Finish this bicycle! Mini Town Bicycle - 18

In this video I finish the bicycle! We silver solder the cable guides, build a front rack, attach the fenders, and silicon bronze the PB badge onto the frame. Enjoy!

Beautiful build & workmanship. I'm glad you gave it a clear coat, I love the raw steel look.

[@GeneSimonalle]

Nice! I really like using 3d printed jigs for the head badges--clever idea and I am stealing that. 🤠⚒❤🚲

[@easkeybikes1966]

Welcome back! KZbin wasn't the same without your series.

[@hagenjewell2852]

Well done. Well worth the wait. Was nice to see it on the road and being enjoyed.

[@jody6183]

Was just about to comment on the v-brake mounts and then you go and make me feel like a fool by using them.... nice work 🤣👍🏻 Looking forward to the next project

[@Mr_RichardH]

I'm so glad you got it finished and I'm very much looking forward to the next project! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ranggiarohmansani]

[@jerrycaskey4483]

This deserves so many more views than it has. Incredible.

[@lazaromanalo6968]

Your so amazing! First time i’ve seen actual making of bike frame.

[@JK-lj4lp]

Awesome work! Congrats on finishing the build! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Gustl-gl5us]

It was also a lot of fun watching your videos! Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@lukehill6395]

congrats! i have been watching ever since you built the low budget frame jig for this bike. feels like forever ago!

[@emmettisbiking]

Great series. Really nice build. Thx for sharing

[@troelsovergaard4115]

You're an awesome, clever and creative craftsman! Kinda sad that the build has ended :) Beautiful bike, Hope the wife is happy about it.

[@nikolaizetrov617]

Magnificent built

[@ozenfant_ozn]

[@paulpiegsa6747]

A 5 min short video of the process could boost your Channel i guess. Cool bike!

[@ryanpeterson1664]

Looks fantastic! Congrats on finally finishing it.

[@Kremenetsky]

[@NotaRobot_gif]

Great work and filming/editing! A+

[@oscarcasallas4144]

I can't wait for your next project, as always, the result is very nice.

[@benc8386]

Lovely job and beautiful bike! Perfect timing as I was also making bridge tubes on a bike for my wife today! I did the same trick of cranking the dropouts out a bit.

[@sudseh]

congratulations on finishing the build! it looks like a great city cruiser.

[@krazed0451]

Very nice, Mr Pithy :-)

[@willarkoncel4413]

Impressive craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@just.some.dud3]

Woot! I get super stoked when I see a new PB vid. :)

[@huesitoggy]

A quedado excelente este maravilloso proyecto PITHY BIKES, !!!!!!! y lo mejor es que es para tu esposa!

[@whitecompany18]

You sir, are a fine engineer 👌

[@girliedog]

Beleive it or not I've had success silver soldering with my tig welder You have excellent skills , the wife is a lucky lady.

[@Markus_Stoiber]

Perfect! Thank you! Many Greetings from Munich!

[@fourzeroonek]

That turned out great. I had a weird dream that this video came out a few days ago.

[@Stuff_And_Things_0]

Its Great well done man!

[@brunoqoo5127]

so clever how you fit the fenders!

[@squeekywheel]

BTW, you do a really nice job on the builds. Enjoy the videos

[@ridethroughlifertl]

Sweet man

[@fernandofassoni2674]

Maravillosa!!!!!!

[@broccoli5408]

Yes. I would like to thank you for your efforts. Maybe you make me a street racer as your next project

[@user-ru9fz7gz7d]

Великолепно! Эта девушка должна гордиться таким парнем.

[@colster3]

Great series! Maybe a chopper next!

[@justincraws4897]

Preciosas tus bicis… me encantan. Yo también he contruido alguna bici en mi casa. Un abrazo des de Catalunya.

[@C345OFR]

Thanks for documenting and sharing this project, man. It shows those of us dreaming of frame building, the level of dedication and expertise required for a passion project. Marvellous work! And I know you said you already have ideas, but how about a do-it-all bike that you can travel with (like a Ritchey Break-Away or Surly Travellers Check, for example)?

[@SamirBiciAventure]

Thanks!!

[@HomeDistiller]

just a suggestion with the flux for a clean looking joint... only put flux where you want solder and thats it.. it means it will only flow where you want it and save LOTS of clean up

[@PithyBikes]

Sounds great. I’ll try that out. Is it still ok to do that without an in line fluxer? I don’t own one.

[@MFUKO4]

Wauw!!! Can I ask what saddle did you use and handlebar? Bike looks absolutely stunning

[@rtz549]

Eastwood company also has a clear coat for bare metal called Diamond Clear. I've used it and it holds up and hasn't yellowed outdoors from UV.

[@jgalvezluna]

Fantástico!

[@aserta]

I was looking at this video again, and saw you drill over at 35:46 and wanted to let you know that there's a new drill in town, that's a really good tool for your shop, specifically for this particular kind of thing, but also for other drill jobs in the vein. So you know how there's stepped(or Christmas bit) drills right? The bulky fat ones, well, now there's regular drills with tiny step drills at the tip. Perfect for doing the whole operation in one go (because the tip is, as with all step drills) auto-centering like a center drill bit is. Saw it recently on another channel, got one from the usual suspects(amazoodle in this case) and i'm quite pleased.

[@ponuryhutnik]

At first I thought it looks a bit strange with a normal big triangle frame and small wheels, but later I think it's quite interesting and looks strong and very neat. What's the weight(sorry if you said it in the video, I was forwarding 5 seconds constantly, not so much spare time for a 40min youtube video)?

[@PithyBikes]

I haven't weighed it yet. But from feel it's surprisingly heavier than I had expected. The added weight is from the gear hub and disc brakes. I'm really surprised how heavy disc brakes are!

[@tluanem]

👍😍

[@benc8386]

Looking at this again, maybe TT/SS routing would have been preferable for the rear brake line given where the caliper is. I have just made the opposite mistake... I put the braze-ons on the TT/SS, copying another bike, before noticing that my caliper is on the chainstay rather than the seatstay. Oh well, it'll be fine :)

[@PithyBikes]

Ah yes another person also mentioned this. I probably would have been smoother that way. But yeah it seems to be ok on the CS!

[@benc8386]

@@PithyBikes Let's hope mine is on the SS when it should be on the CS :) My frame is all ready to build up now. I think it's a milestone in every framebuilder's life when his wife trusts his welds enough to ride away on them.

[@amylaroschannel]

Keren👍👍👍

[@mr.gigitix]

👍👍👍👍😎

[@kickhub7606]

What's the need of holes in frame? Anyone knows the answer, please reply?

[@dR1Ugz]

if you get a blowout, a lot of times your can come back after everything has cooled down and weld the hole shut.

[@owengeary3948]

Love the fender stay bending tools! I imagine you made those?

[@PithyBikes]

Yes!

[@broccoli5408]

Who would think mud guards (fenders)were so demanding.

[@budact4837]

👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪

[@jeffdj1975]

Wow!! Can you make me one???? I’m serious.

[@alifharryazahraharyono3962]

berapa duit klau pesan freem ring 24 bahan dr stenlis yg seperti itu

[@HopelessRailmantic]

Very nice. So how does your wife like it? You didn't show her smile.

[@PithyBikes]

She loves it! She didn’t want to be on camera!

[@mstr514]

Want 🙏😅

[@squeekywheel]

You use way too much flux on the braze joint. Also, look up a neutral flame for acetylene. Not enough oxygen, making your flame too cold. Fix that and your brazing will be better.
