Which bike is missing from your stable?

Inspired by this thread: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/is-it-odd-to-have-a-hybrid-and-a-road-bike.215533/ what extravagant, or slightly odd cycle would you have given money, space etc. no object?

I'm not thinking of outrageously expensive stuff, just something that you can't begin to justify from a practical perspective.

For me, for ages I've wanted to at least try one of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedersen_bicycle

A Cleland or a Highpath. At a pinch one the the English Cycles clones.

Motorised fat bike

 

[vickster]

A Condor Gran Fondo Ti And will remain so unless one comes up on the bay of fleas

Nothing. I have three that pretty much cover everything:

Ribble Winter/Auduax with carbon forks - this is my light bike. I don't race, so it's light enough for me, and can take a rack if I want to carry things (although it doesn't have one at the moment) )Frame £20 off Vernon, late of this parish. New forks, other parts secondhand.
Drop bar rigid MTB with slicks and rack - do it all commuter/tourer/utility bike £26 off ebay plus bars, bar end shifters and stuff
Flat bar rigid MTB with knobblies - for off road stuff. I more inclined to going off road to get to a place rather than to jump over stuff or belt downhill £31 off ebay plus new tyres, cables and grips.

A tandem would be fun with Mrs Skol

Maybe a fat bike, but maybe not?

 

[Welsh wheels]

Penny farthing. I've seen a chap near me who rides a modern version. I want to see if it's possible to ride one without falling off after trying to start off at lights.

Electric bike, can maybe see me getting one in a year or two.

I can see the appeal of a Brompton but not sure I'd use it.

I'm holding off on the e-bikes until I *need* one because of old age or infirmity. I can see the attraction though.

 

[Shaun]

A recumbent. I've fancied owning one for years but don't have the funds / house room for one. Someday in the future maybe. I'll keep on hanging on.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Brompton 2 speed Titanium Superlight please....

That elusive beast that glides up hills almost effortlessly.

 

[iandg]

The Colnago track bike that was no longer mine when I 'retired' from track racing in 1984

e-bike?

 

[Drago]

Motorbike?
