This sounds really bad, but.
My old, bent bike, Lazarus, before I bent the frame and forks. It'd have its current wheels, though. No more bent axles for me.
I keep chasing this not particularly good bike from the 1980s, but in spite of it nothing I've owned has been quite as satisfying.

A Cunninghm racer for me. Or my klunker down Repack. Or Kylie*
* Not suggesting for a minute that she's a bike. She's nice and I would have no problem taking her home to meet the parents (would have to check the wife wasnae about first). On the other hand, 5 minutes is a tad optimistic- like I said, she is very nice

Retro? I have never ridden an aluminium bike. How about either a Pace or a Klein.
I would really like to have a go on something that bounces at both ends. I have never been on a full suspension bike. So something well sorted and modern. Never really tried discs either.

I'd like to ride my Manitou FS for longer than five minutes without bits falling off
Apart from that an early 90's Klein Adroit with gator fade paint and rigid forks, a dream bike from BITD that unlike the Manitou FS i'm certain i will never own (unless i win the lotto)
Also i've never understood the big deal about Pace's so i'd like a wee go on one of those to see what all the fuss is about, apart from pics i've only ever seen one in the flesh (an RC100 in a shop BITD)
