Nice list! 30...you are ill my friend. too many but you are among friends. We are all willing to help, In fact,I will take one away from you myself to help a fellow CR friend. Those old sliding stems are very cool!
on topic: I adore my 1980 Razesa. Currently Campy equipped. Very nice riding bicycle
I love my 70s BoB Jackson, it is set up as a fixie. Very comfortable.
My New Dawes build is a pleasure to ride, although I have only limited time because of the weather currently, I took it for a stroll this weekend. Set up as a fixie as well with 27inch knobbies. Awesome! The frameset is a 50s Red Feather Club. Sweet.
My Flying Scot!!! What a beautiful bike! I am in the process of building it up...very differently. It's a secret.
Can't say I have a favorite, they all serve different purposes!

Ok, all this talk about less filling vs tastes great, Campy vs, Whatever, Zen frame building and other items are beyond my tiny little mind. Being a simple and curious man, I need to go back to the basics. I know some of you have quite the collection, but I would like to know the number of bikes you have and your top three favorites with the best distingushing feature--regardless of public opinion (Other than the frameset of course.) On topic bikes please.
I'll start
# of Bikes: 30
#1 Favorite: 1968 Hetchins Italia Best Feature: Criterium "cotterd/cotterless" crank,
#2: 1930s "Unknown" Racer Best feature: Schwinn Paramount Sliding stem
#3: 1977-78 Masi Best Feature: 4 Hole Campy front derailleur Your turn (unless everyone is too grumpy)
