Didn't see the brake cable stash, greyhoundtom. That's ugly gold!

Imagine how ugly the owner is.

I reckon the whole deal is a pi$$take..... and you've all had the pi$$ taken

That is proof that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
Jones Spaceframes and their truss forks are one of the most lusted over in the world.
Jones waiting list is months (maybe years now) long.

One of the worst color schemes I have ever seen. Incredibly they are even worse in real life. Consistently terrible paint jobs seems to be Colnago's Raison detre.

BTW it is for sale in Perth ... $900 and it is all yours.

Don't be so cruel!

I have a Koga Miyata and it's the BEST bike for hilly urban transport with heavy grocery etc loads.

Nothing wrong with the bike, but if you have your stem/handlebars set up like that ....

I do have the butterfly handle bars, albeit more horizontal, and that's part of what's great about the ride. Initially my reaction was like yours, but I now prefer them to any other handlle bars beacuse of the infinite hand positions. Only problem is I don't know how to attach a mirror without compromising the handle bar's functionality...

And what about coaster brakes?

If it aint fixed it's broken.

This one is kinda cool BatBike

I've noticed that most photos in this thread don't have an ugly background, despite the ugliness of the foreground objects.

In keeping with the theme of the bike you could just bolt a truck mirror on the side of the fork..........(lots of sarcasm intended & yes I am a wanna-be lycra racer boy mamil)

Perhaps I am overly cynical, but I thought munga was gently teasing you - eg bikesnob says "The helmet mirror is perhaps one of the dorkiest cycling accessories, second only to the reflective vest". As for a helmet mirror, would you prefer

Back to the Ugly Bike thread, this is an odd use of trekking bars (defies logic.......?)
