CAUTION: Working with Carbon Fibers are EXTREMELY hazardous. Usage of proper breathing apparatus and body coverall is a MUST. Don't take RISKS!

I used to say I build bikes. After seeing your work, now I should change it to "I assemble bikes". Very cool project and another great built!!!

Incredible amounts if patience in making the frame & I really hope it serves you well for a long time. You're obviously a thoughtful man with great ability in making things. Today's carbon frames are designed & made up in a different way, with the tubes actually being different thicknesses & varied thicknesses, plus multiple direction of layering. This produces a stiffer, stronger, comfier & more compliant frame once built in to a bike. Time will tell on yours & I admire you very much for your effort. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow this is the first carbon build I have seen. What a great effort to build this beautiful bike from scratch. I’d love to see a video in 6 and 12 months to see how the bike stands up. Well done Andy you have created a masterpiece!!!!

Wooh!superb diy, something to be proud of... that the world of bikers agreed to see

What a shockingly ambitious build; I love it! I hope it serves you reliably and safely for years to come!

Few weeks ago I watched your Raleigh's video and I already found it awesome, but this time you bring it to the next level. Great job ! Can't wait to see your next project!

Wow, this is beyond awesome! Great work, beautiful bike. Kudos, Sir! :)

I just want to say WOW INCREDIBLE... thank you for sharing your video sir so inspiring... 👏👏👏

Super build and workmanship

Awesome build!! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am willing to build my own frame like this, but not enough sure I can do it with my ordinary tools, but you have proved that at least you did it!!

Fantastic work!! Thanks so much for sharing the process

It turned out sooo great!! I love it!

Fantastic job!!! congratulations!!!!!

Hats off to you for the incredible build ! I started out framebuilding like you using hand made jigs. I used particle board and plywood almost 3 decades ago. I was brazing then so had to have a bucket of water nearby. Still riding the frames i built then. Will do a recumbent build like yours. I remember visiting a town framebuilder in Italy back in the 90's. He built steel frames without any jig. Just used a bike stand to hold tubes, strings to measure the symmetry of the frame. With enough desire to build a frame and with knowledge now available on the web, framebuilding is now within reach of home framebuilders.

Amazing! Thank you for making a good video and great creativity. I love it.

This is really amazing!

I was on pins and needles watching this!! Kudos to you 🤩👏🏼👏🏼you’ve got more talent and bigger balls than most

AMAZING WORK.

Awesome! Congrats!

Man, the way you made it looks so so easy, way to go!!!, I will try to build me a bike in a near future.

Awesome build. Well done, Sir.

Not bad at all! way to go man!!

This is beyond awesome

This is pretty dang awesome! I hope it gives you many miles of service.

Beautiful Bike!

Congrats mate! You did an awesome job and your Dhyana is beautiful!! Good vibes from Brazil! See ya

That's impressive. Hope it last a lifetime. Keep the great work 🚴🏻‍♂️

nais bike. first time see homemade carbon bike.

Great Work! Respect from Germany!

Great video

1st time I see local doing this.. and turn your balcony into a workshop that crazy. Very² nice build..keep it up bro👍💪

Such a beautiful bicycle, I wish to be this knowledgeable one day and try something like this myself. For now, i just recently learned how to change my tyre properly haha

Excellent work!

You are a LEGEND!!!

Great build man, hope that someday i could build my own bike from scratch.

I never really liked Carbon Fiber due to its cost and short lifespan but seeing your humble build made me appreciate your dedication to the craft, like a carpenter to wood or a leather crafter to leather. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and hoping over day you'd publish a steel bike video.

Reminds me of an old Giant Cadex 980 C frame

Nice one

beautiful.. nice job

Amazing video , Good job sir, 👏 👍 👌

You say "I hope she will stand the test of time", I'm sure everyone says that about those $10,000 bikes they buy too. It's definitely an unknown so I'm wishing you the best. I really like the shifter choice you made. I use friction shifters from Gevenalle on my cyclocross bike and love them. Good luck to you Sir.

I Love It! only 1 in the world! truly amazing!

Really you are a genius❤😊

Wow amazing d.i.y custom carbon frame👌

excellent!!!

Wonderful 😮😊❤ Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎

This is pretty cool, actually!!! Bravo on this build! But when you first started off with the straight-gauge carbon fiber tubes in the metal lugs, I was hoping you'd build a 90s-era type lugged CF bike frame for a retro feel. In any case, your build is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻

Bravo!

You are a very talented man. The bike looks great. I'm a little sad you had to dismantle the Raleigh though. The Raleigh build was awesome 😊

Fantastic well done. Just a word of caution when working with epoxy rather wear latex gloves for own health

Genial felicidades 👏

😮 bonita bici. 👏👏👏

Gentleman, that's how Cannondale frames created...

Super cool!😎 Amazing work Andy! And 5.9kg weight 🤪 Bike of this weight,here in Europe, would cost like probably over 10 000 euros! I couldn't like never afford that!

Nice vid, good job. Haven't seen anything dome like that before - just heard "carbon is a pain to work with" but a respirator and some tools, lots of patience and dedication seem to suffice.

obra de méstri aki no brasil tem keter mais ums méstri como vc aki ai as bike aki teria mais valor ecelente progeto parabens amigão

Awesome build Andy! You make it look simple for hobbyist to attempt DIY carbon bike build. Can you share where you source for bottom bracket shell and the rear fork attachment?

Motivation

Hi there, great project, congratulation! Is there a parts list available? I really like your cockpit setup (handlebar and shifters).

anyone that has built a bamboo frame would be familiar with this technique and find this pretty easy.... and a heck of a lot lighter!....

One thing that I like? Your shop is a balcony! With great view on the forest! But I see that it rains almost every time. South-East Asia?

This is ridiculous and amazing

Just beautiful. No other word. Just beautiful. This gives me hope that i too could work on a project like this. How well is your frame holding up? Have you bench tested it? I would love to build something like this but I'm concerned about how strong the joints are. Could you share your experience? Thank you mate

I'm making and repairing bicycles since 2007. A thing to avoid is laminate carbon fiber without any insulation like glass fiber over metal parts, such as aluminum and steel, problem is the galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel and titanium without insulation are OK.

What cranks are those? Really good job…. Should do another one as after your first attempt you’d get the second one perfect as know the process now…. I’d be itching to make another Also given me the confidence watching this to edit one of my frames how I always wanted to But if I could also know about them cranks

Great work!! How is it holding up?

Great vid and a superb work. Quick question. What tire width & psi would you go normally for light gravel on this and the Raleigh? Asking out of curiosity, although it's different from rider to rider

Wow! Amazing project! Can we ask for the measurements and drawings of the jig? Thank you!

Hi, thank you for this informative video ! What that of tube did you use ? Rolled Wrapped ? How is the torsional stiffness ? How much better would a Pull Winded or Braided tube would perform in torsion compared to a Roll Wrapped ? Regards

Wow, great looking build! Where did you get that carbon bottle cage? Ans what type of brakes are those?

Fun.

love the osprey decals, and really awesome build! just one point, apparently carbon dust is really bad for the lungs, and i notice you were wearing a fabric mask in one of the video clips. maybe you might want to look into a industrial respirator (about 30$usd i think), especially if you are sanding so much carbon. cheers! hope to see more creative builds in the future

Wonderful work, I was spellbound! Can you tell me what those cranks are?

Emezing👍👍👍

This bike was really easy to assemble kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

You know whatyou should do with thar frame? Finish aanding it and then cut it up to make molds for your jointa and cast them Thwy would be much stronger would look better. The unevenness of the joints and the non uniform grinding and sanding givevmevlow confidence in the strength of the frame. Use ir to make

@Hambini are you watching?

Great work. I am curious about durability of the frame after solid milage. Ps. Did you removed half of SPD pedals ;p ?

Great build! Could yoh tell me lenght of each tube? Did you buy 1000mm or 500mm long pieces? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work

Wow

Impressive. What brand/type of crank did you use?

Your neighbors must love you, doing all that cutting in the balcony. Great work though

Bonjour, joli travail ! Pouvez-vous nous dire quel est la marque et le modèle de manettes de frein, de freins, de changements de vitesses, que vous avez utilisé ? Merci.

Najs😊

What an attitude! You just did it! What's the weight of the frame? Weight of the assembled bike? Is there any issues after 1 year?

6 kg is a real success.. how is it going ? is there any damage or crack ?

truly incredible, what was the weight of the frame alone?

Can I ask how was it today? You and my dad had the same concept but he wants a road bike and I showed him this video

This was interesting. BTW any neighbour complaining about all that cutting and sanding on the balcony? :)

Did you measure the head tube angle? Looks pretty steep?

prick the binding tape with a pin to let the excess resin out

❤❤❤❤❤

👏👏👏👏👏

Beli carbon kit utk repair dimana?

ótimo video , eu gostaria de saber o que é aquela pasta branca aplicada no dropout.. outra pergunta , o guia dos cabos de aço voc/~e não mostrou como foi feito, fiquei querendo saber

how was the bike ? after a year? what problemss did you encounter ? are you still using it?

How is this holding up a year later, if you're still riding it?

Thanks sir i also going to bild bicycle at home can you help me pls

What kind of cranks arms are? They look very lightness
