Good start user added image . It looks like it'll be a pain to model the gears and stuff.

Hello,

Good progress. It looks as though the profile of the downtube is wrong though, as you made it flatter vertically it should have been made wider horizontally at the same time. I hope my diagram explains it better than my words.

Take it easy,

Mat.

Nice start! Now this is what I want to see you makin! Really good! I can only find one thing to comment on: the inside of the cog on the middle is very angular, maybe smooth out 1 or 2 times???
anyway, nice start, looken foreward to thees.
