If you were wondering what could be the most obnoxious way to spend your money, here is the answer. You should just get yourself a cycle covered in real 24 carat gold. It would be the right time to buy as your friends and relatives would be wallowing in poverty and recession and you could show them just how obscenely rich you could get. The cycle just does not come covered in 24 carat gold but will also carry more than 600 Swarovski crystals. The cycle was designed by Aurumania and this cycle is meant to be a piece of art work.
The cycle is designed to look like a classic bicycle and in order to maintain the authenticity; the designers have employed classic methods of building a cycle. Only 10 of these limited edition cycles will ever reach the market and the handlebar grips are even chic enough to carry hand-sewn, chocolate brown leather.

The world seems to have endless millionaires despite millions who might not even know how many zeroes comprise a million! Now don’t be surprised if you soon meet an affluent guy boasting of a bike as one of his prized possessions because this bicycle is any thing but ordinary. Gold was always the world’s favorite metal and designers of all sorts keep inventing splendid ideas to play on it. A Scandinavian design company Aurumania has launched a limited edition run of 10 of the world’s most expensive bike. Each bike is hand-built and gold-plated with 24-carat gold, then decorated 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.This “Golden Beauty” would ease you of €80,000.you would love to ride it but its something to flaunt off the track! Being in line with this thought the Company has also created a 24-carat gold wall holder for the bike, to be displayed as a work of art. Go on then and get the Golden Display for your wall, if you are lucky enough to do so, but make sure no one rides away with it!
