Current favorites:

- 93 Coppi in Genius tubing (lively, sprung, light and not too punishing)
- 85 Specialized Allez, lugged steel (Balanced, stable, quick and sure)
- 84 Paramount 50th (Tight, light and stiff while still feeling a bit plush)
- 83 BMZ monostay (taught, really light and twitchy, but 'wow!' fun)
- 82 Rigi stainless (Teeth rattling and sprung to 'launchpad' status. Almost scary but really fun, provided you pay very close attention to the road)
- 82 Ross Signature (Tom Kellogg)(Balanced, smooth and perfectly stable. A perfect, relaxed ride).
- 86 Columbine (Balanced and smooth to the point of 'Rolls Royce' luxury but slow steering. Must have touring angles)

Recently ridden and noteworthy:

- 85 Univega Gran Premio (Incredibly lively frame, fast and great fun. Weird 58cm seat tube, 56cm toptube combo)
- 88 Serotta Colorado (Great ride but angles so tight the toe overlap starts getting to 'toes in sopkes', instead of just to the tire).
