[Closed] which frame/bike would you buy if you won the lottery

Just one?

Jeff Jones

TBH I've never worried about budgets anyway, so another 456Ti - so I can have one built up for XC and another for heavier action.

Another Nicolai, probably an AM and then repalce my current CC with a RC 😀

One of these in orange camo.

Maybe a carbon nomad with CCDB shock and some Marzocchi 55 Ti's.

One of those pretty white and black Mojo HDs please!

Fat City Cycles Slim Chance.

Filthy beat me to it........

I agree i'd stick with Shimano Dura ace.

blimey AJ, what is that?

Are you allowed to buy a pretty bike or do they all have to be fugly? 😆

A Rocky Mountain Altitude 90CR

Bugger, all I can think of at the moment is a Remedy, just to check if I was right to get my Fuel, then maybe a Pugsley, 'cos they look cool/fun 🙂
Oh, and a Hase Pino, just because.

Ibis mojo

Vanilla for me too, and I'd get some new wheels for my Orbea Orca.

Custom built British XC hardtail in 853 with geometry to exactly match my ageing (1999) Schwinn Homegrown but with disc mounts and a better 100mm fork than what's on the HG at the minute. Built up with XT drivetrain, King headset, Hope brakes and hubs and some Mavic UST rims.

It wouldn't necessarily be my first choice for a rocky trail centre (bit twitchy) but for the South Downs and general singletrack blasting I've never ridden anything that feels as right.

One of these

to go with my new pad in the alps!

blimey AJ, what is that?

It's a Wolfhound. Not as nice as some of the others he's built.

If I came into some cash , what frame would I buy

Er I would buy Argos in Bristol and then they would make me anything I could possably want

Probably a carbon blur lt with DT carbon wheels, xtr, fox forks & a scattering of carbon & titanium exotica. Basically a sub 26lb xc/am 140mm do everything bike.

You not ordered one of those AJ?

Ibis mojo

I'd have a bike for every day of the month...

Either an ANT or try get Andy Thompson out of retirement for a 853 rohloff-able hardtail for long distance mtb touring.

this with super record. and to be honest open pros, nothing fancy.

That Desalvo sure is a beautiful steed. I would probably stick with my current full suss, but road would be a custom Ti Seven Cycles with Dura Ace and all the trinkets.

As I've already got a DeSalvo i'd have to say another one (it rocks) or a Vanilla.

An old fat chance titanium, God how I lusted after one of those back in the day, goodness only knows what one would cost now, if I could find one!
Shouldn't be too greedy though, just picked up a new Blur LT carbon frame & Team Revs tonight, my current dream bike, so wielding the spanners tomorrow.... 🙂

Fleet of Yetis, including the new 29er for race duties.

Orange R8 - with slot dropouts for SS fun. (I'd have one already if they weren't geared.)

liteville 301.

my own, made to measure LT-HT and a more XCish titanium frames. something a lot like my Alpine and Sanderson....

and the litville.

GT 1000 sport 😀

id have same as rocketdog. love that singular 🙂

some awful look frames in this thread....if thats the best money can buy, i dont want to win the lottery 🙁

I'd buy a lot of bikes. However I'd start with a new house that would have a proper place to store the bikes, then I'd go wild...

lottery win - ooh blur ltc & ellsworth truth both pimped up. A nice light hardtail dunno what, some custom ti thing similar shape to my inbred and I'd finally buy a proper downhill bike and hire a flunky to give me uplifts. (and move to somwhere with bigger hills)

But yeah lots of different bikes, mind you I'd never leave the house, with the handful of bikes I have now I can agonise for ages about which to take out, then what to wear (functional-wise don't give a toss what I look like)....too indecisive me.

I'd get someone to build me an exact copy of my dead Kona frame, but in Titanium including a nice fork, and with the bottom bracket height raised by half an inch...

Lottery win? **** push bikes!

Ducati Desmosedici RR for general lushness

A 'Guzzi Griso for everyday
[img] [/img]

And the best looking motorcycle ever made, a Vincent Black Shadow. (If I could find one, they don't come up for sale very often)

I agree with poddy, a desmodicci but it has to come with a driving licence from Monaco, or switzerland.

Probably a Blue XC Carbon, DT Swiss fork/shock, XX...

passed by a desmosedici on race exhaust recently and at the risk of heresy it sounded bloody awful, like a tractor engine seconds from detonation. Lost all the V4 character in favour of outright thrashy mechanical noise.

My old NC30 with a legal race can sounded nicer. You can keep your brash duke and I'll have the iconic

and from duke the classic aircooled

and the first of the modern classic water cooleds

MTB wise I'd have a fleet, including something like a Seven Ti hardtail, and a pimped carbon Nomad or Ibis Mojo.

Indy Fab Ti Deluxe for me I think.

A Genius Carbon and a custom Pardee. That should leave a small dent in the lattery winnings.

A Jones Paperclip, to see what all the fuss is about

A new Soda, in case the Jones ain't all that.

An Ibis HD

A Turner Dw-DHR

Plus a selection of cottages/chalets/houses in nice parts of the world and a big wedge of frequent flyer miles.

i would get cliff shrubb to build me a frame. around a 140mm fork. out of 853 tubing.

Ibis sounds good but the carbon nomad + ccdb sounds like a winner so far. along with one of the new orange 5's and a summum.

An all mountain bike, no point speculating which as I've not ridden many. Proabbly a MOJO HD or trek remedy if based on looks.

Built super pimp/light but with a CCDB, 36 float RC2

Ti 456 with pikes

I'm easy to please me - the most expensive items on my wishlist at the mo' are a pair of Five Tens and a Hope Eternity seatpost. I have all the bike I'll ever need 😛

colnago clx with super record and some not too deep profile wheels, fulcrum zeros or the like.... mmmmmm....

maybe a bob jackson frame and some tasteful carbon forks for my pub commuter

a ti hardtail frame (planetx maybe) with fox forks and 2x9

I'd get someone to build me an Evil Sovereign in titanium!

I'd have enough time to make my own

"i would get cliff shrubb to build me a frame" money and patience - Cliff doesn't build quickly.

OK, I am a wierdo!
