I hope you’ve reached out to Paul and told him what you’ve done. He’s a pioneer and master craftsman, a class act and great person who’s currently going through some real challenges with his life. You’ve got a real treasure and it’s nice that you’ve made it shine again on the trail where it belongs. 🙂
That is true! The restoration of this bike is great and it’s nice to bring old bikes to new life. The scenery on the ride is awesome! Keep on going and thanks for this video 👍😘
Not to detract from the build, because that’s what we’re here for…but the ASMR aspect of your videos is just as appealing to me personally…HOWEVER, the music after the build is always SO ON POINT, and I thought worth mentioning. Please keep finding bikes with life left in them and sharing your perspective on how they should continue to live. Thank you.
I don't recall ever seeing you mention where you live, but it must be pretty awesome to be able to ride out to a trail with scenery like that! I love the early mountain bikes. I've never had anything high end like that, or a Ritchey, but I do have an 84 Mongoose ATB that I hit the trails with, and I also have a white 90's Mongoose Switchback, and a hot pink GT Tequesta waiting for there chance to be restored... Love your videos... I actually just learned a trick to v-brakes from watching this one that I hadn't caught before... Backing the barrel adjusters all the way out when connecting the cable... Then turning it back in. I'll be doing that on my next project. Thanks!
I like the way you used mostly parts. I love where you were riding it. I live in south Alabama. It flat here. I live in the wrong place. Also I love your work. Thanks
"The Purple People Eater" is a song that was written and performed by Sheb Wooley, which reached No. 1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958 in the US and Canada. I guess he really liked that song.
Beautiful job on the build man!!! Paul Brodie is still kicking on his youtube channel and you can learn how to make a frame like that among many other things.
I have an early 2000s steel frame Brodie that languished in storage for years as it just wasn't as "fun" or capable as my newer bikes. Out of curiosity I converted it to a single speed setup last year and its an absolute blast to ride once more! Looks like someone else may have had the same idea.
I've watched Paul's UA-cam channel for a while now and it's almost a little but surreal seeing one of his frames pop up here, like worlds colliding. It's also a funny contrast in styles too, because he's not very precious about things. If there's a messed up tube in a frame he'll be getting the torch out to melt the old one off and braze a new one on.
Brodie is oldie, but goldie! ;) Beautiful build and video, I have only two observations. It seems to me that the headset bowls could be put in reverse, then the Chris King lettering wouldn't be upside down (1). And then, next time for us non US folks, if you could switch the scale to kilograms as well just for a moment when weighing so we don't have to recalculate (2). Thanks a lot and happy biking. Cheers from Czechia! :)
Super impressive. My 90s Schauff hurricane xt was 10.5kg in stock form with full xt, indy xc and crossmax ceramic wheelset. So thus being even lighter by 600grams is mighty impressive.
Nice XT parts. The older ones are getting very hard to find and when one does locate some the asking price these days has gone stupid. You are so lucky to have the bike collective nearby where you can pick up stuff. 😊
Cool bike and awesome build. I especially love those wheels with that different spoke pattern. I was going to link to the song but I see someone has already done it. Keep up the great work!
Love that you are restoring a Brodie!!! I have one just waiting for the full treatment!! Your King headset cups are upside down. From my experience these cups are not identical and may have sealing issues. Just an FYI. :)
Love this build, maybe my favorite yet. I got a Barracuda A2V frame from the Salt Lake Bike Collective that's waiting to get built in a very similar way. Even has a lil dent that will make me feel less bad when I dent it again.
I had that same exact bike in all purple. It was a XT/XTR build with gold cup Rockshoxs. Loved that bike, I gave the frame to one of my buddies after using it a few years. Wonder if he still has it.
Another great video about another fantastic bike. Lovely resto-mod with solid component's on an awsome steel frame. And the Flight is the perfect saddle.🤩🤙 Just like he would have built it today?
It's got one eye and one horn. It flys and eats people 😂 it looks like a flying purple people eater to me 😂 now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day
Doesn't seem to be much info online about this bike? I know of the Climbmax and Bromax frames by Paul Brodie but never seen or heard of this before. Maybe you could reach out to him and even do a video with him talking about this bike? Great build by the way, especially love the original 98 SID fork 😎
Beautiful build - makes me want to go find something similar and do that. But my wife has me on a plan where if I bring in a new bike, one has to leave! 😑 What's the song as you are riding? It fit the video very well!
Way cool. Amazing find.. Hooded dropouts....awesome. Love the original Rolf wheels! My favorite wheels ever. Vintage class ripper. I'd ride that to Skinwalker Ranch with a tent and back.. Please don't stop making videos and supporting 501C3 non profits. Inspiration... passion. Too cool Send that bike to Sam Pilgrim for proper testing.. jk . Love to see a Brew racing frame restored like this. How did you get those tires in such great condition? Geax / Wild Gripper colour with no dry rot...Thanks for sharing. We wish you would use V- brake noodle boots and cable doughnuts.. maybe use some old road bike bar tape on the chain stay. An old Soma B Side with 650b rim brake wheels...Poor people can have a reason to be bike snobs again 😅
'Flying purple people eater' was a song from the 70's I remember hearing it on Dr. Demento all the time. guess he named it 'II' because the song was the first one.
Hello! Does Brodie comes in Aluminum frame? I just bought one without any label on the frame but it looks similar to this bike (just different materials).
I hope you’ve reached out to Paul and told him what you’ve done. He’s a pioneer and master craftsman, a class act and great person who’s currently going through some real challenges with his life. You’ve got a real treasure and it’s nice that you’ve made it shine again on the trail where it belongs. 🙂
Seconding this! And I'll add that the odds are good that Paul has some photos of that bike's early life, or at least bikes of the same model.
Hit him up he has a channel here. You can watch the master at work.
Part of me is hoping he’ll notice the video. I would love to collaborate with him. I’m a super fan of his work and his UA-cam channel. 🙌
@@oldshovel I'll let him know, he's a good friend of mine!
Paul Brodie is such an amazing person. And he is still making videos. Awesome bike!
That is true! The restoration of this bike is great and it’s nice to bring old bikes to new life. The scenery on the ride is awesome! Keep on going and thanks for this video 👍😘
Paul is awesome. I wish he was my next door neighbor.
9.8 kg is insanely light for a steel MTB.
Your method of setting up V-brakes is geniusly easy.
Not to detract from the build, because that’s what we’re here for…but the ASMR aspect of your videos is just as appealing to me personally…HOWEVER, the music after the build is always SO ON POINT, and I thought worth mentioning. Please keep finding bikes with life left in them and sharing your perspective on how they should continue to live. Thank you.
The beauty in the simplicity of your rebuild is so fantastic, thanks for sharing, Rob!
Old shovel you inspire me to do old bikes over like you do thanks for the encouragement
A Brodie lightweight frame is one of the unicorns i chase.
I hear you.
@@oldshovel Yours is my size. And i don´t care for dings.😇😇
I sure appreciate that you included the baby/robin blue fork for this build, paid some homage to Mr. Brodie and a legendary colour in his line up ❤
I can’t believe I never knew that trick with the brakes!! This has changed my life!! 😂 14:40 Genius!!
Awesome. Happy to pass that on.
That's a keeper.

I think somewhere in the Salt Lake City area judging by a previous video
I did live in Bountiful but recently moved to Pleasant View. The riding here is on a trail through my new neighborhood.
Love all the parts in the build except that shifter. That XT derailleur and Crank looked great together.
I like the way you used mostly parts. I love where you were riding it. I live in south Alabama. It flat here. I live in the wrong place. Also I love your work. Thanks
What a gem❤ and NO rust🤗
Gen. 1 XT V brakes and Suntour thumbshifters still rock🚀🚀🚀
"The Purple People Eater" is a song that was written and performed by Sheb Wooley, which reached No. 1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958 in the US and Canada. I guess he really liked that song.
I love your videos. They bring me peace and I learn a lot about bikes. You make me want to try to rejuvenate my old ladies! Thank you
Thats one sweet ride, I missed my old school v-brake mtbs🥲😌
3:54…. The dropper post inspiration is discovered. Way to go Rob!
Every bike has a story. Thanks for this chapter in the story.
Always a good sign when the seat post just drops like that during disassembly.
Truth!
something very special about steel hardtail mountain bikes👍🤙😍
Beautiful job on the build man!!! Paul Brodie is still kicking on his youtube channel and you can learn how to make a frame like that among many other things.
I love Paul’s channel. One of my favorite.
That stunning vista of the mountains tho...
Great bike build as well. So simple, yet snappy. 👍
Chris King 7075 aluminum headsets🤘🤘. I'm still using one that I bought in 2011; it's Royal Navy blue 🤘🤘
I have an early 2000s steel frame Brodie that languished in storage for years as it just wasn't as "fun" or capable as my newer bikes. Out of curiosity I converted it to a single speed setup last year and its an absolute blast to ride once more! Looks like someone else may have had the same idea.

Totally! I love Paul’s practical attitude. I also totally love his shop and all his knowledge. I would love to just hang out with him in his shop.
@@oldshovel I hope it happens and makes it into a video!
Very nice restauration, a bike to keep
a Brodie ! great idea. Loved TheSouvereign in the 90s. and Paul Brodie is an amazing guy and amazing frame-andBike-and Parts-wizard :-)
Total wizard. 🙌
Such a beautiful place to ride. Those mountains 😮
Great build! great project bike!
So happy to see these old dream bikes of my riding youth(prime) get a second life. Makes me smile and feel sad at the same time.
Love this build, I had the same Rolf wheels on my Trek 8500 in 97. I realise this is late but the ChrisKing headset cups were on upside down 🙂
Beautiful build, Rob! And you've got some new scenery and some cool trails to explore. Good for you! Thanks
Gead Blades! Wow. That brings me back.
what a beautfiul location to ride a bike and live - you are blessed 🙂
Beautiful build! I love all that simplicity!
Flying purple people eater may be from the Beatles Yellow Submarine cartoon? Lovely build ❤
Awesome build old shovel

@cony Yes, correct. I also second measurements should be displayed as well in kilograms.
Love the build and love the beautiful place you rode awesome scenery

What a great build. I LOVE a lightweight project. Back in 2013 I designed and built the worlds lightest pro sized BMX cruiser. Lot's of titanium!
Flying Purple People Eater has got to be a reference to how you're gonna eat up the competition on the trails on this superlight bike!
That’s my hood, I didn’t know that trails existed. Nice video
With scenery around you like that, I can't imagine how you get any work done.
Love that you are restoring a Brodie!!! I have one just waiting for the full treatment!!
Your King headset cups are upside down. From my experience these cups are not identical and may have sealing issues. Just an FYI. :)
Oh, you did a video... LOL
😁
I love this build ! I only have 2 Brodies and only one is steel. amazing frames
Nice. And that's with front shock. My restored blue specialized rockjumper sworks is also around that weight, but with rigid fork.
That's oncredible! 10sp build with a vintage suspension fork (I don't think it's very light) - and a total weight (with pedals!) under 10kg - WOW!
The vintage Sid forks were super light, I think 2.6-2.8lbs. The fork actually helped a lot on this one.
One of my favourite videos! Well done. Class bike
That's a sweet bike! It's ironic for me that you scored this, I have been vegging on his vides lately. He's a class act, just like you!
Great color!
Love this build, maybe my favorite yet. I got a Barracuda A2V frame from the Salt Lake Bike Collective that's waiting to get built in a very similar way. Even has a lil dent that will make me feel less bad when I dent it again.

Your videos never get old. Keep it up!
This is the best build you’ve done.
Love the green sidewall tires... I cant seem to find that stuff anymore.
I don't know how but all your bikes are awesome
Great job and perfect choice of tires...
please make a gravel bike build ASMR + CHILL LOFI inspired video that's long enough for early morning coffee.
Another awesome build! Thank you for sharing.
It looks beautiful where you live!
Wow very light bike with the shocks!
Amazing bike, amazing job! 👏👏👏👏👌
Another great video about another fantastic bike.
Lovely resto-mod with solid component's on an awsome steel frame.
And the Flight is the perfect saddle.🤩🤙
Just like he would have built it today?
Súper-Cool Green-Walls! 💚
Love the build and video! My OCD kicked in when I saw you putting those headset cups upside down though. LOL ;-)
hapiness ! you back !!!
Thats slightly lighter than my aluminum road bike from 2010, impressive
Very nice bike.
Nice that you restored a Brodie!
Was there a reason you reversed the headset cups?
Just rebuilt my 1999 Kona Explosif love the 90s steely mtbs
Brodie is my hero
Beautiful!!
Love this build! Seems like this one was personal too you
Fascinant .... chaque fois ... merci
AWESOME! 21.5 lbs with pedals
That's a monster headset cup tool 🤩😎
Oooh... That's pretty!
Nice job! Can I ask what thumbshifter you used for this build?
It's got one eye and one horn. It flys and eats people 😂 it looks like a flying purple people eater to me 😂 now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day
Great build & video. The upside down headset cups are wrecking me though!
😁😜
Great video.
What were the original pair of brakes that the bike came with, they seemed nice
Question , why is a Torque wrench never in use?
Doesn't seem to be much info online about this bike? I know of the Climbmax and Bromax frames by Paul Brodie but never seen or heard of this before. Maybe you could reach out to him and even do a video with him talking about this bike? Great build by the way, especially love the original 98 SID fork 😎
That frame is in great condition for its age
Great job. 👍
Thanks for the build. @PaulBrodie has a great UA-cam channel himself where he shares bike construction knowledge.
Incredible less than 22 lb, muy bonita!!!
Beautiful build - makes me want to go find something similar and do that. But my wife has me on a plan where if I bring in a new bike, one has to leave! 😑
What's the song as you are riding? It fit the video very well!
Headset cups are the wrong way around?
😁🙌.

@@oldshovel interesting and unexpected rationale. I suppose it depends on how you look at it 😁
Flite saddle is still my favorite...
Way cool. Amazing find.. Hooded dropouts....awesome. Love the original Rolf wheels! My favorite wheels ever.
Vintage class ripper.
I'd ride that to Skinwalker Ranch with a tent and back..
Please don't stop making videos and supporting 501C3 non profits.
Inspiration... passion. Too cool
Send that bike to Sam Pilgrim for proper testing.. jk .
Love to see a Brew racing frame restored like this.
How did you get those tires in such great condition? Geax / Wild Gripper colour with no dry rot...Thanks for sharing.

Hello! Does Brodie comes in Aluminum frame? I just bought one without any label on the frame but it looks similar to this bike (just different materials).
What kind / brand tires are those (with the blue wall) ? Thanks.
The purple people eater came from a movie that came out in 1988! Starring Neil Patrick Harris, and Ned Beatty! And of course you know who Bodie!
