THERE'S NO OTHER SCHOOL LIKE IT... (updated)

I BOUGHT AN OLD-SCHOOL BIKE TODAY, it's totally awesome. It's unfortunately a Bratz brand bike (like the girls dolls, yes) but with some modifications it shouldn't be too embarrasing. BUT if that still doesnt convince you about how awesome it is, think of the price I paid for it: $30! Yep, thirty dollars! No typo's! I'm not sure how or why it'd be so cheap, but that's how much it was! It's funny too, I went to a bike store before I went to K-Mart, and they were selling an extremely similar bike, in a different color, without the sparkles, for 10X the price! So it was totally awesome!

Best. $30. Ever.

THE IMAGES: Top image is the bike itself, after I changed the horrible, horrible purple velour seat and metallic paint. The middle is me dorkily posing on the bike in my living room. But I didn't like the photo so I stylised the sh*t out of it in photoshop and illustrator. Maybe a bit over the top... but it was a horrible photo.

The bottom image is a screenshot of the product description I found on ebay when I was looking for a new seat. Couldn't find the seat, but this image is a laugh! Designed for 7-8 year old girls! HAHAHA

PS. Sorry about the lack-of-posting this last week. I have been distracted and preoccupied, and I ... uh... forgot.

Interesting fact, to convince stores to carry the bike the owner of MGA, the company that makes the Bratz, rode the bike into the buyers meetings so they could see it in action and it worked.
