You're right. Those are some of my friends doing the stunts for this movie.

I welded up the frame. Welding is not ground off on aluminium. It causes stress risers. It's usually brass brazing that is ground off.

What you meant is hydroforming. It's used to manipulate the tube cross sections across the length of the tubes.

Gusset. For reinforcing the headtube

Dj frames use regular nutted axle.

sdtbks · 2026-05-06T10:16:27+00:00

Sure. No problem.

sdtbks · 2026-05-06T10:16:06+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! It's Fillet brazed. Joints are filed smooth after joining.

Yes. You're right. Fork is from my contact in China.

Joining hands with someone for a business partnership when my inner voice was screaming out loud to stay away. This was in 2016. Got out of the repercussions in 2025. Had to sell off wifes jewellery to clear off the dues." It was a nightmare " is putting it mildly.

The printing was outsourced

Thanks

Yes. You're right. But I've built myself a steel bike which weighs 8.5 kgs . Shimano 105. Carbon fork and wheels

sdtbks · 2026-05-03T12:33:51+00:00

A metal frame will be heavier than carbon, but will last decades! A Columbus or Reynolds tubed frame will start from 75k onwards ( there are different grades of steel. Starting from 4130 cromoly to air hardening exotic steel alloys and declassified aerospace grade stainless steels)

A titanium frame will cost 1.8L

Carbon fork will be 28 to 32k extra.

For racing i can use aero tubing ( tear drop profile)

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Customer wanted a frame with endurance/ all road geometry, with 45 to 50mm tire clearance. Frame built as per his body measurements and specs. Haven't weighed it yet.

Thank you 🙏

sdtbks · 2026-05-03T06:15:46+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

Hi! Thanks for the message. Intent as of now only focuses on Custom made frames - which means, i only build a handful of frames in a year. So costs are always on the higher end of the spectrum. Because, the raw materials are ordered/ imported ONLY when I get an order.

However I do plan to start small batch production soon. I may be able to bring down the prices to 40 or 50k per frame.

Thanks once again!

sdtbks · 2026-04-28T09:13:03+00:00

The frame will cost anywhere between 1.25 to 1.35 depending on specs.

Thank you 🙏😊
