GOLDGENIE LUXURY BICYCLE
This beautiful bicycle, designed by
Goldgenie, a British luxury label, goes well
beyond ordinary gold flecks. 24K gold is
coated onto every part of the bike, from
the curved handlebars to the gear chain, to
make it shine in the sunlight. It comes with
a soft San Marco black suede saddle and
SR4 racing tyres, but clients who want to
stand out even more can customise their
saddle and handlebars with exotic skins
and premium leathers.

business. Established in 1988 in Vancouver,
Canada, Kona bikes are sold in over 60
