Have you launched a spectacularly successful tech giant or struck it rich with an oil well?\u00a0 Then you need to start thinking about how you\u2019re going to spend your new-found wealth.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a taste of how the ultra-rich cycle enthusiasts spend their money\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard Mille RM 70-01, $815,500<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Part Fitbit, part Coco Chanel, Richard Mille\u2019s latest watch is Alain Prost\u2019s love letter to cycling<\/a>.\u00a0 The Formula One legend collaborated with Mille to create a true thing of beauty, and billionaires everywhere cheered at the prospect of a watch where everything is manufactured to the highest imaginable cycling standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ergonomically cast tonneau case has a custom-designed tourbillon-equipped movement to ensure the asymmetry doesn\u2019t produce inaccuracies, and micro-machined Garde-5 titanium is sealed in a Carbon TPT case.\u00a0 If you\u2019re wavering over whether to take the plunge and buy this, Mille will throw in a free Colnago C60<\/a>.\u00a0 You can\u2019t say fairer than that.<\/p>\n

Factor One-77, \u00a325,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Designed by motor sport stalwarts Beru F1 systems, the One-77 carbon fibre frame is forged as 1 piece, making it far stronger than bonded carbon frames. \u00a0The Factor One-77 was offered as a \u00a325,000 optional extra<\/a> if you happened to be purchasing an Aston Martin One-77.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

The One-77 was also the first bike to offer power meters where the left & right legs are measured independently \u2013 to an accuracy of 0.1%.\u00a0 High-resolution speed data comes courtesy of 8 magnets per wheel, and the custom head unit can detect cornering forces and lean angle.\u00a0 Useful.<\/p>\n

Savile Row Worsted Wool Suit, starting at \u00a33,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wool is the ultimate cycling material when the temperature drops below 10 Celsius.\u00a0 It keeps you warm, but is still breathable enough to avoid that swampy polyester feeling.\u00a0 Absorbing less than 10% its weight in moisture in comparison to 30% of cotton, quality wool<\/a> is perfect cycling attire.<\/p>\n
