yo sir im new bout bikes just wanna ask since i got a bike with the same kinda wheels so skinyy so i doubt its strength haha i mean its so skinny so my question is can it support my weight of 220 lbs and if so should i max it out by its recommended psi(60 to 85)?? pls respond sorry being a noob on bikes

[gdesmond76]

@KH1523 If you have "Road Tires" then the max air pressure should be around 100 to 110 psi. For your weight, I would inflate them to around 95 to 100 and higher if you lose weight( below 180 lbs) make sure you have a portable air pump on the bike as well as a spare tube and tire removal kit, as you will have a flat( no question of if, only when, that is part of riding). hope this helps.

Nice build. Is that a leader 715r frame?

[gdesmond76]

@piccalocb , no this is not a leader frame. It is a schwinn prelude frame. it was a complete bike that I bought from Target in 2007. I rode about 2100 miles on it and then stripped it down to just the frame and rebuilt it as you see in the video. It went from a $300 bike to around a $2500 bike.

[gdesmond76]

@faetofagitosou Yes, the automotive paint is great! Keep in mind, it is professional automotive paint, with primer specifically made for aluminum. (this is not rattle can paint) This paint job was sprayed using airgun by a professional automobile painter, masked and stenciled by yours truly. hope this helps.

[faetofagitosou]

@gdesmond76 how is the automotive paint.....i mean is good for an aluminioum bike?strong enough?

[gdesmond76]

@dennovoa , all of the logos, I made myself on computer. I then had FedEx Office make vinyl lettering from the logos I sent them, but instead of using the letters, I removed the letters and used the vinyl around the letters as a stencil. Then the bike was painted using automotive paint in many stages, having to tape off entire frame for each color added. There are no stickers on this bike, it is all paint.

@MrGBE1991 , thanks

@openedeyedbeast123 , don't know, just a song that was on youtube to add to the video.

[gdesmond76]

@jbaillie , fit is really good, I am able to adjust the slide on the saddle, the height and offset of the post and also the angle of the bar clamp.

@baghdadx , thanks a lot.
