I used to often handmade build bicycles. But those were very eye-catching bikes, “beach cruisers”. The last one was probably 12 years ago. Back then I wanted to build a bicycle frame made of polished stainless steel. Although stainless steel is not the best material for a bicycle frame. Now it turned out that it had worked. It was an e-bike, I thought it would be more complicated, especially with the wiring, but it was really plug and play. The polishing was actually the most complex part of the construction. Next time I would choose larger pipes and put all the cable stuff in the frame. But the whole construction was a lot of fun.

Your use of basic tools and few jigs makes this project look really approachable. I’ve seen so many frame building videos that make it look more difficult than it is. Thanks for that!

All these keyboard warriors who all made their last bike frame with two hand files, some emery-cloth and a paraffin blow lamp. Sheesh! Give the man credit… he built most of his own tools, welding table etc. on which he constructed this frame. I wouldn’t want to ride anything that heavy, but… give the man credit, for goodness sake.

Schönes Video das zeigt, dass man kein Wissenschaftler oder Künstler sein muss um einen Fahrradrahmen zu bauen. Aber man muss das Handwerk verstanden haben und das kommt super rüber. Ohne E-Motor wäre das "Eisenschwein" bestimmt etwas träge, aber bei der Materialstärke haltbar wie ein alter Lanz ;-)

I was a tad confused by one of the shots were you already had the wheels put on, before finishing the rest of the assembly. And I have to ask if the only thing that's holding the battery in place is a series of tie-wraps. In my opinion you still need to add a kickstand. But overall it looks very nice, with a sleek design.

TIG welders are expensive, a decent one at leat $2,000 plus you have to get gas bottles( Argon, CO2, etc depending on what your welding) You can buy a ready made Ti frame about same money.

@jasonkroll2735 5 ай бұрын

Was thinking it was chromoly...but 9.5 lbs. says it's hi tensile steel. Unless the tubing is extremely thick . Nice work building the frame and whole bike..marino custom chromoly hardtails are 3.1 kg 300 bucks.

@cycleistic1365 5 ай бұрын

Nicely done. Yet the frame is quite heavy, should have used better/lighter tubes though the electric motor compensates some of that. And the overall size seems a little compact for the rider, like a youth size on a grown man. If this was the first frame project, it's a nice start, can make it better next time.

Moin, geiles Projekt ✌️😎 Ein paar Gedanken / Punkte: Das Schaltauge wird eigentlich bewusst extra anschraubbar gemacht, da es gerne mal bei Schaltfehlern massiv verbogen wird oder gar abbricht. Passiert, wenn das Schaltwerk mitsamt der verhedderten Kette hinten über den Rahmen rauf gebogen wird. Passiert öfter als man denkt und will, gerade bei off-road. Schaltwerk fix mit Ausfallende findet man eher bei den günstigeren Rädern, wo das oft ein ganzes Stanzteil ist. Kriegst du sicher in dem Fall wieder schön hingebogen, aber das kann man ja auch vermeiden 😏 Beim Einbau von Steuersatz und Innenlager unbedingt Montagepaste oder zumindest Fett verwenden, das kann sich sonst schön festfressen. Hast du sicher gemacht, aber im Video hab ich es nicht sehen können. Aber all in all richtig schönes Projekt! Glückwunsch!

@TheMetalist 5 ай бұрын

Vielen Dank 😊 Ja das mit dem Schaltauge wollte ich erstmal auch zum schrauben machen war mir aber dann doch zu viel arbeiten. Werde mich dann ärgern wenns passiert. Wird aber wenig als mtb benutzt deswegen gehe ich mal davon aus das....😅 Ne Paste hab ich nicht gemacht 😅 und dafür hab ich jetzt gerade auch keine ausrede 😅 Grüße

@RazzFazz-Race 5 ай бұрын

Bei Stahlrahmen ist es doch üblich, dass das Schaltauge fest mit dem Ausfallende verbunden ist. Erst als die Alu-Rahmen aufkamen wurde das anders, weil ein Schaltauge aus Alu beim Zurückbiegen ziemlich schnell abreißt. Stahl kannst du dagegen ziemlich häufig und sehr stark biegen.
