I think if you just polished the rust off the nail and replaced the shag carpet with a nice Berber the bike would look awesome.

I'm surprised this thread is so old and I never posted my hideous Maza:
It's an old photo and things have been changed, but she's still going strong.

Maybe I don't have an ugly bike. I only have five. And I'm no longer into red paint. If it were that baby blue color from the '70s (and a half size bigger), I'd feel closer to it.
sorry/not sorry?

Nice bikes.
A lot of these bikes look really nice. Here is another UgLy bike.
This is one of my favorite bikes though and I ride it a lot. My favorite part about this bike is that it has a Dura Ace rear derailleur and corncob freewheel, but they are on a cheap department store bike.

I needed to clear my head today, so in spite of my hip hurting; I pulled down my tracklocross setup. Mystery dented frame (and $5 NOS rims) from the co-op. Consensus here was possibly Holdsworth, rides like 531. Hubs are laced with 15/16 db spokes, tires are 35c front, 32c rear. Fixie crap cranks were super cheap and 165mm. "Simpsons" pedal straps. A perfect ****box. Light, fast enough on any surface, and ugly enough for people to ask "Did you see what he was riding? as I pass them at the city mtb park.

My main ride. Definitely more practical than anything else.
This Shogun that I got for free. As of now, it has been sitting in the co op for around a month with a bent fork due to a failed attempt to get the stuck stem out. Hopefully, it will ride again with a horribly mismatched fork.
Or this 1994 Scott MTB that I recently finished building up.

It’s got to be my Teledyne… they are just kind of odd looking.
