I'm happy with the bikes I've got, but I would love to have a 'bent of some description.....possibly
a trike 'bent.... I'd also like to move to New Zealand for a while. Believe they've got some awesome
roads and downhills. Then maybe try other places around the globe....and beyond ?!...first to cycle
on the moon. Imagine it, virtually no gravity gotta be fun, not just for getting speed up, but drop
offs to die for. Dave.

You can't keep everything in a Porsche. That's why they have these silly pop-up luggage racks on
the back...

It would simply have to be a Go-One 3. http://www.go-one.de/ukindex.shtml

... oh and a tandem recumbent trike.

A Colnago Ferrari would have considerable pose value. Not sure how good it really is as an actual
MTB though.

A pro cycling team; and a tandem with a condition of the pros contract that they have to be my
stoker as part of their training.

You're going to hate me for this but I've got a Seven - but not a Sola. It's nice. Very, very nice.
Light, responsive and quick. A beauty to ride, in fact. And it's mine, all mine I tell you...
Muahhahahahahahahahahahah....

That's not to say it couldn't use a Ti BB and an Mg stem, though...

Tony You have it the wrong way around. I always wanted to arrive at a race in a Ferrari Testarossa
with my bike on a roof rack. Now that would get people.

Not at all, the Ferrari tows the caravan while mudguards, panniers and dynamo go on the
expensive road bike

Top class hookers allowed?

12 months ago I would have said a Trek OCLV with Dura-Ace kit, Mavis-Miriam wheels (or whatever they
are called) but now I don't really want another bike, my Ultegra-Merckx is just fine. Already got
more bikes than I *need*

Maybe I'd buy some hi-tech clothing that claims to keep me cool & dry in the rain ! or
some £29 tyres

Only if they bicycle, bicycle, bicycle, bicycle race - ring, ring. Jazz, nice!

I'd plump (literally in my case) for a nice hard tail, perhaps a nicer road bike and a tourer sort
of thing. However, I do have a strange yearning to head to the dark side if only to see how quickly
I'd fall off.

Naturally, the first few thousand quid of my imagined lottery win would be spent on
ovofubegf and gnyp.

A pal with a Lotus Elise asked Lotus if they did a kayak rack for it.=20 They thought he was taking
the ****! But they did offer him a titanium=20 ski rack, a snip at =A3800!

(though I'm not exactly up on matters Ferrari, IIRC the Testarossa is=20 considered a bit second
