I think I have to go with Tad on this one, that '58 Spitfire is sweet! That style of chain guard is awesome and I love the way the painted rims match the paint scheme. The middleweight bug had been creeping on me for months now...

Those are the reasons I love it too.....doesn't also help that it was a gift.  The white wheels+white painted pieces on the frame= class.  Normally I prefer chrome wheels over the white ones, but this bike has enough amount of white in the paint on the fenders/frame that it compliments itself for me.
