Not cars, but that other form of vintage transport - the bicycle.

I've been looking for a new bike for the past month or so. My current bike is a modern hybrid 21 gear job that was good for daily commuting around London. Now I live on the borders of the countryside and only use my bike for short jaunts to antique shops and pubs I want something more fitting.

Firstly, the current top runner for Miss R's new bike - the ladies classic loop frame in green

From Cycles of Yesteryear.

My 'if only I had the money' bike is the Pashley Princess Soverign, also in green

From Pashley

And I am sure some of the folks here would rather like the Pashley Guvnor - Based on a Pashley racer from the 1930s. Also in the 'if only I had the money' category.

What bike do you have? What's on your wishlist? Do you know of any that will knock the Cycles of Yesteryear off my top list?

I've got a modern Schwinn cruiser ,which I will post a picture of, as soon as I can find the camera. Dream bike? Hmmm...

I'd love the Pashley Guv'nor that Miss R linked to but at the moment my sole means of transport is the Electra Rat Rod:
