that or one that made your spine tingle and just think to yourself "wow that is just stunning." for myself the perfect bike is the higgins only because of the way it looks and rides. it is really hard to build something that looks amazing and different but also rides well. all the bikes i have done since that bike have been trying to beat it and none have yet. some may have looked better but it is always hard to make the ride as perfect. and this is open to original bikes too i remember the first time i saw an elgin bluebird and it stoped me dead in my tracks and made my hair stand.
