any ventana
khs definatly
most devincies
and all mountain bikes that have been turned into big bmx bikes with rigid fork up front and single speed. not so much the single speed but deffinatly the rigid fork on a mountain bike. it makes me want to hurl.

 

[bizutch]

amen

now that's why you are such a great forum freak!

YOu just compete with this sucker. YOu can't even explain what they were thinking.....pick one part of this thing that is appealing. :love:

 

[Transcend]

should be there with the Pauls Cycle crew...bring your ugly bike, i'll bring mine...

wanna ugly bike carpool in your ugly car with my ugly mug?

 

[endtroducing]

yeah those rigid singlespeeds are hideous! especially the ones from asheville!

peeyeww!

 

[Orvan]

I like ugly frames... they make you an instant underdog at the races.

care to include two other frames on my get list:
1. Be One Team
2. Scott LSD DH
3. Turner DHR -good to get for resale value purposes to put a down payment on the first two frames above.

 

[SebringMGB]

the Trek Diesel makes me want to tear my retinas out. But at least it comes with the ugliest sticker kits to match the bike

btw, is that large hunk of aluminum by the bb a chainguide?

the RB dragster is pretty damn ugly too, but burly looking

I think it needs a bigger headtube too

 

[cali4niabiker]

I dunno man... check this Giant ATX with a custom paint job. It looks like a sissy rides it.

 

[lovebunny]

evil imperial. man thats gross

 

[SebringMGB]

i think the evil is nice looking. if evil and karpeil merged, i wonder if you could buy an Evil Imperial Army?

i don't mean to hijack the thread, but what bike isn't ugly? i've heard just about every dh bike called ugly in this thread...

 

[narlus]

eyesores:

khs dominatrix
iron horse SGS (ducks flying debris)
didn't realize it, but that large DHR does look pretty bad (the others are hot though)
any bike from scott
yeti DH-9

 

[Zark]

The bikes that make me want projectile my 2 hour old fajitas across the room
are the ones that not only are ugly, but really suck as well.
Like the KHS eyesore, and RM9s. Oh God, I sourburped just typing them.
And that old Trek DH bike. I lost a pint of blood out of my eyes just staring at it.

Ohh damn, good list! I found this just for you, dont stare too long


Funny thing is my buddy has one of these built up as a spare bike. The downtube always reminded me of ship rudder! F U G L Y

 

[Rik]

The Trek DH bikes look better with the holes cut in the downtube.

 

[Eigil]

Nicolai, for sure. Also, the Foes Inferno and those cheesy flames.

 

[Vladimir]

Well, just have a look at what people ride around here
And those frames are STEEL weight about a ton.

 

[Li'l Dave]

I thought the new Nicolai was pretty sick looking, at least Orven's was at big bear. I agree with that horrible Trek frame, that thing would sure look a lot better if ya just take an axe to it.

Dude, I was in Bulgaria last month and I have to agree - those bikes were insane

Anyhoo, not to derail from the thread but it seemed like the national park southwest in Bulgaria had some decent riding?

 

[grimm]

hmm...I seem to remember Arrow making a DH frame that was very interesting to say the least.....D

i second that! uuuuuuuuugly!

 

[Vladimir]

Wow, that was a surprise

Yup, if you are refering to Vitosha mountain.
It's somewhat small but there are nice rides: XC, DH and whatever. I usually ride there.
There are some better places, but farther away from Sofia and with no lifts

 

[Supa8]

Ugly in an attractive way. If that makes sense?

[Leethal]

It almost looks as if the effective head angle would be steepest under full compression. It'd be an endo machine if I've ever seen one.

Conventional forks cause your Headangle to steepen quite a bit

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

this one

i second

 

[w00dy]

Conventional forks cause your Headangle to steepen quite a bit

The whyte was actually made the way it was so the head angle never changed through the fork's travel.

My vote for ugliest goes the the previously pitured Trek Team Boat Anchor. I know someone who rides one, and I'm always embarassed for him.

 

[BrayDownhill]

don't you mean the trek dh garden gate version. its just so ugly its got a special place in my heart!!

 

[say 10]

The CPC Patriot DH

I beleive there was one at interbike that was named "wildhair" or something like that.

just plain old gross

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Nicolais...

Curb hucker already posted a link for them.

 

[frorider]

i agree, pretty much all Tomacs are ugly. lacking engineering elegance.

in person, some of the Nicolai bikes look kinda cool in an industrial kind of way. the gearbox ones are ugly.

 

[me89]

yeh that wild hair is ugly but how much travel is on that thing. it has to be pushing 13 inches back there.

 

[RaID]

defintaly have to put another vote for the
Trek DH monstroicity
and the Diesel

what were they thinking?

 

[Smelly]

yeh that wild hair is ugly but how much travel is on that thing. it has to be pushing 13 inches back there.

if i remember correctly, it's not an insane amount of travel, just a really low leverage ratio, like 1.5:1 or something.

 

[klunky]

but the trek looks good built

[Lexx D]

just ride you're bike.

 

[TWISTED]

Most of the bikes I've seen pictured here are beauty queens compared to these BOLTED TOGETHER messes.


Wait till I anodize everything on my bike purple, then I'll have a real winner!

 

[lovebunny]

ahh thank you twisted you found the risse bike. i wanted to post that one

 

[S.G.D]

that old iron horse that fraser has in his basement is pretty facking horrible if you ask me.
