3D bike finished!

A while back I posted the 3D bike I’ve been working on. I finally found some time to get the seat and chain on there.  So now it’s pretty much finished with a brakeless setup. I went a little crazy with the colors when rendering and it’s not super fresh. Might try to render it in a program more suited for photorealistic stuff later.

All in all I’m really happy with how it turned out.  Hope you like it.


Not for stunting?

I work at a bike shop. There I spend a lot of time building BMX bikes, ranging from low end beginner completes, to $3000 top of the line customs.

Today I spotted this sticker on one of the bikes from a company who’s got their debut with completes this year.

I know that it’s probably the factory where it’s made and assembled who’s got some kind of policy to put these stickers on there. But seriously? Since when is a freestyle BMX bike, no matter the price, “Not for stunting”?
