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.

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

 

[andrewl]

For me its the Miyata Century. Very elegant and classy

2009 was the year of the C-26

 

[tintin40]

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

 

[Tallpaul]

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
