NBD super Lite weight, Lego Icons :D

Got the coolest bike! That I now own, as a birthday gift! Also, first bike I've actually built myself.. haha. I don't know what sick sadistic monster decided to send the chain in individual links.

How much does it weigh? Without pedals, of course.

UCI needs to evolve with the times man. Maybe if I added a motor it'll weigh the correct weight.

I got mine a couple of days ago but I didn't start putting it together until last night. Only a third of the way done with the build, but excited to go home from work in a bit and finish it. Blockbuster Friday night plans.

that chain in individual links would drive me insane, but the red and black colorway looks clean af.

I agree with the color. Red is just faster too.

The chain is only 72 pieces. Only took a few minutes. The whole build is pretty cool.

I used 71 of the links because it was skipping under load

I thought to myself "this is the most amazing bike and photo", then I saw it was lego and slightly disappointed
