Bike brands in order

You need bespoke. Not common as muck stuff.

There may be hundreds of brands but there are only a handful of bike factories. The big5 in Taiwan manufacture almost all mid/high end bike frames and Shimano and SRAM make almost all components. Even if you don't like a Giant or Specialized or Trek, that cool, indie-branded bike may have been next off the production line.
Many shop-brands are just stickers on OEM frames, with the same frame seen across brands.

Stockport's finest.
I grew up by old Quinns shop on Walton Rd, Liverppol and have been "a bit" obsessed by classic old racers and tourers ever since.

I was in my parents garage the other day and I noticed a bike hanging from the ceiling. Went in and asked Pop who replied "Yeah, its a Quinns frame, apparently Campag Record or something on it, I'll get it down next time your here".

Needless to say I cant wait to get down to my parents in a few weeks time! (which you wont catch me saying often)

too broad a question but as has been said what is 'best' for someone else may bot be the best bike for you (fit, circumstance, budget etc)

If you were to give us a couple of different brands/models that you were interested in I think you'd find less generic/vague responses - no ones gonna stick their neck out and write a list of brands in order of their own personal preference ready to start a big argument!

He didnt know what Campag was short for - I fear it could go either way.

@vickster said exactly what I'd say.
Except for the bit about Condor (says the happy Enigma owner)

Have just spoke to your folks and they have agreed to adopt me, effectively giving me first dibs on the Quinn!
