Manitou for me.

Loved it from the minute I first saw it in MBUK back in '92.

Ooooooo this is going to be hard, At the moment I am torn between Petes Ultimate and Defiants Serotta.

mmmm :roll:

I'm gonna go with Archangels stumpy.

That Dynatech has one of the most memorable paint jobs in the sport, so it gets my vote. Perfect.

For me its the Miyata Century. Very elegant and classy

2009 was the year of the C-26

Sinnett177's 1993 Team Raleigh Dyna-Tech or the Pace either are the best of British

Mike's C-26, the most complete bike tale ever told on this site. The perfect antithesis to the vulgarity of that $12k auction.

Close second being Pete's Bradbury Manitou.

Can 2010 produce stories close to either of these? Less 200GS and more exotica please!

The Month of June and the Dyna-Tech is the perfect combination IMO
