"Moulton SPEED Fixed 20" Folding Bike Stainless Steel"

A £7500 product offering and Fudges gets the description wrong.

I am under vague impression the Double Pylon is the most expensive production bike in existence. But I haven't done any sort of search on this.

It is stunning also but can anyone explain its engineering advantage over the £7500 one?

Here is Google's top hits for: most expensive bike in the world

https://most-expensive.net/bicycle

$500k bike

You can buy 10,000Lb of Bromptons at that price. ;-)

I just got my 1964 Moulton F frame together last Sunday. Have already ridden 120 miles. Crack. That bike is crack. Highly addictive and fun. Rich guys should be able to enjoy crack too, but paying more money than me makes them more of a connoisseur and less of an addict.

You'd only get around 65 of these, though.

The golden Brommie must rank up there with the silliest things mankind has done.

I love it, it even has a basket. Please resist all impulses to refurbish it, just keep it running sweetly, and ride it with pride,this is what bicycles are at heart : everlastingly sustainable transport.
