Forget your titanium, this is the latest bike to be seen on around town :D "This 24 carat gold bicycle, commissioned by the UK's Environmental Transport Association, is on sale for £9,500. It has an optional extra of a security guard, as bicycles over £4,000 cannot be insured." Linky (goto picture 6)

Not the first time it's been done, Ernesto Colagno made 2 gold bikes to celebrate the visit of the Pope to Mexico (I think it was Mexico anyway). One of them found it's way onto ebay recently - asking price $250,000

The Colnagos were probably pretty fancy, even without the gold. This on the other hand is a pretty basic Charge Plug. Seems bizarre to me.
