For a chic take on splashing the cash on two wheels, look no further than French high fashion house Hermès. Launched at the end of 2013, Le Flâneur, pictured here, and its sister model Le Flâneur sportif, each include bull calf leather saddles, a shock absorbing frame, luggage rack supports and the option of eight or 11 integrated rear wheel hub gears.

Handmade in France (of course), it’s made from ultra-lightweight carbon fibre, weighs just over 24lbs and is available in charcoal, red or white. One of the cheapest on our most expensive bike list, coming in at $10,750.

PRICE:  $10,750
