- Top notch bicycle framebuilding takes patience and skills that I don't possess. But, if you have the audacity, and a few basic tools, you can really make a mess of things and file your way out of a jam! This video has terrible audio, crappy editing and incomplete footage of a total novice building a bicycle frame in his basement! If that ain't inspiring content, I don't know what is!
Thanks so much to the BikeFarmer community for giving me the confidence to put this footage out there. I really wanted it to be better than it is. I'm already thinking about the next build for next winter! That one will be better! I promise!

Thank you for the warts and all production. I had to pull a timing cover back off a Miata three times yesterday because I screwed up the order of events repeatedly. Getting anything right the first time is just luck. Doing it on camera is brave, but I and seemingly the rest of the audience appreciates it. Looking forward to the rest of its development!
Whoa! Thanks hey!
I can’t thank you enough for producing this series. This channel is number one with a bullet.
I'm sure opinions vary, and maybe this is just because I dream of trying this when I retire, but this has been some of my favorite content you have posted. Please keep it up!
The bike farm successfully birthed a new bike into the world!
These have been by far my favorite videos on your channel, and I learned a ton. Additionally, I’ve been wanting to build a frame for a decade, and watching this has given me the motivation to start getting the equipment. I hope the bike rides better than you had hoped, and really look forward to your next fab if you decide to do another. Great work!
Can't wait to see the melted beeswax finish patina after a bit of time in the weather.
I do feel a bit guilty though, this video series has been relaxing to watch and listen to. Yet I can see that some (a lot???) of the process has been frustrating for you to build. Surely must be satisfying at the end. Well done.
Love the beefy brazing at the tops of the seat stays. And that fork is art.
The man who never made a mistake never did anything. The bikes coming on well, glad you stuck to uploading the footage.
Btw as the kids say, your voice has a Jeremy Piven quality to it, thanks for all the amazing content!
I think it's great. Function is all that matters. How many people can say I built my bike myself!? Great video's
Well done, sir. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites, always looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing this process with the rest of us bike geeks, and I shout out a loud, 69 year-old, Jeffie-Squeal of approval! Happy Trails!🐿️🧠🤯😁
the frame is looking great can't wait to see it painted!
it may not be perfection, but dont be so hard on yourself. structure over form. you aren't building a spaceship, and we weren't expecting one. thanks for dealing with the tech issues so we could come along for the journey!
This is the video series for the masses. I really enjoy your honest approach to this challenging project. Great work.
So pleased I found this channel. I spent over a decade selling bikes, mainly mid-high end road bikes, in the end having to buy into the hype did my head in, so I found another vocation. I ride a custom lugged steel bike now and realise that the deeper enjoyment of riding comes from the resonance provided by a well built steel frame, carbon can only imitate but never match steel.
The frame looks great, including the seat cluster! Congrats, and I hope the first ride is awesome. Nothing like riding a bike you built yourself!
And the fork looks freakin’ sharp. I’ve always been hesitant of building my own fork, but seeing that one makes me want to give it a go.
Still enjoying this project! You're lamenting the quality but I think it's pretty damn good, and will surely get better with practice. When you're done you can start planning your next one to share with us. In aluminum 😁
Dude, brazing metal is one of my favorite forms of welding. I love bicycles, working with metal and I have to say that I think you have done a fantastic job with building this frame. I can't wait to see it painted and put together and to see you riding something that you have built custom for yourself!
This series (is this a series?!?) is awesome. I can’t wait to see the finished product. Great work so far!
I really enjoyed watching the build. Looks really nice with those lugs. That fork is pretty awesome! I hope you show the bike after paint and let us know how it rides. I’m sure it will look pretty cool!
Andy this series has been nothing but inspiring. The lofi approach is perfect, not everything has to be perfection. You've inspired me to really want to get the gear and try to build my own frame. Thank you so much for showing this process!!! Looking forward to seeing it built up.
This is just great stuff! Absolutely Well Done on all of it, watching you craft the rear triangle and then seeing the results on the front fork is just Wow! Really Really great job! I can not wait to see the finished frame and then the build up…
Looks real...er...good - for who it's for! I'd say a 70% chance it rides OK, and doesn't fall apart, but even that is fifty-fifty. Let Mikey test it, yah, that's the plan! Seriously, if you didn't do this project I would have had to, and you know how good I am with a torch...ask the fire department.
Thank you for these videos. Their interest is precisely this amateur aspect which can allow many people to project themselves into the adventure, without having the barrier of professionalism. And bravo for the challenge of doing this while documenting it in a filmed way, I can very well imagine the headache of thinking about the work on the bike and the video at the same time.. 🤯
Looking forward to seeing the bike assembled!
And thank you again ! 😉
I can hear and feel the frustration you have with not getting the end results that you were envisioning. I'm glad that you are happy that it's good enough for who it's for.
An idea for a follow up video idea could be to have a custom frame builder react to some key points of your build process. They they maybe can explain/teach you how to improve for the next build.
You are a sick and twisted evil man 😂🤣
Looks Good. Perfect is the enemy of good enough!
There are a lot of romancer wannabes out there, but you’re not one of them. You go right into the guts of it without fear. I dig it.
Bike is looking amazing well done Andy
You're doing an awesome job! I've been watching your channel for a while. Don't listen to the haters! Keep it up!
There hasn’t been any! They just live in my head!
I like the big fillets, looks tough.
This series has been awesome! Thanks Bike Farmer!
Really looking forward to seeing your first ride on this bike. Great series been loving it
Never stop learning, a virtue of life. Also with brazing you can never have enough Flux, oxygen/propane for a fuel works wonders,and when doing a blind brazing ie. Head tube, seat tube, drill a small air bleed in so solid tube your material will flow deeming and easily in the joint. Good job overall, and now I need a frame jig..thanks
I already know that it's going to be awesome. Rough or not, that bike is coming together nicely.
This is great quit apologizing. You don't have to be hard on yourself for doing such an excellent job. The only thing I would fault you for is checking your flame. Brody has a really good about that. I think I would have used brass for the back brake bosses. Great choice of tubing for cloning a trusty steed.
Even Masi was a beginner before becoming Masi. But the satisfaction of riding something you built yourself is priceless. Can't wait to see the bike assembled and you riding it!
It's been really cool to see this come along. You're talking about doing this in March so you've probably painted it already but it would be cool to just do a clear coat.
This is an amazing video series. I find myself checking in to see when the next episode will be!! I started watching your channel just so I could see how to change a tire and I have learned so much more about bike maintenance. I applaud you for stepping out of your comfort zone and doing a whole bike build. Can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing all of this adventure with us!!
Yay! Finished frameset next time!
I've really enjoyed watching this series and it brought back so many way cool memories! Way back in the day, I'm talking the early seventies, I followed Tim Paterek and his frame building in River Falls, Wisconsin. Just watching your videos brought back the sights and smells that filing, sawing, brazing and more all involved in coaxing a work of art out of some steel tubes and metal castings. 1/2 science, 1/2 art and 1/2 skill!
Awesome video, loving going along with you on this bike building journey!
Really great job, incredible!
Fascinating!
I've never built a frame but I've definitely done a lot of shit with building up bikes I'd never do for someone else. Good enough for who it's for indeed!
I am loving this series and am looking forward to seeing how this bike rides when it is finished.
You are my absolute favorite TH-camr. Great work with this series. Keep em coming!
Awesome
Did he just tell us to flux off? 😅
Great series. Fun to watch.
Don't focus on the final result. Try to enjoy the process and always remember it's the first time you're doing this. Imagine how it's gonna be better at the second time. If a second frame is in your plans, of course, rs...
It's looking totally great!
Love sewage bikes!
Thanks hey!
That was awesome!!
Like I said before...
This is gonna be one sick bike😎🤘🏻
Great JOB.
ASMR. I wanna do this! You’re gonne be the next Richard Sachs! 😊
Always wondered how they got the alignment on the back stays. Another good one here. 👍Cheers.
eye patch snarling brutalistic approach. I think that would inspire a most beefy headbadge logo. a kind of stylistic Bluto image from a Popeye cartoon, snaggle tooth and all.
Bro, this has been a most interesting journey that you allowed us to share with you. What a treat. The success in silver solder and brazing reminds me of learning how to solder radio parts back in the ham radio days when tubes were king. I hope you do another one in the near future.
Just really appreciate this content! I want to get into framebuilding for my own projects, and these videos and the spirit makes it just a little easier to take the dive
Dang, I thought I'd already spent too much because of ideas I got from your videos..!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
This is just really good, thanks Mr. Farmer!
This is so cool! I've loved this series so far. Thanks for sharing the finished bike on Instagram. Thanks for all your tips on tuning up regularly bikes, the videos have been enormously helpful!
Thanks for all of that, this is just plain awesome to watch, even with the crappy audio, you recovered well from that one !
Can't wait to see that bike being built and enjoyed ! you are killing it !
Your best videos so far! Cheers
impressive
maybe I missed it but are you going to and eyelets to the drop outs? I would add two. A set for fenders and a set for the rack.
This makes me want my '85 steel Miyatta 912 back so bad..
Awesome dude I think you’re doing a terrific job on this going to watch the next vid after my tea.. 😊 well done man.. Pete 🚴🏻👍
I probably could have built that. Got lazy and bought a Cannondale Topstone instead of aluminum. That's major league tuition and investment in fixtures and tooling. Even pro builders screw up occasionally and usually nothing actually fails catastrophically. Just not feeling that lucky. A big rabbit hole I chose not to enter. Paul Brodie would certainly be my top choice of pedagogue. You don't have half the advantages his skills and equipment offer.
you did fine.
I agree with the comment below. I like the soft jazz too. Nice
Ope! Lost an audio track...
Where did you get the rear triangle parts from? How did you make/form them?
If a fella was a full-time frame builder, cranking through every step without hesitation, how long would it take to build a lugged frame starting at 8am?
I know of a team of builders that built a complete bike in an 8 hour shift. Not sure if that’s remarkable or not but I think it probably is!
Thanks!
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼
If I need to add canti boss to a frame, I'm assuming that required Brass & not Snd not Silver solder?
I used silver.
You gotta lotta balls to be doing this project in front of a camera, credit to you for just doing it….If you stay with your “G.E.F.W.I.F.” approach it’s gonna turn out just fine.
How much time do you spend looking at your bike anyway ?
A lot
More effective with visuals, music, less talking.
Mute it. Listen to the radio.
