My bike! I saved and sold a couple of other toys (guns) to get it, but it's worth it. It's my 3rd SC and I'm sticking with them. XT, Z1 QR 20, Sun-Ringle', Easton. Have fun.

Nice Bike!

Cove Handjob. all XT stuff, Mavic wheels, Ritchey, KORE, Salsa accessories...Hard Tail all the way...and for less than a grand!

Cove's have ended up being nice bikes. Stout too. It's hard to kill them. I feel disloyal giving another bike props, but heh, the Heckler will forgive me (I hope!). Ride on.

K. Thanks hoho. I just wish my skills would do the bike justice.

Road; Look KG381i in bare carbon finish, carbon EVERYTHING, Dura-Ace 10sp, Chris King hubs/Open Pro rims/DT Revolution spokes. I like the look of carbon.

Mountain; Cannondale Scalpel, full XTR w/ hyd discs, Lefty ELO fork, Crossmax UST wheels

Is your little buddy flipping us off?! I don't know if I am offended or in love! Very cool.;-)

Hmm it does look a little like that, doesn't it I think he's putting his index finger in the air or something.

I really should change it a bit as I use the same one on (most) all the forums

Colnago C50. Full Record. Campy Bora wheels.

 

[The Joker]

Pretty much what I have but with better components:

M1 for offroad [BoXXers, XTR, Hope, etc.]
C4 Joker for onroad [Corima disc, H3 front, Record, Vision Tech, etc.]
And one of these..... http://www.c4carbon.com/inglese/ciclismo/dett_bici6.htm

Same here - pretty hard to improve on my Trek Y-Foil w/Chorus group. Maybe Campy Bora or Zipp 909/404 wheels... Synapsi handlebars... A couple of plane tickets so I could tour the Alps for the terrific hillclimbs, and then tour Holland for the terrific coffee and beer.

 

[RalleighOke]

Frame - Almost anything Carbon
G/Set - Full Campy Record
Wheels - Mavic Ksyriums SSL

If cost was not an issue, why couldn't you have them all?

 

[hohobike]

[Gazoo]

True True...did anyone see the article on Robin Williams in Bicycling last month or was it this month? He takes the buy them all philosophy to heart!!!!

Do you have a once off unlimited supply or do you have it forever? Because you'll have to replace parts sometime and insurance is also a must.

My choice would be a Carrera Pitbull with Chorus group and FIR Galaxium wheels. Not to over the top but still affordable.
