Bikes you want (or wanted) but never got round to buying?

are there any, or have you always bought just what you wanted.

santa cruz v10

Loads as a teenager!

Klien
Fat Chance
San Andrias
Just about anything in the old Freewheel catalogue
Those Tioga disk back wheels

A few now,
Just about anything by Ritchey

I really wanted one of these, just for dossing about on…

Couldn’t really justify it to myself. Still fancy one….

I wanted an evil sovereign, santa cruz vpp dh bike, a ti road bike, cervelo r5. All an investment too far given they would be crashed or sold on when the next fad came along.

Curly Hetchins

Pink 224 Evo- had done a deal on one, even bought the pink stickers for the boxxers, but it never materialised 🙁 Got a blue one now but it’s not the same!

GT 24″ pro cruiser

Fancied a second hand bike off Hora. If only he got rid of bikes more often 🙁

Lusted after one of these in times gone by, in fact I still do.

Raleigh Burner

Santa Cruz Jackal, earlier type with the humpback top tube in shiny. Never had a jump bike as could never justify it due to my nads being normal size. Just a sweet and different looking bike.

Raleigh Super Burner (the gold one). I now have one, so all is good

always wanted a kona lava dome

but could only afford a hahanna still lovely bike sadly was nicked

I now have 2 lava domes:-)

Never mind “didn’t get round to buying”- i could never afford it.

Still can’t 🙁

And that San Andreas up there ^^^^

Bad, bad thread – found a San Andreas on ebay.

“step back from the laptop and put the credit card down!!”

This…

EDIT: Is that San Andreas actually a good bike? It looks nasty. 😉

Actually, unklehomered +1 on the Trek

Hated my San An, after spending a year building it up.
+1 on the Pace, also really wanted a GT Lobo, the later carbon K2/Pro Flex and I wish I’d bought the Intense M1 a friend mugged off dirt cheap.

GT 24″ pro cruiser

Same here. Bought myself one in a moment of madness a few years back too. Seriously the wrong side of 30 to get the most out of it though. Oh well. It was fun! 😀

EBB Ti inbred

Had my finger over the buy it now option, all those years ago and balls it, regret it now 😉

No idea why but the idea of a bike that looks like a Zundapp really appeals.

I actually had one, it came in the box instead of my Meta AM. I got to hold it and look at it. Then I had to send it back, momentarily very confused.

And with a pair fox 32s to put on the front of it… 😆

Always liked the look of these. Waaay more bike than I could do justice though.

Can link to a pic but here is a link to one.

Prob never happen 🙁

Harry Halls in manchester as a kid had the Klien range…. always made a visit to see lol 🙂

GT Lobo, oh yeah

I always wanted one of those Pace frames too.

More recently a Cotic Soda – they stopped making them just as I was getting the funds together – GRRRR!

Currently lusting after a 29er full carbon XC race rig – ‘Dale flash is the favourite or a Canyon. Full carbon Turner got the pulse up too!

I rode one on a demo day – I lost my full suss cherry to it and never got around to buying one.

…dialledbikes KOBE TI…

I saw a kid ride past on a Raleigh Team Burner when I was a kid and it was like I’d just seen Jesus.

Thebeard!

Do you still want a Soda, I have one I’m willing to part with. Medium size. Need to reduce the fleet.

^^ This

Is the saddle a lot closer to the camera than the rest of the bike?

@MT

Sorry, but at 6’2″ I’d need a large! Thanks for the offer though!

An original pace. Rigid forks, Bullseye cranks, Magura’s please! I used to race one that belonged to a mate. Great bike

Or a Funk. They looked fantastic.

*Droooooool*
