I'm partial to the color red, but geometry makes my bike-buying decisions.
My "Lust List" is topped by a Cervelo CF tri bike and a Specialized Ruby Pro.
Cha-ching!

It's interesting that "wheels" is the least voted for item... not that I would ever buy a bike for the wheels, but the first thing I always change out (as soon as I have alittle cash) are the wheels. Almost everyone I know says the best way to upgrade a bike is to buy good wheels. It can make all the difference in the world!!!!

I'm ridiculously attracted to the color of a bicycle. Show me a crappy bike in a color that I like and I'll at least do a double-take.
