I guess "rebuilt" would not be the correct term entirely! You practically build a new bike using some spare parts from the old one! The bike looks awesome! It will be as good as the strength of the welds you placed!
Nice recycling ♻️, the pattern made the detentions the same between the head, the bottom bracket the seat and the distance between the wheels, thats a rabbit hole right there.
Good concept bike I'm a road racer I think that bike could be a future if I were you I'd work with a bike company to get one made out of carbon fiber and light components but it is a nice machine
@@CalmoOmlac There's absolutely no reason a similar design couldn't be made to be extremely strong and durable. The major stress points are fairly obvious, so you strengthen them accordingly. I wouldn't use aluminium because of its low fatigue limits, but steel or carbon fibre would be suitable. The frame wouldn't be particularly light or aerodynamic compared to high end traditional designs, but if it's done properly, strength and durability wouldn't be an issue.
Сразу видно, что человек никогда велосипеды не собирал) Задняя вилка у него отломится на первой кочке, или даже без кочек отломится - т.к. работает на излом.
Beautiful project and quite an interesting result. I wouldn't ride it much as the fork's angle plus the rear having only chain stays and not being a triangle give me shivers. Both areas would probably bend or even snap after some abuse.
You are absolutely right, this is just a concept, I sacrificed frame rigidity in favor of design. You can make a very rigid frame, and if you use aluminum, the frame will be very light.
It may have the classic "backpedal to brake" thing tho. Although imo its extremely sketchy (usually ride full squish mtb, 5-10ft drops easy, and then i tried a city bike... almost died lol)
@@nikitazaycev8636 Checked the video again and it indeed has a coaster brake... I guess I have to correct myself. I wouldn't ride it because of the same reasons and the fact that there aren't any brakes on the bike I would trust. At least 70% of the braking power on a bike comes from the front brake so....yeah good luck.
@@nikitazaycev8636 Disc brakes, specially hydros have that effect, last time I tested a backpedal brake bike I forgot about it and almost ended up in a ravine after trying to adjust my foot stance by backpedaling on a gravel curve . It takes time to readapt to other brakes, that's why my city bike also has hydros xD
looks like a prussian futurists Schnellfahrrad from 1930s (but it needs good rear and front light or reflektor too. in good style) thank you for showing your good work!
That bicycle was mass-produced at many factories throughout the USSR. It is still in production in this form. It's not vintage at all. Plus, from the pipes that I have left from the old bike, I will most likely also make some kind of bike when I have time.
That´s a lot of work just for the ascetics, it would have been nice to see an improvement in the frame and fork, for example: modern dropouts, disc brake mounts, 1 1/8” headtube, etc. it could be nice to see in a future video.
