I would have to go with a custom Seven Diamas; all carbon and chock full of high end components.

Custom painted, of course.

I don't know a lot of bikes. I don't know most of what you have here. I don't have a lot of mechanical or understanding of bikes (what is best, etc).
But I drool (yes I do drool) over the Pinarello's. (had to even look up the spelling--what a loser I am!

)

Not sure I could get one to fit me (at 4' 10") so a custom one would make may heart sing!

All high end bikes are sooo good. How could we choose?

Paint scheme? love the paint scheme, design and color on Colnago for production bike. for a custom pain job I would love to have my bike painted in pearlescent white fading to parlescent red or pearlescent pastel light blue. I'm fond of sparkly paint job. Not too much just a tiny bit.

Frame material: I'm still partial to Ti frame just because... I really loved my Litespeed. And steel. I'm not really sold on carbon.

My dream bike?? Tire that is super grippy and never wearout. Chain that never falls off or snap. A shifter that is quick responsive and run forever. Self cleaning would be nice too. A bike that will maintain and clean itself.

Is it too much to ask?

Blue Triad tri bike.

S-Works Tarmac SL2 Dura-Ace

Luna Eclipse in Persimmon---oh, wait, I already have that.

Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro...oh, wait, I already have that, too.

Nope, I'm fine, thanks.

A road bike that could transform to a mountain bike at that impulsive moment when you want to cut down a path out of traffic, and that never fell over, or didn't attract trucks or squirrels, that made my butt look smaller, and told me over and over that I was beautiful.

A Yeti 575

or a Pivot Mach 4..

Heh - I'm putting my custom 'mid-life crisis' dream bike on hold for another year, but it'll be a custom Luna fast commuter bike...probably an Orbit, when I'm ready. If I didn't have to think about parking it on a bike rack or it getting stolen - it would be all Ultegra with a rockin' red/purple paint job....but I'm still working out the details in my head.

This will sit nicely next to my Terry Isis Ti that already holds a place of honor and love in my stable.

And I want one of these, too!

I do too. Luckily I don't see too many people riding them because whenever I do, I pretty much stop looking at the road because I'm ogling the bike.

My current dream bike is their 2010 dogma:

Yeah - put me down for one of these too!!!!

Thanks Ladies!! I'm drooling over some of these bikes!!

Reality did hit today, though, as I was doing a tour of some of the North Carolina universities with my daughter. If she manages to get in to Duke, it would be incredible and the school so good for her, but man, 50k a year? Ouch!! Guess my dream bike waits 5 years. But it's fun to dream!

Another one who dreams of a Calfee Bamboo....with Campy....

A Serotta Ottrott is up there, too, though I'd like a full Ti bike, so a Serotta Legend Ti with S&S couplers and a nice travel case and an unlimited supply of frequent flyer miles sounds pretty good.

And another custom steel, can't yet say what style frame, from one of the small craft builders...what's not to like?

I've got a few years to hit that mid-life crisis you're talking about...I've been meaning to start a specific next bike savings fund, this might put me over the edge!

**wannaduacentury** · 08-14-2009, 04:45 AM

Oooh, Good one. I'd probably go custom too, unless I found a really cool vintage bike to restore. Not sure which name brand or kind yet. Jenn
