I'm loving the Bianchi everyday bike. I'd lose the yellow and red accents. but very nice indeed.
The moots is a real winner, it'd take the cake if it were the YBB.
The black merlin is very nice and simple looking. I am also very partial to Merlin bikes as I own one and love the ride.
The first pic on page one is very nice and minimal looking, can I get an ID on the frame?
But, The orca on page one is, IMHO, by far, the nicest i've seen thus far. This is sex on wheels.

This is definitely one of the nicest, if not the nicest black bike that I have ever seen.

I like Ex's red one. Holy smolies. Worth at least a cog in the sprint just looking at it. Plus the colors for 2010 are reddish kinda sorta. The blue woulda worked for my 08-09 team.
Pity the bikes have to have cages on it.

Since the crowd has already turned in favor of Serotta's, here's mine.
The dirtiest bike, but some people go for that.
My bike from this last season. I sold it and now ride the Serotta.

I like the Serotta. Not as stiff as the Giant, but the fit is better (55cm compared to 52 cm Giant) and the ride is pretty ncie too. The Giant would have been the be-all-end-all race bike if it was a size bigger.

Some of these bikes are seriously lame. That Ridley looks like a hump back. And the specialized is plain boring and unoriginal. Pegoretti has a HIDEOUS paint job, especially considering some of the beauts that Dario has put out...
