never owned a Ti frame and I think I would like to (my next project I think)
First carbon frame is on its way so that ones to be ticked off soon.

Never owned proper maguras - I have / had black and silver but never the proper yellow ones, I would like to do that one day.

I think most parts angles are covered over the years. Not going into the brands I have never owned as the list is LOOOOONG but nothing stands out as "I really want to own a / wish I had owned a ...."

oh, I have never owned a road bike. never really wanted to...

Making progress....
Ti frame, check (project T2).
Yellow Maguras, check (project Zaskar).
Carbon frame, just waiting to make space in the shed so I can pick it up
Road bike...well, lets not get carried away.

more for my list of never dones:
smoke/dart tyres, is this some sort of rite of passage?
multi-coloured spokes, was a bit of a craze mid-90's but I never felt the need
