Most expensive bicycles in the world

  • Ron 

People might be surprised when they hear about the most expensive bicycles in the world. A bicycle is just not something that a lot of people regard as expensive. People will buy bicycles for their children. A bicycle is a popular Christmas present. People rode bicycles during the nineteenth century. Many middle class people will buy bicycles for exercise, and they might commute to work with them. A bicycle is regarded as a much less expensive alternative to a car. Some of these bicycles cost vastly more than a car.

Phanuel Krencker’s ‘Bicyclettes de Luxe’ models are not even the most expensive bicycles that people will find today, and they still cost nearly 35 thousand dollars apiece. A semester of college will almost always cost less than that. People will spend less than that on a year of college, in fact, even at expensive private schools. However, some people are just that interested in the unique engineering of a bicycle like this.

The Montante Luxury Gold Collection models cost ten thousand dollars more than the Phanuel Krencker’s ‘Bicyclettes de Luxe’ models, even though it is truly hard to tell by looking at them. These bicycles look fairly simple from the outside, in fact, and that can make it seem like they should not be all that expensive. The fact that this is a bicycle that is partly made with gold leaf should be enough to give people an idea of where the money went.

Many people will actually like the plush leather that they will be able to use for cushioning on the bicycle seat, of course. The Montante Luxury Gold bike is very much the definition of a luxury bike. It isn’t really a model of engineering, but it is a fancy bike that can easily advertise the wealth of the person who rides it.

Some people will want to buy the Trek Madone 7 Diamonds bike just because Lance Armstrong used it. He was able to win the Tour de France with a bike like this, and a lot of people might feel that they will be able to get ahead with their own goals when they have a bike like this. The Trek Madone 7 Diamonds bike literally costs 75 thousand dollars, so the people who can afford this bike might already have accomplished a lot.

Since this bike has embedded genuine diamonds, people might not necessarily realize what they are getting the moment that they look at the bike. The manufacturing costs went to the formation of the bike itself as well as the diamonds, apparently, and the diamonds are actually fairly hard to see.

Still, the Trek Butterfly Madone bicycle is the most costly bike in the whole world at 500 thousand dollars. It’s a somewhat gaudy looking bike, which is to be expected for a bike with such a shockingly large price tag. Many people will never even see such a large sum of money. The idea of spending it all on a bike is alarming. Still, it shows that prices are relative.
