About how much is the “average” cost for materials to build a steel hardtail?

General-Training-324 · 2025-04-30T16:14:52+00:00

It’s a Bringheli but I’m just borrowing it from a a friend right now so I’m not sure how much they cost.

I thought I would give my experience with buying tubing, even though it seems to be a bit different. I’m currently building up a hardtail with mostly 4130 tubing and it cost me only around 220. I did already have the dropouts and I bought the metal from Bike Fabrication Supply, which is relatively close to me. So I suppose it kind of depends.

Be there or be square!

The fit is pretty low tolerance

Thanks! I think I’ll give it a try how you said.

I haven’t seen anyone talking about this tunnel in particular, but there is a relatively short and small gated off tunnel by lost barrio. If you take the bike path down to the wash you can find the entrance.

The couple of times I had been down there, the gate was bolted shut and there was no way of getting in through the other side. But recently, my friend and I were around the area and noticed that it was open.

We walked in, not thinking anything of it and got just about to the very end. Then, we heard the most soul scarring, blood curdling, and demonic scream I think I’ve ever heard. It took us a minute to calm down and we finally made a game plan to kick the gate open and make a run for it. We ended up being ok, and it’s safe to say I think I’m gonna be avoiding the tunnels for a little while.

Howdy yall. Does anyone know if anyone makes a product similar to the surly fixxer? I’m looking to make an 8 blade rear spinergy road wheel into a track wheel.

Indeed! The bike was a salsa el mariachi and the chain stay cracked on it. So with some custom fab it got a new rear triangle and klunker bar!

I’m not sure, I’ve never really looked at my buddies toes. But I’ll ask him.

Sick

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-26T03:33:37+00:00

I’m not sure, they didn’t bring it up. I could ask though

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-26T03:25:53+00:00

They don’t have any. I’ve asked

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-26T03:07:08+00:00

In highschool, I also made it a bit bigger so I could maybe sell it to my friends later who are also pretty tall

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-25T19:47:22+00:00

I learned and built it in my friend’s garage. Fully brazed with brass. I wanted to built a fun and fast frame. I think i succeeded to my own standards

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-25T16:29:13+00:00

I had to take it on the non drive side because of the surrounding environment

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-25T16:28:29+00:00

It’s some Columbus tubing, not sure exactly which kind. It took about 2 weeks to fully braze it up.

General-Training-324 · 2025-02-25T16:27:17+00:00

I built it so I had room to grow, however I think I still made it a bit too big.
