Salty seadog

Space Cadet...(3rd Class...)
Steel or ti road or fast flat bar with full guards. The two carbons I have only have limited possibilities for guards and most offerings are not that much cop.
 

Dogtrousers

Kilometre nibbler
I already have 3 (two big ones and a folding one) which I feel is one too many.

If I had money and space (and time to ride it) I'd get a recumbent of some sort. No idea what sort tho.

I really want a fixed. I have the frame for it (currently doing turbo duty for the near future), but I'll need to put a replacement on the turbo, so I need to get another frame repaired.

First problem is hiding the cost of replacing two chainstays (one snapped, one doesn't look happy after carrying me home for 5 miles), and the cost of converting it to fixed.

Second problem is hiding the bike from Mrs C, she's already unhappy with the number of bikes (3) and bike parts in the front room.

We would like a couple of Bromptons. It might happen one day....
As someone said above, a nice Mercian.
I'd like to have a go on a recumbent just to see if I liked it.
 
A bike for my daughter, if I could persuade her to ride one

She won't go near one, after falling off about 5 years ago (she's 16 next month)
I did try to get her to look at a Liv, at All Terrain Cycles, at Salts Mill a few weeks ago

Heck!, I even tried convincing her, that my new bike (arrived last week) was for her, when she starts College in September
 
I don't know, is the answer. I fancy a nicer roadbike, something lighter and sharper but I also wouldn't mind a more do it all cross type bike. It's a conundrum.

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
Fat bike (scot big jon, for obvious reasons)
Pashley, ( princess even though its a laaaaadies bike)
Look 795 aerolight
