I quite like the look of the Paris Roubaix, and the Tour, OK I will probably never get to the standard to ride the real one, but I like the idea of going out close to the race and riding ahead of it along all of the route.
Going to flog one of the mtn bikes as I don't really use it, if I can get a decent price for it, I think I will invest in a rear disk and deep section front wheel for the time trial bike, and maybe aero chainrings.
Of course there's no point in buying all the gear unless I start doing the training to deserve it again.
I am thinking hmm single speed fixed as well, but I don't think I have the room or the funds at the moment. Want a turbo trainer bike too, but I am guessing I don't have the space for that. I have a cracked frame from the winter bike, and did wonder about building some sort of setup by integrating it into the turbo trainer. Then I also have a spare hardtail frame and forks with enough bits to rebuilt it into a whole bike too...
