This set costs about $9 while the Diopark's bicycle costs about $17. If used, it would have not doubled but tripled the price.

Yes, and for a couple more bucks it would have been much more accurate and looked more to scale, as opposed to looking like oversized toys.  But wait, your goal is not quality models, but to collect and display as many as you can, no matter their quality or accuracy.

Diopark makes the better bicycles, but you will essentially double the cost of this set if you buy these for use with the Tamiya Paras

Actually there is a new set of those British bicycles that came out recently. They were reviewed on PMMS at the same time as this set.

Nice job, there has got to be aftermarket bicycle wheels somewhere out there, though.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

That would go nice next to Tri Stars set with the mini bikes.

Nice small vignette! Recommend to have it placed on a nice wooden pedestal.
