Identify the frame or the bicycle.

I always come back to the group with pleasure because I know there are many people (I still have a crush on Bianchigirl from whom I can get detailed information regarding my questions. That's why today, I brought the bicycle in the picture for a simple analysis. I want to give it to another cycling enthusiast who can upgrade it more than I did. The conclusion is that some friends who have seen the bicycle have told me that it's a common fake. I wouldn't go that far myself, so I'm asking you because no matter how much I've searched, I haven't found any reliable information about this model. Thanks,

If this is a fake, you'd think there'd be more of them out there. And therefore easy to google up. I'm guessing you are hoping Lamborghini will reply to your inquiry email you sent them.

Cannot find anything like your bike ... at least not easily ... and since I am unpaid labor .... good luck.

It is a beautiful bike though.

If it's a fake, they sure did go to a lot-o-trouble with the indented areas for the shield shaped logos.
Even on top of the (custom) one piece bars.

Very interesting bike you have there.

Yeah, it never occurred to me that it was a "fake" .... a fake what? With all the sculpting in that frame and fork it is a work of art. That was Not a cheap or simple frame to make or to buy, I'd wager (not really .....)

Nothing new. One day in 2015 I went to a bunch of car dealers in Chengdu. 2 of them had these kind of special branded bikes. Porsche was one.
$10,000 to $20,000 is nothing unusual now. Not sure why. Bikes are treated like poor dirt there now.
The cars were $180,000 to $250,000. LOL

It is a very cheap bike that someone branded for Lamborghini. Yes it has some shaped tubes but it is cheap parts. They wanted it to appear semi-premium to match the branding on it but if you look up close it is cheap stuff. Maybe it was done for Lambo, Jeep and GMC Denali and other brands have done this sort of stuff where a bike has their name and logo on it but it is wally-mart quality or close to it.

I'm wondering if the flares and gussets are even metal, or just foam and body filler over the original tubing?

Geometry looks.... interesting. Dressed up like a track bike over 70's boom wheelbase and head tube angles.

And , if you know your carrozzarie, you'd know you're much more likely to find a Bertone crest than Pininfarina on something from Sant'Agata

The number of Lambo shields on the bike is a joke. Whether fake or a cheap marketing stunt, it certainly isn’t classy!

It’s not uncommon for sports car manufacturers to put their branding on bikes and they are usually a bit naff, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a genuine Lambo promotion.

Authentic or fake, it's a real piece of eye-candy.

I will take it off your hands for the price of shipping. Do you provide a warranty?

A brand new Kent Thruster from wally-mart is $108 and has brakes front and rear and is kind of overpriced for the quality. This looks a little better-ish and you have some logos on it that some people who don't know what they are looking at might pay a little more for but missing a rear brake so take that into consideration. I wouldn't pay much for it. If I were taking in at the shop I would probably do $25 in trade in because a co-worker would probably want it and I would be nice and just give it to them as a gift. However I am thinking of it from a shop perspective and not as an individual.

Maybe just stick it on ebay with a $50 reserve and see if anyone values the branding enough to pay more.
