Posted July 31, 201410 yr Specialized Mountain bike Story: As an obsessed cyclist and technic builder, I wanted to create a full suspension bike with real geometry and functions. The original model is the Specialized Safire MTB back from 2009. Parts count: 200 Functions: -front suspension -rear suspension -turning handlebar -moving pedals and gears -stand Desing elements: - valves - authentic colour - disc brakes It contains alltogether 200 pcs (including 36 chain link) You can watch the model in action on youtube: Please note that the video was made last year with 203 pcs. For my entry I have removed 3 pcs which were not needed. Now unfortunately I don't had the time to shoot, cut, edit the 200 pcs video version. These are the additional pcs on the video: - Black technic bush - 2 pcs - Light bluish grey technic bush 1/2 smooth - 1pc You can build the model by watching the . Edited July 31, 201410 yr by Mehley
July 31, 201410 yr Wow, that is awesome! Looks so good, with realistic functions! I actually thought of doing the same moc but with GT or Giant brand, but no idea how to do it, yours turned out great!
July 31, 201410 yr I thought I recognized the design, when I saw the picture. I built one of these last year from a YouTube video (which I now assume must have been one of yours), that I came across by accident. I loved the build so much, I only broke the model down (reluctantly) a month or so ago. Great work
July 31, 201410 yr its perfect in every way! its even better than the one you have on Lego cuuso/ideas !
July 31, 201410 yr Author Hi guys, Thank you so much for the positive words, I am happy that you like it. Unfortunately I have problems with creating the entry topic, it won't let me put the pictures, it says not valid picture extension.... I don't understand, because it worked with this WIP topic. Please note that I'm new to this blog. I have my pictures on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125764397@N05/ And on postimg.org as well http://postimg.org/my.php?gallery=1z5jovp2 but none of them works, please help, Thank you so much!

Here is a tutorial on how to get flickr images into a post. I DID fix the photos in the entry topic.

It is an honour, it's much better feeling to hear this, than to win the 1st prize..... :)

July 31, 201410 yr It looks very cool, but being built last year, in my opinion, is a bit of an unfair short cut :(
August 1, 201410 yr Author It looks very cool, but being built last year, in my opinion, is a bit of an unfair short cut :( I started building bicycles about 4 years ago, I have built about 5-6 prototypes before this one. It looks simple, but still there is a lot of work in it. There is no rule about having the idea from this year or from the last few months. Anyway, I sold the model last year, so I had to build it again and get rid of 3 pcs as well. Like and view numbers on youtube provided me a good feedback, but I am much more happy with the positive feedbacks above from the builders community, than to win the first prize....
August 1, 201410 yr It is a newer version of an existing concept, But It does say in the rules: Entries need to be new (never posted anywhere previously).
