Bicycles are more than just a sporty gadget that are ecofriendly and available for anyone: For fans of the Tour-de-France or the Giro d'Italia, the racing bicycle is in the center of more than a century of history of heroic legends and athletic top performances. On the other side, the fans of the more robust bicycle have let the Mountain bike live up a golden era during the 90's - with its funky colouring and individual single parts, that have become real collector's items today. This collection displays the bicycle as a style icon in all its facets and technical developments: ranging from the futuristic carbon bicycle to the aesthetic racing bicycle classic and the luxurious unique bicycle made of gold and diamonds.
