Exactly how I feel about my Bob Jackson. It still makes me smile when I look at it, and even more when I ride it.
I'm in the process of building up a fully rigid SS 29er, based on a lightweight handbuilt steel frame, loads of carbon, and the gates belt drive. Should have the same smile inducing effect.
Even the utility bike makes me smile, its pretty ugly with its bulky alu cycloX frame, cheapo+misplaced MTB groupset, mudguards/panniers/child seat fixings/trailer fittings etc. etc. But it means I can spend a larger proportion of my travel time in a bike saddle :)
I dont yet own a proper road bike though, and part of me is holding back for the dream bike.
The dream bike, would be Colnago with a really over-the-top colourway.
