The most desirable, lust-worthy bike if price is no object

[purpurite]

MTB: Turner Flux 4.0
Gravel: Fat Chance Chris Cross 2.0
Road: Merlin Extralight XLR

Plus whizzy ENVE wheels, lots of anodized King jewelry, top shelf components and Flite ti saddles on everything.


Oh, and I'm also buying a 1981-ish nickel Mongoose BMX with graphite Tuff Wheels to ride around the neighborhood with the cool kids.

My new Kirk is wonderful. Can’t think of anything else i’d lust after frame wise.

I built my dream bike last year. It's a Peugeot Super Competition that I lusted over as a 15 year old kid. That bike was it for me!

For a modern bike I had the 333fab built. Every time I ride it I'm can't see any other bike I'd replace it with.

I have great bikes.
My winning lottery ticket is my Soma Saga and the future time I now own. I would be gone for a couple years, existing and observing.
I would come back and start a permaculture garden and educational program.

Photos aren’t loading right now- will get them later.

Would this be for riding or staring at? That wouldn't fit me, but I'd love to have it in my office.

Whats that saying..... Imitation is the best form of flattery??? Modern version of a true classic!

Seen one in person either late 80's or early 90's in a Lake Placid bike shop...too small. Seen one a few years back, right size, and I didn't move on it.

This, but with Dura-Ace.



In real life, I'll probably just buy another Rock Lobster, though.

Fancy road bikes are nice ...except you have to ride them on the road, with cars. No thanks.

Probably an assortment of different 27.5/650Bs to go with my Potts 29er - Bingham, Strong, Kish. Another Potts but a 27.5 rigid type II

I know but too big

To throw another monkey wrench into this discussion, from a collectible standpoint, I'd want a bike that Eddy Merckx or Greg LeMond raced on for any of their big wins. For LeMond, the top choices would be the bike he used for the iconic photo with Bernard Hinault, his TT bike from the 1989 tour or a world championship winning bike. Another one that would be super awesome would be Andy Hampsten's 1988 Giro bike.

Fat City Cycles Ti Fat with Campy Record OR... I'd settle for a Slim Chance with a Mavic or SunTour Superbe Pro group
