Built a bike over Christmas!
« on: January 03, 2025, 05:55:35 PM »
My lad decided I should get into Lego. Really enjoyed it too.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Very cool Tim. Certainly beats watching TV or being freezing cold in a draughty garage.

You've put me to shame Tim, I was given a model kit of a 400/4 two years ago, it's still in my wardrobe. Pretty sure I will never assemble it.

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

That's really good Tim. Maybe they're the only types of bikes we will all be building as we get older 😂😂😂😂

These models are so cool, I did nearly buy an adult Lego kit when I was in Smiths toy shop with the family. The price at the time put me off.🫢 Things have progressed a fair bit since just the red and white bricks!🤣

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without stepping on a lego brick or barefoot onto a drawing pin.
