Just because I'm currently playing with one, how about a Batavus? Not the midline Course like I have, but one of the Batavus Professionals built with Columbus or 531 tubing? Confound everyone by setting up a Dutch bike! Probably not stock, but the paint on those things was usually quite nice, they're dramatically under-rated, and I bet our illustrious listmaster can tell us all about them ...
