So What is the best old Bike?

You're treading on thin ice, I was able to vote, but some won't be able to and get ready for people to start crying that their favorite old bike brand isn't in the list.

HEY! WHY YOU NO PUT ELGIN ON THERE?!?!?

I voted Huffman, but Elgin would be a very close second for me....

Good poll though.

 

[axsepul]

monark all the way very close with rollfast which is not on the list

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I kinda got a soft spot for Higgins so there's my $0.02 :mrgreen:

Very thin ice, there are a few exceptions but these are primarily American cruisers/kids bikes, surely some of the most desirable but hardly the best bicycles ever made.

I have questions. :? :lol: All types or just "cruisers"? What are you going to use it for? Was it built on Tuesday morning, or the last ten minutes on Friday? Who owned it previously, and where did they store it? How tall and heavy are you?... :mrgreen: enough.

Personally, I favor Schwinn and Columbia frames, although I prefer other brands for certain parts (mostly forks on Schwinns and stems on Columbias :roll: ). And who doesn't love the cool and sturdy Murray Spaceliner, or a full dress Monark?

My all time favorite, the home built mixed breed Frankenbike, isn't even on the list. :wink:

Just added Elgin for ya. :wink:

I just voted for CCM which may not be the best but its the best bike Iv'e owned and built like a tank.

I will answer just like I do when asked what the best beer is.

The absolute best beer is FREE beer. Next best beer would be a cold one.

Kinda` like "What`s the best food?" ain`t it? (Pez, cherry flavoured Pez...) :wink:

 

[kngtmat]

I voted Murray, the first bike that had that lasted me the longest but maybe some day I would like to have everything on the list, atleast ride them.

 

[M.Martian]

No Dayton on the list. My favorite bike has to be the Twin Flex.

 

[caffeine7]

I can dream about rolling on a Bluebird or a full dress Monarch but the best old bike imho is mine, i can ride them anytime

I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo. Schwinn bikes are BEST! I thought everyone knew that. :roll: Gary
