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
@@-Flea Did you watch to the end? It's not actually an awro mod. The covers are there for "bike polo". To prevent the mallet from going between the spokes.
@@alexciccone4397 were did he say he built the bike for polo. he riding it on the street so yes he using it as a aero device. Im actually riding it as my daily now was his words
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.
Man keep this frame design forever, people from 30 years from now should be driving bikes like this! Cant imagine how awesome would it be if built in alu or carbon fiber.
Dude, you literally created the same painting as me. Only that I made it with a wood called kiri, it is very resistant and very light, the complete bicycle weighs around 6kg. fixie forever. Hello from Argentina ♥️♥️♥️
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!
@@geoffersmaheri converted steel bike from 70' to fixie and it weights 10kg. No brakes, seat with bare plastic, cut out cable eyelets. So 11kg for bike made from ordinary steel square tubing isnt that bad.
This is a fantastic design. I think it has potential. If it were available in the market, I would definitely buy it. I will name this bike for you "THE PREDATOR X1"
Love the look of your creation and also great inspiration for all would be bike builders - you just need to get on and do it - just keep safety in mind!
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.
man. i envy the skills of people abroad. and you young people having the equipment to do these DIY Jobs.... i must say, the bike looks extremely cool. and it reminds me of the AKIRA road bike ...and it also reminds me of the 80's triathlon bikes
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Could have smoothen out the welds, not very reliable/strong (since there is no testing made), BUT overall nice looking bike, 10/10 PS: you've earned my sub
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.
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.
You are so talented man!! Thank you for responding to my inquiry on IG and being so helpful. You have a very bright future ahead of you and hope to join you for the ride!
Nice to see some creativity . I ride a recumbent as i enjoy comfort and speed with no pains at the end of any ride . It would be interesting to see what you can do away from the diamond frame basis to what most bikes are based on.
From the Philippines say hello mate, what's up? This frame it's one small copy about My Softride full carbon . Flexible this is true, but comfortable for long distance : in 9 hours i ride 350 km. Many my friends bikers"IronMan" using Softride old times ago, my close friend Fabio Biasiolo l'ultracycling, ride 4 times the RAAM with the brand bicycle Softride . Have a nice day looking good bro. Cheers 🤗
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
Brass ones! Surely you were experiencing anxiety throughout the whole process. Like, the possibility it would totally collapse on first test. I respect that. I do some frame modifications myself, and have experienced some failure. Though not as much as one would expect. I've made my own quill stem adaptor to allow me to mount modern bars and stem on vintage steel frames. My current daily rider is an old steel Miyata 310 roadbike frame, converted to freewheel single speed.
To make it a little less likely to bend (at least on the back) you should have added those little pieces of tubing between both bars (you know? Like that piece of metal where most vintage kickstands were installed, and the other one where you install the rear mudguard) It is a brilliant design, nonetheless. Really good job
