While quite worthy of a Kinetic(Mis)Shift the new “Only the Brave Bicycle” is indeed one only for those brave enough to be caught dead riding it. The bike, which was reviewed recently by Wired.com, is the result of a collaboration between clothing company Diesel and bicycle maker Pinarello.
As Wired noted, it features something that has become all too common in hipster friendly fixies, namely odd-colored wheels, but this one takes it a step further and mismatches them to boot. We also don’t get the bent frame either… maybe that is to make it look like it was already in a crash, and thus matches the pre-worn jeans for its urban dweller rider.
And then there is the kicker… namely the price. While there is no shortage of fixies in all price ranges, this one comes in at $1,200, which is a lot of money for an aluminum frame bike that just says “fail” all over it. It also seems that Wired isn’t the only ones that think this bike is an eyesore. The “negative” reviews are piling up.
