Your Dream Bike

GT_TDI_150

Ok, im not cycling long ( just about a year)and probably havent seen 1/2 the bike some here have, i dont read cucling mags so have no exposure to bike adds.

But just like every one else (i assume) i would love a specific bike, not because of spec, cost or colour, just that warm feeling when you see one ...

I'd have to start work on the mutton chops though.

i reckon so but this guy has some reputation when it comes to building bikes.

I think these are gorgeous, wooden bikes with the same performance and strenght as their metal cousins. Also made with "sustainable" environmental friendly materials and because the frame is wooden it give a much more comfortable ride. The prices are reasonable to.

I want one.

Ole Rodrigo

Moots Vamoots



The other Look 695..

Ideally I'd like a 74 but I suppose I'll settle for this early 80's one.

On a recent trip to Edinburgh I came across the Movistar Dogma with EPS.
Gorgeous in real life but £10k

I also loved my Eddy Merckx Team Issue 7 11 bike

loved the feel of it

A thing of beauty alright.

I also like ogling at the 5000 to 10000 bikes in the shops that stock them, they are things of beauty and then when you feel the weight, they are also things of amazement to.

Something in me thinks it would be a sin to pay so much for a bike for just general use or even amateur competition.

I have the same feelings towards luxury cars, even if I won the lotto I would never pay more then 30grand for a car.

There must be Calvinist blood in me.

This is just becoming another post images of beauty thread, I don't know what I'd buy, someone put 10k in my hand and lets find out....

I'd probably go for something metal with fully integrated EPS like this Firefly (which has Di2).

...but with a nice paintjob.

No paint for me, thanks. Lovely looking frame.
