Am I in the minority

Quite happy with my C60 so no others for me.

Now cars, that's a different story.

Bianchi oltre xr4 (gotta be celeste green):
SR12 EPS (is this even a thing yet?)
Bora 35 or 50s

something Kirk (I'd let him help me decide on frame and JB paint)
DA 9150
DA C40s

No22 Great Divide
DA9150
Zipp 303 or 202

Ti Spectrum (Tom to help me decide frame with some really rad paint and naked Ti combo)
DA9150 or DA9100
handbuilt Al clinchers. Not sure which hub rim combo. Prolly boring old DA w/ Belgium rims

I'd add a Zanc to the list but that's already in progress...

I think a Sachs might also be cool if Richard is still available?

I'm done, perhaps a wheel change is warranted but hard to justify

Gaulzetti Pavaix. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm a sucker for lugged frames, so...
  • Pegoretti Luigino
  • Serotta CSI
  • Richard Sachs

One built as a "fast" bike, one as a "comfort" bike, and one with couplers as an urban commuter/travel bike.

Can't tell if serious but I do know that there are some civilian owners of Mig-21's and the like. If so I can only imagine that money would not be a problem

As for me it I would probably find a custom builder to make me a nice lugged steel frame, full Dura-Ace with Lightweight wheels.

I do like Moots CX bikes too.

Baum, Firefly, Indy, Mosaic, Seven, Lugged steel?!!

Well I have a Meivici, Colnago EPS, and a Moots Compact so I certainly cannot complain about crap. But! If money were no object I'd love to have a Firefly, Indy Fab, or Baum in Ti or a carbon Ti mix. A lugged steel ride from one of the premier builders in the U.S. would be great too. And that Seven 622 SLX is incredible as well. Boy, I'd have a heck of a time deciding.

A Moots trail maintenance bike of course.

It would keep my Blackborow company on the edge of the BWCA.

I like the immediate transition from one bike to full wish list but I'll stick with the OP's question. I'd go find whoever bought that 49cm Ciavete Responsorium with SR 11 and Boras and pay whatever it took to liberate it from them. Then I'd offer a Paceliner a really sweet deal on a Duende.

Since someone mentioned cars, I'd be very happy with a Carrera RS, and would echo Seinfeld's line about his:

"It's a dead guy car. I bought it from a dead guy and no one's getting it from me until I'm dead."

My wife and I have plenty of single bikes but I occasionally miss our tandem. A Calfee Dragonfly tandem set up with couplers, Di2, and disc brakes would make a nice dream bike for the two of us. It would probably price out over $18,000 This one is on sale for $16,995 but doesn't have couplers.

Let's say you win the lottery. You can:
  • Buy any bike you want
  • Equip it any way you want
  • And it can be off the shelf or custom

What's your choice?
