How much would you spend on a new bike ?

[Rustybucket]

Probably about 5k (I'd still lie about the price to the wife thou) she's just found out how much my silver cdf cost and is not a happy bunny!

Up to 10k for the right bike, it would have to be a multi million pound win though.

And a new 'big' garage..

I'm one step ahead of you

£10,000 sounds about right and a different colour for each day of the week plus a full time mechanic and bike cleaner

And a new 'big' garage..

...all 3 of my bike`s have their own room upstairs my tourer alone is valued at £265o to replace

I would just buy a really good bike shop and put a closed sign up on the door

Would have to buy whatever caught my eye tbh. Not necessarily big bucks, not necessarily cheap, but whatever floats my boat at the time. Would end up with a good number of them though...with a pukka workshop, as already suggested above.

New unlimited spend bikes every day, never need to clean them again

 

[jayonabike]

No limit. Why would you put a limit? If you've won a few million what's 10grand on a bike? Even if you haven't won millions and you can afford 7 or 8 grand on a bike then why not? You can't take it with you when you die. If it gives you enjoyment then it's worth every penny.

I used to be in to cars, then motorbikes, but cycling has taken over now. I wouldn't spend huge amounts on a car, so could buy a significant number of expensive bikes instead.

Id have this i think, around 5k, I havnt really looked beyond this budget

 

[KneesUp]

What on earth would you need 26 wheels for?

I'm a fat so-and-so

 

[andyfraser]

I'd be in a position to try something with electronic gears so something that I liked the feel of with Ultegra Di2 would probably suit me (Dura Ace if I was being flash but I doubt I need it).

I probably wouldn't buy a car (I bet I do though) so I'd want a cargo bike with decent panniers and as bombproof as possible for going to the shops. I'd buy a decent MTB and actually go off road for once. I'd probably want to try a lot of different MTBs and a few cyclocross bikes.

I'll be honest, I'd buy the road bike and cargo bike as above then just buy a succession of bikes to try out different disciplines. The plus side is I'd probably out all day every day on a bike of some description.

I won $10 on the lottery so ordered up a Colnago C60 with Campag record....oh, hang on, missed the point where you have to win the jackpot. D'Oh!

So many people replying 'I don't really need x or y'

Well of course you don't, if life was all about what we needed we'd be living in a cave with a fire for warmth and some food + water.

I'd probably end up with 10 bikes minimum, and I doubt any of them would be worth less than £5k. I'd buy what bike or part I wanted, when I wanted it and wouldn't even look at the price.
