I started with monument torch,
It was alright. Bit of a blunt tool as others have suggested. Still managed to use it for a fair bit of jewellery making as well as bike stuff.
It started leaking and stuff though so I recently bought an adjustable Go System swivel one like this,
Definitely seems like an improvement. The swivel thing is handy too, means you can clamp a workpiece in the vice etc and sit the torch on the bench and aim it at the piece so can leave it sitting putting heat in. That was always difficult to do with the upward pointing monument one.

I've always loved the idea of being able to add little braze ons here and there. I've picked up a ratty gazelle that I'd like to use as my winter bike, it doesn't have mudguard eyes and p-clips are ugly.
I'm going down a similar route as @russmeyer did with his All City.
I'm going to buy a mapp torch - what difference is there between a £20 torch and a £80 torch? Any and all recommendations welcome!
