Blinged-Out Bicycle
J.LAVERACK
ASTON MARTIN .1R
Billed as the most bespoke bike ever produced, the .1R is a beautiful marriage of Aston Martin's engineering power and the cycling finesse of British titanium bike specialist J.Laverack. The frameset takes 515 hours of CNC machining to create and has been designed to have no visible bolts, screws, or attachments. It combines titanium lugs with carbon-fiber tubes, so every stem has been 3D-printed to the rider's exact measurements. It also boasts the world's first integrated brake calipers. Any exposed carbon fiber uses the same herringbone pattern as on the Aston Martin Valkyrie-or you can tell the configurator to dunk the whole thing in glossy Magneto Bronze paint, as in this example.

Made from curved steel tubes and textile or leather slings, it remains an icon of modernism.
