Marin Mountain Bike (WIP)

Wow! This model so far is incredible! What would be awesome is instead of textures of stitching on the saddle, actual 3d stitches.
-
Amazing stuff Richard, keep it up.
-
I just love this kind of projects;-) really amazing work, and I like your attention to details, I am looking forward to seeing your update, just keep them coming;-) It is Friday, I am almost done with work, so I won't model anything this weekend, but you gave me a few pretty good ideas for the next week;-))
Cheers and keep it up

That did cross my mind (and will probably try it at a later date!..)
In the meantime I've had a few minutes spare to model a brake disc rotor

You keep blowing my mind. As you can guess from my handle, I've spent a lot of time on bicycles and working on bicycles. (can't ride any more due to bad knees.
)
Your model wants me to make up a custom lugged frame in SU. The brazers deserve some attention too.

This whole thing has been a tease. I wanna see the finished bike already! Haha, no rush though.

I would love too see the finished bike too!! When I first thought about doing this I hadn't really intended to go into quite so much detail as I have, but I don't really have enough spare time to do as much as I'd like to with this.
I'm glad I have gone into as much detail as I have, and I am determined to get this finished eventually!! but I will be glad when it's complete.

Keep up the good work! We're all pulling for you!
Cheers,

Just browsing the forum and noticed a recent reply to this...
It's a shame that I haven't done any work on this since my last update (as the dates are all wrong after the forum transfer I've no idea when that was - a few months at least!), but I just haven't had the time to do this or much other su work for that matter
Perhaps I will finish it one day...

Hi there,
I can only be in admiration for this great modelizing work !!
Anyway, I dare be doubtful about using SU in this case ... I'm just a beginer using Sketchup but I'm originaly (long time ago) specialised in CAM (for Computer Aided MAnufacturing or Machining) operations (using CATIA and Applicon Bravo).
This modelizing work for assembly/conception is a common task using enhanced solutions, even some free solutions emerging from the free community (some say they're pretty much useable, but I never) ...
I think positionning, exploded view generation or assembly could be really painful using SU.Is my question relevant ??

This model is incredible!

Haven't done anything with this for a long time, but got the urge to resurrect this model yesterday...
So here are the new parts...
The chain...
and
A Pedal...

Mind blowing just mind blowing....

...silver_shadow has presented inspiration?

OK, this has taken a few attempts to get right - the first time went completely wrong, the second time I modelled the whole thing at the wrong size. The difficult bit was making sure the distance between each tooth was the same for each gear, and in the end I resorted to using autocad to set the basic shapes up.
I still need to model the final two gears and connecting parts but here are the first 7 gears.
-
have to use all the tools available to you
haha
looks awesome..love how you've got the taper on the tooth and everything!
-
Very good stuff. This thread has been fun to watch. Aren't modern rear cogs now on a spider rather than put on individually?
