I appreciate the amount of information you provide. Most other RUclipsrs are just ASMR fluff.

[@quantumleap8888]

Those front forks are super impressive James. Great work as per usual!

[@PatriotPainter]

For never doing any machining on the lathe before, you did a pretty dang good job!

[@patrickharrison5319]

I love seeing the level of dirt, dust, and grime on the original forks, as well as the front wheel and back hub motor. That isn't sarcasm: it's good to see that the bike you made two years ago got two solid years of reliable use.

[@illuminape7632]

have followed you for years, always love to watch you work! hope I can have my own shop someday, if not work for someone with one! im a repair tech currently.

[@robp4564]

Can't wait to see the finished bike. Looks amazing!

[@GingerPiston]

Absolutely love this build James - that front end particularly really makes it special

[@DuncanAitken]

This is awesome, James! Really enjoying following along on the build. Looking forward to the next instalment. Seasons greetings to you too.

[@lukemockeridge7899]

Beautiful work. I totally agree with your mechanical design choices to offset that box on wheels feel. Looking forward to seeing your next episode!

[@ddssrr1614]

This bike looks like something from the future. That fork looks so sick.

[@ahaveland]

Awesome work James, it looks fantastic - can't wait to see it finished!

[@toriwatson9655]

Can't wait to see this build progress. Awesome custom frame.

[@Ujz.]

Those Girder forks really seems nice, I have seen the making of them for the first time in this video and it was a new and very nice experience. Looking forward to see this bike running.

[@evtrekker1317]

Genius. Really appreciate the added narration.

[@MadebyBelarus]

Шикарный байк должен получиться! У Джеймса руки растут из правильного места 👍

[@da_SpiffR]

Wow, It looks fantastic. Great workmanship and design!

[@junjunmulleda5467]

I love that you went with a linkage front suspension. Frame looks great.

[@namtech425]

This is crazy impressive, the amount of thought you gave this and implemented is excellent. The bike looks amazing.

[@Toasta-Builds]

LOVE that front end! Nice work

[@yodasbff3395]

Your workmanship is awesome, looking forward to the next video. 👍

[@nitebirdscuffle4213]

Been around bikes all my life.....Truly humbled by the knowledge and innovation in this vid.....

[@rickreid8149]

Thanks James another great set up. Merry Xmas

[@proaudiorestore8926]

Looking good James! Look forward to the next installment!

[@btgreenhouses6258]

Nothing beats a truss design. Just awesome

[@marcthefastz1000]

this is work of art. you got skill !!!

[@michealfigueroa6325]

TY 4 sharing and we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year as well.

[@polla2256]

Wow, what a build !

[@AlexanderEresov]

Very interesting suspension, thanks for explaining!

[@TheDjonSilver]

Interesting idea and good custom design. For the forest, massive (my opinion), but in general - a good idea. The main thing is that the designer himself likes the result. We will follow! And it's nice to watch such projects.

[@alvaro_builds]

So cool, looking forward to watch the next one

[@stenapproved7684]

Wow that is absolutely incredible

[@ben5676755]

That was incredibly interesting as always. Love your stuff.

[@baldinglights8104]

I always wait for your video
hope to be updated often 😍

[@willtheelectrician8184]

This bike is already awesome!

[@maris22435]

Looking good! 💫

[@Juiceboxer0]

Love the design

[@eduarmercado5046]

God Bless You Man!!! Lovely Work!!!

[@nekoDan]

Wow you are a craftsman! I really enjoyed the creativity and skill that went into the frame and design. Looking forward to the rest of the build! I think you’d benefit greatly from a plasma CNC!

[@justanotherearthling1062]

Wow. Amazing work.

[@maxbar4166]

Wonderful job! Good job on the lathe!

[@raobhaivlogs]

just wow 😍 awesome effort

[@Juantovp]

Awesome video. Thank!

[@Sokrat999]

From an ordinary piece of iron, a work of art turned out. Thank you for the video.

[@The-B]

Hope the rest of the year will be good, and happy christmas

[@mrcrash4107]

I really admire your work, you're terrific. :D

[@mathis1493]

[@3str4ng3d]

looks insane!

[@crackedfingerz]

Nice angle grinder skills. Don't try this at home unless you know your sh*t. Thanks for the video. Very informative and entertaining.

[@rohitsonar103]

Waiting for next episode!!!

[@StillOnSteel]

Looks just awesome 👌

[@Specky12]

Superb work James. The fork is a thing of beauty (to a mechanical engineer).

[@mind_calming68]

[@MadMotoInc]

@@JamesBiggar very much appreciated 🙏🏽

[@edwardfletcher7790]

I LOVE this frame !
It looks like a Ducati without the engine 👍😆
This belongs at SEMA !

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Thought this was made in the USA, nope! Canada wins again !
Well done on the frame, and excellent info along the way :)!

[@d0cc0nners]

Awesome!

[@TheHottabich]

Братан, смотреть твои видео - всегда настоящее наслаждение! Удачи тебе! )

[@deridionentertainment]

Love your work new subscriber love I modding ebike and scooters myself and watching inventors like yourself make stuff.

[@bradlesc1000]

really cool

[@michaelsha2781]

really cool.

[@archangel_yt8116]

so basically, you took the idea of normal suspension and made it better. nice.

[@brianb-p6586]

This is not an original suspension design (so he didn't make any design better), but the fabrication work and the video are great.

[@chotuusian4127]

Good work

[@user-xm6eg6ib3v]

Loved it good 👍 job buddy

[@cb9custom173]

great work ...

[@michaelheron7428]

Wow! Hi I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@manvir_moron]

Thanks!

[@carrollnorwood5133]

Super rad good information very calm good footage and super awesome work good on you old sun thank you for the good entertainment I am a bike builder and I’ve been resting on my laurels you’ve motivated me to get off my ass and use my tools thank you

[@Dreamland_Designs]

Thanks so much for your ideas on metals.. wish i can get one of these from you....

[@kanartech]

Really cool project

[@giantvikasyt6354]

We exited for next part vedio

[@johnhosky2931]

Gorgeous bike…

[@kana0708]

Super great

[@TundeEszlari]

Good content.

[@paulwood3867]

Impressive fabrication and design

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks!

[@jvanschie942]

Being a fabricator my self for years this job from the jig to the machining is first rate very well done ,Ps a tube notcher and plasma would save time .awsome job a real labour of love .

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks 👍

[@madhavaraop8787]

Excellent design from India Visakhapatnam

[@andrerossi5010]

Excelent!

[@brianb-p6586]

The progressive spacing of turns of the front coil does cause progressive (increasing with compression) spring rate, but does not affect damping. Progressive damping requires a progressive internal damper (shock absorber) design, or a progressive linkage.

[@chrisdoucs]

Very, very Nice Work and great result. ;- )

[@giantvikasyt6354]

Informative for me 🙏🙏🙏love from india

[@raghavjoshi3146]

I miss my old lathe, may be I should get one back now

[@kiiiisu]

damnnn looking good!

[@av8shunmeckaneck]

Rad! Looks awesome. Lost track of your vids after you finished the last bike.
Awesome work on the lathe. Even awesomer having not used it before. Surprised that the threads worked at all with that cutter. They make cutter inserts with the correct tooth angle.

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks! 60° thread angle is correct. Tip radius could be smaller, though. The 5 pc tool kit was technically made for threading and other tasks, but it was cheap.

[@revolvingrider2146]

Hi James ❤️
long time subscriber.
What a great build, so much talent🙏👌
Im riding "Electric Unicycles" ( EUC's)
And if you ever designed one, it would blow the roof of the existing market designs 🙏
great videos, thank you👍😀
