What's your dream ride?

Not very original, but...

C'dale SuperSix with Super Record and 303s

The problem is that today's "regular" bikes are so good that the difference between my dream bike and my daily rider (six13 with Chorus 10) would likely be so minimal as to make the extra $5K a waste of money.

Compared to the old days we're all riding pretty great bikes right now...

:rolleyes: Dream Bike:
Parlee Z1
Sram Red
King Headset
Thomson X2 stem/Masterpiece post (I know boring...but they work)
EC70 bars
Fizik Dual tape
Fizik Arione CX
Fulcrum Racing Zero's
Hutchinson Tubeless Fusion's
Shimano DA pedals

:) What I Ride Now:
Serotta Colorado III
Shimano Dura-Ace 9 (still working fantastic)
Sram Red cranks (had to get rid of Octalink)
King Headset
Thomson X2 stem/Elite post
EC70 bars
Fizik tape (smooth, not soft touch...yet)
Fizik Arione
Mavic Ksyrium SL's
Michelin Pro Race 2's
Shimano DA pedals

I love the current ride, but everytime I see a Parlee it calls my name. The Prince is also a sexy bike, and I wouldn't kick it out of bed either, as well as a Seven Axiom...so many choices, too hard of a decision! :eek:
