vintage bikes Melbourne, get your vintage coolness and recycle a beautiful bicycle with us.

The above bike is a two-star Malverstar full restoration that was recently completed for a wonderful guy, he seems pretty chuffed with it

The above bicycle is a BSA that was recently purchased by this sweet lady, she took one look at it and totally fell in love, she said she even dreamed about it. I love these stories.

This purple Hallmark is actually my next door neighbors newly restored steed, he came to show me on it’s maiden voyage. Wonderful job!!!

The above Cecil Walker was a full restoration that is now available, The leather work was completed by the magnificent Ella, you can commission her through our shop to do any bicycle leather work including grips, shoulder hangers, bar dressings …. in fact you name it, she does it and her work is next to none (excellent!!!).

Love the pose, he was a cool dude!!

Food for thought.

 

Imagine if they closed Melbourne city to all cars??? Great idea.

Beautiful bikes are old …. Lovers of vintage bikes unite!!!

Recycle a used vintage bike, think twice before buying a new bike that is made in China, the quality of a cheap Chinese bike is inferior in all ways, they become land-fill very quickly. The rider rarely makes a real lasting connection with these types of bikes. We at Mottainai Cycles have bikes from the 80′s and earlier, when they were made in Japan or Australia and Europe. These bikes really stand the test of time and are not only original and damn cool looking but were actually made well with quality in mind rather than just $$$ maximum profit from the cheapest production costs. So support recycling literally and just give it a thought before choosing that cheap shiny bike made in China. Steps down from the soap box …………

What’s cold and wet and lives in a cave? Get your Vintage on!

A wise person once said,”the only constant is change”, well Melbourne certainly embraces that maxim unabashedly (in weatherly terms), I would like to add, the only constant is the turn of the wheel:) Regardless of external conditions getting on a bike is food for the soul and to my mind the older the bike the more soul…… or something like that. We have just experienced the Bike Fest which was great and much enjoyed by all that participated.

Tomorrow (Sunday) should be a lovely day to visit the Rose Street Artist market, down some coffee and check out some old rides and groovy bicycles in our shed, be nice to see you there. See yah.
