Prettiest CX bike...

[MacB]

If you had said I know the rules but I choose to ignore them as there are stupid, that would have been fine.
You chose to go the holy than you route with added smugness.

well thanks for setting me straight I think your work here is done

You forgot the mudguards.

I put mudguards and a rack on the crosser and road it over the Pennines. Twas OK - but getting the guards and rack on the bike was a battle - I think it was trying to tell me something.

Let's get this back on track with a certain Marianne Vos' TCX.

The fark is that..................

Y no likey? For an all-out, zero compromise race rig I think it's pretty tidy. Blue steerer cap and white saddle are a bit off, granted.

Ugly bars, ugly tyres, ugly chainring, too much steerer above stem, logo placement on downtube is terrible, the Rabobank stickers look completelly out of place, the coloured brake calipers look lame, it has Di2............ Shimano is ugly!

I don't think you can refer to Rhino's as ugly.

I think it looks fit, as in fit for purpose.

Here it's been 'tidied' up a bit and has the World Champ rainbow. Not sure she raced it looking like this. Personally I think it looks the nuts, but then I like a bike that's a bit single minded.

 

[Rob3rt]

Still ugly

 

[Howard]

Hah! Fair play. I can see why it's not to everyone anyone's taste

Getting your own WC stripes on a set of Dugast's is pretty cool though!

I bet it rides awesomely - my problem with the Giant TCX is the rear seatstay triangle. It is just esthetically displeasing.

And that chainset is fugly. What is that Dura-ace with weird drilled chainrings?

Yes - you know you've made it when...

Chainset is indeed 9700 - the ring is a custom Rotor Q-ring (oval).

Ooooh, custom... I am starting to like it!

As a counterpoint, here's one of Vos's competitor bikes
