Dianyla- I am a paint job person. Sorry, a great bike isn't so great if the paint job isn't beautiful.

I think lust depends on what you have. I currently have a $600 Fuji with Shimano Sora. My lust is nothing compared to Ruby Pros, Vanilla Bikes, Colnagos, great Campy components, etc... For me drool worth is a $2000 Cannondale with Dura Ace or maybean Orbea Dama. Currently, I don't lust for things I won't be able to afford. I drool within my budget.
