Do you ride your "dream bike?"
There are threads asking what peoples' dream bikes would be...I want to hear from people who are already riding their dream bike...please include a pic.
Im riding a 2011 6 series Madone with ultegra, Reynolds Strikes, selle SMP saddle, Easton Equipe Pro bars...and I can honestly say there isnt one thing I would change.
(OK Im a bit of a wheel w-hore, so various wheelsets might apply
)
HOW ABOUT YOU?

Throw the stick!!!!
I'm pretty happy with mine, it is certainly my dream bike. However, I do occasionally cheat on her in my dreams, don't tell.

I currently have seven bikes, and the stable seems to change up frequently, but this is the one I'll have forever, and never quite feel worthy of - my seven Axiom, full Dura Ace 7800, Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLs with GP4000s, FSA K Wing Compact carbon bars. Can't believe it can get much better than this:

I have two, an oldie and a newie. The oldie was custom made for me at Holdsworths in London when I was 16, a 1973 Xmas present from mom and dad. They bought my older sister a new car and were feeling guilty. It had the best of everything at the time including a Record group. The newie is a Cyfac Le Mythique as ridden in the TdF, also with a Record group. I ride them both frequently, but have a few others as well.

I was riding a hybrid for a while. The CAAD 10 became my dream bike and now I have it. 
Quite satisfied for my level of riding skill. Maybe in a few years I'll have a new dream bike but no upgrade-itis for now.

I ride a version of my dream bike, especially since I put on Ergonovas in place of the Rotundos. It's an S-Works with Campagnolo and 3T, but nowhere near nice enough to call a dream setup. Maybe if I had a Tarmac or Roubaix S-Works with Chorus, 3T Team parts instead of the Pro stuff and some Fulcrum Racing 3s or Shamals I'd call it a dream bike. I don't even want the top end stuff. Just in that "90% performance, 50% cost" range.

Nope, I don't.
She's too pretty to ride, so I just look at it lovingly when I'm sitting on the couch. I don't have network or cable TV, but I do have my Masi. <3
