Did I just create something beautiful?
I started out trying to configure a custom Noah that would be uglier than the Pinarello Prince of Spain, but I ended up with this.
Now I know how Van Gogh felt. I would definitely ride this if I had the money and/or was a 120lb Spanish climber.
Discuss.

Oh f**k me, this takes hideous to all new heights, shoves a rocket up its a$$ and sends it even higher. I just tasted my breakfast a second time.

Raising the Abyss
Me too. But instead of wanting to cut off my ear, I want to cut out my eyes. That thing is horrid.

It's only supposed to be photo'd going 35 mph or faster, with a half-second or slower shutter. Then its beauty comes out.

Christ, I thought my green Bandersnatch MTB (pictured in its almost-complete avatar below) was over-pimped... the second one is just plain ugly, but that is easy to pull off. The first one takes ugly to artistic levels.

I used to own something similar in the early 1990's:
ps. it was ugly then, and now too.
