This was almost posted in the old thread, but thought I might as well put it here for all to revel in its glory

Probably the ugliest bike I've ever seen.

It's even got a little door so you can fit the motor.

I can't think of another serious commercial bike which looks quite that bad (i.e., not one from the eBay monstrosities thread).

So far nothing that would make me part from a lump of cash (not that I have any)... the Genesis is not horrible, but that tiny fork blades with a chunky frame... really?

I'm yet to be inspired. I like different, but I'm just seeing absurd so far.

Yeah, the Diamondback bike is not much of a looker but when you ride it with Knee length socks and a lycra tank top on as intended it's not only the bike that looks awful!

I bet it's fast on the flat.

Agree it look something Guy Martin would end up riding trying to break some record or other.

I thought the trend for uninspiring black / carbon bikes was over, but I'm not so sure looking at those

(says he as an owner of an uninspiring carbon / black / grey bike)

The Diamondback thing is hilarious.

That S3 is lovely. I'm just about to order a new Cervelo, probably going to be there end of year flagship frame sell off. I've ordered the Dura ace groupset today.

Either someone's played around with the image, or it's actually got a 650 wheel on the back and a 700 on the front. Unusual concept; might help to pull a wheelie tho.

Funny how things go round in circles.

Sarto Seta $6200 for the frameset!!

Ritchey Breakaway

Not really new, but still really cool, comes with its own travel case and frame breaks in half

Colnago Concept

That Colnago.

Now THAT would make me part with money in the right colours.

ridgerider

I think those Zonda spokes will have to work hard with disc brakes. Presumably Campagnolo know what they are doing and the tyre with skid before they snap.

I saw one in a shop in Portland Oregon a month ago, looks really smart.

Paul 8v

Ritchey do make a lovely bike.

super_prestige

That Colnago is very nice, but why o why build it with mechanical not EPS, the extra cables ruin the lines.
