- This is the frameset I built from the fall of 2017 through the spring of 2018. The bike is technically my second complete frame build. I made a few extra tools including a modular frame jig/chainstay notching fixture.
The concept of the bike is a 27.5" or 650b single-speed modern-day klunker.
I wanted to build something as a tribute to my first bike, a 1975 Webco. Originally, I wanted the frame to look very similar, but due to finding out I would be moving and having to pack all my shop equipment up, I had to leave a lot of the cosmetic features out, but I feel like the bike came out really clean.
I have a detailed playlist of the complete build including all the tools I built along the way if you want more info and details of my process: • 650b klunker bicycle f...

This is awesome, nice work! Definitely going to look up the full process. Now I want to get a tig machine and learn how to make my own custom bike.
Thank you! My advice would be to take a class at a local votech if that's something available to you. It will definitely shorten the learning curve. Other than that, practice on some scrap metal first, then just go for it! Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!
@@JoeyMesa I'd happily pay to get some instructions...

Thank you!I appreciate your kind words and taking the time to leave feedback!!!
Good job
Thank you!!
Simply amazing, do you think it can be made by a standard welding thanks
impressive! i wonder where you buy all the tubing for this? whats the size for crank and the downtubing for the fork?
Really impressive work! Clearly not the first time you've held a TIG torch!
Where did you buy the tubeset?
Thanks! I purchased the tube set from Nova Cycles.cycle-frames.com
Cool!
Thanks!
Complimenti 👍
Grazie! Apprezzo che tu abbia dedicato del tempo per lasciare un feedback!!
Está muy perrona hermosa bike
¡Gracias! ¡Aprecio que se haya tomado el tiempo para dejar comentarios!
Hi do u have to drill holes in the tube pipes u weld together when u are building a bike frame
Génial 👍👍🔥💯🥷👉👍
Thanks!!
Wow I like it, what are the dimensions, I would like to try this
Any recommendations on bending a 1985 GT Expert bmx frame that is out of whack? Can I heat it up and jig it and maybe ratchet strap pull it? Doesn’t have to be perfect, rebuilding for my son. Thanks for any input!
It turned out to be a great bike! I've been thinking about "frying" a bicycle frame myself for a while, and your video gives me the courage to finally tackle it! I'm only interested in one thing because it wasn't shown in the video: how did you shape the chainstays? These parts are bent several times, have changing ăcross-sections and changing diameters. Did you build these parts yourself? As?
They generally come pre bent as part of a tube kit.
Hello, can you guys design a specific frame? I want to built a specific bike for a while know. Just with the file drawing I'm happy. And how much can It be ?
Like someone else said, this is super inspiring. Can I ask you something, where did you get the initial parts (tubes) ? Is there somewhere to order them from ?
I got the tubing kit from Nova Cycles cycle-frames.com/
really good this video, congratulations and thank you
where do you buy the tubes to make the frame?
I purchased this tube set from Nova cycling, but it appears that they are going out of business. There's lots of other options though. Try metal-guru.com, vari-wall, frame building.com, or bicycle frame depot as a few other options. 4130 chromoly tubing can be purchased from air spruce, amazon, and eBay.
@@JoeyMesa thanks
Best best best , superrrrrrr 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much 😀!!! I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback!!!
Dude !! this is beautifull. Thanks for sharing. I am currently building a drift trike and Im stuck in the stearer tube. I will buy a 1-1/8 inch fork, what diameter should I use for the stearer tube so the end caps fit? can it be a straight tube or does it need additional inner features? Thanks bro
I meant "head tube" for a 1-1/8 fork stearer tube, sorry
Anybody have any idea , that what type of nuts are used for v brake? Actually I have a fork and I want to add v brake but nut which one to use?
Wow great craftsmanship you need a wire feed for welding.
Tig is the way to go for thin wall chromoly tubing.
What are the tools i need to be a bike maker?
Hey joey , damn good work , mind sharing some info ?? What kind of steel and circular drill are you using ?
Any recommendations on how to bend the tubes ?
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply!
The frame tubing is thin wall 4130 chromoly steel. The hole saw bits that I used are a mixture of mostly Milwaukee and Harbor Freight Bi-metal hole saws. I used an inexpensive Harbor Freight tube notcher with a drill press to notch the frame tubes, and I have a friend who owns a hydraulic tubing bender to bend the fork legs. The rest of the frame tubes (seat stays and chain stays) were already pre bent from the company where I purchased the tubing kit (nova cycle).
I've got a couple longer playlists from this frame and my first frame that go into much more detail on the tools and lots of other things if you're interested.

@@JoeyMesa even more info than expected , my project is a heavy 3wheeled bicycle , and ive allways wondered how those tubes where precisely bent .. and drilled ! Ahah might even use cheaper alloy , as weight isnt important for my project
Very nice good job you should work at a frame building shop 😁
Maybe one day!
SS? Would be very fun fixed I imagine, amazing work none the less
Thank you!!!
sir how much it will cost (manufacturing cost[labor, machine, etc])
incrível queria muito uma bike dessa
Obrigado por reservar um tempo para comentar!
Talvez nos próximos anos eu esteja em condições de fazer um para você.
Nice job. I see you´re using TIG to weld. Have you use MIG before?. I´m focusing on building my first bike ever and still not sure what type of welding machine tu buy....thanks
I’ve used the mig welding process for lots of different projects. It’s definitely faster and easier than tig welding, but for welding thin wall chromoly, tig welding is the way to go. You have much more control of the weld puddle, overall speed and how much filler metal is being added. Thanks for your question!
Hello Joey, great job, really impressive and beautiful bike! But one thing is unreacheable for me: why haven`t you installed front brake?
Good question! I built the bike as a tribute to my old 1975 Webco BMX bike. In general, even to this day, BMX bikes only run a rear brake. Thanks!!!
@@JoeyMesa thank you for answer, wish you more likes and subscribers)
awesome build.. you have only rear brakes ?
Yep! I was trying to build an adult size replica of the BMX bikes I rode and raced from the late 1970's to the late 1990's. I never ran anything other than a rear brake, and this one works much better than the old side pull brakes! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Compliment, You're very very artist. Mega super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy
Thank you so much 😀
Doesn’t look like you have a chain tensioner or horizontal dropouts, how do you tension the chain?
I used an eccentric bottom bracket. I was on a very tight budget when I built this bike, and that was the least expensive option to make a single speed with disc brakes. This is a more detailed explanation of my plan for the frame in a video I made. It's the first video in detailed playlist I made while building this frame. th-cam.com/video/lJFptJdp6QU/w-d-xo.html
This is the complete playlist if you're interested: th-cam.com/play/PLyNdrtUfdbn2YVkFDfbgEZjD4gA_F0_jl.html
No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Nice job!!! But I was scared how close were your fingers from the saw....
Ha! Tha camera makes it look closer that reality. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!
how did you install the parts in speed mode . wish u could show me how to install each part in normal speed please , i still can't understand how a holo tube can hold the parts .
The focus of this video was on the construction of the actual frame and fork. I've got several other videos that focus on the actual assembly process if you're interested: th-cam.com/play/PLyNdrtUfdbn2c9kCwsED2XcUJzoV7qq2N.html
Nice build. Maybe a gravel bike next?
Maybe! My first frame build was/is a gravel bike, but I'd like to do something lighter with thru axles. Thanks for the feedback!
@@JoeyMesa i made a lugged frame with disc brakes out of columbus spirit oversized tubes for gravel. Using 700c x 40s. Ive rode it hard all winter and its held up well.
That's a really nice build, well done! Inspired by pithy bikes and your first frame I've now made six! Few things in life beat the stoke of riding with friends where at least one of you is on a frame you made. Looking forward to your frame #3 build and sorry to hear about the divorce in another comment.
@@JoeyMesa Thru axles are a good challenge because there's no cheating on the alignment. You can't just file the dropouts a little bit if you need a last minute correction.
What basic tools do you need to get started making bicycle frames?
Well, in my case, the needed tools were a computer to do research, I already owened a Tig welder, but something to join metal is needed. This frame was built with a lot of basic hand tools otherwise. It's really up to your imagination and budget. Otherwise a hacksaw and a file. Some way to hold the tubes in place to tack them together. I have a full playlist of this frame build, as well as my very first frame build. I was on a very tight budget, so I built most of the tools I needed. These are the playlists of my full builds: th-cam.com/play/PLaz6WjKNr9tX_mYw8U5x24Ngyv0UTnX4x.html
th-cam.com/play/PLyNdrtUfdbn2YVkFDfbgEZjD4gA_F0_jl.html
can you tell me what is the cheapest and best steel for bicycle frame
Any 4130 chromoly will be the best material for a steel bike frame. You can get some basic straight gauge tubing from Aircraft Spruce that's pretty inexpensive. The tubing I used to build this frame was double butted chromoly that I purchased from Nova cycles. I think it was around $120 for the complete tubing kit.
Make frame mtb fullsus please
Jadi pengen
hi, what brand of stainless steel do you use?
The frame is made with 4130 chromoly steel not stainless steel. The brand is the generic house brand from Nova cycles. cycle-frames.com/
Very nice like to work with you from Ghana
What kind of filler/Tig wire? Er80s-d2? Weldmold-880?
I used a combination of.045 and .030 ER70S rod. I’ve never tried Weldmold 880, but I really want to. Thanks for the question!
I used Weldmold for the 4130 parts of the bike trailer I finished last February. The mild steel parts got Er309, as it seems to give *slightly* better results on most square steel tubing I can get in my area.
I tried er80s-d2 on the 4130 parts, but didn’t like how it ran. I guess I’m not much for a welder.
Wow start your own bike company
Thanks! Maybe someday...
he built a whole bicycle himself😮
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!!!
what is the name of the machine for the earliest part at 1:16 ??
It's a fixture I made to notch the fork legs. The part that holds the file saw bit came off my Harbor Freight tube notcher, but the rest I fabricated. I've got a video that runs through how I built the tool. th-cam.com/video/WgYasii1JQA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the question!
Whats the gear ratio?
41 - 18
YOU NO THE WILD PART IS ? YOU CAN FIND THIS BIKE GEOMETRY IN CHEAPER BIKES. ITS REALLY HARD TO FIND A FRAME WITH THE TOP TUBE THAT DOESN'T SLANT AN THAT CAN FIT AN 29 IN TIRE IN AN NAME BRAND BIKE. I LOVE IT IT HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING THING I WANT. THE ONLY THING MISSING FOR ME IS A U OR V BRAKE. I LIKE TO USE AN 700C SINGLE SPEED RIM BECAUSE I CAN GET THEM IN MANY DIFFERENT COLORS AN DEEP V. 700C IS A 29 IN RIM AN THE TIRE WILL FIT. ANY WAYS NICE BIKE AN PLENTY OF PEOPLE WANT A BIKE LIKE THIS BUT HAVE TO SETTLE FOR WHAT THEY THINK PEOPLE WANT.
Why do you drill hole in front of every pipe?!
As the tubes get heated during welding/brazing/soldering you need a way for the hot air to escape.
Thanks a lot for the information@@Horstelin
Where is difference made in frame size
It's all in the angle of the dangle mostly.
didn't the bottom bracket and head tube warp too much by welding on it?
No, The BB shell and the head tube on this particular frame have a wall thickness that is pretty robust, so there was very minimal distortion.
supe🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!!!
What is the materials
Is made ?
The materials are from Nova cycling. It's their house brand 29'er tube set. It's probably made in China or Taiwan, but the tubing is made of double butted 4130 Chromoly.
Just my opinion you could improve on your tig welding skills
Chromoly ?
Yes
change the pace of thought!!!!!! jeez monkey see and monkey do! you do know even music styles has genere!!!
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. As far as I know, I haven’t seen anyone make a bike quite like this one.
I love the golf ball handle for the flat file at 2:55!
Thanks!
