...a long held arty idea.

Well I need 3 more, since the first 2 are picked. Please add your nominations below. Anything iconic, town bikes, racers, MTB. Cheers!

This Thread is no good without pictures.
😉

Pics of said bikes, please.

Edit:

Cruisers are nice.
Don't leave out cruisers.

I've picked a burner and a soul/BFe should have made that clear in the OP.

Graeme Obree's Old Faithful should be in any iconic bike list imo.

WooHooo !.

I had that Raleigh Burner, the tough burner with plastic Skyway wheels.

Ah, memories.

Jebus, this thread is going to deteriorate very quickly with people posting pictures of horrificly ugly downhill bikes and dayglo Klein's.

I agree with most of what Drac said. I'd only add this....

I thought about the on-one, it was between that and the 5. They both are some what iconic as what Brits want from a bike at different ends of the perspective.

Checkin out the colour coded, one piece bar and stem on that Klein.

I don't know, not sure about that.

Turn you nose up at the Klein all you like! Its a million times better than that poxy Krik that was posted up and a true classic.

And as misty eyed as folks get about Raleigh Burners, its no Kuwahara or Mongoose or PK Ripper.

A true classic IMO is Tomoac's disc wheel drop bar Yeti

Mission control stem bar combo was one of the Klein signature features

I'd say it's far more iconic to the average Brit than any of those.

I'd choose:
* Penny farthing

* Chopper
[img] [/img]
* A butcher's bike:

... and then a BMX or a mountain bike, and a road bike. But not sure which models.
