      It’s a British piece of engineering — of course the tools aren’t going to be in the bag …

        Loving the bike Steve, it looks like a great kit. I bet building that had you on the edge of your seat.
        One wrong cough and it would of been sayonara la bicicleta!
        Top job:thumb2:

          Hi Everyone

          Allen, Allen, Allen - thanks for the kind words mate. The spanners are in the pouch but unfortunately I glued it shut with the pewter strap:smiling3:
          Glad you like it Peter:thumb2:

          It was definitely squeaky bum time Si. Its the most fragile thing I have had to make. I can see why they give you two chances to make one bike:smiling5:

            Staggeringly good detailing Steve - that bicycle is something else. You have the skills of a brain surgeon.

                  Steve,
                  This is going from strength to strength. Great work on the bicycle it looked like a patience tester.

                            Great catch up with your build Steve. The bike is brilliant, glad you went with the replacement spokes as they really lift the model, even down to the air valves!!

                              Hi Steve
                              Loving every update on this. Really does you credit. I have that rivet maker. Very useful and works well with very thin styrene sheet as well. Well done with those PE spokes - I did some for a m/c and it drove me demented! Bike looks brilliant. My son was the Lego builder. He had tons of the stuff. He was actually very inventive with it. Eventually though girls and alcohol took over and he gave it to some long forgotten girlfriend's younger brother. He wishes he still had it as it is probably worth a fair bit now.

                                Hi Everyone

                                We have loads of Lego as well Scottie. Just waiting for the grand kids to arrive so we can get it down again. As my daughters are career women it could be some time:smiling5:
                                Looking forward to painting those Mick:fearful: Thanks for looking in mate
                                Thanks for the comments Jim. I was using the rivet maker this morning and after about the 30th time of banging away with the hammer I thought I wonder who do I look like?? Then it came to me:smiling5::smiling3:
