This thread is like a train wreck...ugly and horrifying, but you can't look away.

Pick pretty much any Landshark or Colnago paint and there's a better chance than not it will be heinous.

Any frame sized under 54cm or over 58cm. Geometry maybe there to suit the riders of said sizes but not always...and said triangles just look weird especially with wheels.

...and that's why I quit posting pictures of my bikes on this forum. Too many uniformity freaks out there criticizing people who don't conform to their narrow standards.

Yeah, it touched a nerve. But comments like that strike me as pretty intolerant.

Well I wouldn't go out of my way to say someones bike is ugly because it's either small or big. I just expressed myself here where I felt it a bit more appropriate. I am a bit biased as I can fit anything from 54 to 56 given adjustments but really to me they just have a more pleasing to the eye squareness.

I find little bikes ugly, they gotta be over 61cm to be pleasing to the eye. Smaller bikes are just out proportion... at least my proportions... not that any of us would be biased towards our own size or anything.

I actually like the way the suspended bikes look -- weird like that. OTOH, never thought I'd see a DeRosa I wouldn't want.

If you find a Pegoretti Luigino ugly then you are sick in the head and there is no cure.
I believe it´s contagious. Good luck.
