I pretty sure there's a rule on here somewhere about making comments like that and not backing them up with some pics.

Its not correct, but I still like it..

My DX is not original or correct, but I still like it... (I don't know if I like it the best though... this is a tough one).
Maybe you should have asked "which bike did you pay the most for"?

It's been decades, but the best ever was a Renault LeCar full of rusty bike parts out of an old garage behind a former bike shop. I offered to clean out the garage for them in exchange, but the owner laughed, looked at my pile of loot and $50.00 later it was all mine. I'm still using and occasionally monetizing those parts. And I picked up this funny looking camelback When I got to an auction after it was over. I was looking at it when some guy said "Sure I'll sell it to you!".

And this scruffy guy came out of a hedge when I answered a newspaper ad (remember those?) for a bike, and asked if they had any old or weird looking bikes:

The best find ever is still ahead of me!

My best was not a cruiser at all rather a silly 20 inch bmx bike. I scored a Cooks brothers complete bike at a garage sale with the serial number of #666! I kid you not! This was 15 yrs ago. Paid 40 bucks and I promptly sold it for 700! Darn thing now would be worth 2k or better I imagine!
