Not because the bike becomes perfect.
But because it becomes personal.
Take the first step ā
They never start because it feels too complicated.
Thatās why I built the online framebuilding course the way I did:
Step by step.
Small groups.
Real guidance.
Most people who join have never held a torch before.
And yet, a few months later, theyāre riding something they built with their own hands.
The next group opens soon.
Take the first step ā
But honestly, most people in my course begin as complete beginners.
Many have never worked with a torch before.
Some are engineers.
Some are doctors.
Some work office jobs.
Some simply love bicycles and want to build something with their own hands for once.
And step by step, they learn how to design, braze, align, and finish their own steel frame.
Thatās the part I love most.
Watching somebody go from:
āI donāt think I can do thisā¦ā
to riding a bicycle they built themselves.
The next online framebuilding group opens soon.
Take the first step ā
Heās an architect.
Used to planning, coordinating, making decisions.
In the workshop, that changed.
He started from zero.
Asked questions.
Learned step by step.
Not to build the perfect bike.
But to understand it.
Material. Process.
How something comes together.
ā
Today, he rides that bike every day.
And every ride brings him back to the
week he built it.
ā
If youāve ever thought about building your own frame:
Youāll find the full story and more about the course ā link in bio.
#framebuilding
#custombike
#bikebuilder
#steelbike
#handmadebike
But never actually started.
Not because you canātā¦
But because it feels too big.
So hereās the first step:
Learn how to braze two tubes together ā clean, strong, properly.
Once you can do that, everything else becomes possible.
Especially when you work on bikes every day
and still canāt find one that really fits.
For Hanno, it took seven years.
________________________________
Seven years between
āIāll build my own frame somedayā
and
š āNow is the time.ā
________________________________
Hanno is 23.
Trained as a bike mechanic.
Now studying product design.
He tested countless bikes.
But none of them really worked:
geometry felt off
seat angle didnāt fit
toe overlapā¦ always there
________________________________
So he built his own.
First as a modified MTB.
Then refined it for four years.
Until he realized:
š You canāt fix a bad frame with better components.
________________________________
So he started from scratch.
Designed his own geometry.
Built his own frame.
________________________________
Now?
š It finally fits.
________________________________
Not just a bike.
A step toward what he wants to do long-term.
________________________________
At some point, it shifts.
From
āSomedayā
to
š Now is the time.

He built it.
It started with a borrowed mountain bike from his brother. After just
a few kilometers he noticed something different about the ride.
The bike felt alive.
It was a steel frame.
Back home he started researching steel bikes and eventually discovered
Big Forest Frameworks.
Not long after, Henning joined the framebuilding course in Potsdam and
built this steel hardtail for riding the forest roads and trails of the Vogtland and Erzgebirge.
Simple. Functional. Built for real riding.
2.4" tires.
A 38T chainring.
Perfect for long days in the Mittelgebirge.
But the most special part isnāt a technical detail.
Itās the feeling of riding a bike
where you know every tube and every joint.
Because you built it
with your own hands.
________________________________
What would you build?
A steel gravel bike?
A fast road bike?
Or a hardtail like Henningās? š²

Jimi came because he wanted to build a frame.
For years the idea had been in the back of his mind.
Not buying a bike.
Not ordering one.
Building one.
With his own two hands. There was another reason too.
Jimiās father was a welder.
Working with metal, shaping it, joining it togetherā¦
that was the world he grew up around.
So starting with raw stainless steel tubes and a Brenner felt strangely familiar.
Cutting.
Mitering.
Heating the joints.
Watching the silver flow into the connections.
Slowly the frame began to take shape.
At some point another idea appeared.
If youāre building your own frameā¦
why not make it a travel bike?
So Jimi added S&S couplings.
Two small connectors that allow the frame to be separated and packed into a suitcase.
A gravel bike that can go almost anywhere.
But the real story isnāt about couplings.
Or stainless steel.
Because building a frame is never just about building a frame.
Itās about creating something real in a world that often feels purely digital.
Taking raw materialā¦
ā¦and turning it into something meaningful with your own two hands.
And every time Jimi rides this bike, he knows exactly where it came from.
He built it himself.

Would you build your own frame?

Rahmenbau bei Big Forest Frameworks
āEinen Rahmen selbst bauen? Niemals!ā ā dachte ich. Bis Robert von sagte: āProbier mal, das kannst du.ā Und plƶtzlich hielt ich den Lƶtbrenner in der Hand.
FĆ¼nf Tage, Edelstahlrohre, zwei linke HƤnde (angeblich š) und ganz viel Respekt vor dem Material: In Potsdam wurde aus einer Idee RealitƤt. Von der ersten Geometrie-Entscheidung Ć¼ber Feilen, Bohren und Lƶten bis zum Moment, in dem aus einzelnen Rohren tatsƤchlich ein Rahmen wurde. Kein Performance-Monster um jeden Preis, sondern ein vielseitiges Gravel Bike: Stahl (bzw. Edelstahl), viel Reifenfreiheit, interne ZĆ¼ge, UDH-Ausfallenden ā und vor allem ganz viel Persƶnlichkeit.
Der Kurs war keine Anleitung zum Nachmachen, sondern eine Reise durchs Handwerk: Lƶtlampenfieber, kleine Dramen, groĆe Lernkurven und am Ende ein RAW-Rahmen, auf den ich unendlich stolz bin. Und fast noch wichtiger: eine beinahe familiƤre Zeit in der Werkstatt mit Robert, Konrad, Eskil und den anderen Rahmenbau-Nerds.
š Teil I erzƤhlt vom Traum vom eigenen Rahmen, den ersten Entscheidungen und den ersten Tagen an der Feile. Die Geschichte ist damit noch lange nicht zu Ende.

Mountain biking, touring, bikepacking all over the world.
Heās owned and built more than 100 bikes.
This year, he finally built his own frame.
He came into our 5 Day Frame Building Course with a clear idea of what he wanted to build and then ride.
A hardtail designed for steep, technical terrain.
Comfortable enough for multi-day bikepacking.
Built to run 29ā or 27.5ā in the rear.
He had no prior metalworking experience.
Just curiosity, confidence, and a willingness to jump in.
Watching an idea turn into a real frame is always special. Seeing it painted, built up, and riddenā¦ even more so.
After his first rides on local forest trails and along the fjords, he wrote:
āHonestly, the bike is amazing.
The most capable hardtail Iāve ever ridden.ā
And when I asked if heād ever build another frame?
Yes.
Thatās how new chapters begin.
