What bikes did you want but could never afford?

[LeeDevelopment]

I've been really lucky as have raced several high end frames, Foes Fab's, Intense M1's and M3's, Scott Octane WC DH's with the team's background.

My first 'proper' hardtail was a Zaskar LE, tricked to the max, must get the old film rolls developed.

Attitude in Dolomite with Campag Centaur
Explosif black splatter with XC-Pro
Yeti Ultimate or FRO with XT
Serotta T-Max with XT

Having the Butler which is probably rarer than all the above and as good quality wise sort of makes up for the fact I still can't afford any of them.

Oooh, controversial.

From BITD:

-Klein Attitude
- Any Proflex
- Ritchey P21 Frame


I now own a Proflex , the Klein just doesn't "do it" for me these days though for some reason, but I'd still like to build up a P21 framed hardtail someday (if there's any left!)

since first seeing magazine tests and then a couple in the flesh it has always been the MC San Andreas.
got three of 'em now and the reality IS as good as i hoped. now of course the dream is one example of every bike MC have produced.
maybe...one day......in the far far distant future!
