If we are talking 'A' specific bike - it would be Wiggo's TT bike he used on the first ITT.  

At 6'3 I gotta think the set up would be close and I could use it 'right out of the box'.  aero bar risers, elliptical ring and all.  Plus riding a TdF stage winning bike's gotta be faster Wink

wiggo tt

 

In reality - another for a P5.. But I will be happy when I 'settle' for a P2

I am actually trading emails right now with Nick Crumpton...

I am starting to put together a custom Crumpton SL Road, with a Campy SRM and EPS Super Record. I have not decided on the wheels or any of the other bits yet.

I have an R3 Red and a P2 and love them both so I would love to upgrade either of them to an R5ca or a P5 (assuming the fit was right)!!!

I'm 4'10", so my dream bike would be a custom actually made to fit me, instead of me always buying the smallest frame available and making it just barely work (i.e. shortening the stem, slamming the seat all the way down and forward, etc.).

Yes - But I dont want 'ANY' PG, I want 'HIS' PG,  specifically the one he rode on Monday.  Thats the 'Any - one of kind - dream' bike I would want.  I'd probably want to mount it a wall and never ride it though.

 

Even in my reality, I still have a 'dream' bike - the one I tell me wife "If I could have any bike it would be this one (P5) .. and it's only twice as much as the one I am going to get.."

I was hoping they'd change up the S5 colors!  They were pretty dumb IMO

I love my Specialized Roubaix S-works. 

Actually love is an understatement.

I want to love one of these, too

Tough question...  It's like asking what I would want for a car.

First of all, let's assume that I can fit any of them, because if I limited myself to ones I fit, I don't get much.

I don't know all the crazy exotic and one-offs, so I will stick to stuff I can actually buy.

I like a Specialized Shiv for my TT bike.  Cervelo P5 would do nicely.

I love the Cervelo S5 for my roadie  (I'm not being brand loyal, I just like them).

A Santa Cruze Tallboy or Ellsworth Evolve Full suspension 29er.  Cannondale Scalpel 29er carbon for a hardtail.

I would love to build a nice single speed and beach cruiser as well - all custom parts and colors.

Is it too late for me to say I'd really like to have the LOTUS that Boardman rode? Also, Bostick's Hooker.

"ehh, Cronometro posted some of the pictures from brain bike and I was not at all impressed."

Well, graphics are always a matter of individual taste. I saw the new Cervelo colors and graphics in the Dealer Workbook. I really liked them. Updated fonts for the bike model names, solid colors and great patterns on the bikes. Racy, simple, elegant.

I liked 'em.

The guys who create bike graphics have a largely thankless task. They'll never design something everyone likes. It's a tough job.

P7

Actually it would my current Trek Speed Concept with Di2 added.

And my Madone 5.2 would get bumped up a couple of numbers, again with Di2!

And I would like to add a cool cyclocross bike to my stable, but I don't know when I could find time to ride it!

Agreed... If I remember this correctly some of us liked the 2008 P3 paint scheme where others did not.

Can I have more than one? 

I have the tri bike I want - a Scott Plasma 10. 

I want either a Scott Foil Team Issue or a Giant TCR W Advanced road bike. 

I want a Surly Moonlander too. 

I also want (and am about to get) a Giant Anthem W X1
