| | | 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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)

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)
