Yes but its an extremely sexy piece of kit! I do prefer a more classic bike though. My current commuter is a retro steel fixey. The older and more classic the better in my opinion.

google alex moulton and see what a great designer he has been for the last 60 odd years.
he has been a major innovator ( and eccentric ) in the bike and car industry. |

If that's a bit cheap for you, there's this piece of industrial-design-w4nk at a mere $33,000.
Go to their website for some utter toss spouted about the design and manufacturing philosophy
That bent top tube design is especially idiotic- after all, that'll add weight compared to a straight tube. Edited by alstorer - 03 Oct 12 at 1:02pm |

a quick google reveals that it's a designer brand (highly fashionable in Asian markets) and that the lucky bidder will be able to export for around a £20k return to Japanese clients who want to get ahead of the 14 month waiting list at the Moulton factory.
Sounds like a good deal, but I don't know enough about the target destination market to take the punt. Besides if enough folks find out that it's cool and get them, it's no longer cool right?

Not a chance!
That looks like something that's been made in a garden shed with bits from the scrappy (By me! who can't build anything). |

I don't either, it is advertised elsewhere at £16500, I wondered if it was some sort of viral publicity stunt, or an auction spoil attempt on a stolen bike.
