24k gold fixed gear bicycle!
Aurumania took a page out of the Damien Hirst handbook and built ten 24k gold plated track bikes. If that wasn’t enough they stuck 600 Swarovski crystals on each one. Price tag: $102,418.60 USD. What’s with the rubber tires? They better be made outta some extinct whale blubber or I ain’t buying it!

Poseur.
doesn’t this go against the current concept(s) fueling the fix gear fascination?
which is living simply and minimally, lowering the environmental impact?
this is an honest question, not a rhetorical one.
Eco-friendly bling haha crazy
tyler: it DOES go against the original concepts fueling the fixie fascination, but i think it is an indicator of where those concepts got lost within to past year or so: the fixed appeal is now largely one of fashion, rather than of utility.
anyway, goodness gracious me. i saw a similar (albeit more pedestrian) rig in the window of vozz last spring, confirming my suspicions that something of this level of extravagance was now a possibility.
hahah its just so ridiculous i can’t even comprehend it. i’m not surprised but maybe that’s worse.. the fact that i’m not surprised.
I’m happy with my purple and gold spray paint job on my fixie.
That is absolutely insane! Wire Damien Hirst’s diamond skull on the front and you’d have one killer ride! -B
Upon further thought, think I’ll hold out for the platinum/diamond version (vs this low-end gold/swarovski version)… -B
really? no gold chain? all that money and i don’t get a gold chain?
I wouldn’t be able to park this in any public places, as someone would probably steal it. It should come with a cheap, beaten-up cover or something.
thats messed, pretty pointless… hmm maybe kanye can ride it? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/2119183410_7544f874b9.jpg
Already been done years ago. bmx wins.
for 100k you should at least get a cinelli supercorsa or something, not gold-plated 4130.
….because they can! And I thought I was breaking the rules by building a fixie on a carbon frame from the 90s instead of a steel lugged beast from the 80s. But this takes it.
Damn! Now that’s what I call a fixed gear bike. It even has a Brooks saddle. Those things might as well be made of solid gooooooold!
LOL. What an irony. The FAMs got a taste of their own medicine.
There goes Damien Hirst jumping on something else again, this fucking sucks.
