:scared: I spend already 20 euros for the paint and stickers and the price for the tube that i used in the main frame is about 8e/meter + the other materials..
And should you get payed from the work too, it took quite some time to make that front end and adjustable pedals etc.
In this area the welding and assembly will cost about 40-50eur/hour if you take it in the workshop.

If somebody will do it for 50eur, i personally would by one for me!;)

Your rig is awesome, I never said it looks cheap.
I will only say that your rig looks better than some 1000 euro rigs.
If you started making these - you should make them from at least 300 euros.
:cheers:

And as for the price, sorry - I don't know how the prices are in your country. The rig me and my stepfather made was in all - 130 euros.
We had a 6 meter 5x3 steel bar laying around (and I doubt it would have costed more than 30 euros), all I had to buy was paint (1 can of paint 6euros + 1 can of spray paint 3 euros), 5mm 55cm/15cm for wheel mount, 5mm 35cm/35cm for pedals and 3mm 85mm/110mm for the shifter mount - which all costed me 10 euros.
In total I spent only 20 euros for the material, 80 for the seat and 30 for the seat covers.

Finished project is in my sig. :cheers:

That 5x3 costs about 30e/6m.. so the total material costs for your rig is about 50eur just like you said.. but if you make them for sale you have to charge much more, otherwise you´re doing it for free.

Your rig looks nice 👍 ..and i believe it´s quite fast to build too because of the square tube and 90 degree joints.

Yeah, I know. I made a mistake with my post. I was reffering to the actual material cost and not the craftsmanship involved - of course you have to make profit.
Thanks for the 👍 and yeah - it was a fast build (3 days).
