Subject: [CR]Beater bikes?

Let's call these "fallen icons," or something like that. What marques of renown are the beater, commuter, utility, etc., bikes of list members? I have a Helyett that has gone through a number of different setups from fixed gear to century bike with old Superbe Pro group, about to become a town bike again. A customer of mine used to have a Gimondi/Chiorda which a previous owner to him had butchered into a cross bike including crooked canti studs and Taiwanese hybrid fork. What else is out there? Inquiring minds want to know.
