Next weekend, the 3-5 June, the glamorous streets of Monte Carlo play host to a bike show like no other. Back for its second year, the LikeBike Monte Carlo event packs many of cycling's most prestigious brands and their exclusive creations all under one roof. Ahead of the extravaganza, here's a preview of some of the most exciting – and expensive – bikes set to star.
Sarto 18k Gold
Priced at a cool £18,000/€22,500, just 25 examples of Italian-brand Sarto’s 18k Gold bike have been made, each frame having been custom-built to its rider’s dimensions. The sparkling highlights that you see decorating the frame are made from real, 18-carat gold and were made by an Italian jeweler based near Sarto's headquarters in Venice. Astonishingly, the bike’s saddle, handlebar tape and chainstay protector are fashioned from none other than Zimbabwean crocodile skin leather.

Lacroix Velo
Few bikes are as distinctive as this lattice-like creation from LaCroix. Instead of conventional tubing it uses a woven structure to form its top tube, down tube and seat tube. According to LaCroix the structure is superior to other carbon designs. If you want to enjoy its purported benefits, however, you'll need a spare £13,260/€17,000.
