UFC fight Conor McGregor has an Irish-built carbon racing bike; a mint machine built to his measures and his bling specs. We get a close-up look at his mount; more a work of art than a bike.
Conor McGregor carbon racing bike not short on bling
UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been gifted a spectacular Irish-built bike by Dublin-based FiftyOne Bikes.
The company makes custom-made bikes; to client’s measurements and their spec preferences.
It means clients can not only buy custom made frames from FiftyOne, they can also customise the bikes and components.
And the Conor McGregor bike carries the FiftyOne brand name in gold leaf on a black frame.
McGregor’s name and his ‘The Notorious’ fight name is also included in great detail on the paint work.
Even the pedals – flat rather than tradition clip-ins – carry The Notorious moniker.
