Most Exotic Frameset?
 
http://www.biketime.nl/upload_cms/rxr.jpg

I think the Time RXR is probably the most exotic looking framset, any others?

Looks like a Guru to me.

If by 'exotic looking' you mean 'fugly' or 'retina burning', then yes, you are correct.

that frameset is really unattractive.

depends on what you mean by exotic? plenty of exotic here. http://bicycledesign.blogspot.com/

Maybe you meant something other than "exotic"? Do you mean prohibitively expensive (and therefore 'rare'?) and attractive to (your/the) eye? Pretty much any Joe can get a Time if he's got the ca$h.

Probably a boutique store bike is more in line with "exotic". If I had the cash, I'd get a Naked bike.

Google "Calfee spider" :)

To wash: water hose, brush, air compressor :D I'm sure nobody rides it though.

This one is probably a bit conservative to the roadie crowd but it's about as exotic as I would go:

it's one of those things that when you look at it at first it doesn't seem that appealing, but the longer you look at it the more beautiful it becomes.

i am also from the midwest.
