Custom-built diamond-studded titanium bike worth £10,000

Naveen | Oct 13 2009

The Cycle Show 2009 is closed now, but Digi Foo-Kune will never be able to forget this year’s event for the surprise anniversary gift she got there from her husband. Her hubby took her to the show and surprised her with a custom-built titanium bike, personalized with inset diamonds and 18ct gold parts and trim. Earlier, he had promised to present her with an Enigma frame, but then he secretly went to award-winning jeweler Nicholas James of Hatton Garden to customize the bike to create an unforgettable wedding anniversary gift. The custom bike took months of labor to complete. Unfortunately, she won’t be able to take it out on the open road yet because the bike will be on display at Nicholas James’ showroom in Hatton Garden until the end of December. Foo-Kune’s hubby paid a cool £10,000 for the bike, and it’s truly a work of art that any bike lover with a conscience would appreciate.
