I'm pretty sure that Serotta can (and do) make custom bikes for any size person.

Some sort of Calfee I expect, Campy SuperRecord, handbuilt wheels to my specs, etc. And I"ll have some left over.

Seven Axiom SL Dura Ace.
I've always wanted to try one out. Plus, there'd be a little change left over that I could put towards a bangin' cross bike.

a Hecthens with curly stays repainted dark purple with gold decals, chromed lugs and stays. and a Campagnolo 50th groupo
perhaps this would do in place of the Hetchins https://www.llewellynbikes.com/thegallery/album03/abc

Giant TCR Advanced SL 1 with SRAM red. $6200. That leaves $3800 for a Giant Anthem X2 with Fox fork/shock, and an XT drivetrain. $2850. That leaves me somewhere around 800 after tax for random other bike schwag.

I'm under the belief that if I was worthy of riding a $10K bike, someone would pay me to do so.
Anyway...I guess I could get three of these and a nicely stocked first-aid kit.

Seriously now, I'd fly to Colorado, take the Yamaguchi frame building course, build myself a GT Pulse style triple-triangle steel aero road frame, then take it back to Joe Bell for paint, then put on SRAM Red and hand-built wheels. The $10k would cover the course costs, air fare, hotel, paint, etc. and leave me with an awesome bike. I'd donate the rest ($4-5k) to Toys for Tots.
