I really really really like my 2 bikes & can't honestly think of anything else I'd want.
Ain't I the lucky one? (I am open to suggestions though)

I think its important to establish if we are talking lottery win what bikes do you want or if its more like one bike of any value?

My Hemlock's not very far off what i'd spec for an ultimate build. I'd like to try it with TALAS 36s, upgrade to the newer KS seatpost with the 6 inch drop, and maybe some carbon wheels, but frankly it's already a dream spec.

So I reckon I'd have a Camber Carbon 29er dripping in light but tough parts.

Hmmm a nice ti 29er with xtr and sensible but reliable and pretty finishing kit.

Got one of those!

Happy with the main (dream bike).

I'm working towards this, getting all the bits together.

Really light Ti drop bar fatbike.

Then I won't need another bike, just different wheels.

Interesting...some want something pretty much unavailable (and therefore truly custom), others want something that's readily available.

TBH I trust mass testing more than I trust full custom. Also I don't underestimate my capacity to spec something I'll end up not liking ๐Ÿ˜‰

Still, if someone could make me a sub-6lb carbon Hemlock, that'd be good. And a titanium coil for my Uturn lyriks.

I've got a dream bike, SB66.
The build is more durable than bling, but meh. The bits that really matter are top shelf.
