Goldgenie the London-based luxury customizer known for turning everyday tech and accessories into jewelled statements. Grabbed headlines in 2014\u20132015 when it unveiled a full 24-carat Gold Racing Bicycle<\/a><\/strong>. What started as a modest Giant road frame became a gilded objet d\u2019art: frame, rims, spokes, chain, cogs and crank all gleamed like a museum piece. The bike was marketed as a limited-edition luxury item (with optional diamond work), and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most expensive bicycles ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goldgenie <\/a><\/strong>took a production road bike (widely reported as a Giant Defy series aluminium frame) and applied an extensive gold finish to nearly every visible metal surface handlebars, fork, frame, rims, cassette, chain and even the spokes in some photos. Non-metal parts such as tyres and the suede saddle were left in darker tones to provide visual contrast. Some press and company materials also mention bespoke diamond accents as an optional extra for collectors.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
