People like me are resentful of rich people, that's why. Litespeed used to have a touring model I would've killed for, I still might get a custom Ti frame one of these days that can accept 26" tires like my LHT, and yes, the aforementioned Rohloff and maybe even belt drive would be part of this fantasy build.

Personally, I've never been able to see why carbon fiber replaced titanium on everybody's wishlist.
