i have to agree that the vanilla bikes look the absolute business but if i had one it'd probably be a fixed and spend it's life hanging on the livingroom wall.
For something which might arrive this year and take a lifetime of riding have a look at Lynskey Performance (look at the us site for the full range) - they were the family who originally owned litespeed and what they don't know about fabricating titanium probably isn't worth knowing. They've got a pretty extensive build programme, from house blends to full custom.

If i had pennies to spend on new bikes, they be building me something from their top drawer - i particularly like the idea of the helical tubes.
other than that the only other bike i'd part with money for at this moment is a Cat Cheetah.
