What bikes do you want to own?

i'm surprised at some of the mass produced mediocrity lusted after in this thread.
reminds me of the city boys walking into evans and wanting that hideous 5k cannondale hanging on the wall because it's the most expensive.

why would you want a taiwanese built santa-cruz when you could have a custom de-kerf, dean. moots, baum, etc etc.
as for pinarello/de-rosa nice bikes with a lot of marketing money behind them. why settle for the mass produced mainstream when you could have a parlee, look, cyfac, zullo, baum, masi, serotta, vanilla, pegoretti etc.

Lucky I'm a city boy. Mediocrity ftw!

I would like a Serotta but custom builds don't do it for me. You lose it/break it and it'll take forever to replace. There's no bike for life. Buy a Colnago, crash it, buy next year's.

I do like Wayne's ti Seven. I'd have one of them or a Baum for some Aussie goodness.

For proper hang-on-wall shizzle that I'd never ride.. a Llewellyn.. http://www.llewellynbikes.com/thegallery/index.php

But what's the point? I treat 'em all like shit so bike porn doesn't work for me.
