Inspired by the bespoked show piccies, what bike would you make for yourself. If you woke up and found you had all the kit and more importantly the skills.
And the money of course.

Me? I'd love to make a nicolai alike single pivot orange 5, handmade heckler type thing. Billet machined bb shell and headstock. And then make the cranks, stem, hubs, brakes, pedals and so on.

Maybe one day, hey.

A titanium version of my 2010 P7 would be lovely.

I would prefer it though if Orange would make it for me -
My welding was very poor in apprentice training! ๐Ÿ˜€

Materials a etc not being a problem I'd have a sort of Klein/Pace hybrid; thin walled fat tubed alu with smoothed welds, internal everything and a nice paintjob but take the 'integration' further with seatpost, and a Pace style stem/headset/fork arrangement but with a wide/low rise barred Klein 'MC' integrated bar. Kind of all smoothed, flowing look to the whole thing. like a faired in 50s racing Jag, if you see what I mean?
