Wanksta Track

April fools from Urbanvelo.org! After learning of Kanye West’s purchase of a Cinelli Vigorelli, rival rap star 50 Cent went on a mission to outdo his nemesis. He didn’t just want a bike of his own, Fiddy wanted his own bike. His search brought him to California where he connected with Money S, another former hustler who now owns a bike company. Though Money S started out in a VW bus and Fiddy rolled out of Queens in a white Benz, both came up with a competitive ego and a common love of money. The Wanksta’s gold-plated frame, fork, hubs and rims are complimented by black decals designed by Fiddy himself. The nine bullet holes across the top tube are both a reminder of the attempt on his life (in May of 2000) and a warning to would be bike thieves. The custom Beretta 9mm (included) clicks into a proprietary quick-release bottle cage mount, which is quite possibly the first of its kind.

As of press time, there’s an unsubstantiated rumor circulating that Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Lil Wayne have entered into negotiations with Trek, Cannondale and Bianchi.
