If I had the money, a Bianchi Oltre or Wilier Zero.7.

 

But I am very happy with my yellow BMC SLX01. I just love it's geometry.

The TCR's were the shizz.

While gooogling a bit of Jalabert wins I came across this page of a few of the greats,

i just read the whole page just to refresh my memory and discover things i did not know. ie Jalabert had a SUPERB season in 95'.

Ok, hyperbole.

 

The UCI even planned to ban Giant’s compact frame – it just looked wrong – until it was pointed out that it would enable dealers to accommodate almost all customers with three stock frame sizes. “I don’t really blame the UCI” – continues Mike Burrows - “but why do the manufacturers let them get away with it?”

 

So, I have one of those, and the plastic bike in storage.
