Bike Dreaming
It's been awhile since we've posted our dream bikes, so hey, why not start a new thread.
Personally, I've been spending lots of time looking at Rivendells, particularly ones like Grant Petersen's Atlantis:

I'd pay 500 to see you do a century on that.
2011-06-02 23:49:03
Find me 100 miles of downhill roads.
2011-06-02 23:57:02
you gotta flintstone it and i'm in for 500
2011-06-03 00:16:20
Get me that bike and I will flintstone it 100 miles for $1000.
2011-06-03 00:17:39
yeah, i need to think before i post stuff like that because you're crazy enough to do it. luckily neither lyle or myself specified 500 of what.
2011-06-03 00:22:05
I noticed that, which is why I specified before I found myself pushing that around for 100 miles.

My dream bike is one that was not previously owned. One day...

iPhone was being a dick about copying the link. As usual, dropbox to the rescue!
2011-06-03 03:45:21
My dream bike changes every day, however, a pack of 100 5mm allen wrenches would be nice! 
But my current lust is 
2011-06-04 03:58:37
or this...
2011-06-04 04:54:44
We bought our dream bike too
I dream about riding it more

This frame hangs above the computer at thick:
I've actually dreamt about buying it. I wish I could afford it.

Nate, the plastic grocery bags really ruin the elegance.
2011-06-06 04:30:08
While not especially aesthetically pleasing... the Co-Motion Americano Rohloff struck me the other day as my dream utilitarian commuter bike. Especially coupled to a Bikes at Work trailer.
2011-06-06 13:11:26
Before I found my craigslist 1980's mixte I wanted the A-Line from Sweet Pea Bicycles 
.
Now for the future I'm liking the Public bikes like this one:

Ok, I thought I was over having dream bikes and such. Wrong. Pedersen.
2011-06-08 20:48:41
I dig Pedersens, but I couldn't ride one without a yellow seat. And a Chiquita sticker...
2011-06-08 21:20:55
... and a basket of fruit on your head? That Pedersen is AWESOME!
2011-06-08 21:48:20
Dream bike #2: A.N.T. Bike Light Roadster (Probably with a Sturmey Archer S3X 3-Speed Fixed hub)
2011-06-09 01:58:41
An ANT bike is on my short list as well. Real short. Like, give it a month assuming all goes according to plan.
2011-06-09 04:38:13
+1 ANT roadster, although I'd likely go singlespeed/fixed.
2011-06-09 09:36:53
+2 for ANT.
Also, the original Ira Ryan porteur is very awesome.
2011-06-09 10:45:20
That is a nice Ryan. If only someone had matching pedals to go with it...
2011-06-09 11:22:17
Ooooo, what model/specs, Brad???
2011-06-09 12:38:05
Custom touring bike. Still sort of working out specs.

2011-06-09 13:23:43
That framebuilding class looks sweet. I'm thinking of saving up my pennies for 2012.
2011-06-09 13:45:57
I'll have a full report once I'm back. Ant Bike Mike is about the nicest and smartest guy you'll come across in the bike industry, I really can't fathom this not being mind blowing awesome.
2011-06-09 14:26:26
Wow, what a cool idea. IF I ever win the lottery, I'll buy everyone in this thread the six-week class! 
2011-06-09 15:02:33
@headloss I can agree to those terms, as well
