An Intense Carbine SL is currently top of my virtual shopping list. I will never have one but it is nice to dream.

Not everyone's taste but I love them.

Are they actually to anyone's taste, other than yours (and a few colour-challenged continentals)? 😕

A full custom Nicolai Helius AM to tweak a couple of the things on mine which I think could be improved.

A titanium framed AM hardtail like the Kingdom Brigante

Not sold on the whole wagon wheel idea yet but I could be tempted.

there is just something about those ST4's that makes me think the linkages will break.

One of the Niner SIR.9's that Charlie has reduced at the moment.

And in an ideal world Sam would also do a nice 853 version of the Swift. 😉

Already done it - you can ride one if you like - I guarantee you will not tell the difference between it and a standard Swift.

Personally, not really lusting after anything, I have the joy of quite a full shed...

I'm quite happy with the bikes I have, but I do lust slightly for a Monarch Plus and Deville to put on my Dune.

Pretty much anything from the Look Stable.

Dogma 2 is rather nice as well

I'm with thomthumb. Considering moving so a 10-15 mile each way commute will be a bit too much on a '94 Cinder Cone which means I'll need a new bike, result!

Not sure what would be better - CX with mudguards and panniers (might be able to work some off road into the route), Cotic Road Rat, or a second hand steel framed tourer.

Mojo HD or an Enruro S-Works Carbon for me. Maybe even a Nomad Carbon.

And a TR250 too, thanks. And a Blur TRc, if you're offering.

In skinny wheel territory I like the look of the Sabbath Silk Road Alp. Amid the wash of road bikes with big logos and bright colours the understated titanium frame with subtle branding really appeals. Perhaps I am just dull?

Would love one of these:

And one of these for the Quebrantahuesos:

A fat bike would be a laugh, too. And a 120mm full sus.

I'm kinda hooked on the idea of a Ragley 10:4.... are they far off Brant?

I thought the bb height of the brigante would have raised more than 1.5mm when a fork with 20mm extra travel was fitted. Only 1.5mm?

I actually think I might*be cured of the whole bike lusting thing. I'm more than happy with my current bikes.

*For now

I test rode a Whyte 146 a couple of weeks ago whilst out with the LBS. Awesome ride, light as hell but great pointing down. I won't buy one as they are carbon and carbon frames break easier than alloy IME. And I can't afford one. But if someone were to give me one I could learn to live with the carbon 🙂

Yep that is the one. If it comes with rusty forks already I guess it will have the used look. 🙂

It's not that lusty but I really fancy a Just A Normal Mountain Bike. Anthem or Trance maybe, or a Camber.
