**The most iconic bikes of all time**?

[Elefantino]

What bikes would you consider to be worthy of a spot on a "best of" bike porn list?

I'm not talking about specific models but rather specific bikes, like a classic Coppi or Pantani Bianchi, a Merckx De Rosa, or a Indurain Pegorello or a Tomac drop-bar Raleigh.

I'd like to put together a definitive list of the most lust-worthy road, mountain, track and BMX bikes.

TIA!

Charlie Cunningham (Anything)
Jeff Jones (Ti Spaceframe)
Ibis (Scorcher)

I think the fact posters are mentioning the names of the riders probably means the bikes themselves aren't iconic.

That's because none of them ride by themselves (at least until Cancellera)

The rider helps identify it as a 'specific bike' , as per the op, non?
