Definitely in the eye of the beholder.
That is one ugly bike IMO.

Looks like a potentially very nice bike at a fantastic price. They really need to hire someone with a little bit of artistic taste to redesign their labels and color schemes though.

My opinion is that the frame looks top heavy. The seatstays are thicker than the chainstays. The downtube gets wimpy looking in the middle. Not a modern design.

Immortal Ice??? Tell me this is not Vanilla Ice's ride....
The colour + the "geometries" (which look more like freehand adjustments to a mold) =
it looks like puke.

Agreed. Cutting the steerer to the right length and not having it sticking up above the stem would make the bike much more appealing. It would also help if the saddle was level.......

I've never liked any of the carbon BD bikes.
