It looks totally fugly un my opinion, what does everyone else reckon? just looks way too overshaped to me.

Hayles Boardman from last year. Saw it in the flesh at the Soens, Jesus wept. One ugly bike.

Amazing what you can do with titanium once you find out how to use it like angle iron.0 -

It's not great but without that messed up top tube it would be quite nice. Looks a bit like a bent Ribble Sportive. I'm not a fan of curved top tubes, it's the reason I didn't consider a Spesh when buying a new bike.0

Best seen in the OTT landscape of the Dolomites or Tuscan hilltop villages, rather than under the grey skies of north Kent, that's for sure.0 -
I like stealthy (bikes can never be too black, it's slimming) but look at the shape of it, it looks like someone dropped a skip on it.joshtp/mbukman wrote:

That Carrera is the lovechild of a Pinarello Dogma and a Specialized Roubaix.
Very ugly but I'm sure there's worse out there...0 -
maybe its coming from an MTB background, but i like the shape... looks sort of aggressive.Seanos wrote:

and it is utterly FUGLY :twisted:
It does annoy me when people get carried away with all this "italian, passion, perfection" crap, it's either made in Taiwan or some bloke in Milan who's not actually putting his "passion and perfection" into the product he's waiting for his lunch break. It's just a dream world.
