Can my all-conditions commuter also be my gravel bike (not that I commute now)? If not, I'll have an Albannach Torragar.

The custom Ti bikepacking bike is already in the garage.

Oh and a house big enough to comfortably have a full size snooker table
This makes me so happy. As a kid all I ever wanted was a snooker table. I genuinely watched Hurricane Higgins in black and white.

Size?
I wasn't being that serious, but will probably sell the frame in a couple of months. PM if interested. It's size M, a first gen Muru Witjira. I still have the original geo numbers.

Dream trip requires an adequate bike. Easy.
Best justification for stuffing the house full with gear.

And one of those nice BMC carbon softails with a Lauf fork on it.
If you have a friend who sells them and used to race them himself, you may not be wanting one. The black rubber - for complicated reasons I simply can't call it's name - in the seatstay has a very short lifespan and looses it's inital properties fast, leaving you with a knocking and loose sensation.
This is not a concern to me (and my already loose back end) Gian - as money is no object I'll just buy another. Tell your mate he's going to be doing a lot of business. :cool:
