A friend spotted this in town and sent it to me. It made me throw up a little

The Allsop softride beam. Never popular but appeared early 1990s. Used by Julian Dalbu, John Sheehan and I think Declan Loneragan. Never liked it myself.

No it doesn't! What a fawning load of bollocks that headline is. Disc brakes look ugly, clunky and stupid on road bikes. Jesus this trend is annoying...

is it just me so who finds deep section wheels are a far greater aesthetic crime than disc brakes?

Depends on how deep, anything over 50mm and I tend to agree, with 35mm being optimum

They go whoosh, whoosh, whoosh though, and Aural Austhetics are sometimes as important

They should have put a chopper saddle on it. Major mistake

Ah here...Choppers get a free pass in the ugly arena.

That bike could have been designed by Picasso.

Great pics in the article too. I like the one with "Jesus watching over you"

As somebody that finds the vast majority of modern plastic, sorry carbon bikes unattractive I am failing to see what makes the above worthy of being posted in this thread. I actually think this is better looking then most please enlighten me.

Plastik

It's a horrendous mish mash of styles. The seat tube lines are completely disjointed. The front fork has warts. Deserving of this thread in my eyes.

AstraMonti

It's yucky.

magicbastarder

looks kinda like the old GT 'triple triangle' design, except they forgot one side of one of the triangles.

It does make sense though, as there's no suspension you might want to be able to lower the seat (maybe use a dropper post). I realise that kind of reasoning has no place on this thread though.

From the description "This is really stiff fast bike". Surely the speed is down to the cyclist on it
