Don't make a bid by mistake
It worries me that i am physically able to make a bid on this item.
That's quite a chuckle-worthy ad.
Oooh, wait!!

Its got Alivio Cranks....
ah well.. no bid from me then! 8)
The only bike you'd buy and want to be as heavy as possible!
Wouldn't it be too soft?
I was toying with the 'sell one like this' button...
DrP
Well I would but the feedback is rubbish.
Surprised this hasn't just been flogged on the Classifieds.
I was thinking about a bid, then spotted the Avid brakes - seriously?? Sorry, but I'm OOT.
"Frame material: Aluminium"
Wut?
"OWN THIS BIKE TODAY AND RULE THE WORLD IN PEACE TOMORROW!"
In that case, I bid...
...one miiiiiiiiiiiiiillllioon dollars!</pinky>
looks like a big boy's version of this

think I might want it now (and I've never wanted a fat bike)
PHAT
100%of the funds of the sale go to the "Way to happiness foundation"? What? I assume that the way to happiness foundation is some either some bizarre pyramid selling scheme or a thinly disguised cult to make something stupidly rich?
I think it's part of the joke. Well I hope so!

There not even hydraulic
The way to happiness is a "Scientology-related entity". Nuff said 😆
Not gold plated, but pretty niche. Recumbent pedicab on Craigslist!

So, it's a Surly Salsa or a Salsa Surly - is that because of the fat tyres?
It's rather impressive.
Its an xl frame.
Dammit!
I almost pressed on the buy it now button but then I saw it was described as a 'steed'
tossers.
😆 at bike.
😈 at scientology
Half a million dollars for a gold plated bike with below average parts in XL.
Who could resist.
Looks like someone with a plater trying to fill the quite times between gold plating lexus badges.
No returns accepted !! What if it's to big for me ?
Thankyou dvatcmark,that is beyond awesome.
Who wouldn't pack a zombie killing cross bow (just incase)
I think it even has 26"wheels 🙂
I will nip down to halfords tomorrow and if they have a diamond encrusted rack for my whip, I will take it .

Seats are genuine big foot.
I notice that even the disks are gold plated..... that should be interesting.
If Elizabeth Duke did fatbikes...
Nasty nasty nasty...
I'm tempted to buy it, and then demand a refund on the basis of 'goods not as advertised'
Because half way down the ad, it says 'own this bike today, and rule the world in peace tomorrow'
So, despite the fact it's the wrong size and too heavy, the promise of world domination without needing to resort to unsavoury behaviour has me hovering over the buy it now button. Seems like a no lose situation?
Will m&s cover it on my contents? I don't think I've had to declare any of my others individually.
This listing is restricted to pre-approved buyers only. Email the seller to be placed on that pre-approved list.
So... has anyone tried getting themselves on this 'pre-approved list' then..?! 😆
It appears to be a bargin from its original price. 50% off! I'm in.

Oh hold on, he's making 13, not exclusive enough for me... But.his shoe laces will go well in my 5:10's
Come on folks,it's for a good cause.
[i]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.[/i]
The saddle looks like something a bear has curled out.
ABOUT YOU
Whether you are a Viking warrior traversing the icy tundra or a veiled rider making a conquest of the rippling sand dunes of the Middle East, this golden steed shreds the roughest terrain while making the most commanding statement possible.
I'm neither, I'm an overweight middle manager from Surrey wondering if this bike will make my trips round Swinley more fun.
So for that reason, I'm out.
its like the bike of choice for Saddam Hussein or Colonel Gaddafi.
My irony meter has just exploded

That saddle!

I've got one just like that bike.
Just think, for the price of around an ounce of gold and a bit of electroplating, it too could be worth £500,000.
Shame I don't have the DIY skills.
Tell you what, I'll sell it to one of you chaps for only £100,000 and you can plate it and sell it for £490,000 and make a huge profit.
