Sorry for the 720p video, my YouTube is mostly all 4k.
Heres 3.5 evenings of work (15 to 20 ish hours). About 40 bucks. Something fun.
Introducing the "Citi". Version 2. Version 1 also made from stainless exhaust tubing haha.
Keep your hands dirty, build what makes you happy.
If you're interested – builds of a few bicycles from scratch and some restoration work is on my YouTube channel: Rodsoverbricks. Either way, Thanks for watching!
I made: a weird bike with a secret.

Ooh I watched the first one of these today. You’ve got some really cool ideas. Subbed this morning. This one with the bigger wheels is even cooler, but I really liked the first one’s Bicentennial man colors.
It’d be cool to see a setup with like 16 or 20 inch Brompton wheels with a derailleur and maybe a geared hub. It’d be a lot more work but I think this design actually has some chops and you could maybe refine it into something to sell! The exhaust pipe u shape is cool as hell. And if you wanted to ebike one, the frame would hold a shitload of battery!
I will say you need to get some grease though for assembly. Watching pedals go into cranks dry or quills go in ungreased hurts lol. Quills need like 30% less torque when the sliding surfaces are greased! 1lb tub of Valvoline automotive moly bearing grease and a $13 mini grease gun with a button trigger for it will last a decade!
I thought for sure it was gonna be a bong. Like you were gonna be able to take fat rips through the frame itself.
*’That’s less than’ is correct. No need for the text edit!
I love this. Haven’t seen something this unique while also looking very sleek. I could imagine this being built by some weird German brand and sold for $4000.
Awesome design, love the soft close.
I’m glad it wasn’t a pulse jet
U TALKIN TO ME? U TALKIN TO ME? I think u are talking to me….
