Hahahah Hopefully you didn't go back to the really early one's.. those are embarrassing. Fun fact - in one of the early videos I drank too much beer so that I could relax in front of the camera while recording myself. I was drunk while trying to speak to the camera. That video is so embarrassing. But I can't delete it because it covers a necessary step in my first frame build. hahaa.
Yeah it works really well and much easier. Only draw back is it's waste's about 2" more of tube. But thats nothing compared to the tubes I've ruined before ;)
Hi. Great to see you back. Your channel is high on my favorites list. I was worried that you might have given it up. Looking forward to your next videos!
Welcome back Sir! I'm happy to see you on the screen again :) What wall thickness do the 3/4"(?) tubes have? Are there any plans how the 'cargo' gets mounted on the bike? Btw. In my opinion you don't have to apologize. There are so many small every day complaints which can us slow down... And don't get into stress- if you do so, you might have no longer fun. If you don't have fun, you might lose your intrinsically motivation (for making the videos and sharing them with us :)) and that would be bad! Greetings from Germany! Looking forward to see the finished bike!
It wasn't my original plan. I aligned to the inside edge of the seat stays so to have more clearance for the chain. On normal bikes this isn't an issue because the SS are usually more vertical. But this being a long tail the SS run more horizontal and therefore come really close to intersecting with the chain line. Hope that makes sense!
Awesome! I can finally stop rewatching old videos!

One of the best channels on frame building on youtube. Amazing work!
Hey man!!! Welcome back, we missed you.
Thanks for hangin in there! Feels good to be back.
I dig the triple triangle design for a cargo bike. Looks stronk.
Bery Stronk!
Nice! Looking good. I like the plug trick to hold the sand in as well!

Really good to have you back Pithy!
+Slant6Nova good to be back!
Can't wait to see this thing finished. It's got a great aesthetic going!
Thanks! You will for sure see it because the bike is done. :) I've been editing the footage and there are 4 more videos to go to finish! :D
Long time no see! I was beginning to give up on this excellent venture, tbh. So glad I don't have to!
Never give up! ;) ahahahah

Welcome back Sir!
I'm happy to see you on the screen again :)
What wall thickness do the 3/4"(?) tubes have?
Are there any plans how the 'cargo' gets mounted on the bike?
Btw.

and that would be bad!
Greetings from Germany!
Looking forward to see the finished bike!
+August Heckmann thanks for the words of encouragement! 3/4" tubes are. 035 wall. And yes, ill be making my own retention and mid frame pack. :)

ur Channel
Hey there, do you build bikes for others?
been a long time ☺
Hey Steve, long time no see ! I was telling to myself yesterday that the previous video was old. Anyway welcome back
+Julienlegrand haha i hope to keep new ones coming every week till the vuild is done.
Nice ! I hope so ! :) Thank you for doing your best and showing it !
Hey man, great to have you back. Question: why are the dropouts aligned with the center of the chainstays, but the inside edge of the seatstays?
It wasn't my original plan. I aligned to the inside edge of the seat stays so to have more clearance for the chain. On normal bikes this isn't an issue because the SS are usually more vertical. But this being a long tail the SS run more horizontal and therefore come really close to intersecting with the chain line. Hope that makes sense!
Oh yeah, makes sense. Hope to see how the frame handles.
Hi . Can you build a motorcycle frame? Thank you
I saw a PB sticker on your welding hood. Are you selling those?
+RideThroughLife send me your address i still have some left. Pithybikes@gmail.
I think I would call the small tube between the seat tube and the top tube the 'bracing tube' or 'strut'.
+Beesa10 strut, i like that!
when did you want to finish it ? finish it quickly please🙏
It's actually done! I'm sitting on 4 more videos worth of footage. I'll try to release a new video each week of this build.
Where do you buy your tubing?
+Sam Pinion it depwnds on the build. For this one i bought 4130 tubing from aircraft spruce.
Sweet thanks!
