Dream Collection

Was this the one that BSC had at their clearance sale recently for $999? Struck me as strange they’d have that on the floor.

Yeah it was. Think it might have been a custom build but not sure.

i) Vintage Colnago Master with modern Campy crabon bits (got that one)
ii) Brompton 3 speed with dynamo. Sexy, I know. Very practical for my work situation.
iii) Cargobike Longhaul/Surly Big Dummy, kid/groceries/furniture mover
iv) Modern steel road bike, fillet-brazed custom Bobo with Campy Record and Bora’s (to take on the trip to Italy I always plan when I’m eating pollo a funghi with my wife)
v) Tourer (got a fully loaded LHT, so big tick) - doesn’t get used as a tourer, but is very useful for camping weekends away with the kids.
vi) Rivendell Quickbeam (or similar), fixed, full fenders, dynamo, Brooks saddle and bartape, Saddlebag. Think Frank Patterson’s etchings of British touring cyclists, second commuter.
vii) 650b Rando bike, maybe French, maybe custom?
viii) Peugeot mixte, with basket and ever-present bagette.

I think we have a similar tase in bicycles, but I have a bit of a thing for some of the classic Sydney-built frames more than Italian steel. And instead of the Big Dummy, I would kike a front-loading cargo bike.

In addition to the list, I would like a ne-retro moutainbike. Custom-built, steel, rigid, brazons for Magura HS-33 hydraulic rim brakes, some old school XTR built up on to 29er rims because I’m tall, and racks to get a bit of luggage off the back.

Matching Nagasawa or 3Rensho road and track bikes, both with full Suntour Superbe Pro.

I’ve neglected this thread, sorry.

Great posts. Obviously some classy folk out there.
