Ryun's HSS Firefly.

Not the best pic, but this is my favorite steel rim brake perfection bike of all time. Arguably my favorite bike of all time. The color, the pipes, the dropouts and the white panels on Orange with the FF logo. Be still my heart.

Pictured as Ryun built it and after as Stephen did. Don't know where it is now been sold a few times I think.
If I could have 1 bike built today for me, this would be it. Alas Firefly's waitlist is too long and I don't think they are even building in steel any longer.

Hampstens, no matter the model or color, all tend to look great to me. Maybe it’s a combination of Hampsten’s design language and the choices made by the riders who tend to buy them. But they always look purposeful and graceful to me. Would love to ride one.

Agreed. The gruppo and wheel choices certainly complement. Sigh, I bought a set of those wheels shown here recently from the UK and eBay global shipping somehow lost them. 🙁

Here are a few (non-Serottas):










Of these, I only still have the newer Sachs and one of the Hampstens.
