BTR Fabrications- From The Ground Up - Hardtail Frame Build
Filmed by geebeebee media over a weekend in 2013 in the BTR Shed, 'From The Ground Up' is an introduction to BTR, and why and how we build bikes.

This is the very first video BTR released demonstrating the frame building methods used in "The Shed". We talk about the passions that drive us to build frames and the lengths we go to to ensure our bikes are the best they possibly can be.
The frame built in the video is a Ripper DH- our kids downhill hardtail frame: www.btr-fabrications.com/product/ripperdh/

I love what you guys do. And believe it or not I finished high school last year and now i’m preparing for university. I too always wanted to build my own frame. You are a perfect example for me. I hope i can do that just like you guys did.

dream mtb frame 🥺
Your company inspires me when im doing anything to do with bikes. I know I would never be able to get one but the fact that you've stayed as a 2 man company to this day is amazing. I hope one day your bikes are on the podiums of all races because you put the most effort into your what you do.
People that still builds bikes with an angle grinder. The real deal!
Great to see lads, hope to have a btr frame one day!
Nice work there guys keep it up

Absolutely love your work, you guys are a great inspiration to the MTB world !

Now this REALLY inspired me to make my own frame or heavily modifie one i already have! I wish i could afford such a frame! Maybe one day. I have the feeling that it would be a MUST for me to fly over and just watch you building that frame
Love the bike 🤘🚴
Well bros I am starting a bike company who would have thought that there is a mad amount of work involved props to yawl

A bike frame looks so simple. It should be just so easy to knock one together. I also under estimated the sheer amount of work that went into one.

As a welder i apreciate your work! Pro tip: always cut off the oxidized end of the filler rod.

Thanks mate. Not much point cutting the tip off the road on steel unless you are wire brushing the weld each time you stop as well...

Awesome video. Makes me want to build a frame from scratch!!! I love Hardtails, I really want a "Yeti ARC-ish" frame for me and I'm seriously thinking about trying to make it happen with my own hands. What would you say is the easyest and most difficult material? Like ranking aluminum vs steel vs titanium
