[Closed] bike you really want to buy next.

Check out the Swobo Scofflaw SS, - dirt lush as they say.

Too late, I'm already just about to have build day commence on something in ti flavour. 😉

Personally I would not call that pickenflick vfm as Litespeed CX frame at £950 and Van Nicholas complete builds work out cheaper if not same.
I know which I'd choose even if the OO looks alright.

Weeksy, what on earth persuaded you to get a 690 Duke.

You'll realise the mistake when the fuelling starts to cut out on you, very dangerous as you can imagine.

Thought better of you that you would get a 1290 monster all pimped up.

With all the wheel size gubbins and everything, I've kind of switched off. I've not been that interested in new bikes for ages now. However, [i]this[/i] has changed that. I really, really, really, really want one. It just looks 'right', and perfect for the kind of riding I do. In fact I've already been laying the groundwork with the comittee...

I'd like an extracycle free radical kit for my town bike.. and maybe a really nice EBB for my Soul

I'm happy to say I'm well over my bike fetish these days 🙂

I have the 390 currently (Along with an 848 evo) and would like to have the 690 as a semi-track bike as Mrs Weeksy uses the 848 mostly on track so I'd be stuck with the 390. This may all change this weekend when I take the 390 on track and if I like it I may keep using that on the short tracks...

I think the later 690's are all good though, certainly not like the older Duke3 which had the above issues you describe.

As for the 1290, nah, not for me. If I were to go down a bigger HP naked it would be a 1098SF.

I'd love to build on of these up, but it's not gonna happen any time soon 😥

So I've narrowed it down, in order of cost, to a Cotic Escapade frame (transfer bits from RoadRat), or a Stooge (Bits from Roadrat, some new bits, some spares box bis, Chronicle front), or some sort of slack 27.5+/29er HT (QuarterHorse/Solaris/Yelli maybe, taking all the parts from my Soul, adding new forks, light bicycle rims) or maybe saving for a new DH frame (Gambler possibly, run it 26 for now until new wheels and forks are in budget) or lastly a new 27.5 AM frame (Nomad, maybe, plus new wheels, use my Devilles for now)

New Giant Trinity when it's out...

And the new Scott Addict CX...

[img] [/img]

Won't happen, but I'd be happy with that pair 🙂

Banshee Spitfire

A Surly long big dummy. I won't get one, I'll get a trailer for my Kona MinUte instead, but I do want one...

Yeti Ars-c or Trek Superfly or wait til November and get Merida Ninety Six 29er.Having a recce on Saturday then put it to the finance committee who last week said I could look if she could have new boobs!!!.

Some super-light (relative to my all-steel stable) carbon-fibre road bike, like a Cervelo R3. I feel the need for speed (and higher Strava placings).

And the new Scott Addict CX...

[img] [/img]

I saw one of these at a Scott sponsored event a couple of weeks ago. It's very, very nice but at £5k a bit spendy.

Either a Carbine 29 or a Tracer 275... really need to demo both (if I can find anywhere that's got both in). The Carbine I demo'd last year was an absolute riot, but reviews say the Tracer is even better. Definitely want to pick up one of them though, Fox 36s plus a CCDB Air, 1x11... yum! 😈

When the lottery finally stumps up it will be a Funk Cycles frame in 29er version & a Jones Ti with as many bling bits as I can source plus a steel vault to keep them in.

I can't justify a new bike but if I was I would have a 29er hardtail, probably one of those santa cruz jobs, or maybe a mkII solaris...

Next bike I want doesn't quite exist yet, but I reckon it will:

Needs to be a [i]C45650[/i] - a carbon 456 (or similar), with tweener wheels, plus bigger seat and head tubes to replace my now rather [i]"old school"[/i] heavy, skinny tubed, 456-SS...

It's going to be another couple of years till I can swing it though I reckon, so there's no rush for them to actually start making it yet...

No other Road/CX/MTB itches to scratch... at the moment...

The forthcoming Evil Uprising 650b with 11 speed Zee, some Stans wheels and Race Face SixC bits please. Obviously this is in a few years, and I'll probably need a hardtail to go with it.

Cannondale F-Si
a TT bike

Barely use an MTB these days, location I live in has somewhat killed my interests as I have to drive so far to make a ride worthwhile.

However, the Pinnacle Arkose range has my eye for a new commuter, riding to work through the winter/winds with gears feels like it would appeal. Having to look after mechs, chains, cables etc doesn't!

The forthcoming Evil Uprising 650b

Alpine 160 650B jobbie would feature very highly although I'd want to test that and another Five side by side. Think I'd benefit from the extra travel / skill compensation the Alpine would give me for what I'd guess is relatively little extra weight.

Also want to "adventure bike" my Curtis S1 by adding a few gears and some fk off big tyres (well, 2.4 kind things) and going off riding to far away, desolate places like Lancashire. I may just buy a Stooge though.

After a very very long wait, it looks like Turner have a new rfx, in carbon, coming soon!

I'd like some xt 11 speed for my single speed Karate Monkey and a genesis vagabond if they ever officially announce it, simple pleasures.

I'm not allowed anything new until 2016, so the official answer is "nothing".

However I wouldn't be too sad if I found a Giant Reign in the garage.

Latest Orange Five (or just possibly the Alpine 160).

DaveyBoy - nice Five review here, if you're interested...

http://enduro-mtb.com/en/the-review-the-new-orange-high-five-rs/

Cheers wl - not read that one. Hmmm... New bike or some silly expensive van suspension come bonus time...

Same as mrbobbly...though I think I may up with the budget planetx versions of both 🙁

Quite like the santa cruz stigmata too...

Davey - no probs. It's a quality review. Sums the whole Five thing up perfectly if you ask me, as someone who already owns the 26" one.

[img] [/img]This. Well, in terms of a trail bike at least. Lot's more I'd love in all categories of bike!

Stevied, I've just ordered my 601 Werksmachine in raw 🙂

Spark 700 SL. Lush.

This:

Oh, wait a minute - I have actually just bought it, 19 hrs ago.....

😆

Just ordered my first ever n+1, well the frame anyway, a Stanton Switchback.
Once that's built and up an running I may then look to swap out bits from my Mach6 to one of those Liteville 601 frames as well.

That should cover my for fun local riding and shuttley stuff/bike park holidays.

Lets hope the wife doesn't interfere with my plans 🙂

Davey - no probs. It's a quality review. Sums the whole Five thing up perfectly if you ask me, as someone who already owns the 26" one.

Same here - one of the last 26ers but running big forks and offset bushings - its a great bike but manufacturers are telling me I need bigger wheels, a longer TT and a little tiny stem! New five seems to tick all the boxes. I know I could get a funky looking Capra for the same money but you have to be bloody fast to pull off a Capra with yellow wheels - and I'm not!

I've never owned or ridden a full suspension bike before so I'd like to try one. I fancy a Canyon Nerve or Spectral.

More realistically, I really want to build up a Cotic Soul.

+1 for the Uprising 650b. I just hope they give it more rear tyre clearance than the current 26er version oh and it'd have to be more fun to ride than my Spitty to justify a swap in the first place.

one of these when I can source one.

nothing till about half an hour ago when those bad folk at Sprockets put this on their FB page....
