Out of a Mukluk? Really? :rolleyes:

I could think of dozens of bikes that would be better candidates for guilding. Plus wouldn't you want to use something a bit lighter to begin with since gold is so damn heavy?

"The House of Solid Gold’s CEO, Mr. Power, announced recently his elation about working closely with The Way to Happiness Foundation International, a global non-profit, non-religious charitable organization whose sole mission is to reverse the moral decay of society by restoring trust and honesty the world over through the publication and widespread distribution of "The Way to Happiness" booklet, a common sense guide to better living. The majority, 90% or more, of the proceeds from the sale of this golden bicycle will go directly to this global organization."

All of this to be achieved by further advancing elitism and luxury consumerist ideals through the gold standard. F*#@ing brilliant, where's my checkbook.

On the plus side, $2000 for a fatbike now looks like a bargain in comparison. I wonder who would possibly buy such a monstrosity?
