Back The Future On A Budget: DeLorean Brand Bicycles

Want to travel back in time and go to prom because you never did? You're a waste of a time traveler. But for those of us with serious time-traveling aspirations comes this line of DeLorean brand bicycles. Just add a bike basket, toss a flux capacitor in there, and you'll be killing Hitler faster than he can say, "Mein schwanz ist so groß wie mein Schnurrbart," (My d*ck is as big as my mustache). The bikes will start at *massive spit-take* $5,500 and will be available in three different models for direct sale from their website soon. The only question is, how will we get them up to 88MPH? "Get towed behind a sports car?" JESUS -- I want to time travel, not die. I say we ride them off a cliff.

Hit the jump for some closeups.

Thanks to Curtis, who agrees there's nothing worse than time traveling back to the past only for some @$$hole caveman to steal your bike tires and try to claim he invented the wheel.

    This is a 1:15 scale time-traveling LEGO DeLorean built by LegoManiac Orion Pax (of LEGO BTTF2 Hill Valley fame). The build is pure LEGO with the exception of a coat of silver spraypaint. I would have just left it flat-grey myself, but I've never built anything remotely decen... / Continue →

    One gear? yeah.... not gonna happen.

  • 11 speed Alfine internally geared hub.  Note the 3 cables coming from the handlebars.  $5k is a bit much, but the rear hub alone is $400 wholesale (give or take).

  • $5k for a bike with plastic pedals? Puh-leeze.

  • That's a budget as in 'Federal' :-/

    NO FUCKING WAAYYYYY

    No flux capacitor, utter deplorable failure.  I will punch the fuck out of anyone trying to ride this by me without leaving skidmarks on fire

    Deleted comment.

  • 5 grand for a steel frame from an unknown builder?  I'd rather have a moots.

  • If you click through to the Delorean Bike site and click on models, at the bottom of the 'Anyday' it says it's going to cost $5495. Ouch. Still want though
