Is it just me or aren't Specialised bikes pretty ugly ? Sure I can believe they're good and functional but would you really want to ride one ?

I don't like them either.

I ride one and I don't think it's ugly. It is a 2006 Roubaix, mind you....

Think my 2010 white Roubaix looks good, but their black / red colour schemes are usually particularly ugly. Think the problem is they have so many models and variations of those models that they need to do something to differentiate them.

Yeah, on reflection I think it's their dual colour schemes that appear below average.

They usually look better in the flesh than in photos... Especially this years colours.
