  • Part 2 of 2 in the Bike Build Series
    See Part 1: • Building a Wheel
    You've spent countless hours scouring the web, visiting shops, and dreaming about it in your sleep. You finally have all the components for your dream bike, now you have just got to put the pieces together. While it's not rocket science, it takes finesse, skill and practice to do it right. The thrill and excitement of taking that first ride is worth the effort.
    [Part 2 of 2 in the Bike Build Series. See part 1 here: vimeo.com/41089078]
    Music credits: (go buy this track!) Explosions in the Sky - Postcard from 1952
    [itunes.apple.com/us/album/take...]
    Thanks to Josh Gieni & Clément Tremblay for the build, Velo iBike for the late hours and PBR, and Vincent Malo for the camera work while I was enjoying my new ride.

    I love the simplicity of this video and how it captures the pride involved in crafting your dream bike. Such a good video!

    Bicycles are awesome. Building your own bike so that you are efficiently pedaling along on a truly functional, dialled and unique creation is really satisfying!

  • @RMMChicagoOfficial
    @RMMChicagoOfficial 10 років тому

    Nice build but wtf is up with the steerer tube cutting@ 0:45 seconds? The Park Tool cutting guide has a clamp area ment for a vise. This prevents damage to the steerer tube and you won't have to use a rag in the clamp...fyi

  • @gethigh961
    @gethigh961 10 років тому

    Whats better an aerospoke in the front or in the back

    • @Sticky1254
      @Sticky1254 10 років тому +3

      well if you're using it for its intended purpose, on the track, it's better in the front with a full disc in the back. Otherwise just skip the aerospoke and get a better wheel set that won't blow up if you hit a hole in the road.
