of good looking frames are ruined by those horrible deep section wheels, I think they look awful

dazzawazza

Price??
How about the best looking bike in certain price ranges?
For example; what's the best looking bike for £500 to £700??
Some of us have mortgages to pay.

Do what I did, stick it on the mortgage thats what my reserve is for.

That's ok if you didn't self certify at 7x your income.
Not possible now. :shock:

Two quality looking Colnagos, overpriced - but pure quality.

The white stem on the metallic red Colnago looks a bit out of place, though.

And the Lightweight wheels with their ABSOLUTELY AWFUL TYPEFACE...
