Tis truly beautiful - a work of art on wheels!

It looks like it has had about 10 different colour coats during it's lifetime and has now been doused in paint thinner to me, maybe there is lots of detail and the paintjob actually resembles something but it doesn't translate to me. But whatever you like

And that's being generous!

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 ?

Yes I would and I'm pleased to say I do it's a 2012 roubaix elite and it looks mint

I think this comment is a prime example of the reason for my mission to get an "unlike" included in the options on posts Ugly indeed

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.

Can't believe I said this. The 2013 Venge Comp is a thing of absolute beauty and I'm considering dropping down to a 105 groupset just for the colour scheme.

I have a Specialized Allez and I don't think it is ugly. In fact, I think it is somewhat different from traditional frames and I like it. Like any bikes, it only goes as well as the person riding it.
