It’s a unique, tailor-made proposal for the admirer of insanely famous Pininfarina design. Thanks to its in-house tailoring department, 43Milano provides an exclusive service whereby fixed frames can be coated with prestigious, especially processed (waterproof) deer or crocodile leather.

For women’s bicycles, the company also offers rich ostrich leather coatings. The frame they recommend – an excellent braze-welded steel model – will be delivered to any shop, with the coating the clients selected from the range of available colours, within 40 days of the order confirmation date. 43Milano also tailors luxury, crocodile or deer-leather coatings of Gilles Berthoud saddles. The aesthetic impact of “dressed” bicycles is simply amazing!

43 Milano has re-interpreted the concept of the bicycle with its unique collection blending taste, style and the inimitable flair that identifies the real “Made in Italy” handicraft anywhere in the world. These cycles were born in a fashion atelier located in downtown Milan and were designed for sophisticated, demanding users who want an exclusive object that sets itself clearly apart from the mainstream, modern bicycles with their cold, high-tech style that invariably makes them look anonymous.

Limited edition, frame covering in crocodile –  5,000.00
