The $14,000 Bianchi by Gucci Urban Bike


I once worked with someone who came from a privileged background & he had no problem flaunting it, or talking about it openly. "Mike," I would ask him (name changed to protect identity). "What's with the expensive threads? Why wear a $1,000 blazer to work?" His answer: "Because I can." Which is precisely the answer I would expect an affluent to give if you were to ask them what possessed them to purchase a $14,000 bicycle. The Bianchi by Gucci features a black carbon fiber frame with the green/red/green color scheme that is quintessential Gucci.  Oh and in case you were actually interested in riding this thing, here are some more specs that may be of interest to you: it weighs a mere 22 pounds, includes 11 speeds, hydraulic disk breaks, water bottle headlights and wheel reflectors.

Must be nice, Mike.  Must be nice....
