Coming this spring, from the creators of
Shіtibike and
Shіtibike Resurrection, a riveting tale of cheapness beyond comprehension. It's...
Shіtibike II: The Shіtening!
It followed me home.
Not quite identical twins, but close. On the left is the one I've had for about 6 months, which is private-labeled as "Admiral" and sold by WalMart. On the right is the new acquisition, branded as "Wayfarer" and sold by K-Mart. Same bike, different colors, and the K-mart one didn't come with a bell. Also, I can't quite tell whether the wheels on the black one are painted. They are aluminum-ish in color, but slightly too uniform- I'll start hitting 'em with the sandpaper after I pull the rubber off today.
Handlebars, grips, tires, tubes, rim tape, basket, and all the other little essentials are on order.
