Some time ago, I found an older version of this bike build at my local charity shop. It was built and was quite the joy. This looks very much the same, but it’s worth the ‘Build with G’ episode, or at least I thought it was. Looking at it, it’s a great way to bring Technic to the channel, and for more to be reviewed in these posts. So…how does it do?
The opening of the box find NO stickers, but the pieces are in placky-bags. I have become accustomed to the pappy-bags, now, so I do sigh when I find that this is the case. The two bags are opened up, together. It was at this point that the falling chain-links reminded me of the older build and how many I had to buy to get the 28+ that were needed. I can say that from the off, I was quite surprised at the amount of value in this set. At £8.99, it offers a decent time frame, but is even better if you are new to building Technic. I do believe that you could get a good hour or more out of this build.
It comprises of the usual building methods, employing the half and half construction. This means that you start by creating one half of the bike’s frame, from front to back. Adding each sub-build starts to form the cool bike and once the gears are added, it’s quite clear of what you have. The chain is the usual boring click-together, but at only 28 links, it’s not too long. It is completed by making up the forks for the front, adding the wheels, then tipping the light down to face forward. I love this little set, it’s sweet and educationally savvy, linking well to basic engineering concepts. Get ahold of this, watch the ‘Build with G’ video, and enjoy. I knew this would be an okay build, from when I ordered it, but I wasn’t prepared for how pleased I am with it!
