Fuji D6-like Road Frames?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fuji D6-like Road Frames?

I personally give importance to how the frame looks. That's why I like the shape of time trial frames, especially Fuji D6. But what I read is that it won't be a good idea to use this type of frames as regular road bikes. I'm wondering, which firms produce round shaped and good looking (in terms of D6) frames? It doesn't need to be as areodynamic as this frame, only the looking I'm seeking for. Not to buy at this time but asked now, because I don't know much of the custom frame producing firms around the world.

obviously no where near as curvey/aero as your d6 but I've gotta plug the new Kestrel. I have a 2010 rt900sl. the tube shaping is quite impressive. Ride quality is awesome to boot.

Hot, maybe one of the hottest but not kind-looking (or round-shaped) as in the first post. Thanks for the link.

Not as attractive as rt900SL but I liked it. I will be watching Kestrel brand.

I love you guys! I'm gonna take screenshot of the thread in the end. Both are the best until now, especially the Noah.

Edit: I think I've found what I'm looking for. I mean the category. It is named "Aero Road Bike". Thanks everyone and keep contributing please. Here is a good collection of some aero road bikes;

I was going to buildup a Fuji Norcom Straight as a road bike before I found a great deal on a TMR01 frameset.
