The "I'm Bored" thread
 

what's your fantasy bike? with price as no limit. go kids go!

Well, I just got back from a ride on my friend's Paramount with a full DA setup. It's probably the best bike I'll ever get to ride.

So many "dream bikes". I guess a fixed gear I would want one of these: http://onechick.com/orange/index.html
w/ DA or campy components. An homage to my home town...

Mario Confente track...

Hands down...Jeff Jones. I believe his wait is is currently up to 3 years!

yeah, me too. this '61 masi is a close second though http://www.campyonly.com/retrobikes/...ial_pista.html

Waterford track, full DA or a Richard Sachs steel road bike with full campy chorus (Thats right, sometimes I rock out with gears)

soma rush,no thought!

circle a custom.

i'd probably have to try a king headset and some phil wood hubs, too, to see what all the fuss is about, but i'd stick with my velocity deep v rims.

I think I might've just realized 'my' two bikes*...
A very local Witcomb custom frame with 80's Dura Ace groupset, Araya Titaace titanium rims with Dugast silks, alloy Cinelli pista stem and bars.
and/or Condor potenza with Goldtec hubs, Rigida dp18 rims, Deda pista stem and bars, modern Campy everything else.
Sadly, I'd put a Brooks on both...

*which are both far, far, far out of my financial reach!

I'm hot for the Deda pista bars/stem. Don - you must produce photos, a preview or something, before the show. Your loyal fans demand it.

Well, thanks to Jonnycycles, I've got the frame. (http://www.jonnycycles.com/progress/Sam.html)

now I need to sell stuff to get the parts I want for it, which will cost me more than what the frame cost.

So parts I'm looking at.

Sugino Grand Mighty Cranks
Sugino Gigas ring in 48 tooth
Phil hubs in black (SLR of course)
Velocity rims in yellow (duh)
I haven't decided on a brake yet. Something HOT. And black.
If I can scrape the cash together, a matching Jonnycycles stem would be dope as FnCk.
American Classic post (probably, as I really like my current one, except it's too short)
I used to LOVE bullhorns, but now I think a RaceFace Deus Riser bar would make me happier. I wish they had more sweep
Some kinda flat-bar lever, something from the old-school mountain bike scene if I can find it. Black, of course
Tell ya the truth, I REALLY like the way those dang Whipperman Superduty chains look.
Phil BB
Vittoria yellow/black tires, just 'cuz.
Some Yellow brake housing if I can find it.
King Headset


I want it all SUPER tough, tight as hell, perfectly matching. After all, if you've got something nice, you might as well make it REALLY nice.

wow TC that is an evil looking machine. hmm... let me guess, yellow deep v's?

no one has any imagination, just a bunch of parrots spewing crap that they heard is cool.

could I REALLY do anything else?

I don't know about the rest of the components, but it would definitely have a titanium shell coaster brake hub with ceramic braking surfaces. Gear ratio somewhere in the neighborhood of 100/35.

I'd bet Jeff Jones'd make ya one. That is one cool dude.

no.

p00p to you crankypants. have a beverage of your choice and some fun!

dude, I think they're lookin' for something other than a beverage.

how about some of Lightweight's track wheels? i think less than 100 sets have ever been made.

Vintage Konno-built 3Rensho with full Superbe Pro.

Hetchins track with curly-stays like this one.

Fully custom Nagasawa, Dura Ace 7600.

simple--the nickle plated Pierce given to Frank Kramer in Salt Lake City

heres an addendum to the op: would you actually ride this dreambike?


THIS IS NOT AN IMPETUS TO A FLAMEWAR




hopefully

hehe, just trying to get a rise out of some of ya. to my surprise no one tried to online fight me. im proud of ya'll! :)
