    CAUTION: Working with Carbon Fibers are EXTREMELY hazardous. Usage of proper breathing apparatus and body coverall is a MUST. Don't take RISKS!

    • @Broccchedd

      Spraying the carbon with a little water when cutting/sanding will help minimize fibers going up into the air and breathing them in

    Incredible amounts if patience in making the frame & I really hope it serves you well for a long time. You're obviously a thoughtful man with great ability in making things.
    Today's carbon frames are designed & made up in a different way, with the tubes actually being different thicknesses & varied thicknesses, plus multiple direction of layering.
    This produces a stiffer, stronger, comfier & more compliant frame once built in to a bike.
    Time will tell on yours & I admire you very much for your effort.
    Thank you so much for sharing.

      Thank you. I must admit I no longer use it because I made some errors with geometry. The bike ultimately was a bit wobbly due to vertical slack (or lack of lean angle). Perhaps one day I can revisit this project and do another one with proper slack angle

    Hats off to you for the incredible build ! I started out framebuilding like you using hand made jigs. I used particle board and plywood almost 3 decades ago. I was brazing then so had to have a bucket of water nearby. Still riding the frames i built then. Will do a recumbent build like yours. I remember visiting a town framebuilder in Italy back in the 90's. He built steel frames without any jig. Just used a bike stand to hold tubes, strings to measure the symmetry of the frame. With enough desire to build a frame and with knowledge now available on the web, framebuilding is now within reach of home framebuilders.

    This bike was really easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

      It's Fovno Goblin heavily machined to shave weights. My Rotor Q Rings uses Rotor mount but I hacked in a three hole mounting around it to match the Fovno SRAM 3 points mount, and it worked!

    6 kg is a real success.. how is it going ? is there any damage or crack ?

    1. Не указан вес получившейся рамы. Карбоновая рама делается либо ради жесткости, либо ради веса. 2. Дорогая рама от дешевой отличается количеством смолы между волокнами, тут явно очень много смолы между волокнами. 3. Сколько всего денег ушло суммарно на расходные компоненты и материалы? 4. Так как прошел уже год, интересно как поживает рама сейчас, особенно в области задних перьев и кареточного стакана.

    How did you sand it sir? I wanna know, I am a Mechanical Engineering student, I might make this also in the future. Thank you for the answer.

      Sanding done in three different methods. Using rotary machines like my dremel drill and grinder with 80 grit bits. Then hand sanding using sandpapers, then wet sanding for finishing touches. Nothing special. Just repetitive and exhausting works

      @AndyEFonYouTube  2 роки тому +1

      Properly made carbon fibers will always be glossy when coated with clear coats, simple. You can even polish them as well

    Did you measure the head tube angle? Looks pretty steep?

    Those handlebars are custom modified, right? Inspired by Surly Corner Bars, or predating them?

    • @AndyEFonYouTube
      @AndyEFonYouTube  2 роки тому

      Yes Surly Corner Bar was the inspiration, ZNIINO then adapted the concept for a carbon fiber version with narrower angle. I further modded it shorter on the ends
