At €80,000, (that’s just over £60,000 or USD118,000) each bike is hand-built and gold-plated with 24-carat gold, then 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, to be displayed as a work of art. We assume 10 of these will be made too…

For that price, I'd expect some brakes!

@ ccal- its a fixie, according to the Aurumania website.
I think its a shame they didn't plate the chain.

On the 5th picture, the crystals spell "Aurumania" in braille.

Ah, finally a bike for those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Unfortunately they have all just lost their jobs.

You'd think that for £60k they would build a good looking bike.
