The other challengers right now are my two 1987 Schwinn Prologues.
Lately, I've had some custom US builders enter into my stash. Right now, I am playing around with a Ron Stout, seeing if I can dial in the fit (its a bit small). We will see if it bumps the Cimarron from it's #1 position. It's changed a bit since this picture.
Wow, 750 bikes. Did you keep any sort of a list? Were a lot of those bikes that passed through a co-op or something, or from running a donation program. What was it about the Cimarron that beat out the others?
