Smile $1000 Reward - Bello Nock

Have you heard? Bello was in New York getting his oversized shoes shined when someone stole his custom made miniture bicycle. Wouldn't you like to have seen the thief ride that away?

For a green grand I might consider making him a new one. This is great publicity, though. One has to wonder if it's not a grand setup.

Well it's back now. A gentleman claimed to have found it about 15 blocks from Madison Square Garden and he took it in and returned it. So now he gets the $1000, publicity and a new bike of his own. Lucky find wouldn't you say?

$1000!!!. You can buy 20 similar ones of those bikes for that!!

It so happened that I bought one myself 2 days ago for 45 euro and I'm really content with it. They are real fun although walking goes faster. Tested it in the neighbourhood and the children just love riding around on it.Thinking about bying another 2 for when I give circusworkshops or organising little competitions on them with birthdayparties.

Hey Oki,

What is the brand name of your bike? And/or where did you get it? Do they have a website? I like your idea of little competitions at birthday parties. Great idea!

Though questions Fitzwilly. I've looked all over for a brand name but there isn't. The box only says Mini Bike and that's it. I bought it in a store-outlet and yesw I was really pleased with the price. They are mostly about twice more expensive. I could ask about it next time I come there if they could give me some more information about where they come from etc. For now Googling gave me these sites they are not exactly the same but maybe it helps you further:

http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/bik/303262840.html
http://homestore3.com/motclowmin.html

Sorry I can't really help you further at this point.

We have two of them. One came from Ebay for $25.00 the other was purchased at a neighbors yard sale for $10.00

They are called Runt bikes.

YOU should have offerred one to Ringling for Bello. That would have turned a nice profit for teh price you paid.
