Yeah. I second and third and fourth that comment!
I've thought of the term "dream bike" before. I like Rivendells for their looks. But, yeah. And....
Sure, there are better component groups....but I don't race.
Sure, there are hand-carved lugs and fancy paint jobs....but I want something I can park anywhere.
Sure, there are other options ... but I feel lucky and blessed to have modern and vintage bikes that get me through everything quite nicely.
