THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING BIKE I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. I want this as my city bike 100%
This is epic. Who needs physics when you have faith. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Everybody.
This was amazing, would like to see some upgrades and a part 2 on it
please that would be amazing
*You should call this the 'HardRide'.*

THIS is one of the SICKEST bikes i have ever seen being built! Keep up the good work!!
u should put the wheel with disc cover behind because steering while having a disc cover in the front wheel is dangerous it can shift the front wheel if the wind is strong enough
but over all i love the build it reminds me of cervelo rb
Agreed, I wondered what his intention was for the front aero wheel?
@@-Flea Did you watch to the end? It's not actually an awro mod. The covers are there for "bike polo". To prevent the mallet from going between the spokes.
@@AnttiBrax no I didn’t actually, that makes sense thx for clarification
The cover isn't there to be aerodynamic, this is commonly done for bike polo. It protects the spokes of the front wheel.
@@alexciccone4397 were did he say he built the bike for polo. he riding it on the street so yes he using it as a aero device. Im actually riding it as my daily now was his words
This build earned a sub.
That looks rad
Seconded
Make that three... I would ride the shit outta that rig
100% I don't know how it got on my feed. BUT, I'm glad it did. Awesome stuff dude!
lol rad actually means wheel in german
They didn't claim it so count me 4th!
"This monstreeeuuuusity" is awesome, signature paint job.
THIS MAN LEGIT BUILT A CERVELO P3X FIXIE!!!!!1
Some would say this is crude,but in my eyes this is a beauty of its own.
I'm also wondering how that flex is like
Wondering the same thing
You may barely see it, but you would feel the flex on the tail side when skiding or braking probably due to lack of support from upper tube. He needs to reinforce the tail end or atleast swap it to more rigid type of metal.
probably the most comfortable fixed gear there is. subbed!
Dude, those final result shots are awesome!
❤️
This is absolutely insane! You did such a great job with it, looks sick.
11 kilograms isn’t that heavy, my Giant aluminium racer is 10. I like the style of the bike you made, nicely done.
Surely that has shifters, brakes, chain Cass etc?
A good fixed bike can easily weight 7kg
@@geoffersmaheri converted steel bike from 70' to fixie and it weights 10kg. No brakes, seat with bare plastic, cut out cable eyelets. So 11kg for bike made from ordinary steel square tubing isnt that bad.
Here in the Philippines, we ride 15kg bikes
@@vinceerwenanza242 hahaha we were trained for heavy bikes
This is fantastic stuff, man! I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your future projects. Good luck with them!
Dude, the end of the video is 🔥
damn. he rlly did what everyone dreams of. congrats man i love it.
Man keep this frame design forever, people from 30 years from now should be driving bikes like this! Cant imagine how awesome would it be if built in alu or carbon fiber.
Steel gives it springiness.. that's usually good for floating seats, carbon & alu would be stuper stiff
You can buy a frame like this in Carbon Fiber from 25 years ago. It's called a Trek Y Frame....
Defenitely one of my favourite bike frame designs
Wow, what a cool bike!! Probably the sickest frame I've ever seen so far, great job Man!
Wow, that's really cool. The skids look super dope on that bike!
Awesome build. Would love to see something similar in lighter materials
Give this man a R&D team and funding and he'll make great stuff
Dude that would be a dream!
Beautiful work. Very satisfying to see you ride it at the end. Such a striking shape.
Love the look of your creation and also great inspiration for all would be bike builders - you just need to get on and do it - just keep safety in mind!
Yes, good point sir! Thanks!
Awesome, I should try something similiar soon - so far only frame conversions. Very well put together, frame and video - creative and funky! Mahlzeit!
Amazing job, congratulations! You are the only one I´ve seen in YT in the right way to use the grinder. Keep going..!!! Greetings from Argentine.
i come from downhill mtb, never even sat on a fixie and now you got me wanting to build one. that things sick af
Dude, you literally created the same painting as me. Only that I made it with a wood called kiri, it is very resistant and very light, the complete bicycle weighs around 6kg. fixie forever. Hello from Argentina ♥️♥️♥️
vamos otro argentino, eu en donde podria ver una foto de tu bici? me dio intriga
@@kevan_ hola, como andas, no tengo ninguna foto publicada en ningún lado. Hace 3 años la armé y nunca publique nada
@@frandalzotto7244 y subite una
I love your video and a lot to learn keep making nice vid watching from Philippines ♥️
That frame is absolutely phenomenal.
this is literally my favourite video that i’ve ever watched 😍😍😍😍
That is a big advantage for a steel bike.. you can make changes and modification or you can easily re use parts of frames to do something like this.. I like it!! Great Job!
This gives me Cervelo P5X vibes and I love it
You are so talented man!! Thank you for responding to my inquiry on IG and being so helpful. You have a very bright future ahead of you and hope to join you for the ride!
🙏
bruh, aerodynamics lvl 99999999!
this design is so cool, please make more things like this one🔥🙏🏻
this is AMAZING, you should definately patent that frame design before you see it in one of the big brands lol
You mean like the PX Series from Cervelo? This design is an eye catcher without any question but it will always have issues in lateral stiffness. This frame design is also currently not race legal in bike races. Beside all these things, this bike looks pretty nice. Well done.
@@LarsEchterhoff beam bikes are an absolute banger to ride, already see some PX during Iron man btw ;)
unlikely. he already said that the rear wheel is wobbly. why would a large bike maker 'steal' a flawed design? DUH !!
@@raymondo162 @LarsEchterhoff omg you guyss thnx for enlightening me!!!! ilysm! You guyss are genius!!
Certainly not practical but it's mostly about creativity, and yes, it is functional . Well done.
Hope you make one with round tubing in the future.
Dude, yes. Absolutely brilliant.
You are genius, congratulations. I love this fixed bike.
You need to check out the frames made by the bike company Softride. Sadly the company shut down their frame factory a few years after the UCI banned them from competition.
I still own a Power V that I ride fairly often.
Don't worry about a heavy bike, it will preserve momentum. Harder to get it going but easier to keep it going. I read an interview with a guy in the UK who's famous for only doing Audax rides (how far you can go in a set time usually 12+ hrs). And he does it on a cheep £300 steel frame - rest of his bike is worth a fortune though. TLDR - as long as your not doing hills #Holland and not having to stop for traffic often, a heavy frame is actually better.
Dude, you frame is awersome !
Thats one of the craziest bikes ive seen and this video was very funny and well edited.
All the bike needs is a brake stay to stiffen the rear triangle
I have thought about this yeah!
Love the result! You should team up with someone to create the aluminum version
That would be awesome!!!
Carbon fiber!
@@Br0adster4 this still exists made by Zipp for Triathlon in the 90s
This channel is really amazing. I can already see it grow. No cap.
I really appreciate your work u helped me so much , trying to find research for building a fully custom frame that’s not like every other bike is a little hard there’s barley any videos on it , I’m building a fully custom e bike and this helped a lot thank you
Nice! The two-color paint on the square tubes really lights it up!. A stronger steel alloy such as 4130 may flex less.
All steel is equally stiff. Different steel alloys will have significant differences in elongation, corrosion resistance, strength, ease of machining/abrasion resistance, ability to withstand high temperatures when welding... Rigidity is largely about cross section or diameter as it's diameter x diameter x diameter x diameter x wall thickness x rigidity of the material (for example aluminum is a less rigid material than steel for a given amount) ÷ length ^3. A stronger steel such as cromo, heat treated cromo, heat treated air hardening steels such as 4340... allows larger diameters with thinner tubing walls which allows it to be stiffer and lighter and probably stronger.
Nobody:
This guy: When you're about that "loosing control in crosswinds and getting slamed" life.
Dude It's a challenge and a half to keep this thing in a straight line in crosswind!
@@Raphson So, get rid of the disks. They serve no purpose for this bike and are dangerous.
What a nice job! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
that drill bit case... wow
Very cool, I like how visually it seems very front-heavy due to the closed wheel and seat only attached to the front, whereas most bikes look either more balanced or rear-heavy.
Really loving this build! Great job.
But please be safe out there🙏🏻 I would guess the two welds on the „top tube“ are the most critical ones. Hope they’re doing well
Greetings
I keep a close eye on it man, do not worry! Thanks for watching man!
The beauty of ingenuity!
Amazing job and result. Love your videos. Congrats
Is the front disc wheel just for asthetics or does it serve a real purpose for stability? Normally you only run a single disc wheel on the rear on a Track or TT bike. If you didn't opt to run both front and rear disc wheels for aerodynamics.
It's merely an aesthetics thing. It is an authentic used bike-polo front wheel which was given to me. I wanted to honour this former bike-polo player. But indeed, it's absolutely horrifying to ride this thing during wind! You must be so alert.
Could have smoothen out the welds, not very reliable/strong (since there is no testing made), BUT overall nice looking bike, 10/10
PS: you've earned my sub
"smoothen"
@@marcalvarez4890 smohten
that thing is a work of art
Awesome design and well done for just going with it and building it 🙌
If you added a bit of suspension to the seat with 2 hinges or something it would’ve taken this to a whole other level
Awesome design, but for me it looks kinda dangerous because the back has no tube. But it looks cool
Omg man, this is so sick fixie frame i've ever seen! i loved this man! keep it up.
That's some piece of art 🔥🔥🔥
Good work my friend, you are correct, I've built a few bike frames from scratch and I still ride one.
sheeesh brother
i can't believe that u made this thing
as a bike frame builder i am blown by this
Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you! 🙏🏻
Stunning, great design.
Bravo sir! looks great.
What a good creativity. More videos like this, please.
Beautiful, great job
I would definitely avail one of those! daz crazyyy! super cool that someone invented new frame❤️
Cool build man! There is a certain satisfaction in riding your own build.
thats really looks fanstastic and unique your video deserves a thousands subs
This is a fantastic design. I think it has potential. If it were available in the market, I would definitely buy it. I will name this bike for you "THE PREDATOR X1"
That sounds pretty darn epic! I am considering building ones to sell...
Absolute gem of a channel i found today thanks algorithm
Would love to see more of this project
This bike is awesome! It’s aesthetically pleasing but I like the wheels switched, and way loved the video keep it up
I had a big smile on my face when you started riding it ! It looks sick :D
Thanks man!
Outstanding. Good work.
Looks absolutely gorgeous
Holly molly, never subbed so fast in my life, this build is sun fire awesome!!!
Fokin love it. Keep making contents like this!
Great job, love it
This is actually pretty slick
It's more than spectacular. You earned a sub for sure
i would happily ride this beast! love the paint design too !
Such a amazing job 😍👏👏👏👏👏
Sweet Whip Homie ! Supper Inspiring to get a craving on building some cycles my self after watching your never say die attitude !
My dream fixie frame this is awesome!
It looks beautiful!
Nice video! Lot of fun to watch
Incredible job and incredible video!
dope bike! I subbed when I noticed the AM90s on the ride!
This is honestly really cool! Nice job man. :)
Love the design bro! What a unique fixie bike.
Thats a beautiful design! Well done
I love the design off the frame, I give you five stars 🤩, incredible Idea....
Awesome!
That's an art piece
Brilliant! Nice Design.
