TOP OF THE POPS.........Retrobike style.

M-Power you made me think, what bikes are on my need to try/ride/own/buy list....

So I ask YOU,

What 10 Bikes Would YOU want in your collection right Now.....!!!!

From house hold names to Exotic Erotica.....??? (pictures keep threads Lively... )

10 from me, for allsorts of reasons, never had, had but gone, was really good, was bad but cool, never seen on in the flesh, broke the last one, didn't build it right bitd, couldn't afford it then, never had the space, pipped to the Post.

In no Particular order....

10....Saracen Fillet brazed with U brakes, in black.
9......BigFoot Estay. In original finish.
8......Bontrager OR. Late model.
7......Mountian Goat Whiskey Town racer with matching Rockshox in Green with Splatter..
6.....Salsa Ala Carte Jelly bean with Rock Shox.
5......Klein Attitude..White Green Pink.
4......Pace RC 100....not a 10 year project, but complete and ready to ride.
3......Orange Formula.....Late Model in Black.
2......Cunningham "who gives a shit what model" just complete, in my size and lovely.
1......Mantis Valkyrie......

That is a pretty good list. There are quite a few on there that would be on mine, but there are a couple I would change, so.....

10....Saracen Fillet brazed with double U brakes.
9......Merlin Elevator.
8......Bontrager OR. Late model.
7......1987 Potts a-la Mombat collection.
6......Breezer Lightning 1998, D-Fusion tubes
5......Klein Attitude..White Green Pink.
4......Breezer series 1.
3......Mountain Cycles San Andreas about 96-7.
2......Cunningham "who gives a shit what model" just complete, in my size and lovely.
1......Cleland Aventura












I do own one of these so I wasn't sure if it should be on the list, but if I didn't own it I would want to, or at least get a decent try on it so I stuck it on.

That question to a bikenerd is pure torture, you know. I want them pretty much all. :facepalm:

I'll have to think about it and answer later.

*wanders off mumbling to himself*
I think I need a spredsheet... and a coffee...


Edit: Coffee did help. :roll:

1. Mountain goat deluxe :shock:
2. Specialized ultimate epic
3. GT LTS Thermoplast (check)
4. Specialized s-works FSR (check)
5. GT RTS (check)
6. Klein Attitude with some very fancy linear paint job of course... Hence my recent buy of the Pulse. Comeing closer...
7. Ibis BowTi (wanted a Szasbo once, have one now, so upped my expectations... )
8+9. Some Fat any Yeti to try them.
10. Merlin titanium - no brainer. Everybody wants one.

And I guess there are so many other bikes out there that I dont know yet that I want them...

Re:

My dream-on list as follows

Any 82 /83 Fat ATB fillet brazed like Mike NYC
FAT Ti SAB but only one ever made :shock:
An original Klunker or very early Breezer
Dave Hemmings ex FAT M/L Aquafade
Doug Bradbury Manitou full susser
Cunningham with the drops from 86
Zinn 753 (like the one just sold) :cry:
Serotta Ti Max like Defiant's
Boulder Ti
Alpine Stars Ti Mega with Ti forks

Never ridden any of the above and zero chance of owning one I guess as the saying goes be happy with what ya got

Pics of some Ti sussers I still lust over !

The 1993 as I recall me and my mates going into our LBS on our cheap steel rides (maybe not literally) and seeing the shop owner's new 1993 Altitude and thinking oooohhhh, nice ....so, it's more "of my era" and.....I like the colours!
