Thief takes one-of-a-kind Bianchi Armani bike

By Yokota Fritz


Last July, Giorgio Armani and Bianchi introduced the Armani Haute Couture bicycle. Bianchi had these black, hybrid bikes at the Emporio Armani store in Caesar's Palace in Vegas last week during Interbike when a thief stole one of these bikes.

Riding this bike might be a little like trying to pawn off the Mona Lisa after stealing it. “That’s the only bike of that type in the world,” said Richard Stroem, who is responsible for the Bianchi brand worldwide. “So if that guy is riding his bike they will know it’s stolen.”
