Dubai, famously known as the “city of gold,” continues to dazzle with its extravagant displays of opulence. The latest addition to its collection of lavish treasures is a British racing bicycle made entirely of gold.
This magnificent creation, valued at Dh1.5 million, even surpasses the price tag of a Rolls-Royce.
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship:
Crafted by the Riyadh-based Al Romaizan Gold and Jewellery company in Dubai, this exceptional bicycle is a true work of art. It boasts approximately 4 kilograms of pure gold, contributing to its 7-kilogram weight.
A Bicycle Fit for Royalty:
Every inch of this British racing bike, from its drop handlebars to its wheel stays and every component in between, including the gear chain, is meticulously crafted from 24-karat gold.
The bike’s sheer opulence elevates the humble mode of transportation to an entirely new level of luxury.
According to Mohammad Abbasi, the Chief Digital Officer of Al Romaizan, a team of 20 skilled employees spent around six months designing and developing this extraordinary masterpiece.
Notably, this is just the first creation from Al Romaizan, and the bike can be customized with variants of precious metals, including 18K, 21K, 22K, and 24K gold.
A Showstopper at Sharjah Expo:
The golden bicycle made quite the impression when displayed at the Watch and Jewellery Show at the Sharjah Expo. Visitors were captivated by its sheer luxury and craftsmanship.
Al Romaizan Gold and Jewellery plans to exhibit this unique bicycle in one of its flagship stores in Dubai shortly.
While this golden bike is undoubtedly a showpiece, it’s also fully functional, allowing the buyer to enjoy the ultimate luxury riding experience.
Strong Interest from Buyers:
Prospective buyers have already expressed significant interest in acquiring this one-of-a-kind creation. Abbasi mentioned that negotiations with potential buyers are underway, with one deal close to being finalized.
A Touch of Practicality:
It’s important to note that while the bicycle’s frame and various components are made of gold, practical elements such as tires, brakes, seats, and related parts remain standard.
Dubai’s latest golden spectacle, this British racing bicycle, is another testament to the city’s penchant for extravagance and luxury.
