Pothole bikes? I think we need crater bikes over here... possibly caving bikes before 2020

This is where it all started to go wrong, 1983 Amstel Gold. Everything is right and classic and traditional in this picture apart from one thing - the carbon frame. It's all been downhill since.

This is far from Ugly. On my next bike short list.

Most old, traditional bikes were pretty sexy. Most modern and progressive bikes are also generally sexy, if your mind is open to new things.
I can't think of too many ugly things in cycling. Triathlon bikes spring to mind, but that's about it.

Never really understood how a-head stems
Could be thought an advance on the simple elegance of quills...

You are hardly comparing like with like there ...
I see your ugly raised A-head setup, and er, raise you with an even uglier high quill stem!

Not sure there's a huge difference between a triathlon bike and a TT bike (although www.timetriallingforum.co.uk had a 115+ page thread going on about 3cm) but I quite like my TT bike. My profile picture shows me on it but since that was taken wheels, cockpit and brakes have been replaced.

Thorn would be among the favourites in an ugly stem competition.
The bars on a stick represent a triumph of function over form, I don't doubt they make for comfy touring but they are hardly elegant to look at.
