If this bike isn't something to lust over, then what?

If you don't like cyclocross then you would lust over it. Nice looking bike but I prefer

Or any number of other freeride bikes

Numbered from 001 to 0035, the 001 model will be exhibited at Giant Inc. in Taiwan, whilst 007 already has its destination decided as well - the UK, where a James Bond fanatic will become the proud owner.

Yech. Aside from the fact that gold plating is almost always ugly, telegraphing the message "I'm trying to look classy but I just don't know how," who would want a bike that's not intended to be ridden? Who would lust after such a bike, other than people who like to hang unusual things on their walls?
No thanks.

i'm sorry, but there is no bike uglier than that banshee freeride bike...i think that in general, freeride bikes are hideous because that long travel rear shock distorts the whole look of the bike
