Cool bicycle!
Bicycle shaped object.
This is nationwide OP, not just that store. All stores would constitute more than 10 stock on hand as I have also seem some recently.
If anyone wants to check their local store in the morning, call up and use the reference keycode "42346634", that's the keycode I can gather from the picture, might be wrong though.
In first with the comment about how sh!t Kmart bikes are and you have to spend a minimum of $1000 to get anything remotely good. /S
My chain costs more :)
Is this a womens bike?
yep
Gross weight of box and bike is 19kg. Assuming even upto 2kg for packaging and included tools, that would mean a 17kg bike. Single front wheel brake (I'm guessing it wouldn't be fantastic either). My wife's bike from Amart weighs around 15kg, has front and rear brakes and gears (paid around $170) and that is a POS that takes ages to stop. I'd be worried about anyone riding the Kmart one to be honest.
Yep. My $60 Big W Bicycle Shaped Object that I grabbed as it was cheaper than the two tyres my car needed at the time lasted 2-1/2 weeks before the jelly-blobs protecting the front brake mechanism wore down. It would have been $64 to replace them with rubber ones. Funnily enough, it bore the ancient, but apparently zombified name of "Dunlop", which used to be a name with a modicum of trust.
Had there been any correlation between an effective and ergonomic placement of the pedals and the positioning and adjustment options of the saddle I may have considered it. It must have taken a lot of work to take a widespread and much tested design and adjust it so that the manufacturer could put out a unit where the effective output of any muscle used for control and propulsion was misaligned by just enough to make it a total pain to ride.Does it not have reverse pedal type braking i.e. not freewheel?
A heavy beast indeed…
