That is probably a really effective gravel bike. I'd ride it, ugly or not.

I saw a chap drop into one the Tokai snakes on a gravel bike while I was heading up to DH0 a while back. It all looked good, except for those dropper bars. They made me feel very wobbly even just looking at him.

Custom painted Ti gravel bikes from the CTCT expo - a cool R200k plus.

 

Pics arent showing for me. But i saw those and i thought most of them were awesome. They have a late 80s/90s cool about them in the weird paint scemes. I’d rock a bike like that for sure. 
my forbidden is more blacked out than nightrider. Even the casette and chain…had to get it out of my system i guess, but i’m already bored with its blandness lol

It has that 6 - beer girl / Roxette vibe going for it. 

In public, everyone will agree not to like it, but after 6 beers, everyone likes it, and people who say they didn't have a secret Roxette fetish was lying 

How many Roxette tickets did you buy on the Discovery pre-sale?  😁

Like @MORNE  said. It's not Roxette anymore. It's just Rox. and that is like Queen without Freddy.

I kind of like this impractical unless you live at the top of Val di Sole, weirdo.

Must handle like a limo, because it sure looks like one.

Spare set of wheels, and you have the right tool for the day.

Who ever designed this has no switch backs on their trails 🤣

I'm feeling sorry for these bikes - ugly bikes have feelings too you know.

Haven't you heard the story of the ugly bikeling? "... and all the other bikes in so many words said "whoosh" get out of town"

And then it grew up to be a Schwinn ---

Everywhere you look you see a new atrocity. There are no redeeming features on this one, I'm afraid

The "dog forcing a dump" look is still making waves.

The exact same thing was said of this car.

A mate promptly sold his after sharing driving duties in me ol' European coupe.  A squatting dog in appearance, and a mongrel to drive.

And yes, given his off-kilter judgement, of course he was a Roxette fan.

Best part is you'll receive it with the fork backwards, the brakes with a 2cm gap between the rim and the pad and a loose saddle.
