That makes me want to straight up shit in my mouth, for real.
I think that has been in the works for a very long time. It's a standard bianchi pista painted yellow, with a new saddle.

NO IT'S NOT - DON'T YOU SEE YOU FOOLS!!!! IT'S A SMALLER BIKE, PAINTED FASHIONABLE COLOURS AND HAS A SUEDE SEAT - IT ALSO DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM NON-TRADITIONAL SOURCES. It's fucking excellent and no-one on here will see the genius of it. Where's my bank card to spend £2,500 on a £500 bike and the hope that I too can own it in green...

Looking cool costs money. The more money you spend the cooler you are. This is like £2500 worth of cool ie ice cold!

i've done freelance work at acne's pr agency and ridden that bike around the office. i thought it was a nice bike, but the parts were pretty average. meh, whatever. i wouldn't pay £2500 but if someone gave it to me, i'd gladly ride it.

both the acne bikes are nice colours, but as other people have said you can get a nice colour for a lot cheaper...
As if Duffy the vampish music killer wasn't enough. The ex bought the Torygraph today and flicking through the magazine I found that were we to purchase items from Acne Studios we could buy the following:
It seems that "Some of the more interesting new designs in urban cycling are, perhaps not surprisingly, emerging from non-traditional sources. One of the latest to catch our eye is the product of a collaboration between Jonny Johansson, creative director behind Swedish denim/design firm Acne, and Italian bike manufacturers Bianchi. It’s a head-turning exercise in classic Italian styling with a fashionable twist. The female frame, based on Bianchi’s Pista model, is shaped like a traditional men’s bike only smaller, complemented by a soft suede seat and available in chrome, green (our choice), yellow, orange, and pink." All for the bargain price of £2,500. Having never used the phrase before - should I puke on my cock....
