Most of them, but I have a soft spot in my head...I mean heart for Bob Jackson, Motobecane and Raleighs. Currently I probably own more Raleighs than any other single marque. I think I prefer the British frame builders over others. Flying Scot, Hetchins, Dawes, Jackson, Mercian, Carlton, Bates, Taylor and the list goes on and on. I have nothing against the French, Italian, Dutch or any other nationality of frames, these are just the ones I spent the most time with and would like to own more of.
