Post your ugly bikes thread.

In the spirit of the "Making your bike look bad" thread, I was wondering what real ugly bikes BF people have. Let's see them! Prize goes out to the ugliest bike!!

I gotta get working on mine... I'm moving to Philly, where there actually are bike thieves (as opposed to Manassas, where seeing a bike is a rarity, let alone one worth stealing). Gotta uglify it good .

Offer that thing in Forest Green, and it's pretty good looking.

it's just that blasted yellow color....this is why I dislike "sports" yelow and orange. It's overused way too much.
