    Spacers can really ruin the look of a bike :cry:

    As for me, I quite like the Rapha Condor bikes.

    The one with the gloss finish is sexual.

    I have a huge amount of favourites but for the time being it is this:

    2_image.jpg

    If you like great bike then there are 1100 beautiful road, track and tt bikes in facebook group Beauty and the Bike.

    It looks as if it's been put together from a spare parts bin.

    For style, looks and general appearance in a road bike I'd go for for Specialised Roubaix/Tarmac models although the Boardman carbon pro hits the spot.

    I like the look of the Carrera Subway as a town/trail bike and the Dahom Mu range in the folders.

    Well like I said, people tend to like the bog-standard common bikes - like any Specialized (although I could show you photos of custom Specializeds that will blow your mind) - rather than more innovative and unique bikes. And as for Boardman bikes...each to their own I guess. I'd prefer a Saville Row suit to a M&S one...

    I think it is actually safe to say that there are some very nice looking bikes out there. For all tastes.

    There are some fugly ones though too but even those will be liked by someone.

    Those Times are very nice as they are pretty original as well as being lovingly handmade in France!

    Personally I prefer the white one though:

    This is the new 'Time' forum. I personally prefer this one with the Fulcrum zeros.

    To anyone wanting to know how to include photos rather than links. You need simply copy and paste the url of the photo (must have jpg at the end) into the text box. Then highlight the whole url and click the 'img' button. If you are having trouble getting the .jpg url, simply right click on the photo and select properties which will show you the link. Thanks.

    I have a Roubaix. I love it to bits. However, I wouldn't say it's anywhere near in the same style league as some of the other bikes mentioned on this thread.

    Personally I really like the Trek Madone 6.9 Astana paintjob.... the colours just look stunning

    The KTM Revelator Prestige is also a gorgeous bit of kit.....

    I agree the KTMs are very nice. Great colour too.

    If you have to go down the Trek route then be inventive!!

    There certainly are a lot of Orbea lovers here. Hardly see many nice ones to be honest although this is pretty cool:

    Project One Treks are pretty much the fugliest paint schemes I have seen. The standard Trek schemes are great though, IMO.
