Aston Martin unveiled a model called .1R that's smaller and more city-friendly than the existing members of its range. It's not a follow-up to the Cygnet: it's a bicycle developed jointly with British company J.Laverack that features intricate design details and lots of carbon fiber bits.

One of the .1R's most eye-catching features is the seamless frame, which creates a sleek appearance. Even the cables you see on many road bikes have been integrated into the frame to achieve a cleaner look. Like the DB12, among other models, the .1R is fully customizable and buyers will have the option of choosing any paint color that Aston Martin offers on its road cars. The carbon fiber parts can be left bare for riders who prefer a more performance-oriented look, while the brake calipers and brake rotor centers are available in bronze or black.
