Mines pretty
Pretty ugly!!
You're all wrong (you're not, you're all absolutely right) this Shand Stooshie with gates belt drive and Lauf forks is pretty: 
Actually, the Shand Flickr website is overflowing with pretty gravel bikes https://www.flickr.com/photos/shandcycles/albums/. I may be biased, having just ordered a frame for myself.
Gonna throw my hat in the ring...
And
Christ, it’s all gone a bit readers wives!
Wasn’t it Arsene Wenger who said “everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home”
I think mine looks nice, granted it's not the best photo, but the metallic dark green paint shines in the sun (when we get any). It's in 700x42c guise here and I've also got a set of 650x47c's to try out too

The prettiest of them all is from 1993:

Dear god no. Frame is ok, most things hanging from it are fugly.
As an aside my mate (bike shop owner) does a roaring trade converting belt drives to chain as the parts for belt drives (gates) are horrifically expensive.
Mainly G-tech bikes he does 🙂
Can't believe nobody's posted Tang's Ted James yet...
OK so the pink bits may not be to many people's taste (nor mine to be honest), but everything else about the bike is just so right! 👌🏻
How do SRAM / Shimano sleep at night knowing their designs need so much cable loop for the rear mech?
That Ted James needs better routing or different coloured housing to hide the monstrosity.

They sleep in their Di2 and AXS beds....
Sounds like a bike geek Christmas Cracker joke!
@beefy - what is that rack? I am looking for a narrow / low profile / light rack for occasional use.
The narrow one's I have seen all seem to say really narrow - like 25mm tyre width. I am after skinny rack to use with 45mm guards and 38mm tyres.
Just a heads up that Halfords did have a limited number of small frame Boardman ADV 9.0s in stock when I was browsing last night, to go with the large that's been available since launch. Shocked looking at the geo and the supplied 80mm stem, that they reckon the small fits someone like me at 5'10" and stumpy legs!

@beefy - thank you. Do you know what width of mudguard it is clearing~?
Back looking at the Nordest having sold my Marin and notice EU postage is included but UK is 89 euros extra. Thanks brexit. 🙁
