It is, like they say : Time flies, when you are havin' fun.
I was 30 years old, not long ago, now I am 77 !
I must have had a lot of fun.
That's great you are still here....
Back in early 1980’s I used to be changing my mountain bike every few months,whenever new tech. showed itself.( was working with friends in Walton Street Cycles,Oxford,U.K. However I kept best components from each bike. Bull noose handlebars were one component that went from bike to bike…SO COOL!
I have never heard them called Bull Noose bars before... but I think I know what you are talking about...
Haircut! Looking sharp.
Thanks! Yes, it was time to have a little trim...
Bought a Schwinn High Sierra mountain bike that came with the bull moose handlebar while at college 1984. Great memories.😊❤
Yes, that is the time frame for sure!
I would have said the same thing Mitch did about using feeler gauges. Thanks for the explanation!
Thanks Scott. Although, as someone else pointed out, I could have used a feeler gauge and milled the bottom of the aluminum upright. But, I was getting tired and that thought did not enter my brain at that moment...
Watching you do things is like watching a magician reveal his secrets ❤️🛠️😎
Magic... OK, I will go with that. Thanks for watching!
Well damn Paul, I guess we're all getting old. This morning I had notifications from two other channels that I'm subscribed to; Max Fredrickson and Matt Jones. They're both MTB free riders, but here I am watching your video first. Well done Sir!
That's a very nice compliment... Thank you!
That is a pretty slick fixture you have there. I was wondering how you would clamp the bar pieces and then you showed us. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks Tom. I think it's our first video just making a fixture. I had been wanting to do a Bull Moose bar project for quite a while....
7/8"x0.35 4130 at aircraftspruce is ~7USD per foot.
Nice bicycle in the background! Mke a short video about it! It's so beautiful!
If you're talking about the blue bike, it's going in the June Bike Show. I'm sure Mitch will be filming
@@paulbrodie yes I am talking about the blue one. Beautiful bike!
Another superb watch
Cheers Chris
Thanks Chris. Yes, I am having fun too!
Thank you Professor for the lesson. Now, about the bike in the stand in the back…..
It's a pleasure and joy to watch you plan, explain, and execute each project! Love the way even a jig (complicated jig) ends up looking like art/sculpture (I would display this in my living room)! Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!
Thank you very much! Very nice comments :)
Hear Hear!
That is a very well made fixture👍. I started teaching Industrial arts/shop in 1975. One of the previous courses taught at the high school was a class on building fixtures because there were a bunch of textbooks called "Building Jigs and Fixtures." The textbook is probably just what you were looking for in the library, but judging from your skills I don't think you needed the book.
Thank you. I think I did end up buying that book you mentioned, but there was nothing applicable to building bicycle frames and forks. I really am Self Taught....
Great video Paul and Mitch. I have the same Moore and Wright Combination Set, proper quality. Best wishes, Dean.
Thanks Dean. Good tools are great!
Nice work. You are looking well. Fixtures for production take a lot of thought and work. Good luck
Thank you. You are correct. a good Fixture does not happen "Just like that!... They take time.
I always liked those Bullmoose bars, great job on that fixture jig!! Can’t wait to see you bend/cut and weld up a couple sets!!! Thanks for sharing Mr. Brodie
Thanks 👍 Rick. Have a great day :)
thanks for the video! Very interesting to watch.
Thank you very much...
Brilliant as always 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you very much.
Cool as ever Mr Brodie. (Sorry I fell asleep mid video but I went for TWO tiring bike rides earlier today and I ain't getting any younger. Will try harder tomorrow).
Thanks Hertog, but you're not supposed to tell me that you fell asleep while watching... :)
excellent work paul 👏
Greeves in the UK had a similar bar, we used them on our track bicycles.
These bars go back to the eighties... was Greeves in the eighties?
I’m going back to the 50s we used to build our bikes from dump finds, with the help from a local motorbike shop, the greeves bars were a status symbol to us, my first ride on a motorbike was a James 197cc belonging to Arthur Lampkin, I had numerous motorbikes later including a Triton and a Manx Norton, but decided that life was precious after a couple of near misses, so got married and took up Hang Gliding, unfortunately now too old for any of this. 😂😩🙏
Life is precious, but I am still riding. Not sure if hang gliding is 100% safe. Thanks for watching!
Looking good so far. It seems crazy to me that you don't have a ton of stock or cut offs or scrap metal laying around your shop after all these years of being in the metal business, but I guess one can never have the perfect piece for every job.
Jesus christ on a bicycle!!! that blue touring bike behind you at 4:11
The tube inside the steerer is the quill. ;)
G'day Paul,
Errrr.... Ummmm... Why didn't you measure the clearance between the bottom plate & the handlebars, then reface the bottom of the upright by that amount?
Keep up the good work
Andrew
Thanks Andrew. Yes, that is another way of doing it. I was getting tired at the end of the video, and didn't think of that solution...
Very cool!!! 👍👍
Good job
What's the story with the blue bike in the background please?
...dig the colour matched front rack!
The Blue Bike won a prize down at NAHBS. The bike will be in the June 14/15 Bike Show. Mitch will be doing a video I am sure....
Thank you
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I didn't see chips while plunge tapping... is that a thread forming tap? Off topic... I searched your library of videos hoping for a belt drive frame modification (splitting the seat-stay) for Gates belt installation. Have you done one of those conversions? That bicycle in the work-stand is beautiful! You talking about tubing prices made me think about a time when tubing was affordable and an 'S' cylinder of argon was $20 to exchange. Those were the days.
Another great video. I notice that you had your ears lowered for this episode. What is the matching Rocket J Squirrel part to go with the Bullmoose bar?
Paul: Let's go to the hacksaw...
*goes to bandsaw* 😂😂
In my home "shop" when I say hacksaw I mean a handheld hacksaw and it most likely has a dull spot on the blade.... 😂
moving side supports (those you made last) at opposite side of handlebar would allow you easier/faster removal of handlebar when fabricating is done; as it is now, you must remove both of them to remove handlebar from fixture (central mounting point guiding motion upwards under angle, while side supports preventing movement under angle)
And we get to see the lamp a bit closer. Is that a cylinder head as the base? As a woodworker who loves machining in brass I need to know more about the lamp!
Great video as always.Are you going to make a small series of bullmoose fot sale?😊
Man, Paul, nice fixture, but the video was a bit hard to watch/concentrate on with that beautiful Brodie sitting in the background. So, maybe it was said already, but who's bike is that and when did you make it? See it has a hub drive wheel, so perfect commuter/Go Getter type bike, with some awesome racks.
2:25 We would normally call it a spigot.
Hello Mr. Paul, Just out of curiosity, why don't you use the scriber on the bottom of your combinations square, instead of the sharpie to mark up lines ?
Hi Paul will did you learn to dance a jig from reading the book? lol😂 I look forward to seeing the bike ive learned so much from watching the show.
Did Mr Brodie do a smoulder at the start of this video?! - very noice
2:40 "Quill"
I think it would be “retro cool” at 1 1/8” threadless on a newer bike. 1” threaded quill is the original. No one is crazy enough to make a production run of 500 lol. Surprised the quill isn’t integrated into the stem and is bolt on…. Seems ahead of its time.
Ritchey made a special 1" plug quill. I've never knew the clamp dimension (think he said 7/8). I never saw how the quill section worked until it was pictured on The Radivist site. Back in this period there were knock-offs but it seems this phase passed quickly. Ritchey was always chasing lighter weight designs. The clamped quill was a precurser to the threadless aheadset.
BTW Nitto makes a 11/8" threadless today.
Was there a reason you didn’t make this fixture adjustable for rise and reach? Is there some standard for bull moose bars?Or does this meet the requirements for a custom frame fit?
A Brake Handle can stop break fast.
so how many are you going to make? where do we place the order? :D
5:45 We all know someone from germany who will disagree 🤣
Quill
Spendid
we have a sheet of 1/2" aluminum 3ft x 5ft 250.00 if your interested ?
I’m surprised at your cost for chro-mo tubing. Have you checked out “aircraft spruce & specialty” company. Aircraft routinely use chro-mo, aka 4130…about usd $8/ft.
