What is your coolest bicycle? In your opinion.

[MarkKBike]

I don't have any real cool vintage bikes yet. My favorite in my collection is probably my Schwinn Varsity that I refurbished, but that is mostly do to sentimental reasons as it was originally a childhood gift from my parents. It is one of the nicer looking bikes I have turned out.

Probably my favorite one to ride is also a Schwinn, A beat up Schwinn Le Tour (This one requires the least effort to peddle in my collection, and is a nice smooth ride. I like it for longer trips). I'm still a beginner in this hobby, and enjoy seeing all the wonderful bikes posted in these forums.

The bike that has received the most compliments, and questions from others out on the trails is the Higgins in my avatar, Its a rat type of build from a collection of various parts.

My favorite at the moment is this recent acquisition.

Not the rarest, oldest, or most expensive. But the one you think is the coolest bike in your collection.

My first prewar Schwinn. 1941 Excelsior Dx. Nothing special or fancy about it, but I still have it and I love it.
I took the dents out of the tank and painted it along with a few other tune ups.

My coolest bicycle in my opinion, that's a tough call because I've acquired several lately that are pretty cool. But I have to go with the '37 Viking. Since this pic was taken I've added a sure spin and a horn lite.

I've got a few that are pretty good contenders for the honor, but I'd have to say this one is the coolest. I'm the third CABE member to own this bike that I know of. Purchased from Aaron Thomas, who purchased it from Scott Mc. I'd appreciate any more info on any previous owners.
