Ultimate road bike?

I know the feeling. A bit like 'which framebuilder would you use for your dream custom steel frame?'

I keep coming back to a fancy lugged Mercian...

...I know that there are much better frames out there, but dreams have no relation to fact, practicality or data.
 
I feel a bit guilty as i seem to own most of mine :oops:

Including, but not definitive

Ti Bianchi in Celeste with Chorus carbon

Colnago C40 Mapei replica with Record 10

fat fixey, dont feel bad :D that just means that 1 you have a passion and 2 your one lucky sob ;)


there are so many good brands, especially in steel that their tough to list!! p.s. i do love the gios =]
 
'Merckx Molteni replica with Chorus 10'

Nnnoooo! Only with Campag Record or NR surely! Chorus is much to modern.

Or am I just being an old stick-in-the-mud?
 
Sorry Andy, I'm with Paul here - the Molteni Replica deserves older kit, would look ace with C Record complete with Deltas.

Then again, I may just be jealous, of the Molteni replica and the others you list.
 
I'm saving the C-Record bits (inc deltas) and 1st gen Shamal wheels for one

of my two mid 80-s Colnago Masters in ferrari red :D
