The person asking the question has no taste.

Appearance is a purely subjective thing that isn't something that can be measured. One person could
love the way a certain bike looks and another one may think it sucks.A more useful thing is to as which of a particular type of bike is most likely to perform well. This
is something where actual facts can be used to form an opinion. -

I think he's just asking for opinions, not guidance. It struck me as a "survey" kind of question not
unlike, "Which one is more attractive, Angeline Jolie or Elizabeth Hurley?".Regards, Bob Hunt

Elizabeth Hurley, of course. (On my shiny new Klein Team Q-carbon!)
Sigh.

you want to do with your bike.--

see is what you get. -

Wheels that were some shape other than circular would not be very useful, however. 😉
