I'm only jealous if it's 1) Made entirely of carbon fiber, not aluminum with carbon seat stays. 2) Got Red or DA, 3) Maybe a Dogma ?.
Let's see if these terms are understood by the poor lighting folks hangin' round these parts.
Care to expand my mind?
...assuming it also came with the buttons Blind, Delete, Hang, Capture, and Learn; all of which controlled actors.
Well Corbet was headed in the right direction and I took a stab that PaulP's "bike" was a true bicycle.
The current high end series of road and mt. bikes are made entirely of carbon fiber. It's not unusual for the really expensive models to additionally have carbon handlebars, stems, cranks (front gears), rear derailer (shifting mechanism), as well as seat post and parts of the seat, pedal and shifter/brake levers. You can even get bottle cages - the things that hold a water bottle on the frame, in carbon, as well as carbon bike pumps.
Red and DA refer to the component groups that make up the drive train, with Red being the top of the line road group (groupo) from SRAM and DA being DuraAce, the top of the line groupo from Shimano.
Dogma refers to the Pinarello Dogma, which is the top of the line road bike from the Italian manufacturer of the same name. Roughly a $6,000 dollar bike, which believe it or not, is not the most expensive bike out there, but this model is considered to be a fine example of an off-the-shelf (not custom built for the user) bicycle.
As one might suspect, this is my other passion, though I don't have a Dogma. Not even a Dog.

I am familiar with the practice of using carbon fiber in bike frames.
Shimano, really! Campagnolo is where its at.
I second that opinion.
