Owlscrying Posted October 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Scandinavian design company Aurumania has launched a limited edition run of the world's most blinged-up bike. At just over £60,000, each Gold Bike Crystal Edition is believed to be the most expensive bicycle ever made. Each of the ten produced, is hand-built and gold-plated with 24-carat gold, and decked out with over 600 Swarovski crystals. Hand-sewn leather grips and a Brooks leather saddle provide finishing touches to the bike, with each limited edition number embossed with gold leaf and set into a leather badge onto the bike's headtube. The company has also created a 24-carat gold wall holder for the bike, so it can be displayed as a work of art. go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__Kratos__ Posted October 2, 2008 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2008 At just over £60,000, each Gold Bike Crystal Edition is believed to be the most expensive bicycle ever made. No it isn't... One of the bikes in the Olympics was over a million dollars. Million Dollar Olympic Bicycle So Specialized "No Ordinary Person Could Ride It" (link) The bike here doesn't fit my tastes, I can't see using all that for a bike just to look at. Some people just have too much money... Instead of wasting it on a bling bike, they should donate to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just have too much money... Instead of wasting it on a bling bike, they should donate to me Good call... however the raw materials alone of the "bling bike" would have set it at a higher cost, I suspect. The human capital combined with the high stakes demand for the Olympic bike were undoubtably the two factors carrying the million dollar price tag. edit: As an after thought, that really just makes the Olympic bike that much more profitable Edited October 2, 2008 by crtDzyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
