Win a fugly bike

road.cc have a competition for a Charge Plug bike

Schwag Grab: a Plug Charge Grinder worth £600! | road.cc | The website for pedal powered people: Road cycling, commuting, leisure cycling and racing. Voted the UK's number 1 cycling website at the 2010 BikeBiz awards.

We think it's a cracking looking bike, and we're not alone. Of all the bikes that have come and gone from road.cc towers, not many have been as much admired as the Grinder. It really is pretty. And it can be yours.

I have to disagree with this assessment, it's bloody horrible

Um, yeah.  That's not pretty, is it.

Mind you, there was a lot, lot worse at the Cycle Show, including a bike that appeared to have its top tube made out of bog rolls.

This one is custom built for a rider with two left hands.

Well, it's a funny colour, but other than that it's ok :)

I reckon the Charge Plug, or Plug Charge or whatever it's called*, would look better with different bars and in a less drab colour.

Those Puma bikes are revolting in colour, shape and everything.

*They seem to be calling it a Plug Charge, but I thought Charge was the make.

I like that bike.  Nice to see a drum brake on the front.
