All three of these are perfect. That Time especially, my goodness.

That orange Merck is a good candidate in my book. But then, I'm partial to orange bikes.

I submit my own two candidates from opposite ends of the spectrum.

That Weigle is elegant. The curved lines on the front fork...

My humble ~2011 HiMod, exactly what I was looking for in a bike in 2021, takes 42mm rubber at it's absolute limit and features a very lively "road" bike sort of feel. Very much a "go-anywhere" save for perhaps sticky mud(?).
I've since added a white X9 mid-cage and 11-32t cassette...

The Mini-V brakes offer extreme leverage so limited retraction travel, less of a problem because of my very light weight (less wheel flex), but perhaps overly responsive (power) for paceline use.

The $800 price (sans usable wheels) added to my previous $200 bargain Mavic AllRoad gravel tire/wheel package deal came together you could say, the 33mm (as mounted) tubeless AllRoad tires are a very light 310g each.

Showing off it's "original" handlebar tape :p

Still one of my favorite Pegs. Ryun has good taste, wish he were a bit shorter.

Ditto. Wish he were a bit taller.

Wait…no I don’t.

Agreed. That's gorgeous. A Luigino with those panels is fantastic.

I posted my aluminum Zank on page 4, but here are my other two: Kirk JKS, and Alliance by Erik Rolf - more rim brake goodness.

To be fair Ryun should buy bicycles in a "range" of sizes.
