Poll - If money were not a consideration - which bike?
- Thread starter tomUK
- Start date
trek 5200 wsd (yes i'm a woman), but if i weren't, trek 5500. man does it feel great! if i had the money, that would have been my bike. it is worth a test ride.
For me, if money was no object I would get a Kestral carbon framed bike with top of the line Campy groupo on it.
Trek Madone 5.9 with 10spd Dura-Ace and Mavic Ksyriums and full carbon finishing kit,
oh did I mention I have mine on order, it's not that moneys is no object, its just that some things are worth the sacrifice, so who's care that I can't have a beer forthe next 12 months, the ride will last a lot longer ;-)

If money were no object I would have a Parlee custom carbon. You shouldn't have to compromise on something stock when you are plunking a big chunk of change. And believe it or not, many custom builders make a better product for less money than the big companies.
If money is no object why wouldn't you go with a custom fit? (yeh, I know, I'm not listening to directions). I'd go the custom route and have one built that fit me like me like my favorite pair of shoes and was tuned to the exact type of ride I wanted. Maybe a Seven Odonata Ti. Then....I'd go Campy Record and Race X Lites, Serfas Terazzo saddle, SPD SL pedals, Easton EA90 bars, Ritchey WCS stem....my $.02.
Actually I just built my ultimate bike, no stock bike here. I wanted something I could build and pick and choose what components I wanted also. I wanted all Italian so I went Coppi KSC(Columbus Airplane and CF stays and fork) full Campy Record w/CF Crankset and Campy Neutron Wheels. To finsh it off F'zike seat 3T bars and stem, Cinnelli tape, I waited a long time to be able to do this, I remember drooling over and Atala with sew-ups when I was 13yo, oh man a real Italian racing bike
. Now all I have to do is get my ass in shape to ride this thing like it was ment. BTW I was 13 in 1973
a suggestion: no cheating
for those who can't accept a choice of an ultimate stock bike, start a seperate thread on the Ultimate Custom Bike.
It's more interesting to see what the best of the stock bikes are out there.
