Title: Ugly BMX bits - add yours!
Post by: 20to26 on October 19, 2011, 11:58 AM: We all know Freestyle spawned some seriously ugly bits & bobs so I thought it might be a bit of a laugh to showcase the best of UGLY in a thread - maybe one day we'll build such a beast, the UGLY BIKE ...

To get things rolling how about this mid school mind bender of a seat from Freak Factory - I can't explain why it hasn't been tossed and continues to lurk in my stash:

Surely this is the epitome of ugly? ;D

What you got?

Post by: Peter J on October 20, 2011, 10:32 AM: Never liked these............... :-\

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/a253/the1carper/CW.jpg)

Don't like these, it may be because when I was a kid I wanted B1's and my Dad bought these instead because they were cheaper..........I had to race a season with them :'(
