If this pic from Bike Radar is any indication, they're gonna be running some bikes with fairly low-key graphics in the Tour this year.

I think i have the multispeed ti version of that bike.

For the past couple of years, Raleigh has been making a fleet of fairly awesome steel and carbon gravelly/adventurey bikes for very reasonable prices. I absolutely love my Stuntman. I think it's pretty cool that someone is selling a niche bike like that off the shelf.

Anyway, I have several "sexiest frames". If you want classic steel, Richard Sachs makes simple frames that are essential perfect aesthetically. If you want modern carbon wonder bike, the new Madone is really nice. If you want off-the-shelf hipster, All City makes lots of cool models. If you want custom Ti, an anodized Firefly is the way to go. If you want sweet retro rando, JP Weigle is your man. Ritte offers the best stock paint schemes on the market. If you want an XC MTB, the new Santa Cruz Blur is basically perfect. If you want cheap fixie, Wabi makes some cool stuff. If you want blingy Italian, it has the be the Colnago C64.

I won't say this is the sexiest, but it's very cool because I've never seen a carbon bike with a breakaway set up. External cable routing is a plus.

Sexiest non-carbon bike is anything by Firefly.

Sexiest carbon bike is the Cipollini RB1K

The Cinelli Super Corsa, the sexiest road bike of all times. It's been produced almost as long as I have been alive. The thin tubes, the nickle-plated lugs, gorgeous paintwork. Smooth riding, razor-like handling, it's amazing.

Baum hasn't been mentioned - shame on you all.

Who makes the sexiest road bike frame?

Definitely not Diamondback.

You know, I find bikes pretty or charming or beautiful but apart from giving mine a female appellation I don't find bikes (or automobiles) SEXY.

Challenge accepted!

Whatever it is...it's Italian. Colnago, DeRosa, etc.

Second page.

levers are way too high

Aren't they what. Also, there are sexier Baums by miles, but then again this was five years ago...

Wilier gets my vote

Ouch.

Damn. I did a thread search for "Baum" but nothing came up. So I guess in that sense, I'm still right - no one mentioned "Baum." :innocent:

Dave Kirk for the win!

Way, way too many photos of nice bikes in the C & V for me to even begin to think of what to post first.
