I may have a cycle scheme voucher on the way....
I may be interested in a hardtail MTB.
This might be 2016 if it all goes to plan though, but maybe 2017.

None!
(Unless a 55cm Condor Gran Fondo frame appears on eBay, then I will not be able to help myself)!
I'd need to sell at least one off though for space reasons
My aim should probably actually be to actually at least ride the 5 at some point/regularly (don't think I've actually had the carbon out this year)

I'll start ....
currently I have 3 bikes ...
my daily (spring/summer/autumn commuter is a Specialized S-Works Transition (a definate keeper and my favourite bike)
A giant TCR Composite (my fast bike) .... it's faster on hills that the Specialized, because the geometry is different and I pedal faster that the S-Works when I stand and pedal .... on flats, there is not much difference in top speed. The S-Works weighs a bit less (just over 7kg), and the Giant weighs just over a kilo and a bit more
My winter commuting bike is a Surly Long Haul Trucker .... heavy with 26 inch wheels .... slow but very comfortable, and a definate keeper. I bought this bike with the intention of cyling LEJOG, but if I do LEJOG, I will want to ride it as fast as I can, so at this stage, I would rather use the Specialized
So, they way I'm leaning at this stage is:
Keep the S-Works as my daily summer commuter .... it's quick, and it's exciting to ride
save up, then sell the Giant TCR and replace that with a good used Scott Foil with Di2 .... this will be my 'fast'/weekend bike.... I really like these
Keep the Surly Long Haul Trucker for special slow group rides with friends (it's a definate keeper, and very very comfy .... can be ridden 12-14 hours a day at 20-22km/hr with a decent saddle
Buy a good used Specialized Roubaix .... add 700Cx28 tyres, Dynamo hub and lights, mudguards, and I will have a very good Winter bike that I can ride fast when I want to (thats what I'm missing from the Surly), plus it may be good for long Audax rides (which I'm planning on doing in 2017)
plus one more for fun ..... a vintage racing Tricycle similiar to this: (I've wanted one for a long time)
so what's on your wishlist for 2017?
My wish list is "one of each!" But I probably will not buy another bike.

None for next year, planning on a titanium one next, probably won't be able to afford it until 2019 thou!
Long term planning!
Did buy a lovely Cannondale synapse this year, so can't grumble.

None. Four of the current squadron do specific jobs and then two others act as backup but I ought to sell them or rent them out and two aren't mine. One or two might get replaced, but they would almost certainly be replacements.

I've got one of these on order
Although I have specced it up a little from the version shown above.
I now need all the different parts to actually arrive at LBS so the thing can be built - currently we are waiting on most of it, I think that the only major component that has actually arrived are the rims. Serves me right for deciding to build a bike out of bits that are yet to be released...

I've got my Giant Escape which will become my 'everywhere, all the time' bike once I've sorted out some panniers and a rack.
I'd quite like to add a hardtail MTB, singlespeed/fixie and a drop bar road bike that will become the fair weather toy. If I'm lucky I'll get two out of the three in 2017. It's times like this I'm glad I got rid of the missus.
