I really wanted one of these, just for dossing about on...

Couldn't really justify it to myself. Still fancy one....

I wanted an evil sovereign, santa cruz vpp dh bike, a ti road bike, cervelo r5. All an investment too far given they would be crashed or sold on when the next fad came along.

Curly Hetchins

Pink 224 Evo- had done a deal on one, even bought the pink stickers for the boxxers, but it never materialised 🙁 Got a blue one now but it's not the same!

GT 24" pro cruiser

Fancied a second hand bike off Hora. If only he got rid of bikes more often 🙁

Lusted after one of these in times gone by, in fact I still do.

Raleigh Burner

Santa Cruz Jackal, earlier type with the humpback top tube in shiny. Never had a jump bike as could never justify it due to my nads being normal size. Just a sweet and different looking bike.

Raleigh Super Burner (the gold one). I now have one, so all is good

always wanted a kona lava dome

but could only afford a hahanna still lovely bike sadly was nicked

I now have 2 lava domes:-)

Never mind "didn't get round to buying"- i could never afford it.

Still can't 🙁

And that San Andreas up there ^^^^

Bad, bad thread - found a San Andreas on ebay.

"step back from the laptop and put the credit card down!!"

This...

EDIT: Is that San Andreas actually a good bike? It looks nasty. 😉

Actually, unklehomered +1 on the Trek

Hated my San An, after spending a year building it up.
+1 on the Pace, also really wanted a GT Lobo, the later carbon K2/Pro Flex and I wish I'd bought the Intense M1 a friend mugged off dirt cheap.

GT 24" pro cruiser

Same here. Bought myself one in a moment of madness a few years back too. Seriously the wrong side of 30 to get the most out of it though. Oh well. It was fun! 😀

EBB Ti inbred

Had my finger over the buy it now option, all those years ago and balls it, regret it now 😉

No idea why but the idea of a bike that looks like a Zundapp really appeals.

I actually had one, it came in the box instead of my Meta AM. I got to hold it and look at it. Then I had to send it back, momentarily very confused.

[quote=unklehomered]"**** me this is heavy, hey I've got a coil shock, sweet, no wait do I mean that, maybe I'd prefer one? Bugger me that is a slack angle, oh wait hang on here just one moment..."

And with a pair fox 32s to put on the front of it... 😆

Always liked the look of these. Waaay more bike than I could do justice though.

Can link to a pic but here is a link to one.

Prob never happen 🙁

Harry Halls in manchester as a kid had the Klien range.... always made a visit to see lol 🙂

[img] [/img]

GT Lobo, oh yeah

[img] [/img]

I always wanted one of those Pace frames too.

More recently a Cotic Soda - they stopped making them just as I was getting the funds together - GRRRR!

Currently lusting after a 29er full carbon XC race rig - 'Dale flash is the favourite or a Canyon. Full carbon Turner got the pulse up too!

[img] [/img]

I rode one on a demo day - I lost my full suss cherry to it and never got around to buying one.

...dialledbikes KOBE TI...

I saw a kid ride past on a Raleigh Team Burner when I was a kid and it was like I'd just seen Jesus.

Thebeard!

Do you still want a Soda, I have one I'm willing to part with. Medium size. Need to reduce the fleet.

^^ This

Is the saddle a lot closer to the camera than the rest of the bike?

@MT

Sorry, but at 6'2" I'd need a large! Thanks for the offer though!

An original pace. Rigid forks, Bullseye cranks, Magura's please! I used to race one that belonged to a mate. Great bike

Or a Funk. They looked fantastic.

Are you sure? It's not grey. 😕

😉

I rode them a lot, BITD. Loaners from Scott Towers. Just wish I could have persuaded them to leave one with me, especially in that exact spec.

Really wanted but pockets weren't deep enough. Those tubes just looked really massive in the early 90s.

Klein Mantra, they looked ace, Orange UFO, My LBS had one in the window for ages..dammit....when I was young always wanted a Grifter, ended up with a Chopper..(no s****ing..)
