Man keep this frame design forever, people from 30 years from now should be driving bikes like this! Cant imagine how awesome would it be if built in alu or carbon fiber.
Love the look of your creation and also great inspiration for all would be bike builders - you just need to get on and do it - just keep safety in mind!
You may barely see it, but you would feel the flex on the tail side when skiding or braking probably due to lack of support from upper tube. He needs to reinforce the tail end or atleast swap it to more rigid type of metal.
That is a big advantage for a steel bike.. you can make changes and modification or you can easily re use parts of frames to do something like this.. I like it!! Great Job!
This is a fantastic design. I think it has potential. If it were available in the market, I would definitely buy it. I will name this bike for you "THE PREDATOR X1"
Didn't you post that on Reddit a few months ago ? I didn't know it was you, pleasantly surprised to see that a project I kept in my head it made it into on of your videos ! I suggested black, others red, cool way to get the best of the two. Still waiting for it to turn into a replica motorcycle by adding cardboard ;)
Dude, you literally created the same painting as me. Only that I made it with a wood called kiri, it is very resistant and very light, the complete bicycle weighs around 6kg. fixie forever. Hello from Argentina ♥️♥️♥️
@@geoffersmaheri converted steel bike from 70' to fixie and it weights 10kg. No brakes, seat with bare plastic, cut out cable eyelets. So 11kg for bike made from ordinary steel square tubing isnt that bad.
You are so talented man!! Thank you for responding to my inquiry on IG and being so helpful. You have a very bright future ahead of you and hope to join you for the ride!
You mean like the PX Series from Cervelo? This design is an eye catcher without any question but it will always have issues in lateral stiffness. This frame design is also currently not race legal in bike races. Beside all these things, this bike looks pretty nice. Well done.
You need to check out the frames made by the bike company Softride. Sadly the company shut down their frame factory a few years after the UCI banned them from competition. I still own a Power V that I ride fairly often.
Is the front disc wheel just for asthetics or does it serve a real purpose for stability? Normally you only run a single disc wheel on the rear on a Track or TT bike. If you didn't opt to run both front and rear disc wheels for aerodynamics.
It's merely an aesthetics thing. It is an authentic used bike-polo front wheel which was given to me. I wanted to honour this former bike-polo player. But indeed, it's absolutely horrifying to ride this thing during wind! You must be so alert.
Really loving this build! Great job. But please be safe out there🙏🏻 I would guess the two welds on the „top tube“ are the most critical ones. Hope they’re doing well Greetings
I really appreciate your work u helped me so much , trying to find research for building a fully custom frame that’s not like every other bike is a little hard there’s barley any videos on it , I’m building a fully custom e bike and this helped a lot thank you
Very cool, I like how visually it seems very front-heavy due to the closed wheel and seat only attached to the front, whereas most bikes look either more balanced or rear-heavy.
man. i envy the skills of people abroad. and you young people having the equipment to do these DIY Jobs.... i must say, the bike looks extremely cool. and it reminds me of the AKIRA road bike ...and it also reminds me of the 80's triathlon bikes
All steel is equally stiff. Different steel alloys will have significant differences in elongation, corrosion resistance, strength, ease of machining/abrasion resistance, ability to withstand high temperatures when welding... Rigidity is largely about cross section or diameter as it's diameter x diameter x diameter x diameter x wall thickness x rigidity of the material (for example aluminum is a less rigid material than steel for a given amount) ÷ length ^3. A stronger steel such as cromo, heat treated cromo, heat treated air hardening steels such as 4340... allows larger diameters with thinner tubing walls which allows it to be stiffer and lighter and probably stronger.
Don't worry about a heavy bike, it will preserve momentum. Harder to get it going but easier to keep it going. I read an interview with a guy in the UK who's famous for only doing Audax rides (how far you can go in a set time usually 12+ hrs). And he does it on a cheep £300 steel frame - rest of his bike is worth a fortune though. TLDR - as long as your not doing hills #Holland and not having to stop for traffic often, a heavy frame is actually better.
Could have smoothen out the welds, not very reliable/strong (since there is no testing made), BUT overall nice looking bike, 10/10 PS: you've earned my sub
Nice to see some creativity . I ride a recumbent as i enjoy comfort and speed with no pains at the end of any ride . It would be interesting to see what you can do away from the diamond frame basis to what most bikes are based on.
Brass ones! Surely you were experiencing anxiety throughout the whole process. Like, the possibility it would totally collapse on first test. I respect that. I do some frame modifications myself, and have experienced some failure. Though not as much as one would expect. I've made my own quill stem adaptor to allow me to mount modern bars and stem on vintage steel frames. My current daily rider is an old steel Miyata 310 roadbike frame, converted to freewheel single speed.
hey man loved the vid, just wanted to mention that i think the way you mounted the cutting disk on the grinder at approx 3:12 is backward as the metal pressed center should go under the locking nut. as someone whos had grinding disks fly apart themselves id hate to see you get hurt doing what you love, all the best!
THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING BIKE I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. I want this as my city bike 100%
THIS is one of the SICKEST bikes i have ever seen being built! Keep up the good work!!
This was amazing, would like to see some upgrades and a part 2 on it
please that would be amazing

Agreed, I wondered what his intention was for the front aero wheel?
@@-Flea Did you watch to the end? It's not actually an awro mod. The covers are there for "bike polo". To prevent the mallet from going between the spokes.
@@AnttiBrax no I didn’t actually, that makes sense thx for clarification
The cover isn't there to be aerodynamic, this is commonly done for bike polo. It protects the spokes of the front wheel.

Thats one of the craziest bikes ive seen and this video was very funny and well edited.
"This monstreeeuuuusity" is awesome, signature paint job.
Beautiful work. Very satisfying to see you ride it at the end. Such a striking shape.
This build earned a sub.
That looks rad
Seconded
Make that three... I would ride the shit outta that rig
100% I don't know how it got on my feed. BUT, I'm glad it did. Awesome stuff dude!
lol rad actually means wheel in german
They didn't claim it so count me 4th!
i come from downhill mtb, never even sat on a fixie and now you got me wanting to build one. that things sick af
Dude, those final result shots are awesome!
❤️
man this is ccrazy carzy crazy and i love it
Lol
Man keep this frame design forever, people from 30 years from now should be driving bikes like this! Cant imagine how awesome would it be if built in alu or carbon fiber.
Steel gives it springiness.. that's usually good for floating seats, carbon & alu would be stuper stiff
You can buy a frame like this in Carbon Fiber from 25 years ago. It's called a Trek Y Frame....
Love the look of your creation and also great inspiration for all would be bike builders - you just need to get on and do it - just keep safety in mind!
Yes, good point sir! Thanks!
Good work my friend, you are correct, I've built a few bike frames from scratch and I still ride one.
probably the most comfortable fixed gear there is. subbed!
Some would say this is crude,but in my eyes this is a beauty of its own.
I'm also wondering how that flex is like
Wondering the same thing
You may barely see it, but you would feel the flex on the tail side when skiding or braking probably due to lack of support from upper tube. He needs to reinforce the tail end or atleast swap it to more rigid type of metal.
Awesome, I should try something similiar soon - so far only frame conversions. Very well put together, frame and video - creative and funky! Mahlzeit!
What a nice job! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Awesome build. Would love to see something similar in lighter materials
Amazing job and result. Love your videos. Congrats
11 kilograms isn’t that heavy, my Giant aluminium racer is 10. I like the style of the bike you made, nicely done.

this is sick i saw it one time on insta on some fixed gear page nice too see the person who made it
All the bike needs is a brake stay to stiffen the rear triangle
I have thought about this yeah!

i can't believe that u made this thing
as a bike frame builder i am blown by this

Nice! The two-color paint on the square tubes really lights it up!. A stronger steel alloy such as 4130 may flex less.

If you added a bit of suspension to the seat with 2 hinges or something it would’ve taken this to a whole other level
This is fantastic stuff, man! I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your future projects. Good luck with them!
Awesome design, but for me it looks kinda dangerous because the back has no tube. But it looks cool
yooo good job I like the bike a lot, it looks so futuristic
Cool shots, cool video quality, cool music. I watched from 0 to end, thumb up
