Been watching this thread with interest. I just can't come up with five all timers, as other lists have demonstrated how many fabulous bikes are out there. So I'll take the approach of Charles "If you put a gun to my head" what would I keep that I already own...
No particular order:
1. 75 Alex SiNGER 2. 72 Schwinn Paramount track, chrome 3. circa 80 3Rensho Super Record Export 4. 01 EBISU 5. circa 71 Masi GC - newly acquired superfun project
One I'd like to have:
mid 1960's top-level road racer or sport-tourer(e.g. Masi Special, Herse, British mark)
