DREAM BIKES
- Thread starter SLIM
- Start date
Hmm, hard call this. One of the good things about bicycles is you can generally afford (sort of at least) those you lust after. My current top three in a 'retro' stylee would be.
1. Klein Adroit. Any colour please.
2. Eddy Merckx MX Leader in Motorola colours.
3. Pace RC100.

Hmmm, I've not looked for a while to be honest and not on e-bay. Used to work in a shop that dealt more or less soley in GT. Used to see the odd Xizang frame change hands for 300 ish quid. Be interested to see what sort of price they fetch on ebay.

I know one very small size in the team colour , I could get it for 450 euros , but it is too small . and it is a later model . Jerome Chiotti got it for my mate ( we used to be in the same club )
