You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Its the Euro-millions 100 UK Millionaires draw tonight and you've just bagged the winning ticket! Obviously now needing a brand new 'money's no object' bike, what would you go for?
For me, i'd have to look at one of the flagship Santa Cruz bikes. Following this i'd probably then move to B.C.
Mate I'd buy a Ferrari.
F the bike!
But later yes a new carbon build for each day of the week
And a top of the range Trek, Look, Spesh, Cove. Cannodale and Italian.
Women...booze...holidays...gym membership.
No idea what it rides like but it looks the bolx. I would have to treat it to some top end campag though.

...and I would track down my old 456 in "that blue" that I sold many moons ago and buy it back.
Mate I'd buy a Ferrari.F the bike!
You could get a bike rack on one though, couldn't you?
No one makes a mountain bike I truly desire, I'd have to start my own company.
I'm ashamed to say that I have all the bikes that I need for myself. I would buy a good bike for a mate though - something a bit bling-y in Ti or carbon.
BMW 5 series Estate to carry bikes to Wales?
Or a people carrier?
MX5 with a rack?
Custom Ti frame?
More women? (Sorry if I sound sexist)
I'd keep my Superlight frame but add the most expensive bits I could find.

I'm sure something could be bodged together...

Get a tow bar fitted?
I don't have high hopes on the lotto, so will be driving my mondeo for a bit longer and if my GF reads this I swear I was joking about the women honest.
That Kinesis in Fresh Goods today would be a good starting point.

😆
A custom Ti framed road bike, and then a ferrari.
nice mid-range road bike, maybe Canyon, and a Canyon full-susser.
Ferraris have to be red.
Wouldn't change the Covert just the 6 year old forks. I might have to buy a Santa Cruz solo as well purely because the Steve Peat promo was so good.
A Parlee Z5, carbon tallboy, a touring bike of some kind, pimp out my Bob Jackson with Enve carbon bits and DuraAce and some bike packing kit. And a Vanilla cycles steel cross bike.
a colnago c59 and either a groovy cycles, soulcraft or ted wojcik custom mtb.
could probably buy a bike company for that sort of money.
Me and the lads, I ride with have a euro syndicate. As most of us all have the bikes we want anyhoo, I always thought we would just book 2 weeks in Whistler and all try not to kill ourselves.
I'd get a Giant TCR Advanced SL with super record.... just because I could.
And some Devilles for my rocket. And a new wheelset.
And maybe a fully loaded Triumph Tiger 800 XC or a BM F800GS Explorer (depending on how next week goes like... 😳 )
The new GT Fury, Orange Alpine 160, Specialized Venge.
A new one every ride?
I'm happy enough with my current bike, er well ok I may get the full carbon version with XTR just for comparison purposes.
One of each from the Yeti catalogue.
I'd just buy the Audi to go with my Orange Five
anagallis_arvensis - Member
I'd just buy the Audi to go with my Orange
Shirley its Audi that comes first....
Surly Krampus and Ventana El Rey - should meet most requirements - plus the van to move them in.

I really have done this all wrong haven't I?
To be honest, it would be less the bike and more where I'd be able to take it.
A_a: just swap the badge, I'm sure no one would notice....
Jamie: a good point well made. A month in Colorado for me then!
Forget the ferrari, i'd go for ls1 conversion in the capri and top it off with the mandatory fluffy dice.
Bike wise a custom full suss?and a road bike from this melenium.
A custom tourer, then I'd start riding and see where I ended up.
I would ride the ones I have.
I'd also buy a track bike, a fully rigid 29er, maybe a new road bike.. a TT bike too just to see what they're like.
Intense Carbine and kit it out with lots of bling.
There's a sweet hardtail in the classifieds. I'd buy that.
Honestly I would get a 2014 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo carbon. And probably a mid range road bike. I would properly pimp my Enduro Evo and my BFe too.
As for cars, an M5 touring please.
So what can I get with my £4.70?
Remedy 29 with XX1 and carbon wheelset (to start with)
7 Series Madone, 9070 Di2, an array of carbon wheels
Mojo SL-R
Superfly SL
S-Works Epic
All 3 with XX1, Probably just go for some Light Bicycle carbon wheels on all of them, Reverb on the Mojo
Mmmm
TR450, Carbon covert, I might have something made out of adamantium based on my rocket but with ohlins special order suspension front and rear..? 😉 lots and lots of bikes!!!! hand built road bike for defo... Shand, full di2 blah blah blah it'd be ace wouldn't it!
Enigma or Shand custom steel rigid specific 29er with a Rohloff and with the option of a Gates belt drive.
One of these, obviously.
Gold plated, costs: 80k

A big turnip in the country
Carbon Enduro/ Yeti SB66c/ carbon Bronson.
Retrobikes!
A nice Klein would be on the list for sure!
Anyone else win ?
😀
( I'm still trying to work out what to spend my £8.80 on )
I love the bikes I have - it would be great not to have to work and have the time to ride them more.
Having said that, two ti hard tails, built to fit me. One with a Rohloff hub, one with derailleur gears.
A trike.
Haven't checked, so I'm still a Schrödinger-millionaire. Assuming I've won, I'll be buying:
* A disc brake road bike with DI2 shifting. Carbontastic.
* A 70s classic so I can do L'Eroica.
* Some kind of full bouncy Santa Cruz or Orange or Yeti or something.
* And a full rebuild of my Kobe, she really needs a bit of TLC which I can't afford right now 🙁
