it has them clickity clacks on your bike O.O!

I love my spoke clackers :3 I've had them for years, I pull 'em off my old bikes and stick 'em on my new ones. Those stars are from my very first bike.

Somewhere I have some bottle-cap shaped ones from my bike back in the day. They were neon colors and had little reflective stickers like just about every toy did back in the 90s.

I kind of miss those now.

Nice. I just have the stars, and the orb-ish ones. The front ones used to glow in the dark, years ago. I doubt they do anymore, though.

I have some glittery tube-shaped ones, still, but they'd really clutter up that back wheel, so in a bag they sit. They don't make much noise anywho.

Funny you mention glow-in-the-dark stuff, Kobi and I were just talking about what features would have been on the ultimate "boy's bike" circa 1992 that neither of us could have afforded back then, and glow-in-the-dark paint came up!

Other features we thought of:
-Foot pegs (because all the cool kids in California had them on their freestyle bikes)
-Asian dragons and Yin & Yang designs (because of the Ninja craze)
-Ninja star-shaped spoke clackers (see above)
-Neon-colored seat and grips (in '92 it was neon colors or GTFO).
-BMX styling including a sprung front fork and knobby tires

But the best part is if I built the bike I always wanted as a kid in an adult size, I could finally get the compliments I missed out on 20 years ago because that's exactly the sort of thing they love here in Portland.

Oh shit, you're bringing back memories. I won all my wheel decorations at summer camp events over the years.

I remember when I was a kid you were the coolest on the block if you had a bicycle with lots of gears and hand brakes, in my neighborhood at least. I had an 18-speed Huffy for many years, hoo boy.

Pft, Freedom is my ultimate bike. I love the "beach cruiser" retro style. Fenders, wheel clackers, rack, fold-out bags. People around Seattle love it. I'm always getting compliments from random people on the streets.

Realistically I'm probably opting for an English Roadster style when I can invest in a decent bike. It's just fun to think about getting something off-the-wall once in a while. :3

Very nice.

I don't invest in things (art college student = no money), I happen upon things :U This bike I found in my grandpa's shop, he'd gotten it from a neighbor. Just got a late 30's Hercules bike from my uncle too. (totally now my official first "project" )
