Ok, I have been thinking about building a bike but after putting all the numbers together their is no way I could ever afford it so I ask everyone what is your dream bike? Give all the items you would like to have frame, fork, brakes, drive train, seat, rims, tires, pedals everything the works!

Have Fun




Wow I find this very interesting. I am very surprised by the number of carbon fiber frame sets people would like to have. My choice would be an aluminum frame.

Well here is what I am thinking about!

Santa Cruz Nomad (has to be a polished frame!)
Fox TALAS RLC Fork Profile Crank

That sounds like a lot of work.... but I'll trust this build to be pretty dreamy...

I think that would do it right out of the box. CF frame, XTR, Reba World Cup, Crossmax SLR UST, Easton EC70 carbon cockpit. Yeah, that'd do it.

Oh my gosh (cracking knuckles and taking a deep breath) here we go:

I'm spending most of my time on rocky singletrack where an Epic is prob. the best steed...

Bright freakin' orange Santacruz Heckler size Lg.
DHX 5.0 Coil
Pike 454 coil
Blk King Headset
Blk I-9 wheelset
XT m772 SGS R Der.
XT 11-34 cassette
XT F Der.
XT Pods
SRAM PC971 chain
XT crankset 22/32 with E13 bash
RF Diabolus (blingbling gold BB)
CB Candies
Avid Juicy Carbons 185/160
GD Post with bar mount lever
WTB Rocket V Team saddle
Blk Thomson or Sunline AM stem
Easton EA70 Alum. OS Riser Bars
ODI / Yeti Lock-On grips
Kenda Nevegal 2.35" Stick-E's

We're looking at 30'ish lbs range with enough booty to enjoy whatever Kansas can throw at me.

You can PM me for my shipping address.

I'm going to be greedy and ask for 2

A custom 29er Nicolai nucleon tfr with 1.5 head tube upgrade and E.L.S. everything else to try and get the weight down.




A Trimble 29er set up as a road bike with powercranks, mechanical discs, campag record, deep-V CF clinchers and rigid CF forks

My Blur 4x and V10 fit that bill for me. My buddy just put together a Mojo SL which is another super sweet bike but I prefer the geometry of the 4x.

junkyard

I like what Dick's Sporting Goods has to offer.

Redline or Voodoo 29er, set up 1x9 with a bashguard-ed Race Face crank up front, SRAM X9 in the back. Thomson bits front and back, White Industries/DT/Hope hubs laced to Salsa rims. Not sure what I'd do with the fork, either a Reba or a nice rigid, stuck on there with a King headset. Big beefy tires.

I like to think that's pretty realistic for a dream bike. Hopefully I'll have something like it by the end of the summer.

Asian Sensation

Just because all my bikes are specialized... and "I am specialized (foreign accent)"

DevilsGT2

^This, plus a set of I9 wheels. I'll Push the fork and shock down the line when they need service.

Halebopp

Im not sure. heres an idea while I think about it.

Halebopp

Ok wouldn't mind one of these:

Halebopp

And last...for full suspension:

ProFail

Transition Blindside w/ X.O

CCDB Rear Shock, Fox 40 Fork




To lazy to do the rest.

Dumpstergrub@gm

Eh... I love the look of Colnago's road frames but this frame is too... too flowy and showy to look good as a MTB.

kill.cactus

What kind of frame is that? (who makes it?)

mikeE46

My sig has info.
It is Titus Racer-X for my MTB
and BMC SLC01 for My Roady.

MTB wheels are Mavic crossmax and I removed decals frot wheel and it was PIA so I didn't remove rear wheel.
But I'll remove those decal as well.

vik 

My current ride is nothing fancy, but it gets me down the trail.



Santa Cruz Blur XC or Rocky Mountain ETSX would be my goto bikes if I was going to drop some $$$ on a new bike.
