Most Beautiful Bike
What do members think is the most beautiful bike in the world? I go for the Moulton TSR 30 with Campag shiny bits. The Faberge egg of bicycles (at least to me.)

The answer to this is already known. It's Mick F's Mercian!
Big wheels good, small wheels better.
Two saddles best!

Whatever I happen to be riding at that time.
Although I am seriously drolling over the Helios Auster tandem, think I'd better get in early with my letter to Santa.

You don't ride something like that. You pilot it.

Re: Most Beautiful Bike
the most beautiful bike certainly won't be equipped with dangly, crude gears.
it's also going to have the traditional form of 1" & 1 1/8" tubes. preferably metallic paint
it'll have to have a brooks saddle
and for the odd ones amongst you whose favourite colour isn't blue

One mans vinegar is another man's wine, but I really, really want a Pedersen.
Re: Most Beautiful Bike
For my money the most beautiful bike remains the Street Machine GT(from the front side) a classic of form and function.

These would all be contenders for me, bit I'd have to say that for me the most beautiful bike is an F frame Moulton.
