DIAGON ALLEY (PNN) -- Yesterday afternoon, broommaker Nimbus released information about their newest line, dubbed the BB.

Short for Bling Bling, the models will feature solid-gold handlebars, platinum twigs and even a diamond encrusted logo. Pricing has not been determined.

For speed seekers, Nimbus will also offer super lightweight BB brooms with titanium handles that have been specifically streamlined to offer the highest quality ride. While not as fast as the Firebolt, the BB line will still offer speeds reaching 90 MPH in a stiff wind.

"Needless to say these brooms are only for the serious buyer," said company spokesperson Raz McGovern.

More information is promised at the broom's public debut July 1 at Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley.
