Pretend money or availability was no object, and build a "dream" bike using your favorites parts and pieces from any manufacturer. Kind of the ultimate Frankenbike.

I'll go first:;) My dream bike would be comprised of a CWC frame and tank, the big, fat 50's Monark fenders, the smaller Shelby Air-Flo chainguard, an Evans Harley Earl designed rack, a Good Year double Eagle springer fork, CWC bars and gooseneck fork, Schwinn B-6 train headlight, S-2 rims, and sweetheart sprocket, Persons teardrop pedals and saddle with crash bar, jeweled bottle neck grips, and Carlisle Lightning Darts.

A big, plush cruiser. I'd go either black or maybe dark red and cream two tone.

What would you build?
 
Man, I hate to say it but my dream bike includes no vintage!
I'm not the guy to DESTROY art, and sadly, I tear stuff up!
I want a Merlin. An old first year one. that I saw at the Chicago Interbike in 1988?
They didn't have time to polish, had all the discoloration at the welds, I still think about that patina!
The rest of the bike would be fallout, Rohloff hubs, discs, carbon fiber rims, yup yur getting the idea, expensive!

This is my dream bike. The only problem I'm scared I'll crack the frame if I ride it much.
