Retail brand SikSilk recently released this limited edition bicycle design made from a slew of precious metals. The bicycle comes with a modern monochromatic aesthetic that is elegantly complemented with a luxurious frame.

The SikSilk [limited edition aluminum fixed gear bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twospeed-folding-bike) is a stylish ride for commuters to own. This bike is made from a high-quality [black steel frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821) coupled with a nickel and copper plated aluminum seat post and wheel forks. The contrast of the black frame with the rose gold copper detailing is striking and makes for a luxurious ride. The SikSilk bike also comes with a innovative front wheel that visually differs from the back wheel. Rather than having the traditional spokes, the front wheel has a three-pronged axel to add an artistic look to this bike design.
