[Closed] Bikes you really wanted but never owned.

So have you ever lusted after a bike (that you could afford) but you never got around buying. In 1999 I really wanted a Santa Cruz Chameleon but as I didn't have the knowledge (or the tools) on how to build a bike, i never got around to buying the frame. About a year later I bought an Orange Evo2 and the Chameloen was consigned to the back of my mind. Although I occasional wonder what it would have been like? I also really wanted a Kuwahara E.T. in 1982 and I used to stare at the one my LBS had in the window. A few months later my parents bought me a Burner and the Kuwahara was forgotten.

Fat Chance Team Comp, read a test against a Pace and it sounded a more fun bike. Many years later, and with a different viewpoint, I ended up with an F4 Pace-every bit as good as the review said it was. Never got the Fat Chance, but had an F7 in red, and an F8 in silver which is now sat in the workshop with a small split in the upper headtube, one day i'll get it to the nice man with the tig welder, possibly.
