Ugly Bikes

ExeterSimon

Ouch that smarts - I have that colour and all!

Although, it doesn't look anything like that picture in the flesh - here's mine - it's way more silvery and lighter:

I'd say that's more champagne

I was thinking more of the Pitch Pro. Great bike to ride but the colour is just awful. Why did the Pitch Comp get the better colour scheme?

Surf-Matt

Any full sus bike for me.
Yes I know they are the most amazing things since the invention of the wheel but they hurt my engineers eyes.

The best looking MTBs are all hardtails.

And the best looking bikes are probably...shock...horror...some of the top end road bikes.

Hacksaw required. Unless it's the Orange's database that churns out excuses for you as to why you bought one.

Or someone regrets buying one and is waiting for the next off which could result in being impaled right through the heart/face/spam javelin thus ending one's misery.

Only joking Orange fans. I had a blast on a Crush last weekend...and loved it.

I reckon Ellsworth have an uncanny ability with the ugly stick. The 'Rogue' being a prime example:



WTF is going on with the rear end?

Hehehe, I wondered if you lot would pick up on the loooong steerer...

I'd only just fitted the forks and needed to ride it to work the following day and as I store my bike at a LBS, the intention was also to get it cut down that day - don't worry folks, it's all normal size now!

I am heavily biased towards the pitch pro but I did have to learn to like the colour. In the flesh it looks a lot better and the comp looks worse IMO.

indeed. Whoever did this years paintjobs is probably from one of those ridiculous makeover shows.

the colour of the Rockhopper PRO 09 model is just wrong, in my opinion.

smegurmum

just wrong, personally

ThanksBye

The saddle on the Scott looks so nasty, like a cheapo plastic one

this is heralded as a good bike but lord almighty, it is so ugly it could trick or treat down the phone and its very proximity would turn milk fizzy and remove the shine off my teeth

infact, the only way it could be worse would be to fit a saddle pouch, some mud guards and a frame mounted pump:

This is amazing! I was going to make a post about that bike as on sunday I was out for a ride and I saw a guy on one of those. Its the first time I've ever seen one but it's an absolutely hideous creation. I felt like I should have washed my eyes after looking at it.

wasn't riding nr carrington was he...think i saw this bike tonight

if it were all yellow, it'd be fine, it's the random merging into white & then the other stuff on it. I like my bike frames one colour unless really well done for contrast, for example
