My wife decided she wanted to upgrade her Boardman Roadsport and suggested this as a Christmas gift .... 24ct Gold Road Bike
I think she is joking! Who on earth is prepared to pay Β£250,000 for that.... 1) It is as tacky as hell 2) It costs a quarter of a million pounds 3) I'd imagine it weighs a tidy amount and would be hellish to ride 4) It looks like a Giant Defy 4. Nothing wrong with them, perfectly serviceable entry-level road bike, but it is neither the most desirable or aesthetically pleasing machine ever assembled. If I was so inclined to get a bike slathered in precious metal, it wouldn't be a Giant Defy. It seems like the equivalent of gold plating a base-model Nissan Micra.

At least she's asking for a bike, you just need to change her mind on the colour

As I say, I think she's joking! I quite like her Boardman anyway!

The Italians do this sort of thing with a bit more style
