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

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!

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

[Rockbrick]

[Gabor]

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:

Flickr can be tricky.

Here is a tutorial on how to get flickr images into a post.

I DID fix the photos in the entry topic.

If you are just reposting the same image then you can simply right click -> copy image -> past image into entry topic.

Wow, I am happy to hear that you have built the model! It is an honour, it's much better feeling to hear this, than to win the 1st prize..... :)

[jantjeuh]

Totally awesome! I love original creations like this.

[Kumbbl]

Can't say it better

[NXT45]

Wow very realistic! I really like the rear suspension! Keep up the good work!

Another fun entry.

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....

[Rockbrick]

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).
