Buy a bike of course! Saw a post this morning on Confessions of a bike junkie about a bike from Aurumania which you can pick up for a sum of €80,000 ($116,127.16)

It certainly has all the features that are important in a new bike:

  • 24k Gold plating … check!
  • Jewel Encrusted Lugs … check!
  • Hand sewn leather handlebar grips … check!
  • Brooks saddle … check!

It’s nice to know on a bike this expensive, they still use a Brooks saddle.  Oh, and if you need a rack for this bike, that option is only €5,000.  I must say though, for all that cash, couldn’t we at least get a few gears?
