What have you done to that wall, James?

I licked it with my devil tongue......either that or a load of people have been wallriding across it!

Egg, talking of dream bikes, did you get Quickvit's Pug (p10 i think?)

it's just a standard road bike, the poor sod got confused about the difference between track end and horizontal dropout.

Edit: This is the one you said you would give away your balls for! http://www.londonfgss.com/post855138-18714.html

Said what I was thinking, this is like the creme de la creme, the top off the jersey milk, the top 2mm of a flat white. Good thread.

I'd like a proper stupidly expensive, couldn't actually lock it up safely anywhere even with three locks, 12 spokes per wheel type stupidly light road bike, maybe carbon or something. Not sure which one yet. For fast 90 mile Sunday road rides.

And I'd like a proper vintage (50s or 60s) English road bike with mud guards and yummy lugs like the Holdsworth murtle posted up for commuting on days it might rain and for riding between tea rooms and pubs in the shires at a slower pace.

I'd keep my Orrell though for daily fixed gear goodness and weaving in and out of cars.

This is the best thread for pron at the moment imo cause bike porn gets clogged up with loads of shit most of the time, here are some nice beautiful (and yes thats including the pugsley) bikes

Oliver, I've wanted a Tommasini since I walked past an absolutely immaculate one tied haphazardly to a lamp-post in Rome. I did a massive comedy doubletake back to perve over it for ages. It was so beautiful. Damn you for getting there first.

+1 but then i would have to have a whole section for mountain seeing as ive grown up riding mountain

Lets see:

• Speciliazed Bighit upgraded with the best fox DH forks and some massive 210mm Hope brakes and levers then a nice gruppo like shimano saint with 12mm rear through axle dribbles
  
• Probably some trek carbon full sus mtb with XTR everything and hayes strokers and some crazy light wheelset
  
• a toosmallforme DJ bike to crash around on with argyles and a front avid BB5 (gotta be cable for street imo i just like it)
  
  

and then probably some really tasteful cruiser bike with only a coaster brake for the moments where you dont care hitting a car at low speed :)

This is the bike I needed today

i would want a set of these:

and be taught by:

so that i can make my own bike.

I with Scott on the fatty forked space frame. Built up like this.

Suppose my collection would'nt be complete without a full sus though..

i think for an above the firepalce never to ridden but admired bike would have to be a really old bianchi roadbike. theres somthing about the old steel celeste steeds that just melts my bike geek heart. which is weird becuase im not at all excited by the newer bianchis.

oversize steel so spirit or zero replica?
i think i would rather have dario build the bike than me.
that's what i did :-)

I want a Ron Kitching Chrono Express (74 model). Anyone got one?

The wilier izoard chorus 2006 that's hiding downstairs in cycle surgery.. Just a few more months and the bastard is mine.

It has a hole above the brake bridge in the monostay at the back which actually has 'look through' written above it. class.

And fulcrum racing 3s... sigh...

In fact I might put a deposit down on it on monday, before anyone gets any ideas.. ha!

If it looks anything like this, you're welcome to it. Not feeling that at all

(although on the plus side, the Team Cofidis ones were even worse)

I only want the exercise bike that Oprah has sat on. Thats me sorted.

Naw, that's last year's model. Or possibly 07. Or maybe even '10. No 'look through' holes in evidence there though.

It's not the best bike in the world, but the price is right, fo sho . It's the only full-carbon road bike that fits into my modest budget (it's substantially discounted).

It's showing it's age mind, it has square taper chorus cranks! Thought they got phased out ages ago.

Ok, where is it? How much is it? and do you have a supernatural link to worldwide bike sales?
I forgot to say, anything less than 23" is too small.

haha, still wrong mitre tester! My picture is the right one, but wrong groupset.
