Completes ... would you? Dream bikes?

Easy one this... Mine would be Peregrine Craig LePage. Would need to be be full spec and dripping in shiny chrome Peregrine parts throughout! My one and only true grail bike.

I've never bought a complete and don't think I would, even if money wasn't an issue, where's the fun in that?

Half the pride in looking at a complete you've built yourself is seeing the products of your imagination stream through it.

I had a good think about this Ant. For me buying an old school complete, if it is not meant to be a rider and fairly cheap too, I wouldn't buy a complete tbh. Mainly because I enjoy restoring parts so much.
Although doing propper builds these days has become way more difficult and maybe even more unpleasant, due to the all various but well known reasons, I would always prefer to build a bike I'd like to have.

Dream bikes? Well, I have a lot by now that I could dream of but I'm very sure there will be some added in the future.
At the moment (in no particular order) :

- '86 CW California Freestyler
- Hutch Trickstar I
- Hutch Hollywood
- a lovely GT race bike (...have seen so many different models that look just killer)
- Jamis Laser (Freestyler - forgot the name though)
- Kuwahara Magician

...the list could go on and on, but considering I would have the cash and the opportuninty to get my hands on one of these (still beeing in original colour), I wouldn't have the heart to change it to favorit colour though.

I must admit a custom built bike never really does seem to feel your own when bought complete, unless a full spec bike then a guess it matters not either way.

I’ve bought custom completes more than a few times, I usually end up stripping them, keeping the framset and starting the build again.
