    Technic mountain bikes —John Guerquin
   Hi folks I've uploaded pictures (thanks Calum) of two new technic models to Brickshelf: full suspension mountain bikes. Deep link to bike #1: (URL) This is more of your typical cross-country bike, with a neat front fork suspension - this was (...)

         Re: Technic mountain bikes —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I'll go farther, I actually liked both of them! They seem more like trick bikes than mountain bikes, given the wheel size though. No way round that unless there's a bigger wheel somewhere. (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)
    
         Re: Technic mountain bikes —John Guerquin
     (...) Thanks Larry! Not sure what you mean by 'trick' bikes though. I used actual bikes for inspiration. Although I agree with you about the scale - it's off, and I will try to improve that in the next versions. The problem is that you can shrink (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

     Here's the full BrickShelf folder: (URL) that I this Sunday spent over six hours in a XC Mountainbike race (112 km) I'll have to say that I'm fairly used to looking at bikes such as these (OK, maybe not so many DownHill bikes participating but (...)

         Re: Technic mountain bikes —John Guerquin
     (...) Yeah, the wheel size is a limitation, I will see if I can try to scale down the frame and suspension, especially on the red downhill bike. The Hailfire wheels are HUGE - the diameter is similar to the length of the whole bike! However, it (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

I like the seats by Lars: (URL) I think I got carried away with the bar ends on the red downhill bike.... I got another idea for bar ends, what (...) (21 years ago, 3-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

     (...) Another idea (needs work): synthetize the bicycle wheels using 1x2 liftarms. Not very nice looking though... and a real parts hog! (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

     John Guerquin's utterance expressed in news:HKJq9v.1vAu@lugnet.com: (...) This is really great - I love the back suspension. I made an mtb some time ago, but didn't try full suspension :) (...) The derailleur on this one is really cool, but I think (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)
   
        Re: Technic mountain bikes —Dave Astolfo
   (...) John, Nice stuff. I have often thought of doing an MTB myself. Now that I have the hailfire, I will be thinking of building something that can take advantage of those hoops! Dave (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)
