Just found this interesting and wondering what people think about this. Would you buy it?

 

[mi.kay]

Yes, if I'm money laundering.
No, because I'm too broke for this.

 

[Stansy]

I would buy it in a heartbeat! Unfortunately the rates of bike theft in my city are astronomical…

Honestly, my friend makes customized bikes. He's ready to build the same for me, but we all know it won't be real.
It will be just a miserable copy of the original

Stunning! I've always wanted one, though I doubt I'd ever use it.

I cant ride a 2 wheeler (I grew up in central london and my mother was very anti me riding a bike on the street so I never learned )
BUT if they did it as an adult tricycle AND I won the lottery I'd buy it but only to use by the coast.

Yes, but only in my $40M 12,000 square foot mansion overlooking the pacific ocean.

Yes, but only in my $40M 12,000 square foot mansion overlooking the pacific ocean.

Hahah, you mean $140M if it is 12K square feet.

Hahah, you mean $140M if it is 12K square feet.

Nah, I got a good deal on it

I've heard about London road traffic. I see why your mother did that
Learning to ride a bike is not hard though. You can start with a simple bike like this. You'll need just a few hours of practice and you'll be fine.

I have my heart set on an adult tricycle.
I think I have a romantic idea of riding round dressed like mary poppins with a basket on the front containing a pup or a bunch of flowers!

I love everything about this except for the price! It would just feel too precious to me. But, it looks similar to a Pashley I've been wanting for a couple of years. I have a Pashley 3 speed that bascically fine for my needs, but I really want to upgrade to this white Pashley! Maybe for xmas.

Here's the Pashley Aurora I love.

Would it not be more special to have a friend make you a custom bike than an Hermès bike?

 

[annaria]

I’ve had bikes more expensive than this (former cyclist).

The best looking bike i ever seen...
