Like the feature on the home page...

What bike did you really hope you were getting as a kid, and what would you really want this Xmas, if you were dreaming like a kid again!

Really wanted one of these when I went to sShokwave in Nottingham - we used to travel for an hour or more just to go to that show and drool!

I also always wanted a Cannondale, still do, they still have that "special" vibe for me - I really wanted a BOTE. Aproper one like this one, not one of those horrible new ones...

[img] [/img]

Nowadays?

I'd like one of these... well anything from Mr Feather - ta thanks!!

I was a bit older than being a kid when I first wanted one of these, but I'd still love to find one in my stocking.

But my first ever case of bike envy was when a mate got one of these.

The only bikes I've ever had for Christmas I knew I was getting, but I couldn't use them until Christmas Day. So, I just used to sit in the garage, looking at them...

First of all there was this:

Then, via a couple of second handers in between, there was this:

If I was after one this Christmas, it would be something like the Ritchey Road Logic but more touringey

Wanted a Mongoose California as a kid.

This Christmas I'd like a fancy 29er. I think I'm gonna buy a Solaris next April though.
