You should thank whomever you pray to (Jesus, Jehova, Allah, etc.) that it gave you enough vision to make the right choice!

I'm in the queue for a Richard Sachs Signature road bike (as of today I'm probably about halfway through the wait), so that'll be my dream bike when it arrives. I suspect I'll go with a fairly typical e-Richie build: Campy Super Record 11, Oval Concepts stem, bars, & seatpost, 28-spoke DT Swiss clinchers handbuilt by Joe Young, and a fizik Aliante Kium saddle.
But...
If perchance a winning lottery ticket happens to make its way into my hand -- and after I buy a big house with a big garage so my wife doesn't keep complaining that we have no room for our bikes -- I'm pretty sure my other dream bike would be either a Crumpton SL or a Parlee Z2 with Shimano Di2, Lightweight Obermeyers, a Cannondale Hollowgram SL SI crankset, fizik Aliante Carbon saddle...(hmm, I guess my dreams don't get detailed enough to spec the bars, stem, or seatpost on this one!)

Just come back from the Tour Down Under and saw this Focus Izalco Ultimate.
It weighs in at 4.98kg (11lbs - without pedals). Cost - Au$12,999.00.
https://www.focus-bikes.com/int/en/bi...ltimate-3.html
The only thing that I would change is the red highlights on the seatpost and try to get rid of the red on the wheels.
If Shimano Di2 componentry is lighter that SRAM red, then I'd also change this as well.
It is amazingly light! Can lift it above my head and hold it balanced between my fore/middle fingers on one hand.
