Nuggs

redddraggon

The EPS

Billios

Massive no brainer. The Colnago.....looks brillaint with Boras....yum yum yum.

Nuggs

Sorry - my original post wasn't clear.

Those two (Roubaix and EPS) are my picks. I'm interested to hear what other people dream of owning one day...

Grimone

Yeah Colnago for me too. Bora ultra wheels and 11sp Record groupset.

robbarker

For the road:



One of these for Audax and pootling about:



One of these for something a bit different:



And one of these for the woods:

STEFANOS4784

or


...............Just for the sake of it.

But if it was my money probably this:



..........

No, no, wait, actually this:



Actually stuff it, if money were no object i'd have all of the above and about 150 others

SCR Pedro

I would have one of these Lapierre - Francaise des Jeux team bikes.



Until then, I'll just keep enjoying my Giant SCR2

Cheers

The lightest 26" wheeled Rohloff that I could find! Possibly a Tout Terrain Silk Road - with most of the fancy add-ons a mere 3 grand!

Ricardo H

I know alot of you are going to shoot it down, but its got to be a pinarello prince for me.

Billios

New Time RXR in white with a pair of Lightweights and Campag Super record.....ooooh yeh!!! Is there a better way to spend 7 grand.

Monty Dog

Frame choice would be tough - probably a custom titanium Bertoletti but no doubt about the Super Record groupset and Bora wheels.
But then again, a custom Jonny Cycles or Vanilla fixed gear with polished stainless lugwork, cut-outs and fitted out with choice parts from Campagnolo, Phil Wood and the like:

giant_man

Cyfac Gothica for me, or Serotta Ottrott. Colnago EPS and Cervelo S3 as runners-up.

ozzzyosborn206

i'd have to say prince aswell i think, with durace gears, maybe the electric ones just to try, lightweight wheels so exotic,

2tired2ride

ummm......

probally a custom Argos "made to measure" reynolds 853 frame and fork spec'ed for racing with Dura ace maybe? With some reynolds wheels?

markos1963

No problem at all, Orbea Orca frame(black/white), Sram Red group, Zip 404 wheels, Cinelli Ram Bianca Carbon bars, Bianca XL stem, Bianca Ram white carbon seatpost, Cinellli Ram LTD saddle, Cinelli Zebra bar tape. That should do nicely, in fact I'll have two, one for sundays.

aarw

Colnago, maybe the new EPS, in Saronni Red. Super Record, and couldn't imagine putting anything other than Bora's on there...although i'd like some lightweight obey's to play with too. All italain finishing kit, prob Deda or Cinelli with fresh white tape, veloeflex tubs and a flight saddle (even if it doesn't suit my a$$!).

some exotics on there would be nice. maybe ax lightness brakes.

nicensleazy

Pinarello Prince for me!

bh2008

Not sure how to post a pic properly....but dream bike would be the Passoni Mito with Lightweights and Super record....not likely since getting laid off in Jan!!

Lysander

I'll second bh2008 Passoni are simply beautiful. I'd be happy with any of their bikes.

Trek Madone 6.9 Pro, [not the red. Sram? No thanks.] and the TTLX, just because I can!!!

nick hanson

Parlee Z3 (sloping geometry)
Reynolds ouzo pro fork

Tubs to decide
Possibly Nokon cables
Finishing kit still to decide,might stick with FRM
Saddle,the usual sella italia

good choice

well, to be honest, Money wasn't a huge consideration when I did my own selfbuild this year and I ended up with the S-Works Roubaix. That said, items like "lightweight" or Lew racing wheels would have been unaffordable (although I am not sure i would put them on anyway) but generally `i put together the bike I wanted and made component choices based on what I felt offerred the best value (in terms of performance for price - I think the real high groupsets become diminishing returns at a certain point) more than anything else.



thats not to say it is immune from upgrades of course - this year it will get Record levers and mechs (but not brakes or chainset) it will also get new carbon bars of some sort - I fancy an integrated stem/bar something or other like a cinelli ram or FSA plasma or perhaps the specialized barmac wedge.

I'm also still not 100% that it would benefit more from comfier wheels such as Campag Neutron Ultras - which I considered at the time of build.

other than that I honestly have the perfect bike. It weighs bugger all is unbelieeeevably comfortable and looks the biz which is all I was asking for in a bike!

No Brainer surely!

Viner Maxima:

I've just seen this "Kalkhoff Pro Connect Pedelectric (09) | £1495 " in Review - and I guess that I'd best start saving up now. Another year or so and if I wish to keep on two wheels that will have to be the bike for me.

i can't believe people would buy a Storck compared to a custom Viner/Parlee/Serotta/Colnago but it's their money. Everytime I come across someone with one, it always seems to have a reverse gear fitted
