Muddy fox[the early ones were 531, i think]
Clockwork
P7
I've no experience of these other brands you guys have listed,but these 3 surely must be included

OK On-One should probably not be in the list but it does handle very well according to many a reveiw and rider. Day before i was going to buy a nice used one I was thrown from my Taiwanese no name special into the trail at Spooky Wood, Glentress and broke bones thus did not actually get the Inbred.
RATTTSSSS
Now I can't get one cos its not retro............yet

An on-one has just as much right to be on the best of steel list as any!

I have owned some very good hand built quility steel over the years. And of all this stuff, i would put my Surly 1x1 up there with some of the best. :shock:

It doesn't have the looks of a De-kerf, build of a Roberts db or the Kudos of A Ritchey annapurna. What it does have is a ride to price ratio that is hard to beat.

You stand up for your on-one, and be proud of the way it rides.

If its steel and you rate it get it on the list,and thet includes the above Furquay,On-one and Surly.I have a steel GT Peace SS and its probably the cheapest bike I've ever had but it handles brilliantly,just ask those that were at Dalby yesterday

Al your quility doesn't match the quality of many....Surly 1x1 you must be kidding?

 

[al]

Don't get what you're saying?

Are you saying a Surly rides poorly?

If so, you are very wrong!

Interesting list. A couple I'd perhaps not neccesarily describe as 'classic' but there we go. What was the Raleigh White lightening? Rings a bell but can't quite recall it...
