Most Lust Worthy Bike in the Pro Peleton

This gets my vote:

Christian Vande Velde's R5ca from the US Pro Challenge.

Love the 3T Garmin integrated stem, Might swap the wheels out though for something lighter.

Love the colour scheme on Matt Brammeier's Tarmac..But would look better on the R5ca

Would take Matt's Wheels with Beyond black decals. Keep the paint as is (weighs less) and love stealth.

If you're that worried about weight change the frame from a Venge to a Tarmac.

Tim Duggan's 'Dale looks pretty cool...

Also quite like the Sky 'Rellos, in particular the yellow stripped one Wiggins used during the TdF this year.

But think my fav (from this year) is Hesjedal's R5ca! Think I might have to change the stem though....

Any of the team BMCs current bikes.

+1 For Hesjedal's R5ca! Literally my dream spec shoved onto one bike... Wouldn't run the stem on the bearings like he does though!
:P

Frank the tank

AG2R's Kuotas.

But I'm extemely biased.

napoleond

Either a C59 on Hyperons or this Cipo with Di2 and LWs used by Farnese Vini-

SpermWizard3000

The Cipo would have to be black though! Having said that a high vis jacket would go with beautifully

Nice. All of 'em.
True story: me and Mrs BBGeek cycled from Calais to Rotterdam to see the start of the TdF2010. On the approach to Rotterdam we were routed along cycle paths through allotments, tower blocks etc. We stopped for a pee break, and as I was weeing into a hedge I heard some noise behind me. I turned round to see the Liquigas team disappearing. Mrs BBGeek says "Did you see that?" Me: "No, I was having a slash...what?"
I still can't believe they went for a little ride along a bike path, but I guess that's Holland for you.
And yes, I would kill for a Liquigas Cannondale.

The Bianchi Oltre as used by Vacansoleil-DCM is very nice...

I have a thing for Giants too.. but the TCR isn't that sexy... but I am hoping the new aero frame coming along next year will be nicer.

ShutUpLegs

Some nice cannondales, cipollinis and colnagos there...this one needs some more logo's I think

You're right - there's a completely wasted space on the top tube.

In the TdF there was a breakaway of Look, Time and Colnago. The only bikes in the TdF that I wanted! I felt they were talking to me! 8)

Just about the only time I would have worn the full race kit on the race rep bike.

Its out of shot John, How do you know there is one, I think shes giving Yossie a croggy and he's sat on the post.

Would be enough to turn me into a neurotic!

Clearly the Bianchi Oltre.



Although the Dogma's not 'arf bad neither... silly wiggly forks notwithstanding.

I still love the Rabobank Giants with the clearcoat, as opposed to the garish orangey-white-blue ones.
