When I saw the title, I was equating best with most historically significant. That one would have been easy, the Kestrel 4000, the first commerically successful, monocoque, carbon fiber frameset and the shape of things to come (pun intended with apologies to H.G. Wells).

However, on a traditional, steel front, a Team Miyata would be my choice from a mass volume manufacturer, while a Marinoni would be my preference from a limited volume manufacturer.
