What's your nicest looking bike?

So, my Moser and Della Santa are my nicest riding bikes, and they certainly don't look bad. What's your nicest looking bike? Here's mine (not a bad rider either, except the tires... they suck).

This will probably change when I get my Zunow back from Franklin Frames for a repaint.

I'm partial to this one in the looks department, though I really like the ride of it as well

Here's your Davidson, very pretty bike.

I don't think any of my bikes look as good as they might if someone with a better eye than I had built them. That goes for my photography as well, I'm always disappointed. I'll have to browse my photos for some sort of compromise.

That Davidson is a nice looking bike! I’ve always wanted a bike with that color red or something similar. Looks good dressed in silver or black.

Thanks,
I'm no photographer and I sure as hell can't figure out how to post them.

Look in the box below where you type in your reply that has the header "Additonal Options". In that box, click on "manage attachments". A new window will open that allows you to browse your computer and upload images. There's a limit on size for the site, so if you get a message telling you that the file failed to upload it's probably because the file was too large. I use Mihov image resizer to scale my photos down when needed. Free and easy to use.

Old photos, different wheels and other bits now. I can't decide which frame I like best from the the visual perspective. The C59 clear coat really makes it pop in person. The Dream AD10 is my favorite scheme.

Man that's a tough one... but I think it's got to be the old Opus III.











There's just a classic beauty to it that none of my other bikes can touch, not even the amazingly sweet looking Paletti.

Thanks, I'll try it again next time. Guessing file size has been too large. Just started using a free hosting site in hopes that it would work.

Coincidentally this is my best riding bike, too. My Boulder is probably the one that "has it's **** together" the most out of the current collection.
