In 1886, Milanese bikemaker Bianchi introduced a model with (gasp!) same-sized front and rear wheels. Some 114 years later, the company introduced the appropriately named (and best-selling) Milano, whose retro looks continue to influence the competition. Dubbed a café racer (which explains the built-in four-cup latte holderkidding), this bike sports curvaceous fenders and a chain guard that enhance both style and durability. The saddle's also one of the most comfortable out there, meaning the Milano is easy on both your eyes and your rear.
