Any bikes, frames, brands, parts that are above reproach?

[ededwards]

Linking in with comments on the Marmite thread about Fat's, I'm just wondering whether there are any bikes, frames and brands that are totally above criticism? Sort of links in with the Cool Wall but at a slight angle.

So come on, are there bikes, brands or frames that are Bradman, clearly GOAT in his field? Or is it more like a good case can be made for which is the GOAT, perhaps akin to the Federer/Laver/Sampras debates or the Pele/Maradona/Zidane argument?

And care to make a case for any in particular?

Agree with Merlin, maybe Roberts and Mantis could be added.

Potts seems to be hallowed ground and Bonty, Brodie and Dekerf all occupy a respectful position. Maybe Ritcheys too?

And if the first Breezers aren't above reproach, well I'm off

DeKerf.
He realised the brand was becoming an out of control monster, nearly quit, but scaled right back to doing what he loved.
Hats in the air for that!
