Wow this is the first carbon build I have seen. What a great effort to build this beautiful bike from scratch. I’d love to see a video in 6 and 12 months to see how the bike stands up. Well done Andy you have created a masterpiece!!!!
Thank you. I must admit I no longer use it because I made some errors with geometry. The bike ultimately was a bit wobbly due to vertical slack (or lack of lean angle). Perhaps one day I can revisit this project and do another one with proper slack angle
@@AndyEFonTH-cam Thanks for the inside, not everyone is so open. When you also try geometry, do it with steel or wood first. Then rebuild it in carbon. Which you can, you already proved. Stay safe!
Incredible amounts if patience in making the frame & I really hope it serves you well for a long time. You're obviously a thoughtful man with great ability in making things. Today's carbon frames are designed & made up in a different way, with the tubes actually being different thicknesses & varied thicknesses, plus multiple direction of layering. This produces a stiffer, stronger, comfier & more compliant frame once built in to a bike. Time will tell on yours & I admire you very much for your effort. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hats off to you for the incredible build ! I started out framebuilding like you using hand made jigs. I used particle board and plywood almost 3 decades ago. I was brazing then so had to have a bucket of water nearby. Still riding the frames i built then. Will do a recumbent build like yours. I remember visiting a town framebuilder in Italy back in the 90's. He built steel frames without any jig. Just used a bike stand to hold tubes, strings to measure the symmetry of the frame. With enough desire to build a frame and with knowledge now available on the web, framebuilding is now within reach of home framebuilders.
Thanks. And that's very true as you said. Limited tools will not prevent us from doing what we like. Just a bit more of attention to details and it is possible. Cheers
I never really liked Carbon Fiber due to its cost and short lifespan but seeing your humble build made me appreciate your dedication to the craft, like a carpenter to wood or a leather crafter to leather. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and hoping over day you'd publish a steel bike video.
You say "I hope she will stand the test of time", I'm sure everyone says that about those $10,000 bikes they buy too. It's definitely an unknown so I'm wishing you the best. I really like the shifter choice you made. I use friction shifters from Gevenalle on my cyclocross bike and love them. Good luck to you Sir.
Few weeks ago I watched your Raleigh's video and I already found it awesome, but this time you bring it to the next level. Great job ! Can't wait to see your next project!
Awesome build!! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am willing to build my own frame like this, but not enough sure I can do it with my ordinary tools, but you have proved that at least you did it!!
Thank you! And good luck on your own project. Just be very careful with carbon fibers. Make sure you get proper respirator and protect your body with disposable coverall - carbon fiber slivers are very itchy and sharp
Such a beautiful bicycle, I wish to be this knowledgeable one day and try something like this myself. For now, i just recently learned how to change my tyre properly haha
Thanks. There was never a drawing of the jig. Simply something I put up based on what I had in mind. I do use an existing frame to give me guidance of the length needed for the sort of sizing for my body
Super cool!😎 Amazing work Andy! And 5.9kg weight 🤪 Bike of this weight,here in Europe, would cost like probably over 10 000 euros! I couldn't like never afford that!
Thank you! That Raleigh is right in front of my desk still awaiting her turn to be swapped in back to action. I love that Raleigh frame so that's a keeper for sure
Awesome build Andy! You make it look simple for hobbyist to attempt DIY carbon bike build. Can you share where you source for bottom bracket shell and the rear fork attachment?
Bonjour, joli travail ! Pouvez-vous nous dire quel est la marque et le modèle de manettes de frein, de freins, de changements de vitesses, que vous avez utilisé ? Merci.
This is pretty cool, actually!!! Bravo on this build! But when you first started off with the straight-gauge carbon fiber tubes in the metal lugs, I was hoping you'd build a 90s-era type lugged CF bike frame for a retro feel. In any case, your build is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, I am genuinely interested in building a bamboo bike myself as I believe bamboo has unique combination akin to achieving a tolerance between steel and carbon fiber
Hi, thank you for this informative video ! What that of tube did you use ? Rolled Wrapped ? How is the torsional stiffness ? How much better would a Pull Winded or Braided tube would perform in torsion compared to a Roll Wrapped ? Regards
Nice vid, good job. Haven't seen anything dome like that before - just heard "carbon is a pain to work with" but a respirator and some tools, lots of patience and dedication seem to suffice.
@@AndyEFonTH-cam I fixed my typo but that's good wording as well. At what points did you feel the odds against you? After your initial hickup with the jig everything seemed to have been fairly smooth.
@@Jacksparrow4986 Several times, especially when the jig started to mess with the alignment, and then of course during the lay up stage, when it looked like a total mess haha
What cranks are those? Really good job…. Should do another one as after your first attempt you’d get the second one perfect as know the process now…. I’d be itching to make another Also given me the confidence watching this to edit one of my frames how I always wanted to But if I could also know about them cranks
Those crank is a highly modded Q Rings rotor adapted to a FOVNO Goblin arms and Spindle which has been carved hollow to shave massive weight. Unfortunately I don't have video on it. Yes I have solid ideas now on my next carbon frame which I will likely do end of this year. Especially needing to simplify my the lay up process
Just beautiful. No other word. Just beautiful. This gives me hope that i too could work on a project like this. How well is your frame holding up? Have you bench tested it? I would love to build something like this but I'm concerned about how strong the joints are. Could you share your experience? Thank you mate
Thank you. Last Saturday ride, bike still holding great. I even did that thing like descending down some stairs (sloping ones) and was genuinely pleased my bike still in one piece. Lol. My only advise is don't take carbon fiber lightly with the hazard risks. Use skin protection all the time. Cheers
Great vid and a superb work. Quick question. What tire width & psi would you go normally for light gravel on this and the Raleigh? Asking out of curiosity, although it's different from rider to rider
Thanks. For my weight which is 60kg, I go gravel with no more than 75 PSI on 28c tyres. I would go lower on pressure for bigger tyres, like 50PSI even on 40c
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
You know whatyou should do with thar frame? Finish aanding it and then cut it up to make molds for your jointa and cast them Thwy would be much stronger would look better. The unevenness of the joints and the non uniform grinding and sanding givevmevlow confidence in the strength of the frame. Use ir to make
ótimo video , eu gostaria de saber o que é aquela pasta branca aplicada no dropout.. outra pergunta , o guia dos cabos de aço voc/~e não mostrou como foi feito, fiquei querendo saber
I'm making and repairing bicycles since 2007. A thing to avoid is laminate carbon fiber without any insulation like glass fiber over metal parts, such as aluminum and steel, problem is the galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel and titanium without insulation are OK.
It's Fovno Goblin heavily machined to shave weights. My Rotor Q Rings uses Rotor mount but I hacked in a three hole mounting around it to match the Fovno SRAM 3 points mount, and it worked!
I used 2mm thickness mostly. But I must say for my weight which is at 59kg, I wished I would have gone a bit thicker with the seat tube, and seat stays, 2mm is not enough to offer proper rigidity, my bike ended up flexy under heavy pedalling. So if I am doing next frame, it will be at least 4mm thickness for the seat tube, seat stays and the chain stays. Top and bottom tubes can be 2mm for as long as they are not smaller than 36mm in diameter
Yes Surly Corner Bar was the inspiration, ZNIINO then adapted the concept for a carbon fiber version with narrower angle. I further modded it shorter on the ends
love the osprey decals, and really awesome build! just one point, apparently carbon dust is really bad for the lungs, and i notice you were wearing a fabric mask in one of the video clips. maybe you might want to look into a industrial respirator (about 30$usd i think), especially if you are sanding so much carbon. cheers! hope to see more creative builds in the future
Thank you. And you are correct. I am going to get proper masks if I am doing anything to do with Carbon fibers. They are nasty! I have to swap a few 3M face masks in doing this one
1. Не указан вес получившейся рамы. Карбоновая рама делается либо ради жесткости, либо ради веса. 2. Дорогая рама от дешевой отличается количеством смолы между волокнами, тут явно очень много смолы между волокнами. 3. Сколько всего денег ушло суммарно на расходные компоненты и материалы? 4. Так как прошел уже год, интересно как поживает рама сейчас, особенно в области задних перьев и кареточного стакана.
I stopped using it a while ago, I made some error with the geometry being too upright and doesn't feel comfortable for long ride, even wobbly. I am back riding a Shimano steel bike now that you can check on my other video. The carbon frame is still with me hanging on the wall
Omg I might just build my own lightweight frame! Hehe. Thanks for the very good info. Please update us on the durability especially of the jointed parts. Ride safe
Sanding done in three different methods. Using rotary machines like my dremel drill and grinder with 80 grit bits. Then hand sanding using sandpapers, then wet sanding for finishing touches. Nothing special. Just repetitive and exhausting works
If you have Shopee in your country, use Shopee. Or you can use AliExpress, search for keywords Carbon Tube and you will find sellers offering different sizes. Make sure to get tube thickness no less than 2mm. Good luck. And be careful woth handling carbon fibers, always use respirator and coverall to protect yourself, the carbon fiber fumes are hazardous
It is no longer in use but it lasted for a while. The reasons I didn't use it anymore because I made the wrong calculation on the geometry which is lacking slack making the bike unstable at certain angles
![เปิดบ้าน เปิด Supercar อั๋นโอกิ เคยเอา rolls Royce เเลกพระ องค์ละ 100 ล้าน l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FeGwJwXauZ0/mqdefault.jpg)
CAUTION: Working with Carbon Fibers are EXTREMELY hazardous. Usage of proper breathing apparatus and body coverall is a MUST. Don't take RISKS!
Spraying the carbon with a little water when cutting/sanding will help minimize fibers going up into the air and breathing them in

Look at his Shimano restoration video, incredible.
cost? what cost? it costs 30 USD for 1m x 1.2m , 0.25mm thick. you are probably living under a rock
Carbon has better fatigue properties than everything but titanium

anyone that has built a bamboo frame would be familiar with this technique and find this pretty easy.... and a heck of a lot lighter!....
Does the bamboo bike frame approx to under 800gm once finished? I genuinely want to know. This frame is 790gm with RD hanger and cable guides attached
@@AndyEFonTH-cam most bamboo frames will easily be double the weight of carbon. I think my bamboo frame was 1.4 kg with carbon fork.

Could yoh tell me lenght of each tube? Did you buy 1000mm or 500mm long pieces?

Did you measure the head tube angle? Looks pretty steep?
I'm making and repairing bicycles since 2007. A thing to avoid is laminate carbon fiber without any insulation like glass fiber over metal parts, such as aluminum and steel, problem is the galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel and titanium without insulation are OK.
Motivation
Impressive.
What brand/type of crank did you use?
The crank arms are custom modded FOVNO Goblin I did sometime ago. The chainring of course ROTOR Q Rings
Great work. I am curious about durability of the frame after solid milage.
Ps. Did you removed half of SPD pedals ;p ?
Thanks. As I mentioned, only time will tell. Yes the SPD is one side only 😜
What kind of cranks arms are? They look very lightness
It's Fovno Goblin heavily machined to shave weights. My Rotor Q Rings uses Rotor mount but I hacked in a three hole mounting around it to match the Fovno SRAM 3 points mount, and it worked!
truly incredible, what was the weight of the frame alone?
Thanks!. The frame alone js 780gm
Fun.
Emezing👍👍👍
How thick are your tubes? And how much do you weigh? I'm planning to build a similar one, will 2mm ones be enough for a 50kgs rider?
I used 2mm thickness mostly. But I must say for my weight which is at 59kg, I wished I would have gone a bit thicker with the seat tube, and seat stays, 2mm is not enough to offer proper rigidity, my bike ended up flexy under heavy pedalling.
