That's one weird chainstay.

All four of those are really ugly.

Yet these are the bikes of the tour de France 2o19 William...

Haha, sure, that doesn't make them beautiful.

For billboards they are not so ugly either.

The only good looking bike in Tour is the blue Wilier that Direct Energie uses.
Those Bianchis are a mess. Too many logos, bad striping, just paint it Celeste all over.
The Roval wheels need a makeover too, why not just put ROVAL on them instead of that mess. Did they buy decals that were too big and can't get the whole thing on the rim?

I just did exactly that for a customer on a brand new Oltre XR4 disc.
I would have just had the downturn logo if it was my decision.

And whilst I’m here, recent Venge done for the same customer is about as modern as it gets!

That is very clean. Would definitely be ruined by usual logos and branding. The shoutiest thing on this is the tan wall tyres, I don't think they always work.

You are right, downtube branding is enough, that is a much nicer look than the team one shown above.
Venge is awesome.
A lot of the stickers on bikes are point of sale aids. Nobody needs a reminder that their frame has countervail in its layup, or that their frame is a 54. These stickers should be removable by the buyer.
Specialized are the worst for bar code stickers, some of their frames have four or five big ugly bar code stickers. I'm never going to scan those.
