It seemed for a while there the whole custom fixed gear buy online, bespoke, but not really bespoke scene was getting a new entrant every day. This scene was producing progressively cheaper and more rubbish bikes by the day too.

So it’s a wonder it took this long for someone to go the other way. Welcome Little Mule. The ability to see your bike and ride it before you purchase it is a bit of a coup in this modern cycling world. Furthermore, great coffees paired up with breakfast and lunch options, you’ve got the makings of the pot of gold at the end of the hipster rainbow.

And building a bike here has limitless options and no-one is going to judge your set-up. It’s a bit like cruising the menu in a Michelin star restaurant, but having the option to order vegemite toast if that’s your flavour. You get an unbranded rig with top end parts that isn’t going to fall apart, looks bad arse and not the same as the rest of your bike gang.

Roll down for a coffee and whet your appetite for rad bikes and delicious food.
