The Merlins are beautiful, the Soncini Sport full of innovation. The one i'd like in my shed The Legnano.

Soncini sport is a fantastic piece of history,full of innovation and character,claud butler very nicely done but needs to be sold to a smaller person,i would also cherish that legnano if it were mine,pure period class.
Syn-crossis merlin gets my vote though on the basis that if i love it to look at and if i owned it i'd be on it every day.Modern classic with ride appeal!

I do like the the Legnano. But even more I do like the La Redoute Motobecane. My vote goes to the Motobecane. As promised earlier. Nice bike an so original and in such a mint condition.

It's gotta be Ian's Motobecane for me. Iconic team bike that Ian has worked wonders with. Strong group this month though.
