^^In that instance they clearly serve a purpose though....? In terms of the frame's original purpose anyway.

I don't really understand.

There's nothing to say that a functional track end has to join the stays in such an ugly way.

The ends look like an afterthought. Like one guy designed the rest then handed over to a track end specialist who couldn't be arsed or something.

Think he means the fat aero tubes (which by the way are actually awesome as fuck) not the track ends.

Think he's referring to comment regarding ugly tubes

I don't see any ugly tubes anywhere...

Huge aluminium aero profiled tubes are ugly as fuck

Never been too keen on aluminium tubes myself...

and the big wheel keeps on turning.

Thank you Mr Kiss, I was indeed.

Probably more suited to this thread (it's absolute perfection in my eyes) love it

the only thing i'd think about changing would be tracking down some unfluted Campag pistas

I was going to stick it in here but wasn't sure.

That Raleigh is perfect (well, apart from the straps...)

How many logos can you get on one bike?

how ugly can you make compact bars

^ lush enit.
don't think there's much I'd change on that at all - and those changes are just personal preference

It has road fork. Track wound ups looks better with less rake.

how ugly can you make compact bars

compact bars are ugly by design, that is just one hit you have to take

i disagree

ergo drops however are all ugly

NOw//

Maybe a re-post...

that is 100% track. doesn't really belong here.

is f**king lush though

I like that Look a lot. But now I see it; whatsup with the rear clearance..?

maybe he has a 19t cog on the other side for riding home... in which case it does belong here.

That Raleigh is a state, I can't see why people like that build? Ellipses? Really?
