dont get me wrong, technically its a performance driven, superior, example of what racing bikes should be, plenty worthy of "dream bike status" just the brown and orange make me wanna puke, crap my pants, and gouge my eyes out, all at the same time.

I ride a Windsor Fens. What more could a cyclist want?
It's not even a flagship frame, but I think the Kuota Kebel is my favorite. Realistically, I'd probably outfit it with Shimano Ultegra and something like Reynolds Strike or Assault wheels. Who the hell knows. That assembly would far exceed my capabilities as a rider.

It's going to be a decade or two before I save up enough to buy it, so I don't really know what will be out there on the market by then.
Unobtanium frame that weighs 1.5 lb?
Campy Record 14 speed?
Hubless wheels?
A saddle that makes your ass levitate?

2010 or 2011 (whichever they have instock in my size) Fuji SST 1.0 frame
Full SRAM Red group
Ritchey Logic WCS Carbon Evolution bars (just got off eBay)
Ritchey Logic WCS stem
I'll be lacing my own wheels, probably DT 240 hubs and haven't settled on rims.
Eventually it'll probably have SRAM S40 or S60 wheels.

Mine is in the works and will hopefully be completed next week.
2010 Orbea Orca (black and red)
Full SRAM Red
Orbea Carbon Setapost
Orbea Alloy Stem and Bars (white Fizik bar tape)
Fizik Arione Saddle (white with red down middle)
Wheels?
No clue how much it'll weigh, but I'm tall so it's a 60, which means it won't be super light.

It's slowly coming together. I just grabbed a SRAM S40 front wheel off ebay cheaper than I could've gotten from my supplier. Now I need to decide if I stick with an S40 rear wheel or go a hair deeper with an S60. Also heavier and probably won't be much of an earo benefit. Ok, I'll stick with the S40. Sorry, just pretty excited about this one.

Cervelo R5 with Zipp 202's. This will be my build next fall when the frames are easier to get a deal on. The rest of the build is still in the works but it will be in the 12 LBS range and ridable.

I don't know enough about bikes to dream about them. I like the one I have though. I would like to build my own one day just for the fun of building it though. Taking the time to research components isn't my cup of tea though

Can't get that next bike out of your head?
Spend some time showing us what it's going to be like!
I'll go first:
I am going to buy the frameset and transfer my current components, buying the rest as I go(not cheap!).
Specialized Roubaix SL3 2011:
Neuvation 50mm Carbon Wheelset:
Sram RED Gruppo:
FSA K-Force Carbon Saddle:
FSA K-Force Carbon Stem:
FSA K-Wing Compact Carbon Handlebars:
Your turn.

It's kind of confusing really.

But I wouldn't be worthy of such a setup. I would have to work out constantly this winter including getting some plastic surgery done so my sad body wouldn't take away from the beauty of such a bike.

My custom rando from Terraferma should be done soon. It's 650b with Dyad rims and XTR hubs and Grand Bois Hetre tires (real size 40c).
The drivetrain is ultegra, the handlebars Nitto Rando, the saddlebag Carradice Barley. The rear der is XT with a 34T bailout.
I am hoping the paint 'works'. I ordered Liquid Crystal Copper Penny.
If nothing else, it will be different.
