This PG Bugatti fixie – a
fixed single-speed bicycle – you will pay US$ 40,000 and PG won’t
let you ride out to show-off to your buddies.
Working together with bicycle designers PG – who
count Orlando Bloom, Lady Gaga, Christoph Waltz and Bryan Adams as customers –
Bugatti has commissioned 667 examples of this carbon-fibre framed fixie,
designed to match the Bugatti Chiron. What sets this bicycle apart is it is
touted to be the lightest bicycle in the world, at below five kg.
Manufacturing of the PG Bugatti is done in Germany
by Bernd Kussmaul, and the rest of the builder’s list reads like a who’s who of
the European bicycle industry, including carbon wheel specialists Lightweight,
component maker THM-Carbones and Schmolke Carbone. The frame of the PG Bugatti
is built by Italian Formula 1 carbon-fibre experts Merelli.
This extends to special paints, carbon-fibre in
various colours and numerous types of leather. The caveat though, as the PG
Bugatti is the “lightest special urban bike in the world”, PG’s websites states
“the special bike is a piece of sports equipment which is not intended to be
used on public roads.”
