The Cannondale in the FFB "Pick Six" thread got me thinking. It might be interesting to have a thread with some real hoopdie-ish bikes. These are the types of bikes you secretly cringe at when you walk through the garage of your relatives and friends. Or the ones you chuckle a bit at when you see them proudly displayed up on a roof rack at the local trailhead.

I've seen Magna/Huffy type all the way up to an Ibis Bow-Ti that fit here. What are these things called? The title can be updated when someone comes up with a proper name.

Here are a couple to start things off:

Oh I've come across some winners

Unfortunately when I see something that's really hideous I rarely grab the picture to keep for "later use".

But that may change now that there's an "official" place for such beauties

hey that first mystery bike has magic motorcycle cranks!!!! it must be a cannondale prototype of some kind?

 

[crconsulting]

AHHHH here we go

LOL!! I guess this one doesn't need a lock

"Look into the Sun" category of bikes. Ugh.

I have some, I'll post them up in a bit.

Most Ibis BowTi's I've seen look like hell.

And just to show I'm not bias....I've seen more poorly set up Cunninghams that one should...

Oho something-or-other. The guy was a total kook.

What ever happened to D8? He hasn't been around for a while.

For this thread you would probably be refering to his multicolored Titan.
