Cool! What do you think of it?

Well.. now I know that's it fine for building a "normal" bicycle. And it a bit complicated to fit curved tubes in it. Anyway it's actually easy to use and pretty precise (I've build a road bike frame before)

Getting closer!

Are those Schwalbe reflective tires? Man they look sweet. Also that size tire with this frame is out of sight! This one one of my favorite builds.

Yeah that are schwalbe big Ben 28x2 tires.
I'm used to wide rims and tires wider than 2" so for me that tires are thin.
And the whole idea was to try building a 28" wheel cruiser that would look massive and go as fast as a road bicycle. That's why I'm using 1" crmo tubing (that does not bend, as I know now).
I believe that the whole frame will not pass beyond 2kg mark.

I am liking how those bumpy curves are turning out.

It does remind me of the last Mad Max movie .... I came up with the idea before seeing it though.

The welded curves on that bike remind me of bamboo , it would look sweet with a custom paint job to match ...

My gf told me the same thing... guess I'll have to search for someone who can do some airbrushing. (I'm no good at painting[emoji1] )
Something like that maybe?

That looks really cool with the green.

Autodesk sketch and Samsung note pen help a lot when you want to get an idea of how it would look like.

I'm by far not as good as the guy in the video...

Another great build..hope you can pull off that bamboo effect. That's super cool!

It's funny how on a build you have a plan In your mind on how it's going to look & as the bike transforms, parts or circumstances change , before you know it it's not what you planed at all but it's turns out cool or sometimes even cooler than planned . Some how I think that's what has happened to you on this build ... [emoji232]

Absolutely.
It was going to be a nice smooth bike painted in grey and red.
Think I'll decide about the colour scheme once it will have all pieces on it. [emoji1]

That dry bamboo look wouldn't be bad either tan & brown

Rear triangle time!


I've messed up a bit the distances.... an the wheel is like 1.5 cm out of the line. Tomorrow I'll have to redo the brazing
