This is the most attractive steel frame bike I’ve ever seen

For Christmas I was given a copy of It's All About the Bike: The Pursuit of Happiness On Two Wheels by Robert Penn. It's an enjoyable read about a cyclist who travels the world to collect the components to build his ultimate road bike. One thing he omitted was a pic of his bike. So I went online to find it. Not that impressed: http://totalwomenscycling.com/lifestyle/10-of-the-coolest-custom-bikes-22970/5/#67lqDUm0Yfvu5lOB.97 So I started looking for attractive steel framed bikes. This is the sexiest I've seen: http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12936130 What do others think and do you have a favourite to share?

I have a thing at the moment for any bike in mirror polished 953 with ~40-60mm carbon rims. Preferably with seat stays thinner than Bono’s credibility.

I hear you on that. Would love a frame in Reynolds 953. If it’s good enough for Madison Genesis, it’s good enough for me!

It is his choice. It’s just the wrong choice!

There is a tv programme, oft repeated, of Penn’s build.

I don’t like it either and prefer the one you posted, but it’s all about personal choice.
