Rasmus Gjesing has just designed a gold-zinc painted bicycle for men and hopes to provide options for those men who are tired of riding bicycles meant for the masses. Targeted at the elite Danes, The Killer bicycle comes with aluminium bars and is made of steel. It also has a Brooks leather seat and looks amazingly gorgeous with all the zinc plate and flashy gold appearance.
