Best looking road bike?

[geopat]

Ok, decent spec would be better but which bikes are the lookers...all in the eyes of the beholder of course.

Right, I can't help you.

But you do have your priorities right.

I bought this last week: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...&page=1&ndsp=9&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0&tx=73&ty=66 so I'm a bit biased,

but I like the look of this, too: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...&page=1&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&tx=93&ty=79

Oh, and this Norwegian bike, too: http://www.hardrocx.no/artikkel/les/204/11_Equilibrium+RR/

Nice Dayvo - 105 or Ultegra..? My P-X is Ultegra and I am impressed, having been a Campy boy.


Here's a nice looking bike - topcat has one. This is also well specced with SRAM Red etc... 'Planet X' is the company - good service. About £1500 or so

I always love the look of Argon 18s and you can get the Krypton for 1749 with SRAM Rival or 1999 with Ultegra

I black and red is great for getting clothing the coordinates too - which I've done a bit of with my black bike (and red tape and red / black Fulcrum wheels).

my current favorite way to blow £2099 (£2000 +/- 5%) would be an ultegra equipped Orbea Onix,

The planet X nanolight with Dura Ace for £2000 does look like unfeasibly good value mind

Van Nic Euros ?

 

[buggi]

my mate bought a Kuota. i think it's got a really nice paint job.

love pinarello's too... just for the wiggly forks.

 

[raindog]

C59 looks pretty good, but I think it costs more than two grand

 

[Vikeonabike]

Might be able to get one of these ok so it's a cyclocross bike...still lovely in those Belgian colours!

why are they all named after noble gases? Are they all unreactive?

Bianchi or Orbea always look good to me.

I do like the way orbea let the rider decide how long they want the steerer tube. I have never figured out why some companies think it's a good idea to cut the steerer right down to about 15-20mm of spacers!!! Leave em long and let the consumer decide.
