What is the "coolest" bike brand?

[grellboy]

Just thinking, some bikes are better regarded than others. Which do you think is coolest? I suppose I am asking, in a way, which brand would you choose if money was no object?

I haven't got one, but I covet a Colnago and a Merckx.

Out of those on those listed, I'd go for Canyon personally.

They all look the same to me, I only notice blue Bianchis, it's the colour and the logo font that do it for me, cool as, I love them! But don't have one.

If I was going to be papped (that's a verb now, right?) I'd want it to be on some vintage, Italian, lightweight in steel with chromed forks and drive-side chainstay. Not too blingy, mind. Have you seen how many celeste cars, usually Fiat 500s, there are around at the moment? So I guess that counts as 'other'

What follows will be several pages of debate where everyone suggests brands they already own.

Ha ha. Maybe, but in my case I've got a boardman. I like it, but can't pretend it draws gasps of admiration!

Coolnago

Ime the coolest bikes are the less practical in a hilly area, some can't even take pannier racks
Example.

I don't think it is cool to use the word 'cool' for anything other than temperature!

If money was no object and all the brands you have listed and more were to be lined up MINUS the branding and logos etc, which bike would be the coolest?

There's something about Colnago, (maybe it's my Italian ancestry calling) but I can't afford to pay an extra grand over what I'd pay for a Trek of the same spec.
