Your Dream Bike?
If you had the chance to have any road bike, what would it be(you can pick more than one-could be from any era)?
Here's mine:
1)Bike Lemond used to win his first TDF in 86( I believe it was a Look KG65 frame)
2)Specialized Allez used in American Flyers

I may buy mine later this year. Either a BMC Impec or Team Machine with Campy Record and a particular wheelset I have in mind.....

Right now, it's probably a toss up between a Colnago C59 and a Canyon CF Ultimate SLX with Dura Ace Di2 and several sets of CF wheels. The top level Addict, SuperSix, and Tarmac also interest me quite a bit, though.

Supersix Evo ultimate?
Honestly I don't know, I didn't ride any. But it's the natural "top upgrade" as I currently ride a supersix.

Specific dream bike would be the bike my Dad salvaged in the mid '70's, stripped down, repainted the frame bright orange, meticulously rebuilt all of the pieces, and maintained for each of my older siblings and I to ride and abuse over the next 15 years. Each time it passed from one kid to the next, he would repeat the process. Lugged steel frame, down tube shifters. Don't know what happened to it but would kill to have it back.

man, tough question. a few possibilities:
1. parlee z1 custom - hard to get much better
2. time RXRS ulteam - best-looking IMHO
3. specialized s-works+mclaren venge - fastest (along with S5, but i don't like how the S5 looks)
4. the one i have now - because when i dream about riding, that's what i'm riding

Calfee Dragonfly with Electronic Super Record (I'm sure Craig has figured out a way to hide the battery inside the frame by now) or the new Red.
