Wow!
PS needs a lefty 😉
That is bloody awesome. Can't wait to see 7th with wheels on
Thanks 🙂 Wheels next!
PS needs a lefty
I have thought about it but would need to be a righty to match the rear end 😉
Wow. That is just a little bit cool.
Can't wait to see the finished thing.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
What's the plan with the front brake?
Thanks guys 🙂
No plan for a front brake at this stage. She's got really good control with just a back brake on her balance bike. Might look to add one in the future if it's needed.
And now Daddy, please, make it PINK! xD
Great Job!
Yep, she wants it pink 🙄
That's freakin' awesome! If only there was a way to stop kids growing 😆
Looks awesome! Love the single sided rear triangle. Looks like something Hope would build.
I think it could looks pretty good with pink anodized lugs 😛

I did get a little inspiration (also Robotbikes & Raleigh)

Fantastic stuff Steve!
Utterly fabulous!
Thanks chaps 😀
Getting a bit closer to finishing now. Just had a pic from Ben @ Kinetics who's built the back wheel for me 😀

I'm dead impressed with your single-sided hub setup, by the way - very ingenious 😉
Thanks Ben. Had a bit of help with the idea from some clever chaps on here 😉
Looks great though how do you tension the chain?

Slotted rear drop-out. Wheel &

Cool
Wheel arrived, had to do a quick fit...
Thanks to Ben for a superb job on the build 😀

Looks awesome, wish I had your skills!
That looks fantastic 😀
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Still needs a lefty though (can't be a righty cos otherwise it'd just turn in circles all the time).

Dood. Nothing more to say but simply, dood.
That is boss.
Totally awesome!
When does it get painted pink / get ridden?
That is lovely, some proper engineering there!
Reminds me of this bike from Dear Susan.

That is boss.
When does it get painted pink / get ridden?
It'll be black/purple now and hoping to get welded up this week, painted next week, ridden the following weekend...all being well 😀
That ^ makes me think of doing a righty even more... 😈

Do it! As one of the CTBM sticker say, "Keep Cycling Weird"!
This is awsum!!!! Again, wish i had your skills.
When are you starting taking orders? My son would love one of these with 20" wheels.
This is awsum!!!! Again, wish i had your skills.
Thank you 🙂
Don't think I'll be taking orders...it's taken too long to make this one 😳
Kudos! That's a work of art! I wish my frames looked half as good!
Looks excellent.
Can I ask a favour? Could you repost the picture of the rear hub as they're now showing as "photo not found"?

What a fantastic project! The bike is certainly screaming for righty. Needs to be done.
When will you be building one for yourself?
Brilliant! Thank you.
When will you be building one for yourself?
Now there's an idea..
Probably need to do a 20" for when she outgrows this one 🙂
Looks ace :D.
Did you consider belt drive to remove the brake chain oil contamination possibility?
Did you consider belt drive to remove the brake chain oil contamination possibility?
I did consider it but decided against it. I can look at putting some sort of guard/shield between brake & chain if it looks like I'll need one 🙂
Speedy turn-around with the welding 😀

May have popped to the powder coaters to collect the frame
Brilliant, what a great thread and build. I can't wait to see the painted finished product (and a photo of the first ride).
Bash ring done:

Thanks Bruce 🙂
Awesome work.
As no off the shelf bike is going to compare to this now you'll have to get started on the next size up ready for when she grows out of this one.
The only thing better than that would be the same bike with a LEFTY fitted!
Awesome work.
That is a hell of a finished product.
That looks flipping great!
Very very impressive, great use of skills!
I preferred the raw, unpainted look personally, but I'm guessing your daughter does not!
That
Is
Awesome

Thanks all for the kind words 😳
I too preferred the raw but she wanted pink/purple/red..
Looks great.
Hows the righty coming along 😉 ?
Also, what finish is it? Anodized?
Been a while but finally got her out on it this weekend 🙂
We've been moving house and lots of other stuff going on so time has been limited but with the lovely BH weather we actually had some time to take her out.
About 20 mins of frustration (from her) but within an hour she was off without any help. Super-proud dad moment.
I think she enjoyed it:

Good work 🙂
Fantastic
