has anyone intentionally built an ugly bike? i dont mean some of the crackers you see on ebay, built using everything from bankrupt bike parts. i mean using some decent parts but trying to make it look like a pile of crap. i'm in the process of doing one right now but still got a lot of work to do on the frame then paint it. still got to get some parts for it but once i've done the work on the frame i'm gonna start posting some pics. if anyone has some photos of ugly bikes for then post them up here for some inspiration.

They're known as 'Freestyle' bikes.... there are loads of them on here. True story.
;D

Kungfunky and Southern Andy are masters at it!
:LolLolLolLol:
-
Nice to see her being built up, ugly or otherwise :daumenhoch:
-
I deffo think that's the worst rear end on any bmx I have ever seen! ???
-
Has it snapped yet?
-

Wasn't that stock from the factory though?
-
It wasn't nicknamed 'the wheelbarrow' for nothing :LolLolLolLol:
-
Facebook and Ebay are the homes of ugly bikes ... seldom see them on here :daumenhoch:
-
needs a CW braced layback post! :daumenhoch:
-

yup, it had already been rewelded and extra plates welded on too.
-

i do need a layback post for it, i'm not going to go as far as a snakepost though but a cw braced post would be nice if anyone has one. :daumenhoch:
-
One build on my list is to do a build purely with Lander parts ???
-
got some dildo grips for it. ;D

Agreed. Have a look on the freestyle section of :radbmxsmilie: for a load of ugliness, extra tubes and stuff sticking out of frames and forks, funny shaped bars, cables all over the place and loads of nasty colours too.........I'll get me coat :2funny:
-
It's all a bit harsh lads isn't it! :LolLolLolLol:
I'll get me coat .... Taxi for Factory Pilot ! :D
-
I only do ugly :daumenhoch:
-
been nearly a year but almost have it finished, just waiting on a chain and need to true the rear wheel.
this was my inspiration.
-
i didn't want to do an exact copy but i wanted to use most of the colours.
-
It actually looks WAY better than I thought it would!!! I hate TSII's but that has to be the best I have seen.... :daumenhoch:
-
Like the colours... looks cool. 8)
-
Kinda cool that . I like it :daumenhoch:
-
I think its cool because its different :4_17_5:
Put it in Bike Of The Month I'd vote for it :)
-
Right up my street that is. Always had a soft spot for a tricky ll. Ugly fookers that they are.
-
finally got it finished, turned out better looking than i thought it was going to be.
-
WOW !
Cant beleive that was my old frame! Youve done a cracking job with it mate. Really glad i decided to move it on now as it would have just sat there.
Love the colour scheme. Botm for me all day long :daumenhoch:
-
This is the coolest looking Trickstar-II I've seen so far. :4_17_5: I love the colours and the lovely mix of parts you used. I must admit usually not being a fan of that rear end, but this changed my view.
Very very cool mate! :daumenhoch:
PS: Mission failed :LolLolLolLol: ;) it turned out great.
-
I really like it, nice one :coolsmiley: :daumenhoch:
-
Must admit it does have a certain appeal :daumenhoch:
-
So, which one is the boat anchor? :D
It actually looks pretty nice :shocked:, what does it ride like?

think it weighs about the same as the boat anchor, only had a little pedal on it but it feels pretty good to ride, plenty room on it and doesn't feel a million miles away from a new school bike.

Best thing I've seen in a good while, fookin cracking job John :smitten:
-
had to do a fair bit of work on this, i removed a couple of plates that had been welded on the rear dropouts up to the brake mounts. i also removed a set of canti mounts of the forks. i made the z rim from an old 4 spoke acs z wheel and the front pegs were drilled out to fit a bolt that fitted the forks. i then made the decal for the chainwheel and made the z rim decals. the paintjob on the frame isn't great, i just did it with some rattlecans.

That's a special set of skills! I love that. :daumenhoch:
