[#7381928]

Following on from Harry's thread, I've realised that I've never stopped wanting 'a new bike', of course much of the time it doesn't happen.
Having in recent years built up a selection of parts and then looked out for 2nd hand frames to try out.
I can't narrow it down to 'one' bike at the mo to say yes, that's the one...!
I'll have a think though.
Anyone else?

some kind of super light carbon SS rigid fatty/650b++. Possibly with drop bars.
Don't think anyone makes it...yet.

The new Giant Glory 0 Advanced , and I think I'm gonna pull the trigger when it's released.

Probably something made in the spirit of an 'old school' XC steel hardtail but incorporating modern technology. A handbuilt DeKerf made from something like 853, with 29" wheels, current XTR group and a lightweight 120mm fork would fit the bill.

[b]EDIT:[/b] T'would appear it exists! [url= http://www.dekerf.com/Details.asp?id=1 ]link[/url]

Pretty happy with what I have tbh, wouldn't mind swapping my Voltage frame for an NS Soda though.

There's nothing specific I want, just a couple of styles of bikes I fancy, but not enough to actually buy one.

A super light 29er carbon XC FS
A DH bike
A gravel/monster cross bike

I'd have a Battlecat, but I don't have a pot to piss in and can't justify replacement so will remain an idle wish ๐Ÿ™‚ would have 1x11 XT bling wheels and bits

I really want to try something unconventional. And I'm sick of all the bollocks being peddled by mainstream brands.

(Even I would lose the hideous mudguard though)

A super light steel or ti road bike with Di2 Dura-Ace and 50mm Carbon wheels.
A proper CX bike with hydraulic disks.
Maybe a single speed road bike.
A fast winter road bike.
And maybe one of those post office bikes that are being sold

Yep, that'd do I reckon.

My DH frame is a little too small for me. So I'd like a bigger one.

And my trail bik's wheels are a size too small, apparently - so same again with bigger wheels thanks. Or maybe a Patrol Carbon, if you insist.

And an Escapade, a Stooge, a Solaris with plus wheel/tyres, and that new 5010.

Currently the 2016 Orbea Rallon, suspect Specialized will be coming out with a new model 29er Enduro with the boost rear next year.

The Cannondale Habit looks interesting, as would a medium Kinesis Sync in 650b.

I've got my dream full sus (though wouldn't be upset if someone donated some ENVE rims for it mind...) but have a total dilemma HT wise right now...

If Stanton dropped the BB height on the Sherpa by 15mm, I'd buy one tomorrow. It's just too tall for my tastes personally, but that said, it's still lower than a lot of its competition (read Cotic Solaris et al)... So an aggressive trail geometry 853 29er Steel HT designed around a 120mm fork with a sub 67deg head angle and 430mm stays would be lovely thank you very much for asking...

In theory I'd like to try a carbon 29er full sus 120-130mm frame as a first but I do also like those carbon triggers.

Does anyone make a carbon, single pivot 650b with full SLX, hope hubs and brakes and a set of serviceable, long lasting forks?

I'd have one of these. DW-Link, Turner quality and customer service, what's not too like?

I must miss my 5spot.

I want a fat bike. Not sure which make and model but I'm not getting one for at least 12 months. I need to buy a new house first.

If only orange would start using 20th century materials, eh?

I've just got mine, well 2 weeks ago a speshi camber 29er, I will admit I wanted the carbon version but budget wouldn't stretch that far for that movel but loving the new camber.

Moved from a 29er Hardtail and a 26er Camber to a hybrid of the 2, 29er 120mm travel evo geometry from last years camber 29er, its a great bike.

psycorp - Member

what's not too like?

Weird sizing, I'd need an XL - and its not that nice looking a bike in larger sizes, the neat line of top tube and seat stay disappears. No 150 Reverbs either 'cos of the seatpost size.

But still.

I know.

Instead, a Cannondale Habit will suffice.

Wish Santa Cruz would stop messing about and make a carbon Heckler, I'd buy one, of all the bikes I have I keep coming back to the simple single pivot, does everything I need it to do!

@dirtyrider I have never ridding the 5 but seen a couple of clips and few reviews of recent and I just want one haha not sure why. They seem like a good all rounder. But the 2 bike I chose where realistic price range bikes.

Gravel - SC Stigmata - saw one today looked lovely
Road - something or other

For me it would be a Nicolai Geometron too, for now though I'll most definitely be making do with my Alpine 160 26er with an angleset and offset bushes, I love it but if I had the option of a new bike the Nic would be top of the list.

Hmm,
Hankering after a Mason Definition.
Mite be a possibility next year with the sale of two bikes!
Fancy a do it all hardtail like a Kinesis Sync 29er.
Dunno if I could ditch my f/s though!
Also a fun chuckable 29er fs maybe a Pivot 429 trail?
Looking at maybe a Trance 29er as a more realistic prospect!
Max
