What's the ugliest road racing bike then?

Whilst undoubtedly Thorns are the epitome of Soviet Tractor chic, for complete pig ugliness, it has to be Floyd Landis's Phonak BMC bike.

It's not just the clunky design and the horrid colour scheme, but also their enduring association with the complete toss pot that is Floyd Landis.

Just for you!

Thank you.

Odd but cool, I think. I've never ridden one though.

I'd love a Pedersen, so ugly, it's cool.

They're like recumbents, I think. You either get it, or you don't.

Thank you.

My pleasure. I put it in link form so the clicking of was optional!

At least it wasn't adorned by FL's gurning edifice.

Specialized Langster London Edition.
So wrong on so, so many levels.

The melted De Rosa is pretty gash an' all.

I like the Paris.

I really liked the Specialized Langster London Edition when I saw it at the Cycle Show.

May I ask what you liked about it?

What is it trying to be? Jump Bike, bmx, mountain bike?

Pub bike according to the website. Presumably on the basis that no-one will try to twok something so pig ugly.

Oh and I like those bendy melty Pinarrellos.
