Not only is the end result efficient and good looking, the process is also well-shot and the music is fun to listen to. You made a great video and a great bike mod. Thanks for posting!
We recently saw this bike at Kickstand while I was volunteering there! I had the exact thought to sit on the front cargo rack HAHA! Glad to see the creator intended it 😂
Instead of extending the forks you could have used bmx or kids bike fork, extended the head tube and steerer and then mount a rack on the head tube & down tube for much better stability. Yes, I am aware that the drop in cargo fork for 20 inch wheels is in vogue!
Good set up!, good technique, good job! It is so easy to criticize after you've done the work,,, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard (after it's done) "what's so special.....how else could you have done it?" I've been a fabricator for 50+ years and I know taking the original idea to completion is often a task of a whole lotta' thought. Good Job!😀👍
Hey Johnny, I'm no bike geo expert but at 0:34, you can retain a similar wheel base if you put the new front wheel maybe an inch or two back. It would result to you adjusting your cuts though from something perpendicular to an angle because you used a square tube. You will be able to play around with rake with a round tube, I suppose. Anyway, that was just a brain fart. I'm a new subscriber and now a fan of your work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Only thing I think I'd change on this while you were making a whole new fork is use disk brakes instead of v's. Better stopping power for the extra weight.
if he wanted to take back the bike to original form, he only need to change the fork thats why the rack was also attach to the fork instead on the frame
Man, that’s awesome, I loved the entire thing! Years ago, my dad did a custom splatter paint job on my sister’s bike and I’ve always loved that look. Great design and incredible quality video! Just subscribed!
incredible work bro, film, edit and music. People, me included, wish they had even an eighth of your skill. I love mechanical things and are are where it is at. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome build! I've been thinking about making one of those for years. Love the paintjob, I gotta remember that trick to flick it with your hands. I tried to flick it with a brush a few times and it never turned out right..
Phil Vandelay thanks dude! You really should, it’s pretty handy. Yeah paint spattering, I took an abstract painting class in university, it’s really paying off :)
What a long hard journey just to get to that ,seriously. Bike rack on front box on job done ,3 bolts ..drinking beers while others are still taking the forks out .
dude i love your work! we need some velo action and maybe some open source aspect? I am working on a battery following edisons design love to help incorporate it into your works!
wow, this is not only a cool build but also a great video. I realy like your way of filming and editing. i Watched every second of this video because it was fun! greetings
@@johnnywikk6472 you are welcome my friend! I like what you did there. My brother was here a moment ago and i showed him your video! he was also excited about the way yu make your videos. well done man!
Nice work especially the paint splatter. I wonder what kind of load capacity that will have. I have a bad habit of pushing that limit and breaking things :)
what was that bike you were riding at the beginning .. i loved that one as commuter ... will you please share the detail about it like frame size wheel size and what is your height?!(so many questions!!).i am thingking of building a bike like this minimal commuter. i will highly appreciate it TIA
I really like how everything came together as much as the end result :) I got only one question - how’s the handling with that fork when it’s really loaded up?
Yup, Sam that is true ,any hobby takes a bit of cash. honestly My welder was $300 But I did learn from a friend for free. Also if you are interested in learning, alot of cities have shared maker spaces. peace! ✌
