Your dream frame ?
 
I was looking at some Cervelo bikes at a LBS - simply beautiful.

But then LOOK has this proprietary head tube design which is in every way an improvement - it stiffer, lighter, sexier and more aerodynamic all at the same time. and it's not a tube at all.

but then the rest of the LOOK frame doesn't look as elegant or aerodynamic as Cervelo.

so if i won the lottery today ( other than getting both ) i don't know which one i would go for ?

what do you think ?

I would either get ANY moots, or a Giant TCR Advanced SL.

BarryJo 04-02-10 07:52 PM

^^^What he said about the Giant.
Or maybe a Tarmac SL3.
You don't need some boutique frame like a Look or Cervelo.

Speedvagen. decked in Sram red and chris king.

Id like a road and a cx bike please

Walter 04-02-10 08:18 PM

If we are talking lottery money I'd probably get funky and get in line at Vanilla.

Otherwise, I really like my Litespeed so maybe a custom sized Ti.

I'd get a Moots too, whichever one has a level toptube.

AndI'd get a vintage steel, something using Columbus SX.

And I'd get a big giant house with a big pool with my initials on the bottom . . . "BD".

And I'd get a big SUV and a fancy BMW.

And I'd get . . .



Sorry OP, I know you're thinking something carbon, but I don't believe in disposable bikes.

AngrySaki 04-02-10 08:47 PM

I would probably get a P4 to hold me over while I commissioned a custom time trial & touring frame.

SalsaPodio 04-02-10 08:59 PM

Custom Waterford 953 or a Lynskey Helix OS

Pegoretti Love #3 running complete campy record, with Campy low profile wheels. Mostly because I think the frame is just beautiful.

I would be jealous, but judging from the some 40 pictures he posted, he takes very good gare of it.

I stole this from someone's flicker account

Which Cervelo? I am likely going to get either a R3-SL or a S3 in the next couple of weeks but can not decide. I am leaning towards the R3-SL. If Crumpton didn't have such a long que I would get a Corsa-M.

Sweet bike, hadn't heard of Pegoretti before.

My dream frame? Actually way too many to ever be able to pick just one. Maybe a dream stable.

kleinboogie 04-02-10 09:25 PM

I have short dreams as I end up buying it quickly after.

JoshTheSkier 04-02-10 09:34 PM

Something titanium and custom.

Nothing looks better than raw Ti in my opinion.

Oh, and a calfee bamboo bike, just to have, I think those look very cool as well.

Although I have less than a thousand miles on it, I like my Extralight frame a lot.

If I have a lot of money, I will get a Spectrum custom Ti.

oilman_15106 04-02-10 09:48 PM

Amazing that in world of carbon so many replies that a steel frame is the dream frame.

Mine. Look 585 in the no longer produced tangerine color.

NEUROSPORT 04-02-10 09:53 PM

why so much hate for Carbon ? because it can snap in half and u can't bend it back into shape ? or is it something else ?

It's been my dream frame since 2007 I manned up this past winter, and bought one nos. I prefer the paint on the older SLC, to the newer bikes. Now that I've been riding it quite a bit, I couldn't be happier. I am contemplating selling the Trek again, I only want to ride the Cervelo anymore.

jwible 04-02-10 09:56 PM

Serotta, Parlee, Crumpton.

Probably fly up to Serotta get the full custom.

noooooo

I'm a big fan of the Cervelo S2, and the BMC Team Machine is quickly becoming one of my favorites as well. We'll see how Hincapie does this weekend ;)

Nachoman 04-02-10 11:04 PM

Holland custom exogrid.

Carbon Unit 04-02-10 11:09 PM

I'm very happy with my Calfee, but I would like to have another bike too. For my next bike I would like something in Ti, but I don't know which one. Most stock frames will not fit me, the head tubes are too short. Kish fabricators is at the top of my list as a potential frame builder.
