Glad I wasn't eating when I saw that, it's truly offensive :shock:

Can there be anything worse.....

That's not the nicest looking bike but it looks like it would fit someone really, really tall. Not sure how it should look? 44er wheel size for Giants??

It would look much better if it had giant wheels.

For some reason I find massive headstocks really upsetting.

Interesting, that top bike is a 700c wheel as well. That person must be most big.

The Surly is looks like the 26inch version of the LHT, so not quite the same.

Great bike when loaded up though. To quote my Grandfather "Greg, you don't look at the fireplace when you're poking the flames. She's grand"

looks better than thorn.....

thorn like stem spacers - i think they have shares in a stem spacer company.....

I have a thorn raven enduro i bought for a donor (rohloff) and its hands down the worst frame ive ever used. it was bought new in 2002 and it seems to me like it came out of 1992 regarding geometry......at least the LHT is a good ride.

Maybe that's why they invented those cycling capes. They're useless at keeping you dry but they would hide your fugly

I shudder to think how big a headstock and spacer stack this guy's hiding :lol:

Not the prettiest bikes but far from the worst. tbh I like a bike that looks like someone specced it up to put bars etc where they needed them rather than slamming the stem for fashion and looks then never using the drops - less ugly, but more stupid : )

edit, OK, 'not the worst' rather than 'far from' .. :grin:
