Ha! My guess is that since it is only gold plated your going to loose the gold from your drive train pretty quickly...?? Maybe Bling should buy this bike.

Where's the pedals?

$400,000 and it doesn't even have pedals.

Photos of bikes with out pedals is getting old.

What's the point? It's a freaking picture... Gold plate them if You want but put some damn pedals on it.

Given that you could plate that entire bike with less than 1 oz of gold the other 398,000 seems steep. How does a thousand dollars worth of gold make a cheap bike worth 400K?

What a great idea, start off with a very ugly bike and then make it both garish and unusable by gold plating it.

Even Jesus face palms at this.

Looks like a base model Giant Defy.

Not a bad mark up.
