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.
Here you go Mogrim......
Oh, they're not interested.

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.
🙂
6.9 pro, bought on Monday for a steal, fine time to update my old ride 8)

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.

urm.....
ou lot should be over atPez Cycling
Goodness there are a few BOBWFOCW in there 😆
Edited to add that that doesn't include the 2 above, my word what a large sausage she has in her hands etc etc 😈
French breakfasts, their cake shops! nice big hills for riding .. mmmm
An empty Alpine road. A top end carbon road bike. Sunshine, blue skies, no wind.
I can do without the crowds of people everywhere yelling and running alongside.
That's a big sausage...fnarr fnarr etc etc 😀

404 wheels would do.
RRP over here was a staggering 7k
I assume you mean in Sweden? RRP on that one here was £4500, the 2009 one is £5000 and the 2010 one is £5800. Still a nice bike though.
I didn't use the Bontrager tyres, I had some Michelin Pro 3s and some Hutchinsons on, they were as bad as each other.
Hmm. A huge sausage AND a ripped box between their legs. Nice!
(mr MC posting)
watching TdeF on ITV4 makes me want....? hmmmm
A bottle of Just for Men as it will bag me a desperate middle-aged bird who will sleep with me on the first date cos she thinks I might be a bit younger than her.
A russian meerkat in a dressing gown.
A bike from halfords, as it'll be the wrong size, have badly set up suspension and lock the back brake on corners.
Some margerine so that some nasty old woman will come to my house and tell me my cholesterol is 4.3. Whatever TF that means.
A water park commute home. In my pants.
Haha! Excellent. Well done. What about the new Panasonic HD digital camera so you can catch your 5 year old doing trials riding, and a bowl of Bran Flakes?
and dammit Asda have just sold out of Iron Gyms. Mrs MC will just have to put up with my skinny arse a bit longer....
I've always thought that meerkat was Spanish....
Compare the MEEERRRRRKAT dot Com .. my favourite advert of all time

what a brilliant website!
all you pitboss lovers (i've only just googled them, could someone please explain why they're £500?!) will be jealous:
BBC Sport's Phil Sheehan on Twitter: "Armstrong looks like he just tossed his Oakleys to the side of the road. What a souvenir that will be for whoever finds them!"
The ability to sit on someone's wheel and then go Bam, see ya later punk!
In addition to what I wanted earlier I'd also like to add:
the TT and downhilling ability of Cancellara.
the climbing ability of Contador
the sheer grit and mental determination of Armstrong
the sprint of Cavendish
and finally the bike handling skills of Robbie McEwen
not that I'm being demanding at all...

So you can do this after a 120 miles riding on terrain which doesn't suit you:

V cool.

Oh for all you Pit Boss lovers (I don't like them, too big for me - Which stopped me getting them) Wait for the next addition to the Elite line - Woooah!
brie an grapes
Houns is that you trying to boast that you can afford £500 sunglasses on a whim? It comes across that way!
No not at all, saved some time for them, just saying im a sad oakley collector
Oh and for the new ones the only chance i've got of buying them is if i can sell both kidneys
Car free roads. I crave their fitness but pity their weight obsession.
£5000 or something aren't they!? Slightly mental to say the least.
I don't think they suit anyone anyway, they're too big!
njee20, they're £500. I tried on a pair the other day and they were lovely, but even I can't really justify £500 on a pair of sunnies!
Yeah the pb's are £500, the next one's are going to be carbon fibre and cost thousands
i had a look at the pitboss earlier, they are [i]quite[/i] nice but not £500 nice...
I only lust after women.
A lot.
The girl on the right on the white jersey presentation. Smouldering looks.
And one of those S-Works TT bikes.
And not in that order either.
Makes me want to buy a campervan and follow the tour around. Might be more to do with not having to go to work rather than anything else though, Just quite envious of all the campers parked up en route with nothing better to do than chill out and watch the race go past.

Meet Emanuelle (left), and Laura (right). Their job is to present the “most combative” award, an honor that goes to the most aggressive rider of the day.
Laura is 23, and Emanuelle is 24. And you’ll love this… Emanuelle is studying to be a contortionist. No kidding.
Yes sorry, I meant the new ones are about £5000, but I don't think the Pit Bosses suit anyone. I just used 'they' to refer to both!
1 of 5 only ever going to be made of the new Livestrong edition all Carbon Fibre C-6 Elite
