Top 5 frames you would do everything to own

1) This:

2) One of these

3) This:

Hah, thanks gaz. Think it may have been built by Cliff Shrubb, its 531 SL.

Do not get the Cannondale obsession at all.

Today's n+5 list (i.e. things I do not already own):

1. An 853 Thorn 26" tourer with all the bits for discs, rolhoff and SON wiring and all that jazz
   
2. A 953 fillet brazed Audax for gears by a decent builder like Dave Yates.
   
3. LOVE the chunky carbon Kalavinka andypancake posted. Would it be wrong to turn that into a fixieskidder?
   
4. A 50s nice-lugged flying gate track.
   
5. A really good version of the Dursley Pedersen, not really sure who made the best ones so I'd have to consult an 'expert'.
   

Oh shit, photos?

Been converted now then Mick?

Mere coincidence!

I've been lusting over that Lotus pair for as long as I can remember! They've got nothing on the Lotus 49 of course, you won't find any carbon there!

Skully's GB:

Katakura Silk NJS with Nervex:

both good calls

Mick, I really hate to have to break this to you, but the Lotus 49 is not a bike.

Cervelo RCA

Giant cyclocross

Feather frame (or any other custom job)

Cannondale supersix evo black

This Hufnagel CX.
This Landshark road.
Bridgestone XO-1

And for absolute ridiculousness...

Daccordi Pursuit

I have three 3 left:

... but with disc brakes. don't even think they do that, but what the hell... it's not like I can afford it anyway.

I like how you can choose to have a headtube on this diagram

Yes it has been posted here. I would hang it on my wall.

Look L96 but not with this paintjob. I would get the red version

^^ I figured there is no point lusting over something that is current otherwise the next years model will always better it. I would probably hang them on a wall never to be used as well.

I wouldn't mind last years model of any of those bikes (except for the mercx, that should be old)

1. Oak polo steed.
   
2. 24seven dark angle (bike I wanted as a kid)
   
3. Something Ti
   Others?
   

Apart from a Merxico replica and a Laser (OG and new Crabon version)...

This...

A Tony English NAHBS 953/Ti porn material effort (exact specs TBA)

And I wouldn't mind actually getting round one day to sorting out the Nago Oval CX I have sitting in my garage.

1) This:

It's in their shop front at the moment, maybe for sale then.

a laser hyperion:

the prototype of the laser with recessed brakes (well, full bike really):

a supercorsa leggerissima:

a firefly custom frame:

this forum gem:

I don't have a Top 5, but I'd love an Ephgrave (my local builder).
Are they still going then? Amazing lugwork on these.

Top thread by the way!

I'd do nasty, bad, dark anythings for this frame...

One day I'll save enough cash to get Ted to build me something. Not sure what, but he's def my first choice of frame builder.
