I did another awesome build. This time i didn’t even use an angle grinder so i guess thats progress!
ruclips.net/video/hMb5x950U7M/видео.html
The styling choices make it very victorian, great bike on the cheap.
After seeing him start painting everything including the bike frame. Over spray everywhere. I had to turn this video off. GEESE !
@Thomas Smith - He did say “cheap” in the title to be fair. I think that’s part of the fun/convenience of riding a fixie. It doesn’t have to be fancy or have a professional (expensive) paint job. If you have to rent a clean room and expensive paint equipment then what’s the point? If you want a fancy single gear bike right out of the box, Specialized will sell you a Sirrus single gear “flip flop” fixed cog for just under $700. Boring. But it has really nice paint...
Who cares. It's an awesome Fixie.
@@clay9333 I think the bigger issue is there is paint all over the shop now and it is super bad to spray paint in an enclosed area. At least put on a p95 paint mask.
Best part was watching him huff rattle bombs for a solid 5 minutes in 3x speed which means he was gettin loaded for AT LEAST 15 minutes on aerosol paints!😂👍🏽
I like that bell placement
Paint everywhere!!!!!!
Cool bike hanger. Looks like how they used to hang bikes at the old Nottingham Raleigh factory!
pretty cool
Very nice classic ride.
God that turned out lovely,didnt it...
I thought it would be a fixed wheel, but a coaster brake! even better!
Damon Thomas what is a coaster brake? Thanks.
Vishal Kumar there's a brake in the rear hub that comes on when you pedal backwards.
Damon Thomas oh that's a fixed type bike.
Vishal Kumar no, fixed is a solid connection between rear sprocket and hub, no brake involved.
Daamn you guys have such different types of bikes, in India we almost always have either a Single speed or multi gear bikes.
These fixie bikes with rear hubs having brakes and fixed type of bikes is a very new concept for me at the least to speak.
Ist looks good but it would be much better If you hadn't painted the headset.
That s my kind of single speed.
Schön, vor allem der Farbkontrast zwischen Rahmen und Reifen gefällt mir sehr gut!
Love the build dude hope you have fun riding it.
Thank you so much man! A friend of mine is riding it now and really likes it!
Beautiful SS coaster brake bike! I have one with the same system. Do you feel like putting front brakes on it? Or does your city has a gentle traffic? I live in Rio, thing get wild. I'm seriously thinking about those front brakes. Not easy to find them tho
I love the look of that bike!
Todo bien,pero use gafas protectoras ojos solo tiene dos y no hay reemplazos y máscara de pintura,los pulmones se afectan con los años,solo es un consejo la seguridad sobre todo,
Did anyone else notice that that first Song had the same basic chord progression as Toto - Africa?
Hoi Benn,
Heb je nog speciaal gereedschap nodig om het achterwiel met het tandwiel te monteren? Of überhaupt bijzonder gereedschap
Beste Benn Veninga,
Allereerst wil ik je complimenteren met je prachtige fiets.
Ik heb al maanden de droom om hetzelfde te doen, maar kom na uren research er nog steeds niet achter hoe je een freewheel eraf haalt en hoe je een fixed tandwiel moet terug zetten.
Hoe heb jij dit gedaan, en hoe kom ik aan deze onderdelen en/of gereedschappen?
Hi Laurens! Dankjewel. Super leuk om te horen!
Je kunt een freewheel wel vervangen maar dan heb je wel handremmen nodig. Dat hoeft in deze situatie niet. Ik heb zelf de wielen vervangen. Dit zijn wielen met een remnaaf. Alle onderdelen en gereedschappen komen bij www.budgetfietsonderdelen.nl vandaan.
Ik zou er gewoon aan beginnen. Ik heb ongeveer 100 euro uitgegeven aan deze fiets. Best een hoop geld maar het is wel erg leuk om te doen en je houd er wat leuks aan over!
Groeten,
Benn
Just to be clear. This is a coaster, not a fixed gear. Cool video though! And yes buddy, you should wear a mask! Take care.
This hub has coaster brake, so it s not a fixie.
Congrats on destroying your derailleur hanger. It was 100% needed to destroy it and to heat a frame so it isn't as durable as before IN THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE OF THE FRAME.
69 people scared of spray paint? wow.
Can I ask where you got all your parts? Thanks!
Parabéns pela bike. Ficou realmente muito bonita.
Thank you so much!
Provavelmente irei fazer uma, caso eu dê continuidade ao projeto irei postar 1 video
Why you gotta cut the shit off man just put parts on and ride who cares if them shits is on there
Awesome !!!
...
🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
So cool man!
Thank you so much!
nice bike, but dude, I hope there was at least a window open, still pretty bad, but you know, not optimally huffing at least.
Elexs thank you!
Behind the camera is an overhead door. So one of the 4 walls is open.
nice bike
Beste Benn,
Mooie projecten! Vraagje; ik zie je spuitbussen gebruiken, volgens mij zowel een soort grondlak als de uiteindelijke kleur. Waar haal je deze spuitbussen en is dit een duurzame/weerbestendige methode?
Vriendelijke groet, Henk Jan
Hallo Henk Jan,
Dankjewel! De spuitbussen die ik gebruik zijn gewoon de goedkope van de action. De lak is aardig sterk maar om het helemaal goed te doen kun je het best primer, kleur, en nog een blanke laklaag aanbrengen. Dit kan helaas niet echt met een matte kleur. Maar met een glimmende kleur word dit mooier en sterker.
Groeten,
Benn
Hartelijk dank voor de tip Benn! Ik ga voor glans!
Did anyone else notice the coaster break?
How did the coaster brake work out? Nice saddle.
can you make a list with the components you used?
Ik heb een Peugeot racefiets die ik wil ombouwen tot een fixie. Ook heb ik een wiel met een vast tandwiel aangeschaft, maar toen ik het wiel in de fiets plaatste liep de ketting over het tandwiel. Is het wel mogelijk om bij dit wiel de originele crank en ketting te gebruiken?
Hee Laurens,
Misschien even proberen met een nieuwe single speed ketting? Ik denk dat de crank wel te gebruiken moet zijn maar wellicht de ketting niet meer.
@@bennv dus in afstand tussen de schakels van nieuwe singlespeed en delaileur kettingen zit geen verschil?
Is that a coaster brake!!
Yes! Here we have little to no hills do a coasterbrake works fine. Advantage to living in the Netherlands!
omg i love it
Thank you so much!
Is there a chance you know from what bike that frame is ? its very minimalistic and i like it!!! i've never owned a fixie but i'd really like to try it and í'am thinking about building my own since new frames and a complete bike a very very very expensive and a may not even like riding it :) so i thought ill just start a little project and build my own. I'm a very handy 15 yr old i should be able to do this lol and my dad can help with this i can't do. The first stem that seems smart to me is find a donor bike to get a frame from, since i'm very picky i can't find any i like the shape of. but then this came by, the frame you used is very minimalistic and i like it a lot.
hey Benn, can i ask if you are selling that bike. that is the type of design i was looking for on a fixed gear bike.
So stupid
1. Disassemble the headset don't spray over the chrome that is so lazy and looks terrible
2. Mask of the bb threads as I'm sure you ruined them
3. Put up a bed sheet or something as I'm sure you oversprayed everywhere.
4. Wear a mask
Hi Benn, echt vet hoe je dit gemaakt hebt. Geeft me motivatie. Welke frame en vork hoogte heb je gebruikt voor deze fiets?
Groeten ,
Irwi
Hallo Irwi,
Dankjewel voor je leuke reactie!! De framehoogte is bij deze fiets 61 centimeter. Dit maakt hem geschikt voor mensen van 1,80 tot 1,90 ongeveer.
Dude this is dope
Thank you man!
Usually how much of a can of spray paint and primer do you need for the whole frame and 2 rims ?
I think one can of primer and 2 cans of paint should be enough. Just to be sure you could add another can of primer.
What's up with the saddle and The Handlebar
wala lihowa i think they are doing just fine!
Mooi geworden! Is het mogelijk om de ketting te spannen?
Dankjewel! Ja dit is inderdaad mogelijk. Als je een frame op zoekt met horizontale pads dan kun je het wiel gewoon naar voren en naar achter zetten. Het is dus wel belangrijk om hier op te letten wanneer je een project frame uitzoekt. Rond 0:31 kun je goed zien hoe de pads eruit moeten zien.
Hey, heb je onderdelen gebruikt van de website die je hebt genoemd? Zo ja, welke?
Hallo Marleen,
Dat klopt inderdaad. Alle onderdelen komen van www.budgetfietsonderdelen.nl .
Groeten,
Benn
Hello, do have a list of the parts you used? They are looking very nice.
Hi! I used mostly parts available on www.budgetfietsonderdelen.nl (wheels, steer, cranks, etc etc.) And these are the tires: onlinefietsonderdelenkopen.nl/product/grijze-transportfiets-buitenband-28x1-75-buiten-band/
Gaaf
Very nice work! I am impressed! How many hours did you put into this certain project? Greetings from Munich to the Netherlands!
Hi! Thank you so much. Because i did this in multiple +/- 1 hour sessions its hard to say how much time it took. I guess is was between 4-8 hours.
@@bennv Thx! Sorry for the late reply! :)
Please stop the shaking
wat heeft je dat achterwiel gekost?
Seppe Vanbelle 29,95! budgetfietsonderdelen.nl/product/achterwiel-zwart-28x1-58/
He benn,mooi stukje werk,maar als ik een frame overspuit heb ik alles onder de spuitnevel,jij niet?
Well. I don't wanna be rude or something like that, but the way you painted the frame and the star of transmission is not "awesome", as you say. In my opinion, it is violation of painting technology. In addition, the vintage seat looks a little bit strange here, but it is just my opinion, nothing more. Best wishes!
It's not a fixed gear it a coaster brake wheelset
Please tell me, what size of wheel do you use? Is that 700c or 26?
27
i love every time?but my mom don't buy new bikecycle for me she alway say to me to ride moto is better but i want bikecycle
Wat spoot je er eerst op?
Hallo Pepijn,
Na het schuren en schoonmaken eerst een primer. Gewoon de primer van de action, die werkt super!
Groeten,
Benn
What’s with the rip off of Africa by Toto
Don't know man. I do not hear it.
Это невероятно
So many things wrong in this video
What size tires are those?
37-622 (28x1 5/8)
Older and wiser than you for sure Apache.
Don't you understand the difference between your and you're? How about there their and they're?
It's a single speed, but not a fixie. The wheel can still turn freely.
Thats why the title and thumbnail say single speed.
That beat is sexy
Thanks man!
Can you build one for me? 😍
If i had the time i would love to man! Maybe in the future!
Benn Veninga omg bro, really? 😍😍😍 I will offer you a good pizza 🍕. I'm from Italy 🇮🇹
Don't dream bro
=p ;)
Gab Chmt :(
maybe i'm wrong bro ! =)
That is not a fixie. It uses a coaster brake.
Thats why the title and thumbnail say single speed.
@@bennv it does also say fixie. Thus the comment.
It also says ''Building'' but its not a building aswell.
@@bennv Guess it is all wrong for a lot of reasons.
Wtf are you doing with the frame all those sparkles and stuff lool the bike looks nice but you don't explain nothing
Hi man! Thank you for your reply. This is one of my older video's. I didnt feel comfortable talking on camera at that point. I started to talk and explain now but its all in dutch so you probably wont understand it lol.
I took the cable hooks and the thing where you mount the derailleur off. Thats the sparkling stuff. Maybe i will do a better video in the future in english or with subtitles.
Thanks for watching!
ok i get it thx for thr reply ! keep it up !
Never use an angle grinder on a frame...
I even use an angle grinder to clean chains or seats etc. Works perfect!
video recorded as if he is just timepassing not to teach anybody, freely collect views from youtube.
Hi man!
It’s really weird but where i come from “Building a single speed” doesnt mean “how to build a single speed”. But i’m sure it does where you come from because otherwise it would be a bit of a dumb comment.
And i don’t know if you are familiair with youtube but literely everyone is collecting free views. Thats kind of a thing on youtube.
learned nothing
You butchered the classic frame for no good reason
Did you see how the ''classic frame'' looked before i started butchering it?
He can do whatever the f*** he wants to do you f*** face.
Hey jacob, why the anger? Do you think you're better or smarter than me?
henrybikeman yes
henrybikeman bet your old
Boring
