    Technically they are great, lots of windows for natural light, well laid out, perfect form for their function.

    But they aren't exactly beautiful.

    Jeez, who retired and promoted you to head ROK ON?

    I never said not to post TT bikes here, just that I think they are minging.

    Sure ugly bikes are still perfectly good bikes.

    My bike is ugly as sin but I love it.

    Harrybelafonte, that's almost very lovely.

    ...but I don't like the velcro frame pump attachment or the frame pump itself.

    This one is good looking and reasonably priced.

    http://www.bgcycles.com/frame-pump.html
    Only reasonable in comparison to, eh, something that isn't reasonably priced at all:
    Price: $300 (without pump head)
    :eek:

    Add $25-$35 for a Campagnolo Pump Head in Ebay.

    And to finish it all off, they can also do a custom mitered angle for an exact frame fit on compact frames for an extra $50. :eek:

    I think that ugly can be beautiful in an unorthodox kinda way. Some super models have very unique features that makes it difficult to ascertain whether they are actually ugly (probably not) or simply rare in terms of looks/bone structures. So while not classically beautiful (ie symmetry) they still Meerut entry to the super model club.
    Some TT bikes and ugly bikes are like that. The most important facet is their utter lack of ubiquity. That makes them neither ugly or beautiful but nondescript.

    I do love the look of some track bikes. Especially when Irvine's on them.

    I like the vice in the background. Accessible from 360'. Nice.

    They almost managed to hide that carbuncle battery-pack... that expensive plastic box would certainly prove motivational if you were tempted to try to bunnyhop some boards.

    1 cyclocross
    2 carbon fiber
    3 blue anodizing
    4 orange anodizing

    Actually, I just thought the composition was pretty good. Decent subject matter helps too.
