I was inspired by all the other turbocycles being posted, so I went ahead and built one. It's yellow-fast, about 18 studs long, 5 studs wide, and 6 bricks high.

Hey, I really like how you did the wheels. Where does that piece come from? Bruce (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

Is everyone getting affected by TRON or something with all these lightcycles? :) Wheels are sweet on this model. Nice job. (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) Nice bike. I second that question - those round pieces would be very useful for some projects I'm working on. Later, Gary (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

Definitely a work of art! This belongs in the same galery as that Artist's Studio Retreat of yours. At first glance, I thought those wheels came from Photoshop ;) You really show the level that Lego can be raised to. ~ Tom - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...)

(...) Thanks! The wheels are from the intakes of the UCS X-Wing. The same piece (in yellow) is used as a propellor cowling on the Technic Search Sub. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu www.bldesign.org (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) Well, with Adrian posting six per day, it's hard not to get inspired to build your own. And yes, this particular model is inspired by the light cycles, by a concept car from GM from about 10 years ago, and by wherever I've seen hubless wheels (...)

(...) Well, you'd probably have to go to Photoshop to make them any lower profile. Now if only I could make them turn... <plug>BTW, this is my second bike with wheels that don't turn.

(...) Hehe, well, not quite that many, but I certainly have been prolific. I do love the design of this one. I never would've thought to use those pieces as wheels, and I've been thinking a LOT about bike wheels this past week :) Adrian -- (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
