For me, I can't get over my growing obsession with Oakley Radars (in green):

The awesome sevelte and purposeful coolness of the current Scott Addict Team edition:

And those weird 'alien' Catlike helmets with loadsa-vents:
It makes me want to be fit!
A house in Bourg d'Oisans, France.
Fitness, time alone and a tent in the alps.
Climbing ability. Time in the Alps.
400+ watts at threshold. Whilst weighing 65 kg.
Certainly makes me realise that a few dozen fat blokes cycling round a muddy field certainly should not be called a 'bike race'.........
.......also that fit healthy people actually don't look at all stupid wearing lycra cycling kit whilst cycling !!
😉
A hilltop château would be nice, or perhaps in a bend in a river?
The Alps
A gun so I can shoot those idiots who run alongside the riders screaming things down their ear when they're climbing a 1 in 4.
When did you begin thinking that would help them in any way whatsoever?
And a couple of those girls they have on the podium giving out the prizes. Just two for now.
but what are they screaming??
decent legs, about 10 years of my life back, and a pro contract.
oh, and those catlike helmets really ming.
A car that delivers into my hands a top of the range, perfectly maintained bike everytime I get a puncture, mechanical or just fancy a change of colour.
Garmin Edge 705 and a powertap would be nice.
Legs and Lungs like Lance.
Oakley PitBoss. Tried a pair on this weekend. Wow.
inclination to be bothered to get fit.
not fittness, thats cheating.
and a swiss chateau, with some sweeet ST out the front door (and a ski lift)
and a podium babe, a french one
and a tidy, light as death road bike
A credit card bike tour, but probably Italy rather than France cos it's way nicer.
The cateye helmet (I've tried it and it fitted perfectly, shame I had no money then), those girls (and wife away with the kid), more lungs/legs and Alps outside the garden.
a scott addict ltd road bike
EPO
Big hills, and I do fancy a catlike whisper helmet.
1 A place in the Alps
2 Enough money to live out my days.
I can't look at those helmets without expecting wasps to fly out of them.

I wanted a catlike helmet when they came out 2-3 tours ago so much i bought one! Can't imagine there are many folks mountainbiking in one but i like it. prendas.co.uk for those who are interested.
oh, and nice big hills (ITV4 said they were decending for 30mins the other night - i go on whole rides shorter than that)
Other than contador, it has made me want to take the bike and ride in the sun on some nice roads. So i'm going to go to near Bourg in Sept and do just that 🙂
Somewhere to live in Swizterland
one of them Orbeas
always make very nice looking bikes
It's made me very happy to live in France, and feel that it has , and will be, all worht it. Not quite the alps. But nearest bits are about 1 1/2 hours away.
The Torq team and either Kinesis or Orange Monkey used those CatLike helmets, guess they were one of the few brands available in orange!
I'd love a Pinarello Prince certainly. Contador's legs and Cancellaras bike handling wouldn't go a miss! Even Denis Menchov's handling skills would do to be honest!
Pies? Scotch or pork...
A looooooong rocky downhill followd by a cream tea in a quaint cafe.
🙂
I saw Evans were knocking that 2008 one out cheap.
Be interested to see how you get on with the wheels, I found them awesome on the flat, but heavy and slow on the climbs, and tyres were terrifyingly loose, the front used to blow off the rim periodically! Faceplant-tastic!
Njee that must be Menchov's secret to bike handling!
A house in one of the Cathar villages in a mountainous area. Enough money not to need to work and a large collection of bikes. The Cérvelo bikes look good too.
Want to be in Annecy. Or the Swiss Alps.
Oakley Jawbones.
French food.
And a road bike 🙂
the polka dot ladies are the best ladies 🙂
I got this brand new one from a small shop in Sweden who let it go for £2750 after some haggling, guess the 2010 stuff will be out soon so they need to make way etc. RRP over here was a staggering 7k!!!!!
First ride felt very nice, really fast compared to my old heavy ally kit, but did notice the strong side wind more on the front wheel, no drama mind. Down the South of Sweden we don't have any Col du Huge Cat a type stuff, just little bumps so they should suit quite well 😀
Thanks for the tire tips, will swap them over to my Ultremos, don't want any cheek ops just yet etc 😳
You lot should be over at

a nice chalet in the Val de Bagnes would do me fine.
