Your money no object bike....

Just a bit of fun, you've won the Euromillions, what's the bike you treat yourself to and why? Money no object...
Can't quite make my mind up between:
Cervelo RCA Project California (http://www.cervelo.com/en/bikes/project-california/rca.html) Saw one at a bike show last year and it's minimalist perfection.
or....
Storck Fascenario 0.6 with Lightweight wheels (http://www.storck-bicycle.cc/road-bikes/fascenario-06-2014) Because it looked awesome when one passed me going up Box Hill!
(Can you tell I like my bikes black...?)

Look 695, the one Confidis rides. Or purhaps just reign it in and buy a Katusha Canyon. Not that exciting but i would actually ride it, whereas a £10000 might be too nice to ride.Canyon Roadlite AL-Shamal Wheels-Centaur/Veloce Group
Canyon Ult CF SL- Spin Koppenberg-Ultegra group0 -

A Colnago C60 and/or something lovely by Saffron Frameworks.0

I wouldn't spend a lot of money on an off-the-shelf bike. If there really was no limit then I would try to find someone who could 3D print a titanium frame in one peice (rather than having to slot multiple peices together like the MTB frame that was in the news a lot recently).0

I'm quite excited by the abundance of blackberries along the canal this summer, but I won't reveal the exact spot!
I am also about to buy a burr bit for my Makita portable drill
Just saying... :roll:left the forum March 20230 -

That classic steel bike looks really weird kitted out with Dura-Ace 9000.... Is it built for the worlds tallest man!?0 -

I'd buy something like this....
One of these:
And I'd keep my bog-standard (half decent) road bike, because at the end of the day, a new bike isn't going to make me any faster or any happier. However, being able to ride my bike surrounded by awesome scenery and nature (like the French alps in summer) is what it's all about.0 -
A top end pro level road bike, with one of them hidden motors in the bottom bracket

Might not need to win as much for that 0.6 .. they've got an ex demo sale on! http://www.storck-bicycle.cc/ex-demo-bikes/road-bikes/57cm-fascenario-0-6-g2-with-super-record0 -
Buy the wiggle honda womens team and think of what to do with Laura Trott and Dani King.0

To me it would have to be a classic. The time TVT as used by Lemond. Campag C record deltas, Scott drop in bars.

There was a replica in Sigma Sport in Kingston Upon Thames too. Not sure I would ever ride it!0 -

Great call - LBS is a Baum dealer and they are things of beauty.0 -
I'd still buy it all from China. I ain't paying £1,000 for a sticker.0
