Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Siegfried

his set was great for me as I have never had a Technic bike. However for those that want this for just parts or have other bikes it could be a hard sell. The alternate model (a chopper) is a complete rebuild (which I didn't make), and it's great that Lego have been including these most of the time lately.

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

The chain migrates outwards to the wrong position, but that's the only real downside. Even the front struts don't wobble quite so much, because they're mounted closer to the vertical.

Recommendation: no 35 / 50 by John

I wouldn't call it very collectible, but there aren't too many bikes that Technic has made of this variety, so it's close. If you're not precious about the MISB factor, then save yourself a bit of money and go for a used one. This is a set that'd be nice to own, and for me it's special because of my childhood, but it's still a set that could easily be overlooked if you had other distractions.
