I love everything about that bike... except the wheelset. It deserves much better. I think it needs something silver and box section, but expensive.

Mine, at the moment is Tommasini Techno, I leave Sintesi for a lighter rider. Cinelli XCr is pretty sweet, but a bit pricey, Colnago masters look as good as tommasinis but not as rare, and frame costs more.
Here is the same kind of thread in classic section, sorry for lack of uniqueness.

So, looking through this thread i have noticed alot of bikes from smaller manafacturers, i still think that my FP3 is the best looking bike in the world.
What about this, would you buy a great looking bike but with say, 105s, or get an ok bike with super records or dura-ace?

Well I just bought a Ridley Noah...prior to buying this my dream bike was my current LOOK 595 team in white..Record build with 3t Ergosum Team bars and ARX stem..K-Force Lite cranks Reynolds KOM's 13.5lbs. I'm really starting to dig the Ridley and I may sell the LOOK frameset and get a Helium..that would get me down into the mid to high 12lbs...

I blew my wad early in life and have been living my dream since. I drooled over my dream bike for years while I was a junior racer, making $4.35/hr bagging groceries. Then I left for the killbot factory and was completely bowled over to see that it was still there when I came home a year later on Xmas leave. If the frame hadn't cost $1100, someone surely would have bought her, and my dream would never have come true.
I've ridden her for nearly half my life now and just recently refurbished and dressed her in finery from Ebay:

A better groupset and better wheels contribute more to performance, imho. A good frameset contributes a lot, but unless it's a real p.o.s. it doesn't contribute as much as a great wheelset and the perfect shifting that the top-of-the-range groups offer.

Yea, I'd like one too. Lol. 
To be serious, my dream bike is a Trek Madone 6 with DuraAce. Haven't finished completing it yet on Project One yet so I don't know what the other specs will be. I know it doesn't have the glory of some of the other bikes but comparing to my 1.2...
