Never wanted anything as a teen more than I wanted RL Osborne's bike.
Closest I got was a pair of 401 Flight Cranks, but recall those alone cost a pretty penny.

The 'signature' name finally came to me. Roger DeCoster. This is exactly what I built my kit around, as described above.

It was a little heavier than the lightest frames of the time [mid-80s], but I actually liked the heft. And I REALLY like the geometry. My buddy had a GT Pro Performer, and every time I tried to get big air, it wanted to wiggle out from under me in the air, and I played heck landing it with my feet still on the pedals. The Mongoose was light enough to accelerate quickly but had enough heft to stay under me even when I was 10-15 feet off the ground. It just felt 'right' whatever I wanted to do on it. Ground stuff, air stuff, dirt stuff. Real solid and well thought out. Buddy's bike was almost exactly like this; It was OK on the ground, doing decades and endos and shit. But I hated it in the dirt or in the air.

Breakfast at Tiffany's!
Rented it back around 2000 after watching a bio of Audrey Hepburn on TV. I really enjoyed it. I loved her solo of Moon River. I'd live to see some other oldies from that time too. |

Assuming you want something that isn't a no-brainer [ie already on great movie lists], but also isn't so obscure that you have no idea what you're getting into.
Two with fond memories from childhood. The Last Dragon Big Trouble in Little China
