Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hello again!

Totally subjective matter; which one of these Specialized bicycles you consider the most beautiful?

black with the yellow on the fork

the all white one is second best, and most safe as it is most visable under all lighting conditions

None of them do anything for me but like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Don't really care for any of them, but if I had to pick it would be the black and yellow one.

Do you guys think Specialized has failed miserably in the artistic aspect of their 2011 bikes?

The blue one is the nicest of the bunch to -my- eye.
That doesn't mean it's the best one for you to buy , tho.

The blue and white one is prettiest of all. None of the flat bar bikes are attractive at all.

No, sir, you're wrong. The one that's the fastest is the right answer. And in this case, blue bikes are faster, so #4 would win. But we're judging looks exclusively

So you guys, if somebody was buying one of these for you as a gift, you would turn all of these down because of the looks? I mean, isn't there any of them you would find acceptable? I'm addressing to the guys that passed all of them.
