Some sort of time trial bike. Then an audax, fast tourer.

It's hard narrowing it down to one bike isn't it 🙂

Just sold three of mine and I'm getting a Travers Rudy Fat.

I'd really like a Salsa Deadwood though....

It has to be the Rocket! It just looks so much fun. Especially in these recent pics that have been popping up on FB. Clean and mean

When I bought my Niner, I got a bike I always wanted & have always maintained I wouldn't swap it for anything. It's been in many guises, but latest + size wheelset has found it's niche.
I said swap though, didn't say I wouldn't add to the collection.

I bought a Five this year, cos I've always wanted one. I must admit, given the single pivot /.filing cabinet construction, it can hold it's own with all the latest plastic multi hinge machines.

Anyhow, about adding to the stable, always wanted a Fargo.
The older beige one.
Lovely.

I'd also love to commission a frame from Oddity Cycles.
They are lovely.

Really fancy a big travel plaything to join the Switchback and Mach6, never owned a DH bike before so that itch needs to be scratched.

I'd quite like a 29" HT for taking the more scenic route to work, as I hate my commute.

I'd also like a new 5010, but it would end up being a mega build to make it light enough to justify over my Reign & after a summer in Canada the bike funds are a little low for spanking on new toys 🙂

A light xc fs that feels like a HT but has the added comfort of a fs

Actually I'd quite like a new lighter road bike with discs. Mine feels a bit old and tired now but I can't really afford to buy a new one. Realistically I probably just need to replace the bar tape, seized brakes and cables and it'll feel new again but that's not the same!

I have an unhealthy desire for one of these, if I can get my head around tha weight issue, I should at least explore the possibility shouldn't I.. Should I ?

would love a light weight carbon or titanium 29" hard tail, but no funds and no room in the garage 😥

I've been looking at a new road bike for about a year now.

Quite fancy a Ultegra Di2 with discs. Not overly bothered about frame material.

Short list currently comprises
Cannondale Synapse (as per relliott6879's post)
Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0
Mason Definition

Given that I don't 'do' mainstream brands - looks like the Mason.

I now need to convince myself that the £3.5k is best spent on a new bike rather than new garage doors...

ATM it would be a Ti Stooge. But that's not going the happen unless I win the lottery. It might be possible to do a steel Stooge if I can make the numbers work, but that would involve selling my Sanderson, and unfortunately that's a keeper.

I'd also like a Cotic Escapade to replace my Kona, but that's unlikely as well. The Boss has put her foot down about my bike buying addiction and no amount of "but all of the parts on the Kona fit" is making any difference.

Question for all the married men with a N+1 problem. What's it like to have a wife who lets you buy bikes?

From what I've heard, life involves lots of lies, misdirection and slight of hand.

Always fancied the Intense road bike. Guess it's old hat now.

I wasn't in the market at all really (apart from the Salsa Cutthroat, but I've got fed up of the way Salsa distribution works in the UK).

However I like bikes I own to be different from each other so a fully rigid carbon hard tail has just walked through the door in the guise of the Intense Hard Eddie.

Last of the production run - so a good deal pushed me over the edge.

The Czar and Flux are going nowhere though.

If I had the money, an SB66C, or Carbon Nomad and maybe build up a Shan to my own spec

As it is, I've no real reason to change this. 170mm up front, 150mm out back, long wheelbase/tt, 66 degree head angle, 35mm stem, carbon, just shy of 30lbs, dropper etc. If I stuck 1x11 on it and got rid of the big stack under the stem/high rise bars (All these are my preferences though), you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from the current crop. The tiny wheels might give it away I suppose. It's 7 years since I built it up

Having demo'ed one at Bristol Oktoberfest at the weekend - the Surly Wednesday

Out of 6 laps, I managed to have my second fastest and obviously most fun lap on it. The other laps were on my 29er hardtail. How is that possible?

I#m currently playing with the Pinarello My Way website and some of the filth I have created on there has got my wallet twitching. I just can't decide betweek these 2:

Edit, nope, that's not working at all. Err, think of a black Dogma F8 with pink highlights or a burnt orange one with white highlights.

Still jonesing for a Rocket
I like them also but from your pic, it looks like steering may be an issue? I mean why else would that rider ignore a perfectly good trail like that?

Depends what thread on here I'm reading! Everything from a Big Dummy cargo bike to a Giant Trinity time trial bike. It's a long list 😳
