I just finished my tall bike with the help of your video. I always thought building a tall bike was beyond my skill level, but your excellent video gave me the confidence to try it! I just took my first ride yesterday and it was a blast! I'm very proud of my tall bike, and I appreciate your very helpful video. I must have watched it 100 times, haha. It is the best tallbike how-to video on TH-cam. Thanks and happy Fathers Day!
This comment makes me so happy. Be safe on your new bike and make sure to check the basics often, like integrity of welds, your chain, loose bolts/nuts. I’m on vacation with the one from this video right now, I’m glad other people are riding high.
Best advice I found on TH-cam to make a tallbike thanks! Using the timber to hold the frames where you want them makes it so much easier to line up the head tubes, and the holesaw for the seat post is great, plus this made my ride higher as I wasn't going to use the seat post and just go frame to frame, awesome job I'm riding tall in Australia to now cheers 👍🍺
Thank you so much. Wish I could be riding there with you. I see so many poorly built tallbikes online and I want people to know they can be strong and good looking.
Wow man. I just now got the new uploads notification. Glad to see you're still uploading and doing well! We gotta hang out again after C19 blows off more. I'll make sure to rate this video 5 stars!
Best video I have seen on making these , you seem like a really awesome neighbour to have , hope you are doing well . I will subscribe so I don’t miss out on your new videos ! Take care and please don’t hesitate to make more content , you are a real pleasure to watch !
Great video! Have built about a dozen tall bikes and really like how you did the steer tube. My favorite tall mountain bike is built on a mountain bike frame with front suspension fork and the seat height at 52" from ground. Mountian bike handle bars 58" from ground. Center of cranks 24 1/2" from ground. Run it with 7 speed cassette and just the middle chain ring. Just have front brakes Can ride it hard and fast at that height. Have alot of trees and the taller ones restrict me from riding alot of places.
Years ago I built a BMX tall bike. 26” mountain bike bottom frame and 20” BMX top frame. Not real tall, but stable on the local skate park. I know the issues with low trees all too well.
It’s been a while but I did use a hole saw bit, you’re probably right about it being around 1”. This only works since it landed on tubing on the top frame, if it hit the bottom bracket and you drilled and inserted the seat post it would interfere with the bearings and spindle.
Great video! keep coming back to this one, as it is the best in my opinion. I do have a question for you. What is the "rule of thumb" when choosing frames to stick together? I have a pretty tall bike that I was planning to use as my base frame (56cm mountain/road bike) but Im having a tough time choosing the top one! Thanks so much in advance!
Thank you for this very intersting Video! I'd love to build a Tall Bike myself, but i don't know anything about welding. what kind of welding machine did you use? and what about the bikes frame? Aluminium or steel? greating from France
Just built my first tall bike using the instructions in this video. Super helpful! Thanks!
That’s awesome.
Enjoyed the video. Some good information in it. Nice work on the bike and the video. Would like to see more videos like this.

Wow, thank you for sharing your build. I've always loved tall bikes. Thank you for helping keep biking cool, weird, and fun.
I really appreciate this.
Excellent, Justin. Thanks for sharing that with the world! At my age it would be ridiculous to build and ride a Tall Bike, but then again, why not?

@@DentedFenderGarage I wish I could send you a picture back

Awesome video man! You got a subscriber.
Great job, Justin.
This is really helpful. I'm getting ready to start my first tall bike project. You in Virginia? Alexandria here.
What did you use to drill the hole into the bottom of the frame for the seat post to go through? It looks like a 1 inch hole. Thank you.
It’s been a while but I did use a hole saw bit, you’re probably right about it being around 1”. This only works since it landed on tubing on the top frame, if it hit the bottom bracket and you drilled and inserted the seat post it would interfere with the bearings and spindle.
@@DentedFenderGarage That makes sense. Thanks for the reply and also for the helpful video. Hopefully I'll be riding tall soon :)

Mild steel or chromoly steel all weld together well.
haha i'm first, btw this is brayden. i'm andrews cousin.
Thank you for this very intersting Video!
I'd love to build a Tall Bike myself, but i don't know anything about welding.
what kind of welding machine did you use?
and what about the bikes frame? Aluminium or steel?

This is a Lincoln WeldPak, its 120v so not special plug or power need and gasless, so no gas. Bike frames were just steel from Walmart.
