Unquestionably, the most Evil bike ever:

Love the yeti!
I think the definition of 'bike porn' needs to be stated because people obviously don't know what it is.
Definition of Bike Porn is 2-fold:
1) It has to get you exited - that could be a little niche!
and
2) If you purchased it and the wife found it secreted away in the top of your wardrobe/shed then she would go nuts. This is largely because of price and the fact that you kept it from her.
My current porn is:

In 1980 I had some Nike trainers that looked like that Yeti.
I've got a 575 but have to agree that the anniversary edition looks like it's been coloured in by a five year old.
This makes me go a little weak.

OK, two bikes that get my VERY excited at the moment are these. And I don't like (aka, never ridden) 29ers and can't see the point in fixies...

In his prison cell, Gary Glitter just woke up....
I'm going to have to go and knock one out after seeing these
ok.. this is a bit readers wives perhaps but here goes..
not [i]ridiculously[/i] exotic but way out of my league at the moment..

and this is more like a cheeky fling that I'd like to have..

This is doing it for me at the moment. The carbon on will make me pop, deffo.

i know that people here will shake their heads with disapproval of what i consider bike porn.but my new bike does it for me (i know that it isn't super expensive/super rare e.t.c) but it ticks all the boxes for me as to what i love about bikes (tis retro/modern 😀 [IMG] 
[/IMG] when they said skinny tubing they weren't kidding 😀
I think it looks pretty sweet, racefaceec90
spen1 thanks 😀
I dread to think what passes for actual porn if this lot is considered 'bike porn'.
Christ on a bike, dullness.
I agree with you crikey - utter dullness.
the trike is the best bike so far in this thread.
crikey & on and on - So, instead of being all snobby, what's your take on bike porn?
this sort of thing usually get's them frothing..

Not one good looking bike posted on this thread so far.
f-k the haters, i want a wooden bike! long gone are the days where i find full-sus bikes aesthetically pleasing, though i can surely appreciate how nice some would be to ride!
a nice, well made steel frame is what i like now! :O
here's mine

Whoever is responsible for the Yeti needs a slapped face its 'orrible!!
The Scott Spark whilst nice is failing badly with those white walls yuk , i got enough grief in a thread just suggesting white rims blimey.
Been as exciting as looking at pics of nuns so far. 🙂

This thread is crap. Either people posting ugly 'niche' bikes or their own bikes (none of which I'd class as 'porn').

no nice bikes out there at the moment then praps..? Or perhaps people are generally emotionally satisfied and don't need to rely on footage portraying scenes of the sexual exploitation of bicycles for personal gratification at present..
or maybe it's that the fashionisti are out riding today..?
It's not up to the usualstandards for sure..

I'm loving the wooden frame action, bit heavy but way way up on the cool stakes...for me anyway.

I'd like to tell you to f*** off but I'd actually like to see what you think is bike porn first.

Readers Wives porn level?
That Scott at the top of the thread.argh.The dog taking a dump style frame was one.. but this is the dog taking an ass scrape along the ground to cure its itchy ring style of frame.It reminds me of some kids 24" wheeled full suss bike with a failed shock that i once spotted.
Some nice parts on it but i couldnt walk into the shed and look at that and think "cant wait to go out on this today".You would have had to be dropped at birth to think thats appealing!
Well, I used to look at mine in glossy mags, dreamt about it (albeit once only, and even then only really in passing) and the wife wasn't too chuffed about it when it appeared in the garage.. Even if I did sell 2.5 bikes to put towards it's purchase cost.
Fine, folk don't think my bike is porn, but I like it, and it makes me happy. Sorry if I haven't posted up pics of a bamboo 69'r with white rims and neon foam grips but I think niche rubbish like that is, well, rubbish.
GIRUY.
I have realised that my last post was a bit ott and apologise.
I was unhappy with some of the posts putting folk down but realise that I was in turn, putting down folk who's opions may differ from mine. In my defense, Its been a hard night in Glasgow but that's no excuse..
mr hughes you just made this thread worthwhile
I refer to my earlier thread.

You have a valid point there Dave. If you look at my initial link, you will see what I was on about when I said bike porn. Most of these bikes are pig ugly, or peoples built up mongrels.
WTF is that Terry? Looks bloody great!
Yes, they're both mine, but I do feel these fit the bill of bike porn... curves, technology and lovely details all add up for sexiness IMHO

psychle you can get away with it as your bikes [i]are[/i] "porn". Personally I prefer the mojo in white but Ive always loved white bikes (used to lust after the Nomad til I bought one, sometimes its a case of never meet your heroes 🙄 )
Surely "porn" = aspirational, out of most peoples financial reach? Liking your own bike doesnt make it porn if most of us could afford it (and whilst my Alpine 160 is quite an expensive build its so fugly it could never count regardless of kit!).
Not sure I'd be comfortable riding this if I had it

psychle and trailflow, they are damn nice!
Personally, I like it old school.....

I had one of those....
JEngledow- watch that image, it got me 2 day ban due to Victorian Sensibilities Moderator 👿
and for that reason, I really can't be arsed anymore.
Im liking Terry's bike best so far....still like to know what it is?
psychle
At the risk of being a bit too personal..............were you suffering from a bad case of 'the farmers' or something when you built the Ibis?
Bikes are wicked BTW 🙂
I can't stop looking at either of these.

It's an Ari custom, made in Israel. I rode a rigid ss and 160mm HT (!) version a while back, both 29ers, really nicely made frames. Ari's brother works at a cool bike shop in Copenhagen that sells Genesis and Singular and we rode a couple of Aris out there. Worth looking up.

Obviously Mr Hughes has it bang on. I love really simple lines and the Ari custom and the English ss are hardcore porn to my eye. Never seen seat stays as thin as that.
That English with the special needs handlebars is so far from being porn it's untrue.

I wonder if there's one single bike we can all agree on being porn on this thread? (apart from the woman's arse, of course)
