Bike porn

I for one don't think the Ridley graphics are any worse than say, Trek or Giant's are.

Not much worse. Trek's CX bikes and Giant's TCRs look pretty swell these days.

What grates a bit is that the Noah is full of real design features and (some) innovation, but everyone hates on it... whereas something like a Ritte has ZERO design in it and some OK graphics, and everyone here fawns over them. Surely designed features can be porn?

Ritte's innovation was being a road bike and not having shit graphics! This may win as many races as the funky brakes.

Considering how many ugly Cervelo's get posted here without a squeak, one can only assume it's down to brand snobbery.

C' on, we're always slating ugly Cervelos.
