If new, and cost no major object, then C5.
If you prefer a more 60s look, then G5.
If cost is a bigger issue, Electra X or AVL Classic.
If you are a traditionalist, and cost is an even bigger factor, try to find a low-miles Iron Barrel.
In any case, a red or green Bullet or green Military are Christmas colors!

I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever Santa brings.

I have an AVL Classic, but if I had it to do over, I'd get the Electra-X.
I ended up taking the boxes off both sides of the Classic to make room for the rear-sets- which I wouldn't have to do with the Electra.  Plus, the Electra comes with a front disk brake.  It would have been perfect for me.

For some weird reason, the UCE doesn't really attract me.  Too high tech, or something.  I'm not sure I'd know what to do with a bike I didn't have to pay some attention to now and then.
A Military re-painted with a paint brush would be kind of cool though.  Maybe use a stove vent for a muffler.

  Santa really would appreciate one of each.  G5 Army or iron barrel Army is my vote.  In no particular order.  Will.
