Questions about this item

How do I assemble the 71 steel sheets without glue or paint?

Each of the 71 parts is pre-cut from thin steel sheets; fold the tabs along the scored lines and insert them into matching slots using tweezers for grip. The most common mistake is bending a tab the wrong way before it locks, which weakens the joint.

Will any part of the Classic Bicycle "Bon Voyage" need replacement after it is built?

The model is a static display piece made entirely of steel; no moving components, consumables or batteries are included, so nothing wears out or requires periodic replacement.

What physical limit appears first if the finished 5.75-inch model is handled repeatedly?

The delicate tab-and-slot connections can loosen or snap if the 1.75-inch-wide frame is flexed, so treat the assembled bicycle as a display item rather than a toy.
