Bikes: Foundry Chilkoot Ti W/Ultegra Di2, Salsa Timberjack Ti, Cinelli Mash Work RandoCross Fun Time Machine, 1x9 XT Parts Hybrid, Co-Motion Cascadia, Specialized Langster, Phil Wood Apple VeloXS Frame (w/DA 7400), R+M Supercharger2 Rohloff, Habanero Ti 26
For SS/FG: a lugged XCr or 953 stainless steel cross bike with handbuilt wheels (Phil Wood hubs laced to Velocity rims probably), Sugino Super 75 cranks and a Super Zen chainring with a EAI Gold Medal Cog and Izumi Super Toughness Chain and a White Industries ENO freewheel and probably TRP RevoX cantis. For cockpit Thomson stem and seatpost, Brooks Cambium saddle and my Zipp Vuka Alumina bars with S500 TT levers.
For a road bike, same starting point but with gears and disc brakes (similar wheels though just with a freehub). For drive train probably Shimano Dura Ace Di2 and hydraulic disc brakes (DA level of course). Carbon fork with steel steer tube (is that possible...fug-it go for it). For cockpit same deal but with Zipp Service Course SL-70 Ergo bars (I have them on my touring bike and they are super comfortable)
For MTB, I would probably go with a Thomson Elite 27.5 but with some wheel upgrades: handbuilt, more spokes and Conti Tires and XTR DI2. It seems like a really sweet bike right out of the stable so I cannot fathom doing a whole lot to it!
I also want to own two Eddy Merckx Colnagos a tour raced bike (not picky which) and the Hour Record bike. I also would love an Eddy70 and a Richard Sachs or two.
