Most of my bikes have plenty of patina, and I generally shoot pictures more as documentation than publicity. Still, I like my Griffon. (Since this picture was taken I've corrected my handlebar position.)

When my gold plated Guerciotti is done it will be a tough call. But I'll always be partial to Bianchi. This is the one for today.

I've since switched to a black Brooks and black bar tape...but this was fairly pretty, I'd say.

I get compliments nearly every time I ride it, and feel like I need to be at my best to do its heritage proud.
gugie might recognize the landscape of Madera county where he rode the Super Course that, according to C & V legend, I built for him.

If I ever finish a few in progress restos I'll probably have a different answer but for now it's this 1973.

I love my '74 Paramount and it is very beautiful, but the ever-photogenic Allez SE in 'enhanced original' trim (which you've seen plenty of) gets the nod.

I think they're ALL pretty, but this is the one I've owned the longest, had it re-chromed and resprayed last year. 1984 Eddy Merckx Pro SLX.
