Why would anyone ask such a question that is based on personal preference?

That's exactly what I'm asking. Just curious what people think are good looking bikes. "Mark Jones"

Appearance is a purely subjective thing that isn't something that can be measured. One person could
love the way a certain bike looks and another one may think it sucks.

A more useful thing is to as which of a particular type of bike is most likely to perform well. This
is something where actual facts can be used to form an opinion.

I think he's just asking for opinions, not guidance. It struck me as a "survey" kind of question not
unlike, "Which one is more attractive, Angeline Jolie or Elizabeth Hurley?".

Elizabeth Hurley, of course. (On my shiny new Klein Team Q-carbon!)

Sigh.

I really don't care to know how well a bike performs. I want people's subjective opinions on
bicycle design.

Form follows function. The basic design is two circles and two triangles. The rest depends on what
you want to do with your bike.

The thing is you can't separate the two. A bicycle is beautiful because it performs well. What you
see is what you get.

This is not true of many upright bicycles, not to mention the Dark Side.

Wheels that were some shape other than circular would not be very useful, however.
