Montante/Maserati - very pretty!
Discussion
This from a press release today - anyone sorely tempted at £3k-ish? (Not that Mrs-R would allow it...)
Unique details and an exclusive design for the new limited-edition bike made by Montante Cicli for Maserati
The new Montante for Maserati 8CTF was designed to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Wilbur Shaw’s victory of the 500 miles of Indianapolis behind the wheel of a Maserati 8CTF.
The Sicilian company, famous for the amazing bikes it produces, has teamed up with Maserati in order to deliver a product which embodies the excellence and the Italian style from both brands.
The Montante for Maserati 8CTF is produced in a limited edition of just 200 pieces individually numbered. Montante for Maserati bicycles are made-to-measure to fit the rider perfectly. As sizes vary from person to person it is important, when purchasing the frame, to choose the perfect size.
The 8CTF model, a single speed bicycle, comes from one of Montante’s original designs which made it one of the leading industries in the field.
Developed and produced by Montante Cicli in Italy, the Maserati 8CTF is embellished by unique and distinctive details: the silver Trident on a grey background on the hubs are inspired by the Maserati’s supercharged three-litre engine; the Maserati logo in a Thirties’ style on the frame reprises the metallic plate identifying the car’s chassis; the enamelled oval is a faithful reproduction of the one on the car’s bonnet.
And last but not least the number 1 is the same as the one featured on Shaw’s car with which he won, twice in a row, the world’s most famous American race. From the Montante-Maserati collaboration, a new bicycle has been produced for all the admirers of the Trident Marque.
Notes for editors:
Montante Cicli, one of the most prestigious bicycle brands, was founded by Calogero Montante in the 1920s. Innovation and quality were and still are the main characteristics of these Italian bicycles. The Montante Cicli racing team was created at that very time, and took part in national and international competitions and helped Montante achieve its current status. Montante also became the official bicycle supplier of the Italian Army. Montante’s unstoppable success turned its bicycles into real objects of cult, expression of timeless Italian elegance on two wheels.

An utter joke for that money. Why, oh why do car companies keep collaborating with bike manufacturers? They're all universally s
t and overpriced.
As said the front disc brake is out of place, not to mention the stupidity of having a BMX style lever on track drops which are curved in such a way as to make them horrible to use with your hands within reach of the brake. Add to that the fact that it has track grips so you'll be riding on cold, slippy chrome bars.
And I don't think I've ever seen a coloured chain look good on a bike.
