I have no interest in modern day carbon bikes so that narrows the field considerably for my selections.
I own a 2004 Ti Merlin Cyrene, a keeper;
also a 1992 Bridgestone RB1, another keeper;
for my third I would go for a vintage Paramount or Bottechia or De Rosa or Colnago, something vintage along those lines.
