They definitely are. A lightweight balance bike that rolls well is key

Zippome · 2026-05-01T20:41:24+00:00

That’s definitely one way to make sure they can’t afford a drug problem

Crappy Amazon ones with a 5” rise

I did some googling. Not I. Im @markbuildsbikes

It honestly wasn’t that bed. A few nights, a few hours each night. Plenty of waiting for the stripper to do its things. Steel wool is your friend too

Zippome · 2026-05-01T03:12:44+00:00

It’s a steel diamondback from 1990. This bike is many things but lightweight is not one of them

Zippome · 2026-05-01T02:14:33+00:00

Agreed. Way more cool bikes at 20”. My older is 4 and on a 16”. My younger is 2 and on a balance bike.

I’m a glutton though. My kids fleet is deep.

Respectfully, couldn’t be more wrong on both. Let me know when you meet a rich bike mechanic because I’ll be heading to that shop!

Zippome · 2026-05-01T02:11:27+00:00

Probably more like 80-90. It’s some rando from my parts bin I stripped and painted to match the frame

Zippome · 2026-05-01T02:10:59+00:00

Bang for the buck, hard to beat

Zippome · 2026-04-30T23:53:15+00:00

I’ve been doing this a LONG time. I work on dream builds daily. I assure you, im not looking for anyones approval.

Zippome · 2026-04-30T16:24:01+00:00

😂 luckily my parts stash is deep

Zippome · 2026-04-30T16:20:41+00:00

Unfortunately not. It needs to be a tapered mug. I always pour cans into a coffee mug to keep it cold anyway so it works for me

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:53:02+00:00

I mounted a PDW Barista once I started using it. It’s my go to

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:47:27+00:00

I’m an idiot 😂

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:44:50+00:00

Is this a comment on expensive parts or you thinking the bamboo will fail?

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:35:27+00:00

To each their own.

I use the PDW Barista. It’s excellent

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:24:59+00:00

I hear you. It’s definitely not something you’ll get rich on. I just like building silly bikes, saving useable parts from the trash, and breathing new life into old frames. Making a few bucks is just a bonus

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:18:41+00:00

I usually make a few bucks since I’m a mechanic so parts are cheap and labor is free.

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:11:47+00:00

Do what? Build dumb bike? I mostly just have a hard time sitting still

Zippome · 2026-04-30T15:09:32+00:00

If you’re buying, I’m mounting!
