The graphics man should be shot surely? White is nice but the front end graphics are shocking no?

Generally considered a matter of personal preference.

Cynic-al yes I am aware this has been discussed to death but this seems to be a final design in white? I saw much nicer decals on the selections posted on theire website before?

I'm not mad on that headtube graphic either, but if they put the price down to £399 again I'd still probably buy one.

really nice IMO, and the graphics save it from needing a headtube badge, all in the weight saving init!!

Not just you, i dont think it looks great, but compared to other brands they haven't got much to work with logo/font wise. The placement is ok, just the font and logo are a bit...basic.

Still if stuff like that adds to keeping the price low and allows people that want a carbon hardtail to buy one that otherwise wouldnt/couldnt then i guess thats the point isn't it???

Like these better - However the price tags are greater granted 😉 I wouldn't refuse a 456 - I'm not knocking it just though the front end graphics look like someones put a decal on wonky 😉

I suggest all those who have systematically pooh-poohed the CF 456's graphics since day one have a pop at designing how it "should" look. I bet 99.9% of them would look like they were drawn by a foetus.

FWIW I think they look pretty sweet.

OP: "I don't like this"

Rest: "We do but also don't really cares"

Or am I missing something.

No Gary unfortuantely but it does look a nice bike on the site 🙂 V Jealous 🙂 TBH I like the look of the Whyte 19 more than the KM-810 [stunned] 😉

That Whyte is lovely!

There were much better graphics in the 'you decide' On-One 456 page.

I think the graphic there is genius - saves on ugly 'copter tape

That frame looks even worse in white, erm, in my opinion of course.

The bottom bracket junction, head/top/down tube junction and the chainstays just look too large & blobby.

The graphics are borderline retarded. However, of course i couldn't do better.

Likewise, just because Big Brother is a better TV programme than i could produce doesn't mean i want to watch it.

I think it looks superb - bike-wise, that is.

I like it, although in my view the frame is hideous anyway. Is the wraparound graphic not just a copy of what charge bikes were/are doing anyway.
