do you have a "lust after" bike?

[Sandra6]

Is there one that you really really really want but you know you could never afford it or it would be totally impractical anyway?
I have several, I change my mind a lot.
My current obsession is with electra bikes -we've just started selling them online with Halfords so I get to look at them a lot when I'm supposed to be working.
They are just so purdy. They tend to be around £500 which is not excessive in itself, but for a bike that I would only use occasionally for very short trips it's just not justifiable. So I continue to look and drool.
There is a little part of me that thinks I might actually be disappointed if I ever got one too.
I also really want a trike, with seats on the back. I could afford a second hand one, but where would I keep it?! As a family we already have 7 bikes in the yard and two in the front room.
So, tell me what you want, what you really really want.

Planet X Kaffenback

Nearly bought one but felt the geometry was a bit out, this picture is almost perfect. Just change the mudguards to brown and add a bunch of Carradice (Green) traditional bike bags

This one

I don't care what model it is, the manufacturers name, it's font and the frame colour pop my cork every time!

 

[Rob3rt]

I used to... but right now, I am content with the bikes I own.

I used to lust after a 3rensho track bike,but since they're
built in Japan for the keirin racing the chances of me finding a 62cm frame
are next to zero,
I'd love a Cinelli Supercorse but could'nt bring myself to pay £1500 for a frameset
Happy with my MKM now

Wouldn't say no to a Look 695

Ditto on the Bianchi brand. But I do have a bike that I'd really like that meets all the criteria - can't afford it, totally useless, don't know if I'd ever ride it even if I had it, but it's beautiful - the Pashley Guv'nor:

It seems that every time I lust after a bike I end up buying it.
Not good for the wallet, oh no.

I'm lusting after pretty much any road bike, although I know I'll feel I'm cheating on the ole tourer when I eventually get a road bike.

Probably this at the moment, ICE Vortex.


Though I am still rather keen on the Brox.

A Windcheeta recumbent. Rode one a few years ago and was utterly smitten
And a Lotus bike as used by C Boardman. I would sell a kidney to get my hands on one.
