For 1, the majority of treks are ugly to A LOT of people.
BUT specifically:
-Bike is turned on the wrong side for a submission in this thread
-Chain on small front chainring
-Crank arms not staged
-Too much white
-Colored tires generally look stupid (your bike, case and point)
-bars tilted up to much
-Tall spacer stack
-Stubby stem
-Stem angle has too much degree
-Wheels are to be staged with stems at bottom center
We look for bikes to be properly staged to help show off every part of the bike. They aren't a "must", but having the bike staged properly is just more pleasing to look at.
Some of the "rules" are not what makes your bike a Not (To me), such as wheels staged, crank arms at bottom center...etc.. Your bike is simply not aesthetically pleasing to look at. It isn't UGLY by any means, but its not a bike I would stop to look at (with admiration anyway). IF I were to change some things to make this bike hot (again, for me) I would stop trying to throw in too much white. Sometimes (most the time) less is more and less is more appealing.
Black pedals
Black tires
Black saddle
Black bar tape
Rotate bars down
For vanity purposes, flip stem and drop 20mm of the spacer stack
