[Closed] Money no object, whats your dream build?

Probably a SC 5010c in £OMG spec, xx1, enve etc.

Well that's what the next bike will be 😀

Probably about 5-10 bikes until I found a couple that had gave the 'tinkle-pee-pee' or 'fizz' sensation you hear about but can't quite explain.

I would like to think it'd be something like a raw Nicolai with slightly custom geometry. But in reality would be an Orange five that has the latest and greatest spec refreshed every 6 months 😀

I bought it last week or two ago, the Commencal Meta AM29.

Although in the dream world, i'd have fitted a dropper.

I'd quite like a nice simple titanium hardtail.

Engin custom Ti with all sorts of blingy bits. And a Jones spaceframe.

I'm thinking of getting some carbon rims to complete mine....

MTB:
Cotic Soda.
120mm forks, Rock Shox for preference.
XT.
Hope Hoops.
Bel - Air Ti.
Richey foam grips.
Wellgo MG1's.
Easton carbon bar and post.
XR4 on the front, XR3 on the back.

In Fender Salmon Pink, Sea Foam Green or Daphne Blue.

I am a man of simple, yet impeccable tastes. 😀

black sheep fat bike, a wolfhound and then just extra bling for dream build niche fleet i already already have 😀

Don't really have a 'dream' MTB, if I was spending big money I'd sooner do it on a road bike, in which case I'd probably get a Trek Madone 7-Series with 9070 Di2, some nice carbon wheels and some pimpy finishing kit.

This isn't MTB specific, any build.

A road bike again here:

Colnago Di2

Don't think I have an ultimate mtb.

Pretty much this with a few changes.

[img] [/img]

Most of which I have on order

Any old thing then use the money left over to stop working and get out more.

Road: Baum with Super Record EPS and Bora wheels
Cross: Speedvagan with Di2 and a whole bunch of DA tubs with Dugast's
MTB: Gasventinove Stembek frame, WR forks, FRM wheels/finishing, XX1
Fun: That Shand on the homepage

[img] [/img]

Raw Nicolai Ion 16 650b frame with black decals
Derby carbon rims on silver Chris King hubs with black spokes
Black Bos Deville 160mm 650b fork and Bos Kirk rear shock

Enve DH bars, Syntace Megaforce II stem
Hope Headset/BB
Black X01 groupset
Hans Dampf rear, Magic Mary front, both tubeless
Hope Tech 3 Evo E4 brakes in stealth black
Black Hope grips

Not that I've given it much thought.

It's got to be N+1.. How could you just have one?

For me..
1. Salsa Beargrease Carbon with XX1 and carbon rims
2. Santa Cruz Bronsons top spec
3. That Shand bike from the front page
4. Evil Carbon DH bike
5. That super light Niner that some one on the forum has
6. Spec S-works epic 29er
7. Kingdom Brigante with xx1

x2 for an Engin

That's ok, I've had them machine one up specially. Money no object.

For MTB, this

and this

Decked out with XX1, Enve finishing kit and tubs and Dugast tyres.
For the road, probably something like this:

If you get the chance to build it go for it , it is an absolute pleasure to ride very fast and stable.
Your pricing up is pretty accurate (that part still hurts a bit).

 

Money no object?

I'd buy a boat. Ovington Phantom, CST mast, harken hardware, North 3DL sails (better buy a few, money's no object so I'll be moving somewhere sunny and they don't like UV). And spend the [s]rest[/s][i]infinate change[/i] on [s]pies and beer[/s][i]a high quality diet to maintain a competative weight in the class[/i].

Cross: Ritchey Swisscross
Road: Something steel and Italian
XC: Think I've already got it. Ritchey P-650b.
Fun 1: Cotic Rocket
Fun 2: Custom steel long travel hardtail.

Of course everything would have the latest and greatest (Campag, XX1 etc.) Yes, I have a bit of a thing for steel as well.

Considering I'm currently torn between buying a HDR 27.5, a Bronson and a Mach 6. I'd say money no object... I'd buy them all.

I would buy an off the peg Giant in the sales and spend the rest on hiring a team of sightly female mechanics* to wash and maintain it after every ride.

Surely more practical and pleasurable than any amount of 1x10, wheelsize tennis, bling and small-US-niche-name-dropping can give you?

*must be versed in bleeding avid brakes.

Ditch the forks and replace with pikes. Enve wheels and bars. xx drivetrain, xtr brakes. Lovely.

Turner Burner
Polished frame
XX1
Enve hoops on DT240's
Kashima

pretty much this

More or less what Kudos said- sworks enduro 29er, with Pikes, enves, formula brakes, xx1 drivetrain... And that's all really. Bit plebby but doesn't forget the job it's for. Or alternatively, nip down to Orange with a bag of money and buy that Strange 29er Alpine they've been taking to shows.

For proper no-object I guess I'll be going off to some carbon master builders and getting them to custom build me something based on my Hemlock, only slacker and a dab longer, then throwing glitz at it.

Actually, money no object Id start a bike company, build 4 bar bikes with a patented FFS (Functionaly the F****** Same) suspension design and let Spesh have their day in court.

Horst-link patent has expired, you will be wasting your time 😉

Cipollini Logos in Yellow Fluo for those very special days and a Soulcraft Holy Roller for fun.
