Absolutely agree about that Trek - especially that totally pointless notch interrupting the seat tube. Probably the marketing blurb says it saves one nanowatt of drag.

I see your ugly Trek, and raise you this Pinarello (from 2006). One of the ugliest bikes ever made in my opinion (and continuing the red, black and white theme).

OmG we got so sick of the RedWhiteAndBlack colour scheme of virtually every road bike back then.
Next try explaining to someone why that spoke pattern is a good idea
Then follow up with the stays

That's awful.

Why did someone not check both the wheels and crank were in the correct position prior to taking the photograph?

If I look at it for more than a few seconds, I feel slightly nauseous.

The misaligned wheels and the wavy stays and graphics are just queasy.
