Everybody.
u should put the wheel with disc cover behind because steering while having a disc cover in the front wheel is dangerous it can shift the front wheel if the wind is strong enough but over all i love the build it reminds me of cervelo rb

You may barely see it, but you would feel the flex on the tail side when skiding or braking probably due to lack of support from upper tube. He needs to reinforce the tail end or atleast swap it to more rigid type of metal.
This is fantastic stuff, man! I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your future projects. Good luck with them!
"This monstreeeuuuusity" is awesome, signature paint job.
This is absolutely insane! You did such a great job with it, looks sick.
Beautiful work. Very satisfying to see you ride it at the end. Such a striking shape.
Awesome, I should try something similiar soon - so far only frame conversions. Very well put together, frame and video - creative and funky! Mahlzeit!

damn. he rlly did what everyone dreams of. congrats man i love it.
This is honestly really cool! Nice job man. :)
i come from downhill mtb, never even sat on a fixie and now you got me wanting to build one. that things sick af
That is a big advantage for a steel bike.. you can make changes and modification or you can easily re use parts of frames to do something like this.. I like it!! Great Job!
I love your video and a lot to learn keep making nice vid watching from Philippines ♥️

You mean like the PX Series from Cervelo? This design is an eye catcher without any question but it will always have issues in lateral stiffness. This frame design is also currently not race legal in bike races. Beside all these things, this bike looks pretty nice. Well done.

Bravo sir! looks great.
You need to check out the frames made by the bike company Softride. Sadly the company shut down their frame factory a few years after the UCI banned them from competition. I still own a Power V that I ride fairly often.
Really loving this build! Great job. But please be safe out there🙏🏻 I would guess the two welds on the „top tube“ are the most critical ones. Hope they’re doing well Greetings

Nice! The two-color paint on the square tubes really lights it up!. A stronger steel alloy such as 4130 may flex less.
@mikekrasovec6390
2 жыл бұрын
All steel is equally stiff. Different steel alloys will have significant differences in elongation, corrosion resistance, strength, ease of machining/abrasion resistance, ability to withstand high temperatures when welding... Rigidity is largely about cross section or diameter as it's diameter x diameter x diameter x diameter x wall thickness x rigidity of the material (for example aluminum is a less rigid material than steel for a given amount) ÷ length ^3. A stronger steel such as cromo, heat treated cromo, heat treated air hardening steels such as 4340... allows larger diameters with thinner tubing walls which allows it to be stiffer and lighter and probably stronger.
That frame is absolutely phenomenal.
Incredible job and incredible video!

Is the front disc wheel just for asthetics or does it serve a real purpose for stability? Normally you only run a single disc wheel on the rear on a Track or TT bike. If you didn't opt to run both front and rear disc wheels for aerodynamics.
@Raphson

It's merely an aesthetics thing. It is an authentic used bike-polo front wheel which was given to me. I wanted to honour this former bike-polo player. But indeed, it's absolutely horrifying to ride this thing during wind! You must be so alert.
Don't worry about a heavy bike, it will preserve momentum. Harder to get it going but easier to keep it going. I read an interview with a guy in the UK who's famous for only doing Audax rides (how far you can go in a set time usually 12+ hrs). And he does it on a cheep £300 steel frame - rest of his bike is worth a fortune though. TLDR - as long as your not doing hills #Holland and not having to stop for traffic often, a heavy frame is actually better.
Stunning, great design.
You are genius, congratulations. I love this fixed bike.
Very cool, I like how visually it seems very front-heavy due to the closed wheel and seat only attached to the front, whereas most bikes look either more balanced or rear-heavy.
If you added a bit of suspension to the seat with 2 hinges or something it would’ve taken this to a whole other level
Good work my friend, you are correct, I've built a few bike frames from scratch and I still ride one.
what a cool ride. hoping to build one like yours :)
Awesome design, but for me it looks kinda dangerous because the back has no tube. But it looks cool
This channel is really amazing. I can already see it grow. No cap.
I really appreciate your work u helped me so much , trying to find research for building a fully custom frame that’s not like every other bike is a little hard there’s barley any videos on it , I’m building a fully custom e bike and this helped a lot thank you
