[Closed] Which bike would you cheat on your bike with?

Like all red-blooded MTB-ers I have developed a close relationship with my Commencal (Mrs 16 would replace 'close' with 'unnatural', but that's a different thread altogether). Still, I can't help fantasising about my dream bike, which currently is a Commencal Supreme DH V3 Atherton (drool, drool, trouser spillage, etc).

So, to business...

Last night whilst chatting to my bike Susan (thinking about it, 'unnatural' is probably right), I casually raised the subject... and, let me tell you, her reaction was decidedly frosty. "It wouldn't be like cheating," (I maintained desperately, sensing that I'd blundered into dangerous territory ). "Everyone has a fantasy ride, don't they? I mean, it's not like it's actually going to happen. I still love you, babe... it's only a fantasy..."

Judging from Susan's reply – "well, you're no Mark Cavendish yourself. Now that's a crotch I'd love to feel burning up my saddle... uuuuuuhh..." – turns out Susan has been thinking along the same lines.

I cheated on my P7 with a Heckler. It was a lovely ride but left me in pain at the end of it so it will never be a long term thing. Good fun though.

I've clearly strayed into difficult territory. My bad. Off now to bike detox...

possibly the most disturbing thing I've ever read on here. And that's saying something.

But.... If forced too, my present partner is perfect, but maybe getting a bit long in the truth. Would it be wrong to be thinking of trading her in for a younger model? Someone with all the same attributes, but just that little bit, you know, fresher

PHWOOOOAR

Pimpmaster Jazz - so that's where she's been!

I did wonder how come she sometimes smells of a chain lube I never use...

I want a Cannondale Scalpel Ultimate . I've been thinking of selling a few of my bikes to buy one.I just can live with the price of them.

I'd go weak at the knees for a Pace 104 setup with shiney bits...

I don't need one though.

My harem of bikes seem to get on quite well although I've noticed there is a bit of brake lever - saddle contact in the shed.

No point in having one bike it's like having one pair of undercrackers.

Umm.. let's see.. I fancy a track bike, and perhaps a TT bike. A DH bike would also be fun. And cargo bikes are cool too, I'd like a Kona Ute.

MTB wise I want a Kona 2+2 DL or an Abra Cadabra, not sure which.. also a nice hardtail like perhaps a 456 or a Soul.

Polygamist, me.

What binners said. A black Tracer VP II with something like:
them 160 BOS forks and Stoy rear shock
Nukeproof Generators in yellow
Hope M4s
XTR 1x10 setup with an MRP MiniG2
Reverb
Thomson stem / Haven bars
etc
etc

Or if I was wanting to be a deviant, one of those new Pace 29ers, singlespeed, rigid with the one piece bar and stem.

A full carbon Trek Elite 9.7 caught my eye this morning in my LBS (I was dropping my wife's bike in for a service) and I had to have a closer look. Beautiful lines, well equipped, not a spare ounce on it.

It would be a needy bike though, always pushing me to take her out into the hills for a bit of [i]al freesco[/i] exercise. I'm not sure I could keep up these days.

No, I'm happy with my Malt 2.

Although I do still think what might have been if I had bought a Stumpy instead...

Looking back at this thread, I realise that it does sound a little odd.

The thread is, of course, a work of fiction and the outcome of boredom.

Just to confirm, my Commie isn't called Susan and she (it - dammit!) doesn't speak.

I guess when you ride a Commencal it's only a matter of time before the cracks start to appear...

My old Pashley 26MHz was called Ethel. But I didn't talk to it.

Pretty much any of decent standing, and I'd love it.

Pretty much any one. I would have to wear "protection" though.
