Wallpaper has brought out two new ranges of limited edition bikes. The interesting part about these bikes is that they can be broken up into pieces, and packed in a customized bag. That means that you can actually take your bicycle anywhere you want! How cool is that! Specialists from all over the world were called to make these special bicycles. There were people who specialized in frame making, designing, painting, saddle making, leather carving etc.
The result is quite unsurprisingly amazing. The first model is the International bike that is the result of a collaboration with US-Japanese operation Kinfolk (frame design), Coat (paintjob), Brooks (leather saddles) and Nivaldo de Lima (the carry bag). There are two models of this International bike: a dark blue 54cm frame is available at £2,450 and the other one with light blue 58cm frame comes for £3,000. The cost does not include shipping. The City bike on the other hand is available for £1,255 plus shipping.
The City bike has been designed by Shiko Matsuda of Level and the paintjob has been done by Fuji Kogyo. The craftsmenship makes a huge difference in the quality of the product, and this one boats of being made by the best that is there. So must be quite the bike!
