    Please describe your dream bike. Everything would be nice. Fixed-gear, road, mtb, etc. Um. Colors I guess. Oh yeah, especially parts! and maybe what it would be for, racing, commuting, tricks, touring...

    Yeah, that's a gorgeous interface between stem and frame. Amazing.

    It's complicated to say what my dream bike is. That's probably true for everyone.

    Here's one:

    I'd be awfully happy with a 1990s Cannondale touring frame in metal flake dark green, Mavic Open Pros, Dura Ace hubs and gruppo running from 53:12 to 38:27, Easton carbon fork, San Marco Mantra saddle, 28mm Continental Gatorskins. Then I'd go ride for a couple of days because, in this dream, it's May and 72 degrees.

    Wow. Campy cranks and a bunch of space age George Jetson stuff
  10.  
    I actually thought those are stronglight cranks but I noticed the old skool campy looking logo... who knows?
  11.  
    A Cinelli Best of With Sram Red would be sooo soso soooo cool. Or nearly any BMC. I love BMCs. Or a Moots. I love those too. It's too hard to choose!

    Aliderkrasse, that's pretty amazing.

    to Joshua:
    I could fill books with the pics I've accumulated during the last couple o' years containing possible dream bikes... most of those bikes were never made more than twice
    here is a my favorite huffy pursuit
    Photobucket

    those are "dream bikes" to me... not something I already have
  15.  
    Oh, I've heard about that! It was made by Serotta or someone, right?
  16.  
    well it was ridden by Steve Hegg who set the 4000 meter individual pursuit world outdoor record in 1986
    It sold for only $1600 I wish I was loaded so I could collect all these famous bikes... "Dream Bikes"

    That Cinelli Laser is or was at one time owned by vintage collector Ken Denny, was it not?

    I know the one of the two they made like this is in the New York Moma and I believe Ken Denny is still the current owner. I also found this article:

    But for me the Cinelli Laser marks the high water mark of human ingenuity and our ability give beauty, fitness to purpose. That something so exquisite could win no less than 28 World Championship and Olympic Gold Medals tells us all we need to know about the what the human race is capable of at its best. In 1991, it won the Compasso d'Oro, highest italian award for industrial design, and remains the only bicycle ever to have been so awarded. It's also permanently exhibited in New York's MOMA museum of modern art.
  20.  
    I also really like Chris Boardman's Lotus but am currently working on my own Obree frame so maybe I shouldn't dream of that lotus...

    I also always loved the classic Moser designs for his hour record

    That zero bike uses like magnets or something right? to spin the wheels? anyone know how it works? it doesn't look like there's a chain either.

    no chain no spokes just rims. there are a few of these type bikes around here is another one:

    they are mainly design projects of graduate students so they are like the only ones at the time... gotta wait to see what comes

    Those spokeless wheels are a design student favorite. But they're not practical. They look great, but, um, a wheel is made mostly of spokes. What makes those wheels round?
  28.  
    they are carbon rims- super stiff they don't need spokes. all those bikes are rideable. and no most wheels are not made with spokes, only most bicycle wheels

    Do you notice how little seat post is showing? I prefer the deeper frame myself, instead of a tiny frame and a crow's nest of a saddle way up high.
  30.  
    Aliderkrasse, can you link up some info about those bikes? My understanding of the spokelessness is that it looks cool, but gives you all sorts of structural issues. Like, the second one there, the force is between that tangential area at the front of the wheel and the ground. Try holding a wheel there and press it into the ground while keeping your wrist from bending. That's a lot of leverage working against you, compared to if you're holding at the hub.

    Hey, does the second one there adjust in length? That's awesome.
  31.  
    ok gimme some time on that. I'll probably be on that later today

    Oh mannnnn. Here's my dream (and it's completely attainable)

    Frame: Alien Track
    Fork: Anything threadless
    Headset: Duh, Chris King
    Stem: Thomson X2
    Bars: Nitto B123
    Grips: Duo Van Homan
    Seatpost: Whatever, maybe a Thomson?
    Saddle: The Giant branded Velo I have now, it's perfect, and it was free
    Hubs: Profile Racing w/ a 16t cog
    Cranks: Sugino Messenger
    Chainring: That cool FSA one, in 48t
    Pedals: Fly Ruben
    Rims: Mavic Open Pros CD, 36h
    Tires: Ones that don't suck

    It's all murdered out, by the way.


    This is my rather modest dream bike. It would be perfect because it would be solid, not TOO expensive, simple, clean, and absolutely beautiful. I will own this bike some day. For now, it's the mildly modified Kilo TT......
  35.  
    Scratch that, here is my new dream, after having a convo with my mates at the LBS:

    Frame/Fork: Zipp 2001 in a gnarly color, with the track ends
    Headset: Chris King threadless
    Stem: Thomson X2 (I just think they look cool)
    Bars: Syntace Stratos TT
    Saddle: My good ol Giant branded Velo
    Cranks: Sugino 75
    Pedals: Fly Ruben
    Front Wheel: HED3
    Rear Wheel: HED3 with a fixed hub
    Tires: Schwalbe Stelvio
    Gearing: Maybe 50/16?

    This would be my trail slayer. Naturally, it would be a sacrilegious hipster machine, but it would be gorgeous and fun. Now seriously considering a build attempt.....
  36.  
    ummmm, maybe a 49mm or 51mm bianchi pista concept, painted in a gun metal grey tone or just flat black
  37.  
    .....with some high end japanese componets, im inter-RACE-ial like that!.....hahahah!

    That Huffy pursuit bike is great. It's surprising it only brought in $1600 at the 2000 Copake auction.

    Unfortunately getting a Look 496 time trial bike is a little out of the budget right now, but I'm working on it....

    This is nonsense, the first bike is a mock-up and the second is computer-generated, so they are certainly not rideable. They aren't carbon rims, they aren't anything - they are concept bikes that would never work the way they are designed.

    Just give me an old green Auburn BMX with flight cranks like the one that was stolen frome me when I was 14, and an old Ibis trials bike with a 26 front 24 rear wheel. I already have a track bike that would hold its own next to anything around, and I just want to sell it. I want something I can ride. Not a wall princess that should be in a museum.

    Never have I seen such an idiotic posting, WOW.
  51.  
    This is about what AIM said about AeroAceV03 saying what he wanted in a dream bike, I just dont get why people are so rude about things, all he is saying is what he wants in a dream bike, so come on!!

    Why is this an idiotic posing?, Really give me a good reason? If this is an idotic posting because he is simply stating what he wants in a dream bike or will get, then that means that all the postings so far are idotic, cause they are stating the same thing as this person has. So you give me a reason why it is idotic, thanks
