File this under: road bike launches we didn\u2019t see coming. Lego, yes, that Lego, just introduced the Icons Road Bike (11380). This road bike replica kit is fully functional and meticulously detailed, from the working drivetrain to the removable water bottle and rear light. It\u2019s also aero-optimized with deep-section wheels, bladed fork legs, and a modern design that looks kinda like a Colnago Y1Rs<\/a>, if you ask me.<\/p>\n

There are 1,015 pieces in the Icons Road Bike kit. Thankfully, there are 3D instructions available.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Icons Road Bike is part of Lego\u2019s Icons collection, which includes a wide variety of Lego kits. From the U.S.S. Enterprise and classic cars to Transformers and the Space Shuttle, Lego Icons appear to be aimed squarely at adults. In fact, they are all intended for users 18 and older. I was a child in the 80s and 90s, but I haven\u2019t played with Legos in many years. Still, I definitely got a little nostalgic surfing around on the Lego website. And now they drop a Lego bike? Take my money!<\/p>\n

I hope it comes with a pre-waxed chain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Icons Road Bike frame is made of many pieces of plastic, of course, and Lego went all in on the details to make it as realistic as possible. That includes front-wheel steering and a functional drivetrain with a freewheel mechanism that allows you to backpedal or let the rear wheel spin on the stand. It has deep-section aero rims, rubber tires with road optimized tread, a derailleur, disc brake calipers and rotors, clipless pedals, shifters, and the aforementioned bottle and rear light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only thing that really gives away the fact that it\u2019s not a real road bike is the lack of handlebar tape, or perhaps that’s just to save some weight? Oh, that and it’s also just 14\u201d tall and 23.5\u201d long.\u00a0Still, Jordan says it wouldn’t last 10 minutes in his house before his youngest kid tried to ride it.<\/p>\n

No handlebar tape = unrideable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
