  • how much did all that cost

    like minus the frame

  • to strip: about 2hours (handmade)

    to paint: about 40 minutes

  • beautiful job( in fact it is the best video on a single speed ) although the video seems to need more detail like how did you put tension on your chain without tensioner? can you use a spacer with your new headset? is it possible to use any headset that fits the size? and what about the seat post? and what about the front brake i only use rear brake seems to be the safer one...if you could answer some of my questions i would really appreciate it ..thank you.

  • thank you for compliments...

    can you use a spacer with your new headset?

    > it's a traditional headset (threaded)

    can you use a spacer with your new headset?

    > it's not indispensable

    what about the seat post?

    > I keep the original

    what about the front brake...

    > I prefer to brake with front-brake because it's more effective and... back wheel is fixed (it's a brake too... more or less)

    keep pedaling!

  • how did you strip the paint? and did you just use regular spray paint, because i heard that chips off very easily.

    Im aobut to start building a bike, but im not sure where i can findt all the parts and tools i need, yet.

    thanks for the vid though, this will help.

  • I used abrasive paper to strip the paint and regular spray paint (I know a professional painter is better... but it's expensive too)

    good luck for your project ;-)

    keep pedaling!
