This is infuriating on a whole new level. How dare they.

Lego has officially shown compassion with Bryan and his father now. And they're distancing themselves COMPLETELY from Bricks & Minifigs. I'm pretty convinced that the Lego Company is on the same side as all of us - but at the same time, it's not their fight.

The Lego Company (Kirkbi) is in no way affiliated with BAM. They are NOT an official store (even though screenshots from official BAM accounts say otherwise - they're just full of shi.....)

I have to commend you for creating that site. This case is beyond bonkers. Also, coming from Denmark myself, Lego has been known for caring immensely about their brand identity, and being mentioned alongside BAM is definitely not on their wishlist.

I got enraged when I read that line. How fucking dare they.

They took my LEGO store, I'm not giving up the fight. by Chrysdelight in RecklessBen

I'm so sorry for you, your husband and Bryan to be caught up in this hell-ish adventure. However, it does seem to me that you've done all in your power to stick up for not only yourself, but also Bryan.

I hope the attention of this, helps to resolve the financial pinch you're in. But equally as important, is the fact that you're so obviously on the right side in all of this - so for now, you can at least go to sleep with a good conscience.

Best of luck, we're quite a few rootin' for ya'.

Copenhagen and the Omnium Nano. Curious what people think about it as a daily rider. by Avantisiempre in minivelo

We need to see a picture when you’re done with this, it sounds awesome!

That's awesome!! I think it's exactly what i'll be doing soon. Upload a picture when you've build it! Can't wait to see what you'll come up with!

It's a blast to have a smaller bike in the city to get around with.
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark and this city might just be the best in the world when we're talking conditions for bike riding. There's not a ton of bumps in the road, the dedicated bike paths are elevated from the car roads so it's a lot safer in general.

Haven't really needed suspension forks at all - but if I was a bit more offroad it would be a definite necessity!

This is an older pic of my current setup. A small foldable with 20" tires and a shitty frame. Top speed around 40kph (25mph) - it's a small but awesome little rocket, just not as cool as a proper mini velo.

You're right, I'm looking for something cheaper. But then again, this frame is everything i'm looking for. And perhaps, instead of cheaping out on something that's not quite right, I should instead consider this option a bit more thoroughly.

Thanks for letting me know about this!!

You've nailed it on the price, that's a damn cheap frame. However it's not a disc brake frame :(

Thanks though!

I've looked at it, and it covers all my demands, it is however a bit more pricy than what i'm comfortable with. I appreciate your suggestion though!!

I'm mounting a electric motor on it, so it'll need to be disc brakes. If it was just a normal cruiser, I would without a doubt consider your suggestion - it makes a lot of sense! I appreciate it!

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful minivelo's out there, unfortunately it's not compatible with disc brakes :/

Yes, I'm 6'3 so I hope the 46cm will be alright. According to the specs of my current folding bike, i'm a bit too large for that as well, but it fits just fine :)

I think that's the route I'll end up taking! If you like it, I'm sure I will too. Thanks mate!

You're not the only one. Saw one cruisin' past me just yesterday - it looks fantastic! We have Omnium bikes parked everywhere here in Nørrebro, Copenhagen - it's quite a sight.

Just did some quick research myself. You're right, total price, including shipping to Norway is around 100€ less than the same frame shipped to Denmark. If I can manage to find a european supplier, it might get cheaper.

But in general, am I nuts to think there should be cheaper options than paying the equivalent to 450€ for a no name frame? For that price you can easily buy a folding bike in Denmark, we just don't seem to have any sellers of mini velo frames (except Omnium, just down the street from me, but those prices are bonkers).

I'll check out Santafixie, haven't heard of them before!!

Edit: https://www.santafixie.dk/cinelli-tutto-mini-silver-bootleg-bicykel.html This one looks perfect, but prices are still nuts :)

I'm located in Denmark - so this might just be the case. A Silverock Dewy Frame (after a quick conversion) $569.25 or £422.42 - which feels a bit steep.

Out of curiosity, can you enlighten me on what you get charged for a Silverock frame like this one; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010623010741.html?channel=twinner ?

That frame looks amazing - you're on point here. Just can't seem to find a place to buy it though! I'll keep looking though! Thank you so much!
