Extans Unveils A Bicycle Made Out Of Blue Carbon Fiber

Extans reveals one of its most extravagant designs yet, the Akhal Sheen. The bike's monocoque carbon frame is constructed out of blue carbon fiber with a CNC machined head, dropouts, and a seat clamp that's made from a single aluminum billet. The bike also features a full carbon fork, seat post, and handlebars. 24k gold plating adds some flourish to the bike and its components include Shimano Dura Ace brakes, Paul Components brake levers, an FSA headset, a Mavic Ellipse Pro Carbon UST wheelset, Pirelli P Zero tires, and much more. Only 19 bikes will be made and each one weighs under 21 lbs. (acquire)
