World's first 1/5 scale LEGO Race / Road Bicycle with unique features such as functional freehub with realistic hub sound, front and rear brakes.

I am a LEGO and a road cycling/triathlon enthusiast who love building LEGO models of what I like doing/having in real life. This bicycle model is product of countless iterations and improvements. And finally, I feel like it is ready for public opinion.

I always thought to myself: why are they hundreds of LEGO race car models, tens of LEGO motor bike but no LEGO bicycle? This thought triggered me to start exploring the idea. When I first started building this model, my goal was to create something that I can put on my book shelf. But over the years, something kept me aiming for better. At times, I felt like it was not possible to achieve certain things/functions in this form factor. Nevertheless, I constantly pushed myself for better. And here we are.

The model tries to replicate an indoor cycling setup where a race bike is mounted on a turbo trainer and connected to a indoor cycling platform. I believe this setup will resonate in thousands of cyclists which have to train indoors during the unpleasant weathers.

The model consists of 3 sub-models :

Bike that can be turned into time-trial/triathlon setup using the clip-on aerobar
Indoor Cycling Platform that doubles as a plaque that one can use as something to ornament the bookshelf or the desk. The power number can be modified to match the cyclist's real functional threshold power.
Turbo trainer that doubles as the stand which helps the bike to stand upright.

In addition to these, what makes my model unique are the following:

World's first 100% LEGO legal compact freehub with realistic hub sound (for those of you who does not know what a freehub is, it is the ingenious mechanism in your real wheel which allows you to coast while cycling)
World's first 100% LEGO legal, fully functional disc brake mechanism
World's first LEGO bicycle drive train design that features chainring, sprocket and jockey wheels that works in conjunction with the freehub
And all of these features packed into 1/5 scale factor

I hope you also like my model and support me in Series 8. And who knows, perhaps this becomes the first LEGO bicycle set to appear on the shelves.
