Here to announce that our friends over at Mai Hiro are teaming up with Reign in Orlando to host there first show.. It’s definitely going to be a hot show.. a must for anyone in around Florida.. We will have the custom bike that Nakanari of Mai Hiro designed at the show.. Check out the flyer and see everyone there!
Everyone wants to get out and ride, but not everyone has an abundance of extra cash sitting around to grab the latest and greatest Fixie/single speed bike. So what to do? Well we decided to take Walmart up on its Mongoose Single Speed bike offer. Coming in at a reasonable $149.99 would this bargain prices bike give us the performance and satisfaction we were looking for? Let’s find out in Part 1 of our budget build.
First thing first, we found our donor bicycle at the local Walmart bike isle sporting all the consummate badges and sales tags one could stick on it. After giving it a once over, we noticed a small one inch scrape on the top tube. Being the savvy shoppers we are, we mentioned it to management. That eye spy moment turned into a $10 discount. Around a 7% right off the top, enough to cover taxes. Not too shabby. So we take our new pride and joy home to really get a better look.
This is what we have to work with.
General Impressions
Overall the bike looks decent. The black and white theme seems to carry well, however Mongoose has seen fit to apply 10 lbs of stickers to the bike. It feels busy as a result of all the safety items and visual effects they saw fit to add to it. It’s a tall frame. If your under 5’ 7” I would be weary. All the safety items are present and it even comes with a manual.
Here is the latest addition to our Bike Porn collection thanks to Chris from Stuart Florida. Chris and couple of his buddies built this fixie bike last spring by using good ole Fuji frame they got from a flea market and adding used and new parts. Love this clean white frame look….
More things happening next Sunday May 16th at Ft. Myers. So what is it you ask…. Bike Polo Tournament of course!!! It is happening at the Allen Park Elementary Tennis Courts. See flyer for more details and we will see you there!
We got time to meet up with Kim and her one off MaiHiro designed Se Draft that we featured last week to snap some shots.. Def a sick bike and we are glad we had the chance to work with Nakanari of MaiHiro and Velocity..
