Finally got around to rebuilding an ‘old’ mountain bike I built for an ex. I’ve been riding the unicorn bell bike and trike which both weigh a tonne and handle shockingly. I figured may as well use the heavier ones as you get more exercise in in less time and no one will pinch them.
I forgot what it’s like to ride such a light bike. Weighs 8.5kg. Built it when the AUD was way way higher so ended up being a bargain for what it is ('bout $700, last service (!) for my other mtb years ago was $380).
So that’s the ‘new’ goon / snack / beach transport machine. I am tempted to put the unicorn bell and basket on as theft prevention devices.
But jeez riding it brings back memories which i think is why i left it so long. Happy it still works well and the salt air down here hasn’t fucked it too much.

Do it. Establish dominance and go full Hello Kitty
it has to be something daggy
Yeah you’re right… the bike would get stolen and flogged even faster if it was Hello Kitty
lime green with xian stickers
It might get mistaken for a Lime scooter and be thrown in the Yarra. Same as if it looked like a Jesus bike.
Melbourne is such a colourful city
you’re right
Yeah, I’ve been riding a tank around, it’s so nice switching to a light weight bike.
I feel like it might need some spokey dokes as well to really bring out the color of the unicorn bell.
