sounds sick.. but his welds are not pretty

alex.s · April 14th, 2012, 02:05 PM

no, they aren't perfect. :/ do you weld?

Hey this is the bike that you keep showing us on facebook!! subscribed! This could be a fantastic bike. Very innovative with the tank placement and the suspension linkage.

You don't have to be a welder to notice his welds look like crap!

Other than that the bike is awesome. Very innovative indeed.

The aluminum welds (swingarm) don't look half bad. The trellis frame welds could be cleaner though, but as long as the stick, who cares. This is probably not going to be the first bike he builds, and as he progresses, practice makes perfect. Who knows, maybe next he'll do a Ti trellis frame. Interesting suspension setup, but that Tail and 'tank' looks incredible. Can't wait to see paint on it.

I know it is not any easy task. I don't know how to weld. I may learn someday and I will probably go to a school to learn.

But that guys welds are not that good. That's all I am saying. I am sure he will get better with time just like all things that require time in order to be good at.

alex.s · May 2nd, 2012, 01:43 PM

Jono · May 2nd, 2012, 01:52 PM

Kevin2109 · May 3rd, 2012, 08:55 AM

Aww @alex.s is defending his man crush! How cute!!

Klondike1020 · May 3rd, 2012, 09:08 AM

That is an impressive build. I hope I can eventually step up my fabrication abilities to a similar level.

alex.s · May 3rd, 2012, 09:48 AM
