Foo - If you could have any bike what would it be

Random question. You get to add one new bike to your stable--
any kind of bike. You get to keep all of your old bikes. The new
bike costs you zero and you get to pick whatever you want but it
must be a bicycle--two wheels only. No trikes, no solid gold bikes
"cuz then I would . . ." etc. An actual bike--

Off the top of my head I think it would be a Hetchins road bike. Or maybe
a Colnago road bike--80s vintage.



back to working on this document. I will be checking for responses in an hour or so.

Sting-Ray Krate, but with heavy duty parts all over, something I would look awesome on but still be able to beat the crap out of and still oork greeat.
With redline tires

or

1984 Honda V65 Sabre, but that is a different kind of bike, and I alreaady have one, just not running right now

A Bottlerocket, or some sort of five-inch fully. Maybe a cross bike.

Nicolai Nucleon TFR......oh, wait, I have one already :D

http://www.bikemagic.com/news/images/nucleontfr_side_big.jpg

edit: I suppose if it was an extra addition at no cost it would be a Toxy ZR Rohloff recumbent - the nucleon scratched the new bike itch very well though so I'm not really looking now

A Cervelo P3 Carbon Time Trial bike. I always wanted a TT bike.

I'm not too particular, as long as it's at least similar to this:

http://homepage3.nifty.com/ClassicBicycles/mybike/TOEIRandonneur3.JPG

At this point, I'm thinking a Fuji America touring/randonneuring bike with all the braze ons for bottle cages, racks, fenders, etc. Fitted out with the fenders, racks, lights (nice led ones powered by a state of the art dyno hub). It would have to come with Nitto RNDONNR bars with Shimano 9 speed bar end shifters, a honey colored Brooks Professional saddle (with the mongo rivets), Dura Ace components, and a Dr. Deltron paint-job. :D

<edit> a Rene Herse would be acceptable too.

I'm not too particular either.....but a nice vintage ride would be nice.

@12 balloons it's around $925.00 per pound

I'd like my stolen Raleigh Technium 440 replaced.

an original MASI...made in Italy...by 'the man' in white and super record.

No trikes.

nice but...

...why that and not a lean/tilt steer trike?

http://www.zwalve.eu/d/1318-1/berg_166.jpg

a rigid SS 29er

I bet I could get Ralph Nader to start a new crusade against recumbents. :p :D

Not that I would though. Some of my best friends ride bents..

Twelve pound bike, twelve pound kickstand.

ok trikes are in.

I edit my original post. A real porteur bike with 650b wheels would be
nice--and a fork that could take the CETMA rack I've got.

^^^ Odd kick stand

It's okay, it's ti.

A custom Richard Sachs with Campy Record for me, please.

I think the C & V forum knows of my desire for a tiny Schwinn Paramount (preferably one pre-1990), but a Hetchins mixte or Rene Herse mixte would be nice too.

I'll be getting the Dr. D Raleigh mixte soon :D .

Independent Fabrication

Something custom made for my geometry with a frame made of unobtainium or like material.

That said, I can't complain about the two working bikes I have.

isn't unobtanium mined in Myanmar by enslaved
children?

I'd take an A.N.T. light roadster. I have seen an A.N.T. in person and they are incredible.

ANT bikes are pretty slick. That one
in particular is nice.

A 29" hardtail with a 150mm fork.

-Built to take abuse
-Curved seat tube to allow short chainstays
-Short wheelbase
-High BB
-Slack geo

Probably go with a Felt Virtue One, even though I'm not a total MTB guy.

Carl Strong Ti 29er SS with Fox F29 fork

So many bikes, it's very hard to choose.

Probably a Hetchins roadbike, or a M5 Shock Proof Titanium recumbent with carbon tailbox (for commuting), or a A.N.T Major Taylor, or a Moulton, or a... :D

It would of course be another track bicycle ( yeah right, like you REALLY need another dude....)

Veloforma has just the ticket..

Hands down, Santa Cruz Nomad. Sorry it is so big.

I already have the perfect bike for MEhttp://www.pacfit.com/alfana.jpg..

Fixed gear xtracycle, cause I'm tetched in the head. Maybe built up from a Surly Pugsley.

A custom Richard Sachs with Campy Record for me, please.

If you are 4 foot ten, then I have the bike for you. Super Record even.

Hard to decide...

^^ nice bikes
for bad weather--or good weather.

I like the bike (Look 555) but the paint job I'd like to change to something more like the Orca or some silkscreened sea life, lol.

My bike has RED letters, I hate red. I wanted the Ti Merlin Ultralight, but ya'll told me I was not worthy.

Eddy Merckx's crazy drilled out hour record bike

Whilst I love my current road bike, I'd feel special with a Teschner
