I thought about some other canidates about the garage (most are prettier), but I am going to have to stick with the bike with the most utility.
A co-worker has one of these built up with all new components, and I think it is one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen.
I'm sure my Diamondback will usurp once I've had a chance to do more than a short test ride, but I'm going with my Schwinn Mirada. It is heavy, and almost impossible to go at a speed that could be considered fast, but it just brings me joy when riding it, like a bike should.
