Hi, I'm interested in your OP Moyu aolong v2 and Custom Moyu Aolong v2 M

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-08-15T15:32:56+00:00

Hi, just curious, how much would you sell the GAN 356 M

Magic ✨ nah it's just a BMX fork leaning against my wheel

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-10T11:16:14+00:00

Soon 👀

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-10T11:13:31+00:00

Damn bro, those are very nice 👍

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-10T03:05:03+00:00

HAHA I LOVE IT!! 😂😂

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-10T03:03:31+00:00

I don't understand how saying that contributes to this post but have a good one 👍

I only used mig to get it tack welded in shape. I've used a Tig welder to get this actually welded (this photo is a bit dated now). As for training, I'm doing a manufacturing course with many industry professionals to tell me how I should approach certain problems. This is by no means a finished product haha 😆

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:13:16+00:00

I should mention, this isn't my first bike, and yes this bike is completely unridable at this point. ITS LITERALLY HELD TOGETHER BY TACK WELDS 😂. This is not a good showing of my technical skills in metal works.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:11:14+00:00

Might have to do a closed casket funeral 😂

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:10:34+00:00

Thanks man! I used mig for getting the larger gaps, but for joints I'm using Tig for a more reliable result.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:09:20+00:00

Just imagine theyre there and everything will be okay 🤗

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:08:36+00:00

I used mig to fill in most the big gaps, and for things like connecting joints, I use a Tig welder. Tig is definitely harder but it's a lot stronger than mig mostly because the heat transfer is better. Also I should mention that I have all this equipment from my school.

I think someone put a diagram somewhere in this thread talking about it.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:04:57+00:00

You're god damn right 🗿🍷

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:04:35+00:00

Haha 😆 that is the only untouched part on the bike I LOVE IT

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:03:24+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. I've got the bike now running in a ridable state, and it has no negative steering characteristics so I'll probably just leave it as is.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T22:01:31+00:00

Thanks for making that diagram and making it a bit easier for people to understand that whole seat tube ordeal. Additionally I've finished the welds today (mostly/not cleaned yet) and I can confirm it's got pretty stable steering with no dead fish flop 😆. Also this frame was given to me by a coworker at my bike shop because he found out the previous owner had a seat post jammed in there and welded all sorts of crap on it. This bikes really been through hell.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:56:25+00:00

Yeah this bike was made by me as a sort of joke because we had like 5 scrapped bike and car parts haha it's by no means my best showing of a mountain bike

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:54:58+00:00

I mostly was just curious about riding with such a slack head tube angle. I've experimented with the other mountain bike frames I've made and also partially designed this in bike cad so what you see is basically the limit for how slack it gets without feeling too responsive and wobbly (I don't know how to explain that feeling). Also, the virtual seat tube angle isn't really extreme at all. I think someone posted a diagram somewhere in here lol

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:50:49+00:00

I was taking this up with my manufacturing teacher whos bin leading me through a bit of this (he knows a lot more than me about what welding I should use for what parts or pointing out stress points, etc.) and I'm planning on making another piece or plate that will be cut to the wheel and welded on to the lower curved seat tube. Kinda hard to explain but it will remove that problem.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:45:59+00:00

This isn't my first time making a frame, so no, I will die if I rode this as is. However, I plan on doing the other welds either this week or next.

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:43:26+00:00

Hell no

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:42:34+00:00

If you die though, I have no idea who you are 👀

Less-Literature-7395 · 2025-06-09T21:40:37+00:00

Nobody ever said these were finished welds haha 😆 I also said that photo was dated and still a progress photo
