If I were a rich man I would commission a bespoke frame from you. Then I would fit it with some fancy hydraulic breaks just to hear you ranting about overcomplicated solutions and how cantilever breaks rule. Jokes aside, I'm a big new fan of yours. I like your style.
That’s actually funny!
Gotta make it dumber, hydraulic rim brakes. And a belt drive
from bike farmer to bike framer, awesome series, hope you do more frames after, this videos are awesome
I think you're doing pretty good. Braising is fun when everything works. Can't wait for the next one.
This is the best cliff hanger that I have watched in years! Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Really enjoying watching you think/talk/work through this process. The editing is great, too!
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m pretty self-conscious about coming across as a bumbling idiot with these videos. This feedback is reassuring!
@@bkefrmr You got this!
I think everyone is looking forward to the brazing part. Another good one here. Cheers. 👍
Well, I'm editing that stuff right now and it's really not all that great. It's super hard to get good footage of stuff I suck at doing. It's probably going to be a bit of a let down, but still valuable and worth publishing I think. I think it's good to show you don't need to be a master craftsman or artisan to build your own bike frame.
Love it can’t wait to see it even if it’s not the worlds best footage thanks Andy
Really enjoying this series...You are killing me with the cliffhangers, but that is just because I want to see hiw ut turns out.
Cut and try. Cut and try. Cut and try. I guess a good part of the world is built with cut and try. You know,.......there's a lot of people who just don't understand that. If some new product has "bugs," cut and try may fix it on the next go round. Good video.
Loved the intro and soo cool to see the process and how you talk us through it. I just got a steel gravel bike and I’m in the market for a steel Rivendell Rando bike I give you the credit and blame on equal measures 😂❤❤❤
This is really interesting. I'd love to make my own bike from scratch. Please keep going.
I did my 1998 build in a boilermaking shop which made everything so much easier .
Nice build.
Glad to see you got the Gregory seal of approval 😂 go cat bike
When I watch the time and effort it takes, it is no wonder custom frames are expensive. I know it's a long way from done but it looks great.
Keep going. This is really entertaining. Don't sell yourself short. You are doing a great job. Mark
dude. your videos are my fav bike channel videos. please keep making videos. this bike making video is so helpful and fun to watch!
What a challenge! Congratulations for having the courage to show all the steps while you are still learning and open to make mistakes. We need more guys like you on RUclips. Thank you, you are very inspiring!
The Force is strong with you. Nice build 👍. Looking forward to Part III. I’m working on an 8’ wingspan RC balsa glider. Sanding is so much quieter! You got this.
That's a cool project too!
Building things. Yep, that’s where I can stand back and say, “I made that”! (If it sucks I start over, but so far no regrets). Like the Star Wars roll. Saw the first one in June ‘77 at the mall when I was 14. Pretty cool stuff back then.
nice. enjoying this. anticipating the paint job
Spoiler alert…beeswax
Don't stop, you got this. Great videos.
Andy just pulling out his tubes to look at bulges and butts... definitely on brand. Way to hang in there will all the manual filling of the tubes. I'm sure it could have been easier with some other power tools, but where's the fun in that.
Love it man!! This is gonna be one sick bike🤘🏻 thanks for taking us along for the ride...
The downtube cut with slow-mo fall away and Six Million Dollar Man sound effect is A+
I’m going full-blown Hollywood after this
Good plan😀
Wow! I missed Jiggy l. But there sure was a lotta readin in yer intro. Got some catchin up to do. 👍👍
That's content I want to see ... including all the little hickups and mistakes made during the process. Super nice! :)
That' exactly how I would do it too, thanks for paving the way for me to screw it up too!
I could never trust a frame I built myself😅.
Fun to watch.
this is a satisfying series to watch.
Woody is expanding his repetoir. Good to see.
Gold, I always tune in for “exteded” periods of time.
This is so cool. Beside riding bicycles and haphazardly turning the wrench on my own bikes my other love is woodworking - particularly luthiery, as in building acoustic guitars. Wood is so much easier to work with, but it's a living thing and can move on you based on weather conditions. My real bane is power tools which have literally chewed up and spat out my latest project, but I've opted to not throw it in the burn barrel. Instead I'm attempting to fix the mistake by going back 5-6 steps in a process that was about 80% done, so I understand your frustration. Kudos for keeping at it, and if this one turns out to be a dog then build another. That's what I'm also doing.
Project is looking good! Impressive work.
You've probably long since replaced that hacksaw blade, but in the closeups it looks to me like you've got it on backwards.
So pumped for this build!
This is so amazing. I hope, everything will go into your preferred direction. I'm so curious, to see the finished frame. :o)
And here I was wondering what you had for a compressor since your earlier videos often just have air always ready for tires ... er, but running a die grinder is a very different animal!
Star Wars intro, Awesome
How many hours of work does the video represent? Very enjoyable watching.
Many
Great set of videos so far, this convinced me to join so take that for the compliment!
Great to hear! Thanks!
GREAT JOB!!!
Hell yea
Epic
so far so good!
Maybe you should do something crazy like float a price for a completed frame... I'm a Riv fan but won't buy one of those new styles/geometries Grant sells. Regardless, really enjoy your channel.
Can't wait for part 3!!!
Exciting stuff
Rip compressor 👋🏻
Bravo!
Thanks! Very nice job with the tube miter/coping. Question, though: since you are using lugs, how important is the tube miter fitment? Is that joint structural? Or is the lug serving that purpose?
It’s probably not that important. But better to be safe than sorry 🤷🏻♂️
You should always have your miters cut as precisely as if you were going to tig or fillet braze the joints. Any gap between the head tube and top tube or down tubes, for example would mean that the loads at these connections would be supported by the lug alone, which is not an ideal solution. It's much better for the lug to serve as a reinforcement to the joint, as would happen with proper, precise mitering with minimal gaps,
Your cat’s name is Greg?
I’m considering going to bike building school in Tucson for 11 days, it’s going to cost around $4,000 when all is said and done, but they supply the bike cad, jig, tubes h(including a reasonable amount of mistakes) ,frame lugs, braze ons, brazing equipment. I figure by the time I source all that stuff myself, I’m fast approaching $4,000 for something I’m going to use once and really don’t need again or have the space for… I live on a sailboat, so a workshop really isn’t an option.
Do it
I mean, if you can afford it, why not?
@@bkefrmr figure out what it would cost you if you had zero equipment and had to buy it all new, considering you have no idea if you will be able to buy any of it used AND the shipping to you if you do. Plus the cost of frame tubes that multiply every time you screw up. It's not as cut and dry as not going to a school to build a bike.
@@david78212 and the fact that you (I) really don’t know shit about Framebuilding and metalworking…
@@bkefrmr exactly. I do know how to braze, I worked summers and after school working in my stepdad’s auto body shop and this was long before tig and mig welding, so we used to braze in replacement sections of a body panel. The only other thing we had was a gigantic spot welder for floor panels. But now I really don’t have the equipment or space for properly working on bike frame tubes.
Surely there must be someone in your small town who you know who has a milling machine? You could try hole saws on a pillar drill but they often don't have the rigidity that you will need to keep everything aligned. These type of machine tools should be common in the agricultural heartland! 😊
Surely there must be
Cat content FTW!
You can tube notchers for reasonable money. Makes life alot easier
I have one. It doesn’t make life a lot easier.
The intro was so corny I rolled chicken in it 🍗🍗
Why filling the tubes to such precision when the lugs are not only hiding the connection but also doing all the structural strength?
I mean, the tubes could be just barely in contact and it would not make a difference?
After all the tubes are not welded to each other, they are welded to the lugs, right?
Theoretically, if it's not a tight fit, you're depending on the lugs for structural integrity, which would be more prone to stress fractures. With a tight fit, you have a good chance of creating little fillets at the joint. While this is technically true, I question its practicality. Seems to me like the lugs would provide plenty of structural integrity on their own. Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose.
Get a drill press and a new compressor!
GET a hand-held die grinder!
Hand filing takes too, too much time!!!
Your shop could use a Bridgeport. Just saying.
The facebook marketplace algorithm has also picked up on this apparently 🤣😂
"These are not the tubes you're looking for"
Thanks Hey!
Measure twice, cut once me thinking 😅
.... I coulda built 2 fixxies out the dumpster by the time you found those Miters . . whotf names their cat, Greg? 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
