What is your dream bike?
I just got myself a new bike; after a hard and practical assessment of my skills, fitness level, budget and ambitions, I got myself a Trek Navigator 100. I'm happy with it, but I still think sort of wistfully of the articles that I read in cycling magazines, about the Tour de France, or hard core mountainbiking or some of the custom bike builders. As I get fit I can upgrade, I know, though I don't know where my ambitions will lead me.
But what is your dream bike? In a perfect world, what would you have?
One thing that made me think of it was a Bianchi on ebay - a minimalist bike - but very lovely, I thought.

I'll own my dream bike after I win the lottery -- a Litespeed Vortex. 
Until then, I'm riding a close second to it -- my Litespeed Tuscany.

Hmm, dream bike would have to be a mid-'80s Trek 770 crit bike. Steep 74/75 degree angles and a 37.5" wheelbase! The thing steers telepathically!

Sooooooooooooooooo many options. I was fantasizing about this last night (much to my wife's dismay).
