Love your work! I built a 32”er a few years ago that I still ride. It’s 98” end to end. Similar jack chain set and swingarm design, with rear suspension. Seeing your vids inspires me to finish my frame jig and build some more. Keep up the good work guys!!! It’s awesome!!!

Friggin love it, Id put a small back rest for comfort

[@BK42Cycles]

Thanks Luis. Do you build bikes as well? Welcome to BK42 Channel:)

[@EnsVibes]

@@BK42Cycles I wish, im a fan of fabrication on my VWs but I had a stretched micargi bike long time ago and I was always wondering if a lowered version can be done, just like yours. Big wheels, super low, wide seat with a back rest for comfort and ride it along the beach. I'll take a few ideas of yours and will make mine. I love the white one with squared tubing, just an awesome design

[@BK42Cycles]

​@@EnsVibes That's awesome Luis, you will find a lot of different bikes and inspiration in this channel, as well if you have doubts about the fabrication process, just post a comment in the video description or on my Facebook group and the builder will always reply to you ;) Cheers

tive de vir a tua procura que andas desaparecido. o youtube nao avisa da nova chegada dos videos. está brutal essa bike. grande abraço amigo

That is Badass guys!! I built one stretch cruiser on a whim once. I really enjoyed the whole process. Since then, I have really wanted to do it regularly. I love to see that you guys are able to Nice stuff👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@BK42Cycles]

Right on! Do you have some pics of that bike to share with us? Thanks for stopping by, cheers

[@VictorPerez-vp9xu]

Nice work and thank you for sharing. What basic tools are needed to make custom bicycle frames?

[@BK42Cycles]

Thanks Victor, it depends on how you want to do it... I would say a MIG/TIG welder, table drill machine (maybe) and perhaps a tube bender - it all depends on your design

[@VictorPerez-vp9xu]

@@BK42Cycles thank you

[@shinymetal]

Where did you get or how did you make the rig that holds the frame while you piece it together?

[@BK42Cycles]

hey brother,, please try to chat with Mark ( he built this bike ) on Instagram: @redstar_designs Cheers

[@bitemyshinnymetalass1569]

Could you put a 4 stroke engine on the bike ?

[@BK42Cycles]

Hi mate, I guess that is possible, but I don't think Mr. Mark would do that with his bike :) Are you building custom bikes as well? thanks for watching and welcome to my channel

My thoughts exactly :) Thanks Rich

[@BuildBreakFix]

@@BK42Cycles whole build looks neat and is a shock valve worth dying Trying to ride lol! Looks like steering is very out of sink with the rest of the frame though? Was it a struggle to keep it riding straight or turns?

[@BK42Cycles]

Hi Rich, unfortunately I haven't ever used that bike. I'm only featuring Mak Fannin in the channel. I can't tell you for sure, but by experience, it is usually a bit heavier on the turns ;) Thanks man
