Along the lines of an Ellis- which I would love to have- I sort of would love an old Rene Herse or Singer or Routens. The thing is that I'd be afraid to ride it. Plus I get all these wild hairs about some part or another. I could just see myself replacing old French or even custom made components for some Suntour or Dura Ace thing... so I don't think I'd deserve a Herse or Singer or Routens. . I see Herses pop up in my size once in a while- but none in my price range.

Since this thread is also kind of a wish list- I would love to get a Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen with cantilever brakes.

Back then, for me, it was a Schwinn Paramountain- the idea was the using the mountain bike to be effectively, a touring bike. In retrospect- it's a good idea, but the wrong frame.

Shortly after this, it was a Trek 620/720. Then it was a 720.

Now it's an Ellis.
