Unlimited Funds.....

[Sunny Portrush]

If you had unlimited funds, what bike would you buy and why? Sorry if this has been done before but i`m a newbie on here and just trying to chat!

This question was once used at a first meeting with a new client, as the ice breaker. A big- wig from the client's team replied without any hint of sarcasm that he would buy a helicopter and hire a pilot so that he could get to work earlier in the mornings.

Me? I'd buy a Defender and drive to Cape Town where I would buy a wine farm.

Sorry. Misread the opener. Didn't realise I was supposed to be buying a bicycle.

Please ignore and carry on

No problem - didnt stop me googling Defender bikes tho

With unlimited funds I'd go for a range of bikes. There's no one bike that I know of that will serve all purposes, some will serve some purposes but with compromises. But if I had to go for one bike, I think a titanium audax bike that could take panniers might tick a lot of boxes for me.

I would have a Genesis Day One Disc and a Cannondale Badboy 2 (2013)

I am also a very cheap date

Unlimited funds would see me wanting more than one bike - it would be nice to think I could try a bike and then just see if it felt good to ride, rather than worrying about what if it wasn't comfortable. If it was just the one bike then possibly a recumbent.

with unlimited funds I would buy a bike with an engine, a Harley probabblyby.

Like others above I'd have a fleet of bikes for example; tourer, racer, folder, mountain bike and one of these just coz I like the look of it:

Oh, and a well equipped workshop plus training so I could build my own frames.

The EcoDrive bike has integrated lights and turn signals and has a little niche for your smartphone – and it’ll charge it as you ride.

I don't know what bike I'd buy, but I may be tempted to build my own velodrome.
