I just read the latest issue of Road Bike Action mag and I think I want a titanium bike. I've always liked the classic steel bike look and feel but after reading about Moots and Litespeed, I've changed my mind. Other than the price, is there a downside to titanium?

Anyway, what's your dream bike?

Or a custom Ti road bike. Not sure what brand.

As Ive come to realize after going thru so many bike's I have my dream bikes.:D The one's that fit properly are a dream come true.;) Im leaning towards the new Madone right now. I thought it was a Look 585, but now I have that and its not the fit Im looking for. My dream mt bike I got years ago and havent bought a new mt bike since, a Yeti 575.:p

Is that steel or CF? And where the heck are the pedals and bottle cages?

Me too.

But only if the bike comes with the rider.

My dream bike would be all Italian, Colnago or Pinarello CF with Campy Record & Campy wheels. Dura-Ace is great stuff, maybe better than Campy, but it doesn't come from the continent.

But face it, if you're going to dream, wouldn't anyone's dream bike be one that we don't have to pedal? One that can take you more than 300 miles between breakfast and lunch? Yea, if your dream bike doesn't have a motor, wake up, then go back to sleep and start dreaming again.

BTW, I also ride a BMW R1200-GS. When I want to pedal, it's an Orbea Orca.

If I could learn to handle a short wheel base bent, it would most likely be the R-84 by Lightning cycle Dynamics.

Somehow, I think this will make it up the hill faster than her other bike. :D

I used to have a dream bike, and then Trek came out with the new Madone. I'm not sure there's ever been anything sexier.
