General Cycling Discussion - judging from looks alone...............

.......what would you say is the coolest looking bike? :D

I once saw a road bike w/ disc brakes,............that was awesome! :D

I have always liked the funky look of the softride frames.

Would not ride one but they look neat.

I always liked the look of this bike, I never see them any more.http://i14.ebayimg.com/01/i/01/24/22/2f_1.JPG

Coolest looking bikes are fixies, period!

The Rivendell website pics do not capture the beauty of the bike. http://www.rivendellbicycles.com/html/bikes_rivendellframes.html

But I don't remember ever seeing a prettier bike. A wrench in my LBS has a coffee colored Waterford with chromed king James lugs. Gorgeous.

Nothing beats the look of a lugged steel frameset built up with a 10-speed Campy Record group and 36-spoke Open Pro wheels. The classic look of understated elegance.

MMMM, Vanilla...check out those lugs, and if you like discs on a road frame, look at that beautiful cross frame. If money was no object I'd have one for sure!

WHAT? I was hopping you guys would post pics of dual suspension bikes with disc brakes, and all that other stuff.

Im very disapointed! :D

First you say;

Then you say "WHAT? I was hopping you guys would post pics of dual suspension bikes with disc brakes, and all that other stuff.

I don't know WHAT you want, and wonder if you do...

Hey, Mr. Jerk:

Not everyone is a poser (like some folks). And I don't recall your asking us to post what 'you' think is a cool bike.

Specialized:

This looks like fun!

Pinarello Dogma and the Pinarello Ego

I like the way this one looks - now it just needs a Rohloff, different pedals, fenders, v-brakes, some slicks and a nice big rack on the front and back :) Well, its a good starting point at least.

I'll try posting pocs of this luscious Vanilla...

Correction:
supposed to read......"6-sp Nuevo Record groupo & 36-spoke Campy Cronos tubular wheelset".....

Hey cyclenut, do you get pulled behind a boat on that thing?
I can't imagine snow in Sarasota. :D

But I agree it loks like some terrrible fun.

Crazy TT and pursuit bikes are my favourite. Orbee's Old Fiathful, Merckx's first hour bike (with the small front wheel), Hotta carbon monocoques, Boardman's Lotus, seventies funny bikes, CSC's current Cervelo TT bike, Pinarello's figure-of-eight frame (Bjarne Riis rode it), and Millar's Worlds-winning sport UK TT bike is gorgeous.

Personally, I prefer a shower. I find car wash brushes and pressure hoses a little harsh on my tender bits.

:p
Amusing mental picture there... :D

I just thought about that a bit more (I must be bored). It's actually quite a gross mental picture now. ;)

Though 'tis a convenient way to wash your bike, yourself and your clothing at the end of a ride...

This pretty well does it for me

pinarello dogma is pretty sexy... the fork shape reminds me of a gazelle.... the epitome of elegance and speed

That's gorgeous!

Makes me wanna knock over a coupla banks, that does.

1902 Dursley Pedersen bicycle from the Mark Mattei collection.
Estimate: $8,000-10,000[IMG]

nuff said...one-speed, going into battle. I didn't see anything Shimano or Campy coming off the Brit landing craft at Normandy (mainly b/c I was born in 1968), but history shows they were SINGLE GEARED BIKES!
