$100,000 Bicycles

Gold-Plated Aurumania Bike Has 600 Swarovski Crystals

— February 25, 2009 — Luxury
This limited edition 24 carat gold plated bike with Swarovski Crystals is the world’s most expensive. Created by Aurumania, the 600 crystals are hand set on the completely hand built bicycle. Other details include leather wrapped handles, a Brooks leather saddle seat and each bike is numbered.

So, how does one park a gold and crystal bike? On a gold bike rack, of course! You want one? Well, it’ll cost you! Each crystal and gold bike is $102,418.60 USD. And if the ‘bling’ is a bit much for you, they have 50 gold plated bikes without the crystals for a mere $26,791.83 USD.
