The Lego Ideas user says that the model is the perfect size to display and appeals to a vast audience. “With less than 1000 pieces, it is also the perfect medium set for LEGO newcomers, both in terms of price and building experience.”
The bike has 999 bricks (the including bike stand and accessories).
“When I designed the model, my main goal was to capture all of the mechanical functions of a real bicycle, including the drivetrain, front/rear brakes and working freewheel,” says SleepyCow. “It was very challenging, especially making the bike frame sturdy enough to hold the rest of the model. Nonetheless, I am extremely satisfied with the end-product and flawless riding mechanism. I cannot wait to share this build with the rest of the LEGO community.”
