My wild bike I'm building!

OK, so my bike isn't a fixie or a single speed ( technically it's a twin speed ).
It's not based on a classic or vintage frame ( but I do own some that are )

You can throw me out of your forum if you think I deserve it, BUT, I would like you to tell me what you think of my crazy bike.

I like to be different. I like to be center of attention even though I'm generally shy.

I am building this to see if I can, and I get a laugh from riding it already ( even though it's not finished )

I need to finish the rear drop outs and I have a shed load of grinding and polishing to do.

So, photo's of the build so far,

Well done, accurate title is accurate.

Think your "crazy" bike is completely jackass, but nonetheless an exiting project and a great addition to the forum. best of luck ;)

Awesome use of circles is it stainless steel

316 stainless steel. If I can be bothered, it will polish up and shine forever!

excellent

I am having trouble finding a front wheel to match the rear. I want one with the CNC machined brake surface.

Brooks saddle,
Sturney Archer twin speed coaster brake,
Wooden handle bar ( rose wood and beech inpotred from Poland )
Espresso 700 wheels ( if I can find one for the front )
Sturney Archer crank.

oh yeah, and a frame made from 4" stainless steel hoops and 19mm tube for lateral stability. ( wish I didn't need these, spoils the look, but was unrideable without )

How have Cervélo not thought of this?!

ha ha, might be slightly on the heavy side for them!!

Incredible looking bike!

needs trispok - ultimate slave

"Needs trispok - ultimate slave."

Ultimate slave??? Easy now Sunshine... Just saying.

Mad ting

Wow!!

Thanks for the comments, I'm pleasantly surprised by how positive they are! I was half expecting "what are you doing that for" and " it will ride shit" kind of comments, so thank you.
Anyway, I've weighed the frame today, 7.8Kg. Not as bad as I was expecting. Once I've finished grinding the welds down, might make 7.79Kg :-)

Are you riding it already? As in, have you found out how it feels?

I imagine it to be quite flexy and squishy.

I've done about 10 miles as it is in the top picture. When I first tried it I hadn't fitted the 19mm tubes between the crank, head and seat post. It was fine in a straight line, but when I did a U turn in the street it got a bit flexi! Now it rides like my Carlton that I used for the geometry, only heavier.
The circles do add to the strength, so they are not just cosmetic.

I've got another idea for my next bike..........:-)

Great stuff, totally insane

^This!

Apologise if I've come across negative. This bike is completely bonkers, but I love it.

I think the strength comes from the filled in gaps between the circles.

Interesting ride.

^ yes, each gap filler was laser cut and TIG welded in. Took ages!

Awesome project.. :-) What about a "hooped out" front wheel?

As in that 3 loop suspension wheel thing?
I love the idea of them and the engineering is excellent, don't think they would work with a coaster brake though?
