On the back of the "most beautiful bike ever made" thread, I would like to nominate my ragley. I bet not many of you are lucky enough to own a bike as ugly/uglier than this.

I've got a full sus Kona so I guess I win.
Fortunately I don't have improper relations with my bikes.
But I would nominate this as one of them

I don't know if you have seen a thread about choosing a titanium frame. Somebody posted the ugliest bike I ever saw
- nothing is certain in bike taste I think, maybe for its owner that bike is a beauty. 0 -
Ugly - old Daewoo with Manitous (now replaced with Judy's and an old Hope front disc), homemade SS (now geared again), an upside down stem and bar ends. It doesn't get much better.I don't do smileys.

The Reed is no prize pig either mind.
However, for my money, ugliest bike EVER has to be the eye bleachingly bad, CBR Gatecrasher

What. The. Fark?
That's as pointless as that billet-machined, I-Beam P.O.S. that was front-page news here, last year.
Million dollars solutions to a 2 cent problem that even doesn't exist.
..... and dang ugly.How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

You mean that empire AM frame? I reckon they look alright, but they are pretty awful as far as actual engineering goes.0

I can't seperate the aethetics from the fundamentals. It's a flaw! How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

There's no need for this thread. The ugliest bike ever was the Whyte "Preston" (PRST-1).
It worked, it was apparently great to ride, but it was gopping, and it's just a fact that it's the ugliest bike ever.0 -
OOoh! There was one of those whytes for sale recently in a bikes for sale in cornwall page on facebook, £235 he wanted, was tempted but had bend fork blades from a crash!Timmo.
