It's only ugly to me because they didn't offer a BB30 version.

I hate new shimano cranks. So ugly. Rest of the bike is sweet though.

All modern cranks look ugly IMO, but I definitely have a sweet spot for steel frames with modern groups. That Bishop can't get any better, it's perfect.

Sram looks nice, partly because its a hell of a lot more affordable to the top tier groups haha.

Let me say again the frame lugwork is cool.

This thread, you're doing it wrong.
