Would I be correct to assume that 1:6 is small enough to retain sanity?
I'm going to have to wave my hands a bit and say I'm planning for "about" 1:5. I don't know the exact length of this bike (I can't find the numbers). I would say its about 7 feet long. I want the actual model to come out around 18 inches (yeah, that big) so that would make it "about" 1:5. I'm not being a real stickler for exact scale here.

The other constraint here is fitting it on 8.5 x 11 paper (which is all I have in stock). I will shrink the model until it fits this form factor if necessary--so who knows it might end up being closer to 1:6. I might even make an A3 or A4 version if anyone is interested (not sure which one is preferred).
