Limited Replica Stranger Things Bike For Sale (Mike's Bike)

I have a pretty cool replica Limited Edition Bicycle from Stranger Things. It's Mike's Bike. It has a limited run of 500 and this one is numbered 399/500. It's still sealed in box and in its shipper. The Only two left on sale at eBay are going for $1800-$2100 and that's without shipping. I'll let this go for $1100 shipped or if it's a local pickup for $900. I know there is some sticker shock in this but it's becoming a really rare piece. You can email me at mediagoon@gmail.com if interested or if you have any questions.

 

WHAT ARE YOUR ROLES IN THE COMPANY AS WELL AS 

FOR THE MIKE’S BIKE PROJECT?

Patrick: I am a Graphic Designer here at Pacific Cycle bikes.

 For this project I was responsible for the cosmetics of the 

bike, and also digging into some of the conceptsof the show 

to make it all tie together. My daughter and I randomly came 

upon Stranger Things the weekend it came out, and we thought 

it was so cool and we just got into it. So I definitely approached

 the project from a fan standpoint.

Justin: I am a Product Manager at Pacific Cycle. I was in charge

of the parts and 

pieces of the bike. Patrick heavily influenced 

some of the aspects of it because he is 

such a big fan of the show. 

While I was first exposed to the show because of this project, 

Patrick was really able to cue in on some of the graphical elements t

hat make this bike really speak to the details a fan would appreciate.

HOW SIMILAR IS THE BIKE TO THE ONE MIKE IS RIDING IN 

STRANGER THINGS?

Justin: We knew what the bike was going to be by essentially copying 

what was already in the show. The show definitely harkens back to the 

iconic Schwinn Sting-Ray bike that would have been very prevalent at the 

time the show takes place in and it is something we are familiar with so

 figuring out the parts and pieces of it was pretty easy.

Patrick: We took the approach of this bike really speaking to the fan of 

Stranger Things.

There are call outs on the bike that are hidden within

 the design that made it a really fun 

piece to put together.

WHAT WAS THE REASONING BEHIND MAKING THE BIKE RELATED TO 

MIKE’S CHARACTER?Justin: Almost right away we knew that 

this bike we were doing with Netflix would be Mike’s bike. 

He is clearly the main character of Season 1 so his bike is the most 

prominently shown bike as well as one of the mostinteresting bikes,

 and it helped that it was a Sting-Ray. Then Milissa, our Director 

of Marketing, and her team got involved and it was clear that everyone

 was really excited about moving forward with Mike’s Bike.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THE DESIGN OF MIKE’S BIKE?

Patrick: Netflix asked for it to feel very “in world,” that was the term they used. 

So from across the room it should look like a replica and feel like it really is 

Mike’s bike from the show. Taking that direction, we started making sure there

 were the correct elements that are true to the bike you see in Seasons 1-2 of the 

show.The white wall tires and the seat having a duct tape feel to it are both 

directly taken from thebike that was onset. We used a material that looked like 

duct tape. Then from there are some elements that weren’t on the bike in the 

show, but made a lot of sense for this specific bike, such as a bike license 

sticker that says Hawkins. Afterthat we started hiding things and 

putting little surprises and Easter eggs on the bike. There is something under 

the seat and something behind the chain guard that isn’t obvious at first glance. 

We tried to do as much as we could to add layers to something so it felt like more 

than a replica bike. As a fan of the show we knew fans would appreciate those 

extra things, so it was a clear decision for us to do it this way.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER?

Justin: Sheriff Hopper.

Patrick: I really like Eleven, that is an obvious one. It’s interesting to see 

how her 

character has evolved and everything that has happened to her.

Even though the limited edition Stranger Things bike sold out, Schwinn 

still has a number of kids' and adult men's and women's cruiser bikes that 

remind any rider of a different time. Check out the Classic 1, the Perla, and 

the Krate for nostalgic bikes that promise to stand out.
