Sports car maker Spyker Cars has introduced the Aeroblade, a custom-built titanium bicycle, unveiled last week.
As you'd expect, it has Spyker cues and colours including the spoke design and logos. The Aeroblade will be produced as a limited edition series of 50 bicycles, each one specifically built for its owner and individually numbered.
Described as "sporty yet comfortable", the hand-built bike's features include:
- Titanium frame
- Aluminium front fork, wheel set
- Mudguards from aluminium covered carbon composite
- Hulshof luxury leather handle bar grips and saddle
- Special version of the Rohloff 14 speed hub gear transmission.
Optional elements include a choice of wheels (special Aeroblade wheels or standard), pedals and leather colours.
Spyker's blurb reckoned that "the construction and geometry of the frame and the effectiveness of the drive train leave the performance of the bike unrestricted".
Including the optional Aeroblade wheels, the bike costs €10,500 excluding VAT (about £7,000). From January, you can order the bike through the Koga specialist distribution channel, the worldwide Spyker dealer network or directly from Koga and Spyker Cars in The Netherlands. Deliveries of the bike are expected to start by May 2006.
Koga Miyata produces top-end bicycles both for the passionate amateur cyclist as well as for the professional racing cyclist. Its professional customers include many international World and Olympic champions.
On yer bike! On the other hand, at this time of year...
