It's gotta be the Volare...

It's gone through about four configurations as the bike and I figured out what exactly we wanted from each other. We ended up with a sweet blend of Dura-Ace, Cyclone, and Superbe that's built for speed. It also experienced some "only original once" decal removal (DA on chainstays) in the name of aesthetics, and will eventually see some H+Son TB-14s, at which point it will be complete. Either way, if any bike I've owned has truly been my bike, it's this one. So it gets the nod for flagship.
