Another upvote for that colour! I love it.
Bike seems great and I like all the POV. That's exactly what I'd want to see if I was gonna buy this.
This video proves to me that a reasonably priced bike is totally good enough for the trails, one thing I would like to see on this bike is a set of budget tektro hydraulic brakes
But I do get why you went with mechanical disc brakes, its much easier for the home mechanic to deal with
How do you know the cost of this bike? The 😂 it's not even out yet!
@@garypierson6455 I can tell by components and it’s aluminum
@@garypierson6455 Because he's said that that is the whole purpose of this bike, to be a really good intermediate quality, entry level hard tail at a good price. Insert emoji where I laugh at you.
lol I actually don't even know what the price is going to end up being yet.
Fun ride-along, thanks!!
Really diggin the full trail videos. These look so fun to me and the style of the video feels like you’re on the ride too sorta. Also, lots of fun to watch the Norton get put through everything you can find.
Man, you put out some good content. Glad I found your channel!
Nice! Enjoyed the POV 😎😎😎 bike looks great.
Thanks! 👍
Loved the POV! Watched it on my walk to work and swear my travel time was shorter...
That looked like a great day out👍
Finding the right tire pressure for the trail your riding the struggle is real!
It's great that you can build a budget bike with modern geometry through axles and tapered head tube and yet the major brands are still selling us out dated June for alot of money! You're bike you can upgrade as your riding progresses
It's a good color. A 2nd water bottle mount would be nice to have for us desert & drought state folks.
These tires are really impressive. They look like they these conditions like some top tier tires if they aren't.
I absolutely love the frame it reminds so much of the nukeProof scout I would love to upgrade my frame to either or.
Any more room for suggestions? If you make a change to the chain stays, maybe make them flare out sooner to accommodate fatter tires. I’d love to be able to stick up to 2.8s on it.
I bet that you feel that there's too much POV because it's yourself riding. I liked it a lot. More of that
Came here to say exactly this.
Good job! I especially like the destructive testing.....Cause.....How do you know the limits until you exceed them?
Honest little bike that will be ripe for upgrades - I hope they sell it in Red 🔥
Red wasn't on my list for production, but it is one of my fav colours for bikes for real haha
What a great project and looks like a great bike. What would be the approximate price of this budget hard tail and Where can we have more info on the geometry of the Poseidon?
Real bad want one!
I’m really hoping we can fit the 29s and the frame will be available solely for purchase.. I will buy it for sure!
Definitely pushing for 29's, cause I want to fit them in there as well lol. But I have no plans to lose any budget with fancy chainstay manipulations to fit anything huge with a 29 in there.
@@Spindatt I hear you.. I don’t mind a thinner ~2”+ rear tire either personally. My pike fits a honkin 2.8” pssh I got plenty of width up there
I could actually see myself getting this bike (if it comes in another colour…) with some quick upgrades as a way to get back into mountain biking.
Could?
My prototype colour is my prototype colour! haha
POV is good considering you are showcasing this bike.
Will the Spindatt Norton head logo be on the Poseidon production frame?
yes!
Awesome
What's rattling on Love Shacks?
I definitely don’t mind the vids being a little longer in the name of more POV.
Hydraulic brakes are really a defining feature of a trail bike for me. You don't need them, but once you use them you won't feel confident on less imo.
Yeah i say the same thing about droppers. If you haven't ridden one: you are fine. Trying to go back: not good.
@@Spindatt personally I haven't ridden a dropper post but I am tempted to get one. I also haven't submitted to 1x though so I feel like it will make my cockpit super cluttered. I'm also low key interested in the higher end suspension seatpost because I don't have full suspension and some days my spine is just not feeling all those impacts.
I will add. Once you have a 1x...it's hard to go back to 3x. Just more crap I have to adjust every 3rd ride
Better the frame only option all that componets dont gona last
Never tried mixing peanut butter with jam b4.
Jelly only?
That was scary
Thank god Bombas socks are back!
No where near as exciting but have you ridden it around town? Like a strictly urban setting? I know that’s not what it’s for but many of us buy entry level bikes as our only bike and use it for everything. I rode mountain bikes for 10 years on streets and only occasionally off road. You’re putting it through its paces for toughness but what about its versatility? I’d watch that video.
The two go together like foot and sock. 👌🏻🥴
Eric Spinney make it sliding rear drop outs. Plz. Like plz plz. I want this frame
too much money for what I want this bike to be.
Any tyre insert or rim protection at the back?
bare backed
@@Spindatt you should not go out in public like that without protection 😄 hack a selfmade rim protector 😀
click that subscribe button!
plz and thx.. if you don't mind.
reasonable socks, reasonable bike, all very reasonable. solid.
I like things reasonable. Sometimes reasonably unreasonable though.. if you know what I mean
these socks are actually amazing.
What a mildly whelming video. +1
Kind of like most of what I put out lol
I hope Bombas pays you well!
The party always winds up in the kitchen… even in the Great Lakes region of the US.
Figure out how to mount a GoPro for a ridiculous and fun Socks Cam. Your sponsor will thank you, and your viewers will laugh.
Those trails make me have to pee.
its kitchen party life everywhere! I'll fit right in
@@Spindatt well you are welcome here anytime.
Same in the UK. The real party happens in the kitchen. Or the stairs.
My guess is that bike will be about $799 to $899 Canadian
No way that's too cheap. It will probably be at Marin SQ1 price point which is around 1100-1300 CAD
I think that if you can (and should be able to) put this on the market at $600 USD it's worth the money. More than that, Im not sure. I can get an agressor pro, or an axum DP for $400 on sales. Let's say axum DP, plus $80 on hydro brakes, $20 on pedals, $ 10 on grips and optional any brand cheap air fork and you have what I'm talking about at that price point, it's not unreasonable. An entry level hard tail is $400 USD New out of store, a mid level is $600-699, and any smart man in reality is buying something used for $250 off Facebook. Idk, this bike fits a gap for me that unless it is priced low low, you will soon be going "Ah, if I just spent a few $ more"
Both of those bikes are QR with considerably worse components, and unbelievably difficult to match box store volumes of scale. The Norton makes sense to hang awesome parts off of and grow with as you progress (or want to build).
*why does it seem like every comment reply I make reads as: kind of jerk-like. Is it just me?
@@Spindatt I like the idea you put into this bike, it’s a good bike that can grow with us with some upgrades when we need them, that’s exactly what I like about the bike
I can't remember if you addressed this previously- will the stock tires be able to be setup tubeless?
Why would I want Obama's socks?
