My bikes aren't necessarily one of a kind as I get them, but through personalization, they seem to become one of a kind. It's rather easy to pick my bikes out of a crowd.
Case-in-point - my yellow-tired and cabled Cannondale, or the Nishiki with red overspray. The Fuji Palisade with mismatching rims and Brooks saddle, or the Schwinn "racer" with a kickback hub.
I guess the only thing that "no one else has" (except nlerner), would be the Raleigh Lenton Tourist.

There can be only one!
Then there's this... PX-10 waving a British flag and powered by a 52' Sturmey Archer SW hub, with a quadrant shifter, 50's porteur guard...
Or this 1937 Dawes with Cyclo Oppy derailleur and early 531 tubing. Currently enjoying restoration.
Or this nutty LowRacer...
Or this wacky three wheeler with 3 forward speeds and one reverse (while still pedaling forward)... It's got a vintage Dana 3 speed transmission as well as a differential...
Or this lawn mower... thing-bike...
... You can see where this is heading...

I just love the Pinarello - I would love to see more!
Here's my unique bike (there could be another one lurking somewhere in this forum). A early Kenevans Lo-pro.

My all-chrome Raleigh DL-1 variant "Boss Bike" with Dunlop balloon tyres, single speed, B-33, and huge dropstand.
I've seen a few Sports and two DL-1's in chrome but never this model.
I've posted it on many forums over the last several years and nobody has been able to tell me exactly what it is.

How about a 1966 Schwinn Typhoon in violet?
What is so neat about a plain old Typhoon? Schwinn never offered a men's middleweight in the violet color.
Before:
After a good cleaning and adding some custom goodies:
And this way cool German headlight with a wind-up clock:

1992 Klein Rascal in Ultra Violet with a MAG 20 painted to match. The stock color for the Rascal that year was hot pink/violet fade. The solid Violet was considered a custom color and it cost me extra to get it. It was fun working at a Klein dealer back then. You could call to order a bike and talk to Gary Klein if you wanted to.

Another chance to "recycle" my only road bike so far. I have posted before but since it likely qualifies: 1978 Sabatini "Record". Managed to hold on to it since new and still take it out a few times a year. Waiting to replace the worn Sedis with a Regina Oro which it originally came with. The last picture was taken in the fall of 1978 not long after I had bought it. I've made a few changes but the majority of components are original.
BURRARD BRIDGE!
nice bike too!

I've seen other Batavus bikes but this is the only one like this that I've run across, kind of sad I sold it but I couldn't afford to keep it in the garage

I'm sure at some point there was a line of these at Harrod's, but I'm guessing mine's the only one left!

Mid 1950's Peugeot PL 55, She's in much better condition than appears in this pre-cleaned photo.
Incredible attention to design details, with hand painted linework
Mechanically, she's only ever done about 10 miles.
Work in progress at the moment, more photos will follow when we've got her back in one piece,
