Completing the Bike - page 1

Here we go! After 15 months you are about to complete the bike. I know you are tired. It has been a long ride. You are probably thirsty so we might as well create the bike’s water bottle. Below are the dimensions you will need:

*Description*	*Diameter*	Foreshortened Height @ 70 percent
Pop-up cap	0.725	0.22
Stem	0.587	0.22
Cap	2.125 to 0.587 at the top	1.00
Neck	2.25 to 1.75 to 2.125 at the top	0.75
Base top	2.75	0.875
Grip	2.50	5 X 0.125
Base	2.875	2.80

For the past few tutorials we have been using the "Big Bike" icon at the bottom of the page. We will continue that practice here. Open a new drawing. We will bring the bottle and mount to the bike page at the end of this tutorial.

	Create circles in the diameter shown working from the bottom (Base) to the top. In case where there is more than one diameter create them all. Label the circles if you need. Convert all to curves.
	The water bottle sits on nearly a 45-degree angle. Illustrating that will require a very open ellipse. We will use a 70-degree ellipse. Apply a 94 percent vertical scale to everything. Fill all of the ellipses with white.
