The second one just looks like a tri bike put together on a budget. Or maybe it's just for use on the trainer - in this case, who cares about aero, as long as the pedals, seat, and bars are positioned correctly relative to one another?
The first one I don't even understand, and the last looks like the wrong bike is being used for the job.

Bikes are like baby's... even the ugliest one looks perfect to the owner.

As for the rest, most modern carbon bikes look like like **** anyway, so I give the whole thread a big wet raspberry. I do wish I'd been the one to think of putting Zipps on my Raleigh, though.

Some triathlete friends of mine convinced me to give one a go. To be a funny guy I threw this together for the event. It was dubbed 'tank' do to the weight of the Schwinn frame and paint which is Army surplus.

It ain't pretty but it's tough as hell and great for multi-surface trails. I wish I had a picture with the MTB fenders on it.

It really does require some time to truly appreciate the genius of this creation. There is A LOT of effort here.
