do you have a "lust after" bike?

[ianrauk]

I'd like one of these. Thank you.

What is it? Hard to tell from the pic. Looks very nice anyway.

It's an Independent Fabrications XS - carbon tubing with Ti lugs. That one's a Rapha edition, which is slightly embarrassing - you might prefer this version...

Nah.. that's too much... much prefer the first one you posted.

Me too. I don't really approve of white bar tape and saddles, but there you go...

How about pink Ti? I can see Ade on this:

Indeed.. he would look very colour co-ordinated...

It's odd, don't you think, that all the diamond frame bikes look about the same to me? No one of them stands out from any other.

No, it's not just you.

I can't tell whether ianrauk's lusted Van Nic is a Yukon (which is, I know, a very nice bike) or one of other models.

Probably this at the moment, ICE Vortex.

ICE Sprint for me, but a variation on a similar theme.

It's a Euros. It has straight seatstays compared to the Yukon's curved stays.
And a more race geometry then the Yukon's touring.

Anything that's better than my Raleigh Scorpio to be honest. But hey I still enjoy riding it

Ti....

Ti....

Though you already had a Ti? A VN Euros?

No, I almost bought one a while back but had to buy furniture instead (Mrs was moaning we needed a new dining room table, chairs, matching sideboard/ bookcase) so I had to forget about the VN. I recently bought the Cervelo, but still fancy a Ti bike one day. I'm liking the look of the Sabbath bikes at the mo.
