I suppose if money were no object, then................ probably still not in honesty.

Err...no! (not even if I had the money).

I thought gold plating things was supposed to be about making flashy things even flashier.

A Brompton could hardly ever be described as 'flashy'.

It's a bit like gold plating a washing machine.

I love my gold plated washing machine. Really adds a little bling to the utility room.

I'm sure there was one of those as a prize in a comp a while back. Didn't enter it, nasty looking thing.

Oh and it's gold.

What is the big lever with the pool ball on then end for? Does it have an 007 style ejector seat or something?

You wouldnt want any cables rubbing a few hundred quids worth off :-)

Right. In Walthamstow. Cycling on a gold plated bike. I would give myself 5 minutes tops before being "relieved" of aforementioned cycle.

Besides, it is truly hideous. And only gold plated. Pah - I want mine in 18 carat pure gold.

No, you weren't, not even a tiny bit, whether in your mouth or down your front.


I particularly like the blurb:-


This really is something special. If you work in the city and commute to work, you've probably heard about the fantastic Brompton folding bike.

Well now you can really make a statement with your own gold version.

Yes, this is gold plated with 24 carat gold! Contact us for more information

Just what your average banker needs just in case we forget where all the money went

It's a 'suicide' shifter of the kind often fitted to custom choppers and such.

Now a gold-plated Mk II Chopper......

I assumed that, but it's not very practical is it, you'd have to reach a long way down to change gear, especially if you were tall.

Hideous. I'll keep my slightly chipped pillar box red, thank you.

Couldn't agree more.
