Pretty bikes without all the bad font and branding

[AndyRM]

Quite nice, but just exactly the same as all the other retro look bikes

True, but there's really not much you can do with the shape/look of a classic steel frame.

I think all the Genesis bikes are sexy, but I already have one and feel I should buy something different for my second bike. Orrrr I could just be a total Genesis whore?

Really @sazzaa ??

They are all really old now & Phil Collins is bald & fat too.

I love Genesis bikes

Wish folk would stop linking gorgeous cx bikes, I already have one, it's a road/sportive I'm after next!

This Whyte is rather nice.

And you'd save a fair whack of cash as well.

Black, too much bad font and too much like a cx.

Missed your dislike of black, though I did think the geometry was pushing it a bit...

Pretend I only mentioned the Shand.

It's ok, I don't think I'm ever going to get bored of looking at bikes, it's pretty much all I do on work breaks now...

In that case...

No discs, but with some old school cool. Maybe too much font though?

I like this as well:

Very clean/sharp looking and not fussy on the font front.

Now that is pretty, shame they don't build them in England anymore and the Raleigh brand has suffered such from bad bikes in the past, when they did actually make some real good uns

Interesting that for many 'pretty' seems to equal 'retro'. Lots of coloured bands on thin frame tubes. Isn't it just nostalgia?

Less branding , no big fonts was the original request. This is found on more restrained steel frames it seems rather than alu, carbon modern bikes
