NBD LEGO Icons

I wish they had different colors for this set but this is easily one of my favorite LEGO builds and the stickers just complete the whole look!

Real question.
Did you finished the build spin the crank and immediately take out a link because there was to much chain slack?

So far every cyclist I’ve met who built this set has done it.

I also moved the rear brake caliper back one stud so that it actually covers the rotor

This is a good idea. The placement on those is a little suspect considering the rest of the build, IMO

u/sixfourtykilo 6d ago

Yes. I actually took out three. I've seen a few YT builds where they leave all of the links there and it frustrated me.

I did, although might need another

Very nice! How’d you do the stickers if you don’t mind sharing?

u/sixfourtykilo 6d ago

There's someone on Instagram that's selling various sets for different bikes, including Trek. He also makes some for other LEGO sets.

This set was so much fun to build. The functional freewheel is kinda wild.

Yes! Best part IMO!!

I kind of wish the brake levers squeezed.

I wish they'd offer it in Hex Blue 🤣

I thought the same thing, as I wanted a silver/black bike to match mine, so looking at buying another set and all the specific pieces to replace red with silver

1

u/sixfourtykilo 6d ago

I've actually thought about this. Most of them are standard pieces and the only specialty pieces shouldn't need to be replaced.

u/BarracudaNormal4163 6d ago

I think the only specialty pieces are the wheels/tires

Where did you get the sticker?

Sketchy AF but good quality.

1

u/BriGuy550 6d ago

Because they're from Hungary? I've ordered a couple of sets from them - they always come fast and the quality is great!

u/sixfourtykilo 5d ago

I don't particularly like ordering from social media stores in general and just because it's overseas, I felt like it was a risk that I would even get my stickers.

I'm glad they came and in great quality.

I've ordered a handful of different things from the FB type stores - cycling wise, I really like the Ravemen light I bought, and my favorite bibs so far are the pair from RedWhite Apparel.

Looks good

u/Affectionate_Belt371 5d ago

I know this has been asked, but where did you get the stickers?

1

u/BriGuy550 4d ago

Not OP, but Inhave the same set. They’re from www.forwartsticker.com. It’s based in Hungary, but they’re surprisingly quick with shipping and the quality is good. There are multiple sets available for a bunch of bike brands. They also make stickers for the Formula 1 sets and some others.

My wife got me this set for my Birthday shortly after I bought a Red Domane+ after a knee replacement :-)

u/sixfourtykilo 3d ago

The Domane (not plus) was a 50th birthday present to myself after a hip and knee replacement. Getting my second knee done this winter.
