Does anyone make a bicycle in 1/48, or any O scale? Preferably in PE, but beggars can't be choosers!

Not all PE, but Eduard's Japanese figures in 1/48 come with a bicycle, and IIRC the spokes might be PE, they're not a solid disc I do remember that much.

Are you sure Eduard makes a Japanese crew set? Eduard doesn't have it in their catalogue. Maybe long OOP.

I'm thinking it's probably looooong OOP, I know I'm not dreaming though I had eyes on the figgies the other day when I was looking for an arm for a figure conversion... yeah, that Frankenstein thing I know. I'm almost 100% sure the bicycle is in the drawer, too. If you need/want it, let me know.

Bandai made a kit in the 70s that had rafts and bicycles. You can still find them on Ebay now and then.

I got the Parkin's ones. Some parts are a little flat, but they are 1/48. Very nice with a bit of extra detailing - brake lines. etc.
