Mottainai Cycles Fitzroy bike service centre and vintage bicycles

             At Mottainai Cycles we believe in not wasting beautiful vintage bicycles. It breaks our hearts to see so many of these wonderful bikes thrown out as metal scrap and it’s our intention to save and preserve as many as possible. We restore, service and build custom bikes for our customers. The process of restoring a bike is a ground up rebuild which usually takes 3 days, sometimes longer, we prefer original paintwork and we have discovered some products that can seal and protect paint and metal for many years to come. We have been restoring bikes professionally for more than 4 years and adore our work and bikes. Come in to check out our place at 41 Kerr St we are open everyday from 10-6pm   0448884051 or 042823277 Cheers

Mottainai Bicycle Service Centre, vintage bikes for sale at Fitzroy Kerr Street. Fading Summer

Saying farewell to Summer is synonymous to saying goodbye to an old friend, a sweet sadness pervades coupled with nostalgic flashes, a kaleidoscope of bright colours and euphoric feelings. The onset of Autumn heralds a more contemplative time, riding through sun-burnt discarded leaves and the recognizable smell of earth, as the leaves metamorphose returning back to soil. The wheel of life continues it’s cycle as do we here at Mottainai. We are still engrossed in building supercool vintage bikes for you and also servicing all bikes from our quaint space at 41 Kerr Street Fitzroy, just a short stroll from Brunswick St. We aim to offer less expensive servicing and faster than most around us. And our hours are 10.30-7pm everyday barring severe weather events, call me on 0448884051 cheers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Recycled bikes are ACE! Mottainai Cycles restored bicycles in Fitzroy Melbourne

We (the crew at Mottainai) really love restoring groovy old bikes and hooking them up with new owners or being re-united with their existing owners. So …… if you are looking for a super extra coolio-ness vintage bike or if you have one that needs restoring or servicing them come in to our eccentric space in Fitzroy 41 Kerr St to be exact. We open every day barring extreme weather events, so give us a call/text during abnormal weather situations to make sure on 0448884051. We have a large collection of bikes already restored by us and also plenty of frames and parts that we use to build custom bikes for you our customer, our prices range from 350 up to over a grand for some of our rarer exotic steeds. We welcome your support as we adore what we do and find it difficult at times competing indirectly with very cheap poor quality imported bikes from China that are labelled to pretend that they aren’t from China. However, we do service all bikes, even crappy Chinese ones hahaha! Below are some pics of lovely Mottainai customers (friends) that either got a bike from us or we restored their bike. Happy riding                                                                                           

Vintage bikes, classic bicycles and repair/restorations at Mottainai Fitzroy Melbourne

                                                                                                          All the bikes in the above pics were restored by the Mottainai crew in the last few weeks, we have vintage bikes for sale but we also restore your bikes and get them back on the roads where they belong. We of course service all bicycles at our workshop (even started to service old lawn mowers as seen in pic above) but we specialize in older style ones, as many bikes shops these days don’t want to know about them and can even be a little condescending when brought in to some shops so I’ve been told. Anyways, we adore them. We also accept donation bikes if you wish to offload some bikes that you no longer have space for, we are totally into recycling bikes and parts. Please feel welcome to drop by for a chat about bikes, our place can be considered slightly eccentric compared to most bike shops as sales is not our first priority, bikes take the focus. ….. Nearly forgot, we also build many custom bikes according to particular specifications and budgets, this is a very enjoyable process both for us but also for you as you become part of the procedure and are able to choose everything from the frame to what kind of parts you desire according to your style of riding. We are open every day including weekends from 10.30-7pm  0448884051  Thanks  41 Kerr Street Fitzroy Melb.

Fitzroy Bike service and repairs: Vintage bikes for sale: Mottainai Cycles :)

                     Greetings lovers of real vintage bikes! The pics above depict some people who have bought bikes from us recently or we thought would look super cool with a particular bike like that last piccy. We at Mottainai Cycles are a little obsessed with older style bikes although we do service and repair all types of bicycles that roll in to our funny little shed. We pride ourselves on performing high quality repairs on all bikes and try to do that little bit extra that is rarely seen these days. We believe our bikes are works of art and can often be caught staring vacantly at one of these bikes, lost in a form of reverie. Most of the bikes in our shed are for sale and we are happy for any one to take them for a test ride around the block. We are even happy to just talk about bikes with you because to be honest that’s pretty much all we ever do anyway.  So please come in so we can talk more about bikes and come and admire our vintage bikes for sale, as we have quite a selection available. Okydoky that’s it for now, ride safe!!! We are at 41 Kerr Street Fitzroy (mob 0448884051), down the lane-way …. just follow the signs. Cheers                                                                                                                                                           P.S. Please consider before buying a cheap Chinese bike, and support a sustainable environment, and help spread the word.
