What is your dream bike?

Ok, so take money out of the picture. Close your eyes...what ride would look so good on you?
For me, a Mango Orange Fujin SL II lowracer. Ohhh, I would look good on that!
So what bike would be the bike of all bikes for you?

I have my dream bike.
She's a custom Independent Fabrication Ti Crown Jewel with Sterling silver headbadge, Campy Record drivetrain, hand-build mavic wheels with pink King hubs & headset, Speedplay Zero pedals & Specialized Jett saddle. Love it love it love it!

Oh Carrie - it has been a long, grueling (and expensive) process! The drivetrain was a wedding present to me from DH.

Surly Big Dummy. Custom paint, most of the same accoutrements that are on my Surly Cross Check, and the "family van" Xtracycle package.
Maybe even a Stoke Monkey.
I already have 3 of my dream bikes, but I got lotsa dreams....

I dream mostly about being able to make time and having good weather to spend on the bike(s) that I have, which I'm happy with at the moment.

I'd have lots of gorgeous dream bikes, but since I know most of them would have geometry that wouldn't be comfortable for me personally. they'd be dreamy to look at, but wouldn't be so comfy for me in the long run...
well then I'd have to say i already HAVE my dream bike:
My custom steel Luna, because it's gorgeous and it fits me so perfectly and feels so good to ride.

I also ride my dream bike - a custom Ti/carbon Seven ID8 road bike. Fits like a glove. Rides like it's on rails. Fast off the dime and comfortable on long century rides.
That said...I'm married, I'm not dead. I still carry thoughts of an ultimate commuter bike, a 'cross bike, and a TT bike (so the world can fall over laughing when I put in the slowest time at every time trial!
).

Itself - Oh, my. I'm in love. You could get a speeding ticket sitting at a stop light on that bike. (wipes drool off keyboard)

MomOnBike,
The Fujin is a sweeeet bike. Here is my current ride:
The Bachetta Aero 24 is a great ride, very stable, and is titanium. I got so lucky with this bike as it is no longer in production.
But oh, I do lust for the Fujin...
