$160,000 Fixed Gear
Maybe an graphic design activity. maybe a test of people's intelligence.

How would you lock it? I guess you could technically just walk into the store you just showed up to, buy it, then shoe everyone out and lock your bike inside.

just how fast do you think they'd jack the parts, or at least strip the diamonds off if it's ever left out on the street.

When you are a billionaire, this is just another piece of art you hang on the wall. Pocket change. It certainly isn't a bicycle for the rest of us. Criticizing this bike is like criticizing a painting.

WTF. Obviously you wouldn't want to ride that, so what's the point?

youd' have to be smoking crack to buy that bike. 160k is literally a fleet of almost any desirable bike that is out there

I'm going to wait until I see a used one on Craigslist. 100K is my absolute limit, including accessories.

First time you took it out for a test-ride, it would be poetic justice to get run over by a Lamborghini.

um, no... not at all. 330k will get you some damn fine paintings that won't depreciate in value. this bike isn't worth anything and never will be.
