Always hankered after a P7. A test ride might make me commit or desist.

Thinking of either a Cube HPT Litening or a Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod for a replacement road bike at the moment. It would be nice to try both of them first though.

I'd like to try a Ti Ragley to see if it really is worth so much more than an mmmbop.

Something with a Lefty fork.

I'd like to commission a 26" wheeled Islabikes Rothan to match my youngest lads. If I had as much fun as him I'd be happy.

More 29ers, particularily a Scandal with a carbon fork. And the new Orange 5. And a Ragley Ti. And some nice DH bikes. And a new Soul to see if it's any different to mine.

A proper racey xc carbon hardtail, to see if I would be that much quicker than on my trail freindly soul, and a time rxr just to see if it does feel better than my lowly speeder.

A really nice 29er full suss bike like a Niner WFO or RIP as I look at them and think it would be fun but am reluctant to spooge the cash on another bike that I just "like" instead of "love"

Ton, I'm with you with this...the more bikes to the better. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm refreshing most of my bikes again....sold the Uzzi VP....will either try a Nicolai AM, Nomad or another Tracer this time for hacking about on and doing the Mega again.

Keeping the 951 for DH duties & racing....however that Transition looks great!

I've also signed up for the etape Caledonia so going to buy CX / road bike for training and doing the race.

The main two I'd like to try are a Tallboy and a properly set up for me DH bike (TR450 or Carbon V-10 would be nice).

Tallboy as it is the first 29er that has actually appealed to me as an actual rideable proposition and the DH bike because I've tried a few but they've always been too softly sprung for me and hence I've never really been able get a proper impression of how the big bikes ride.

[i]runs off to google Brodie Holeshot[/i]

I'd love to take [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p66588435.html ]one of these[/url] (but without the cracks and rewelded rear end ๐Ÿ˜• ) down the Cwmcarn DH track.

I really only want one bike, thought I'd found it with the Slopestyle (until some b4st4rd tried to steal it from work and I was forced to commute on something lighter and more nippy but far less fun when I took the DH route home ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ) and now the 7 month itch has just set in ๐Ÿ˜• .

If I could be certain that the Tazer crack whore wouldn't fold on me I'd be quite happy with that and it's skanky elastomer Manitous as my only bike. Reckon this would make a nice partner though . . . I'm a whisker away from pulling the trigger ๐Ÿ˜‰
