...............which road/racing bike would you buy?

Which make of bike is the equivalent to the Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT4, top of the range Ferrari etc?

Would a Pinarello Dogma 60.1 Sky 473 Di2 (£8k) be in the list?

Yea its a serious piece of kit, I love the wheels on them. If I could afford to get them on their own I would.

I would have something customised by IF based on their XS model, so Titanium lugs and carbon fibre tubes:-

I'd increase the clearances, put in disc brakes and have the lugs in green with black tubing, then a custom wheelset with green hubs, etc. About £10k should cover it

I'm surprised all the carbonites haven't jumped at this;

The Factor 001 by Beru F1 Systems, seem to remember it was touted around the £25k mark.

Me? and money is no object, I'd pretty much have one of everything that's not carbon fibre

 

[rockyraccoon]

That yours?

Yes, but I only use it when I want to pop over to the shop....





.... only joking. I found it on Google.. I thought it'd be nice to see a real picture

beautiful, ins't it?

Rohloff rear hub
Schmidt SON front hub (or maybe 2 on the trike)
Schlumph BB & cranks
Magura hydraulic disc brakes
Seat TBC
Bars if diamond frame: Trekking (butterfly)

Bloke who built my bike recently put together a Merlin Cielo:

That's not his btw - but it looks like that.

I think it's best to just show that part as any more I feel will be breaking laws on decency!

Also his has Zipp wheels and full Dura Ace.

Thanks for not showing any more Jez, that bit was all I needed, new strides please

Nope, it certainly wouldn't be in mine.
