Hey guys, here's a picture of a bike i built a while ago. I made it from scratch. The frame was made with thick steel and weighs a tonne. So, what do you reckon about this frame?

Looks like you forgot to put a seat on it! Amateur mistake that.
Commuting on that you'll have good visibility over the traffic at-least.

the front rim is good, it's off my mountain bike, it's the only mechanically sound part of the bike.
the frame can't break, it's mdae of 35mm OD tubing with a 2mm wall thickness.
i got this from one person:
"Used bike from yardsale... $15
Welding Matterials... $25
Steel Piping... $35
Having to duck while riding your bicycle under an overpass... priceless"
i just love it.

Is falling over just a normal part of stopping?

Seat tube is just a bit too steep for my liking.
