Why? Probably because they can.
Hot on the heels of our popular heavily commented Need Supply Co. x Carytown Bicycle Company post comes news of Gucci’s exclusive line of Bianchi bicycles and cycling accessories. As you’d expect, if you have to ask… In order to save you that indignity, we’ve posted full specs and prices below. My pick? As beautiful as the fixie is and as much as I could use some new winter riding gloves, the winner for me has to be the white helmet with trademark green/red/green racing stripes and integrated glasses. Drop $890 and we can match! Click through for a sample bike- though the whole line (fixie, cruiser, and urban bike) does look to be sold out…
