SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and
animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors
of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom.
The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as the highest rated series to ever
air on Nickelodeon, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. The media franchise has
generated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon.
Just like the world famous animated character, a bike Modifier in Cebu has been making waves
in the Bike show scene in the queen city of the south. The bike is a Yamaha MIO
with a Thai Style concept which emphasizes low weight bikes to improve the power to weight
ratio. Not contented with a decals make over the owner Zenel Mendiola opted to have
a custom airbrush theme wherein he tapped the expertise of Franco "Cocoi" Jagape which
proved to be a solid combination as the bike has been racking-up wins in the bike show
scene all over Cebu.
Going into the bike it sports a wide array of Bikers, Racing Boy, DK, K-Tech parts and
all sorts of THDM goodies. For the suspension it uses Trusty for the front shocks and
Racing Boy for the rear shocks. For the braking system it uses Racing Boy Calipers,
Disk Rotors and Levers. For the Engine its uses MTRT parts to boost performance and
to achieve an aggressive exhaust profile, they installed Daeng Racing pipe.
The bike uses Machimura rims fitted with Osaki Spokes. To finish this off they opted
for a custom airbrushed body and seat.
"The most challenging aspect of building this show bike is the machining of parts which
were meant for other bike models, we had to be precise with our measurements to integrate
the parts to the bike smoothly." Zenel reiterated during the interview.
