Default One Blinged Out Bike

This bike is expensive. Like $102,418 expensive. Why? Because some
fool has plated it with 24 carat gold and more than 600 Swarovski
crystals. Who's the fool? A company by the name of Aurumania who's
making 10 of these blinged-out bikes. Why? Not to ride but as works of
art. Although some other fool--wealthy enough to plunk down the 100K
for one--will probably take if for a spin. Sheesh.

It even has the canonical slanted brain-damaged hipster saddle. Oh
joy. I hope for the huckster's-- excuse me, _artist's_-- sake, that
there are at least ten brain-damaged Saudi hipsters who are into
"track" bikes.

fing don't know art from squat- nothing quite as beautiful as an older
colnago or pinarello.. that"art bike" is probabally a way of shipping
weapons grade plutonium or something.
