do you have a "lust after" bike?

[Boris Bajic]

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...

Well.... I s'pose it won't rust.

I bet it sways on a fast, side-windy descent with them gert big, deep rims on it.

In my day.... (add text or move on as appropriate - I can guess which)

They make sensible steel bikes as well. And very nice they are too. Horses etc...

But having made do with whatever frame I could get out of a skip, I quite fancy the whole custom carbon-titanium-bling thing. Most likely in sensible colours like http://www.ifrider.com/xs-2/, but I wouldn't rule out having a funny turn and doing something like this: http://www.ifrider.com/xs-in-candy-absinthe/

Saw a guy riding one of these last week. Looked great in the metal!!

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

There's a bloke i know who bought that bike about ten years ago. He stopped cycling for some reason a few years ago so the bike is now gathering dust. I offered him a good price but he said that he doesn't want the money so he's not selling it. He has a duty to let that machine be where it should be and that's on the open road, not stuck in his hallway gathering dust!! I wonder if there's a cycle liberation front out there?

Yum yum

I'd at least want to get a frame made for me. Proper frame fitting by someone who knows what they're doing.

Best wait till he dies..................

He'll probably leave it to someone in his will. He's so tight that has a toilet seat super glued together in three pieces!

I'd love something like this for rides out with Mrs W_M_B.

She could give me head massages while she powers us along

Hmmmmmmmmm

I would post an actual picture but the website wont let you copy any. It probably costs more than my house, the sort of bike I would just want to look at and not actually ride anywhere... assuming I was a billionaire...
