If you‘re still stuck for a valentines present for the cyclist in your life, perhaps you should be looking at a big and pointless gesture. For example you could take an average-looking (but nicely made) fixie and spend thousands of pounds covering it in exquisite leather. Make sure it’s all hand stitched and perfect and just be absolutely sure that’s what your partner meant when they asked for something exciting involving leather this Valentines.
One (and I think it may not be the only one) of the problems with this bike could be the very leather it’s covered in. The water buffalo hide might increase your risks of being attractive to passing big cats as you ride to work. If this does happen, and you find yourself under attack from, say, a leopard (as in the cat, not a member of the Schleck brothers cycling team) then I would advise you take advice and possibly some lessons from this guy. Your bike might just be your best weapon to defend yourself with.
All in all it seems safer just to leave the bike at home hanging on the wall, which is, let’s face it, almost exactly all whoever buys it was planning anyway.
