At the moment for me it's this

That does look cool. Right colours, all my dream bikes will be orange and black

I've not figured out 2-5 yet and there's a still the question to disc or not to disc to answer... But probably this as number one, with a lot more decisions on groupset, wheels and paint job to be made!

White with blue and red is gorgeous, others aren;t anything special

Agreed, this years off the peg paint schemes are nothing to write home about. But it doesn't matter too much as custom would be the choice as a dream bike!

Starley bikes at Altrincham do very custom paint jobs on their frame sets - anything you want really.

I was in the Specialized concept store in Covent Garden on Saturday, the frame, along with the Tarmac in the same orange colour looked stunning. If I didn't have my Cervelo I would be tempted with the Tarmac

May just be the photo lighting or the Budweiser but it looks yellow to me - there is a nice white/red Venge for 2014 & the red/white of 2013 model is cool too.

Rotrax were a maker of extremely high quality lightweight cycles. Lots of info if you google Rotrax bicycles. Good examples fetch very high prices due to the quality of workmanship.

Hi,
Do you have a photo of your rapide? I'm trying to find out what model I bought, it's 60's & has chromed lugs like
This? Thanks.

@ChopperGav

Might need linking to someone who has one this.

Is there a vintage buff on here ? Probably somewhere.

Sorry can't help.

Good thread resurrection though.
Had forgotten about this one.

 

[SteCenturion]

Thread resurrection - see above.

Now got one or two to add to my growing list.

Van Nicholas - Aquilo SE or (lottery win) Astraeus.

Argon 18 Gallium Pro.

I'd love a Willier Zero 7 for the fast rides.
A nice Ti bike to comfortably eat up the miles, built up with campag s/record and a brooks sadlle (something im yet to try). Something that would be guaranteed to outlive me.
Wouldnt really need any more bikes as I'd keep the ones I have then all bases wold be covered.

 

[jasonmccullum]

only one bike fits the bill
