Looking for bikes

[Conquistador]

Do they come painted?

Gracias,

Ok then quick recap:

Hotwheels trikes and bikes, used by myself, pappa midnight and a few others.

Doug at Em4 miniatures carries the old grenadier p;oice bike, sports road bike and scrambler.

Eureka Miniatures have scramblers and quads with their moderns range.

I think TAG do a quad too.

Westwind Roadkill have a complete biker gang and various characters with bikes.

Curtis at Ramshackle Games has a range of component resin bikes with or without riders.

Bicycles is going to be a lot harder but foundry do one in their WWII range I think.

Jo over at Black Cat Bases does a BMX bike with a hoody ghoul rider, (which is completely separate) so that might be your best bet:



Hope this helps and welcome.

No, unpainted. The shots are just examples from the Dixon website.

@Vyper:What's difficult about ordering from Dixons?

Their pennyfarthing is really good, but not realy what I´m looking for... I want a plain, modern bicycle without a rider.

That's what the one I linked to is: for some reason, there is no photo.

You might also try architectural model suppliers.  4D Model Shop in London used to (and probably still does) sell some 1/50 styrene bicycles - but they are a little flat.

Dixon's do a pack of 8 bikes for £10.

About half way down the page.

Wow! Too bad they don´t have a picture. But the scale is right, so maybe I´ll order a pack. Thanks!

Ah, of course! I didn´t even look at the ones with riders on.

Anyhow, i ordered a pack. I´ll give you a short reveiw here when I get them. Thanks for all the help.

Try Rattlehead Games under the product line for Road Kill. They have several types of bikers mounted and unmounted.

No, unpainted. The shots are just examples from the Dixon website.

Have no idea what you're going on about mate?

I think he meant finding them in general.  There are not many options out there for bicycles.

I see, thought he meant he'd had problems with an order.

[abrelax]

I´ve ordered 10 bicycles from Dixon, but they have´nt arrived yet. Thanks for the help, I´ll have a look at Rattlehead Games as well.

West Wind does bikes, too.

All I can find att West Wind is a bicycle in a pack of civilinas, but it´s got a rider on it... But thanks anyway. Any other suggestions?

Yes, there are the civilians with the one fellow on the bike - which is very nice - but joras may have also been referring to the many MOTORbikes that West Wind does in their Road Kill line...

I have one of the sisterhood bike gang packs - pretty cool, but on the biggish side of 28mm!

Devil Dog Design also did modern US military recon/scout types on motorbikes and ATVs

I'd love to see modern minis on road and mountain bicycles too... but then... I'm a bit of a bike nut... I don't think there's enough others out there that would make it financially viable for any manufacturers to bother.
