Title: You Ugly!
Post by: Spokes on October 14, 2009, 12:51:03 pm

I saw this a while ago and is it just me or does this bike not work. The Vectors just dont go.
This must be the ugliest bike I ever saw.

I think if it were a few inches higher it would be OK - it just looks squat like that

I think that was the guy that was using it as a beech cruiser ?

If it is, like it or not, it was very nicely built  :)

Kind of reminds me of a recliner. Where's the cup holder? :D

And the Crosslinks don't go with it either!  (sorry for the pedantic correction!)

The polished side faces of the ULM are interesting............

Maybe a set of Carbon CS's would look better on it.

Yeh, I saw this a while ago, it definitely looks "squat", maybe that's because of what appears to be avery high seat post?

Anyone know who the frame is from?

Cool with the Spinergy's though! Nearly as cool as my XP-X..............<GRIN>

OK smart arse polished crosslinks! The polishing fooled me . :)

The frame is so chunky it looks like it should have an electric motor in there. Maybe it has?! :D
Still looks wrong with those forks.

Thanks for the appreciation of my rear!
Was that you behind me last night?
Boy! do I look good in Lycra!
<GRIN>

Hmm, so a Jamis eh?

That photo in the link looks better, the Crosslinks don't do anything for the looks of that bike.

I can appreciate the frame style, possibly for the likes of my wife, who likes a low stand over height and higher handlebars than saddle.

Maybe I'll buy one.............. <GRIN>

I agree Colin, it looks much better and more in proportion without the crosslinks. I also thought it might be a female specific frame due to the low slung style.
Variety keeps life interesting so each to there own and good luck to him.

I guess there are people who dont like the look of Proflex's...............strange people  ;) :)
