If Money Weren’t an Issue…

If you had unlimited funds, what bike would you buy?
Would it be the lightest, fastest, carbon frame on earth (hint: this would imply a rather large anti-bike-as-transportation attitude…say no)?
Or, would it be the biggest, baddest xtracycle money can buy?
Mine (this week anyway), would be the Velo Orange Custom Randonneur
The Semi-Custom Velo-Orange Randonneur
I’m not sure why, but recently the idea of randonneuring has me very interested. It’s non-competitive, but very challenging and rewarding. If you haven’t heard of a Brevet before, it sounds like a lot of fun.
So, what about you? What would your ride be?

Two posts in one day! It almost seems like a miracle. As to the post, I’ve likewise been interested in randonneuring for quite a while. It seems like a lot of fun. As to my favorite bike, if money and time were no object? It would have to be a Vanilla! http://www.vanillabicycles.com/ Check out their randonee bikes. This is some beautiful work. That is my vote. As much as I like Velo Orange, Vanilla is prettier!

OK, you win. Vanilla are some of the nicest bikes I’ve ever seen. But a five year waiting list!! That must be some bike. And I thought the wait for Velo-Orange was long.
