Should my new bike frame look like this?

New Rose bikes look Damned ugly to me

Yeah, they look like they've got scabies.

Rose do an X-Lite CRS in very natty & Patriotic (to us Brits) White//Red/Blue colour scheme which reminds me of the Union Flag which is nice.

Not sure about the top tube that curves down in the middle rather than up though.

Great Spec for the £££, full Ultegra Di2 & Ritchey WCS finishing kit for £2600, decent wheels too.

I think I would have done a little basic research into what exactly I was purchasing before laying down £2000!

If, having done my research, I decided that was indeed the bike that best suited my needs, I wouldn't let a visual quirk of the finish put me off.

Matt UD carbon is only one of the finishes available. I prefer it - I don't like their new stripey finishes at all, seems Rose is is just following the herd, sadly.
