- Опубліковано 13 лип 2019
- Tag along with me as I build the ultimate bike to take on the summer streets in New York City! In this video, I vlog while getting my new bike custom made and walk you all through the process. I customize every detail of my new bike, and crack some jokes along the way.
Thanks to The Bike Truck (www.thebiketruck.com)!
Enjoy.

Literally just got one today after watching this video. Drop bar single speed in navy with custom bar tape and upgraded thicker tires for my 6’2 240lbs body. 630 with tax all in. Great city bike for Brooklyn great price. Great service. The owner hooked me up with it too!! Great folks.
Thanx 4 the info. Need 2 find something comparable soon
I’m trying to get into cycling man ima have to start saving up
Video came out great! Your editing skills are on point and the Brooklyn Hipster montage had me LOLing pretty hard. A good tribute to Devra as well, and a good reminder to everyone to stay safe out there. I'm going to start rolling out my bike safety videos starting next week. Thanks again for making this awesome vid and I hope you heal up soon man.
Thanks for everything Jake! This was my favorite video to do. See ya soon!!
The music is pure New York, and already giving us a familiarity and connection from video to video. Great shit, my guy.
thank ya sir! If I got your stamp of approval, then im Gucci!!!
Great video brother. Love the lock holder attached to the bike
"These are all dick jokes, by the way." Yep. I'm subscribing.
*Love the colors and **Latest.Bike** build. Rides smooth right out of the box. If you are looking to get in to riding for fitness, this is a great ride.*
But brother man, in the beginning you mentioned to please wear a helmet due to a 10% increase in bike accidents in NY, and you yourself being in one. However in the end of the video your riding your nice new bike with a cap? Glad you were not seriously hurt but seriously practice what you preach. Be safe! Ride smart,✌🏽
you're 100% right. Unfortunately I mentioned that in hindsight following my accident. Thanks for the well wishes
@@toldbythomas No problem be safe, ✌🏽
Shocked to look and see you have 5000 subscribers. Not that 5000 isn’t a lot, I just expected a couple hundred thousand at least! The quality of this video is excellent! Really well done! Earned a new sub :)
That’s a solid build bro. Nice work!
Awesome bike build and great video
Mad funny and informative 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Safety first!!!
Here’s to a quick recovery 😊
Thanks Angie! Already feeling better. Should be back to normal by October :)
Told By Thomas take it easy cutie 😊
Love your editing skills, boi.
My man is playin cliff brown on the intro ? Instant subscription 💪✌️
wooooooow.....you know the vibes!!! Thanks bro!
that just saved me asking...:)
Awesome video man! I bike around Brooklyn too - we definitely need more bike safety legislation!
Great video brother! God loves you and may He guide you 🙏❤️
Did Nas sample Cliff Brown?
nice vids man i bought a bike thats arriving at 6/10/2020 cant wait to hit the road with my brother. I live in New York city but at Astoria and me and my brother probably gonna pass by Brooklyn when i get to test ride the bike. Great content btw continue what your doing.
RIP DEVRA!!! 🙏🏽
Hope your arm feels better. 😢. Great video! Especially the dic jokes 😂! Anddddd the 1-800 number 👏🏽👏🏽🙊! You’re great.... never know what’s gonna come out ya mouth... I always love your vids.
HA ...thats my secret to keep people watching on UA-cam and in life....you just never know what I'm going to say or do next. Thanks for always watching, you da best!
Found you on Instagram through The Bike Truck's page. I'm sorry to hear about your injury and hope you heal quickly. I'll be picking up my The Bike Truck bike this week - super excited. Keep safe out there.
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that! I got very lucky with my accident, and its looking like I'll be able to comfortably bike again in October. Congrats on your new bike! You're going to love it. Did you get a single speed?
@@toldbythomas Yup, small frame single speed in black. Meanwhile I have a folding bike that does fairly well. Video on that this Friday!
@@NewYorkCityonTwoWheels Nice...I just subscribed so I'll be on the look out for that vid!!
Told By Thomas Thank you! Subscribed to you as well!
I love that bike. It’s ashame you missed the bike fair in bushwick about a month ago.
Thanks John! Yeah, I'm def going to have to catch the next one!!
You need splash guards!
I just picked up my first bike went with a specialized Rockhopper comp 1x. 29" wheels do feel a little to big.
Great video, like the nyc content! What camera and editing software do u use??
Thanks man!! I use the Sony AR7II and edit on Final Cut Pro X, its pretty simple once you get the hang of it (especially if you come from iMovie)
What gearing did you choose?
Always been an MTBer, but damn that is a sexy bike. Awesome.
Love the video. Nice Bike build, sorry about your first bike accident. My it only be the last. Always sad to hear of wonderful people getting killed. Enjoy your Beautiful Bike.
Thank you!! Def fully recovered from the injury (thanks for asking). Unfortunately my bike did not survive the accident and I'm back to using ubers and my trusty metrocard.
@@toldbythomas damn lol. what terrible luck
How's the bike riding since you first got it?
Damn the bike truck went out of business
That frame is one size too small for you
Or he can just lift the seat a little?
Damn, are they no longer around? I was planning on visiting.
good video
I'm super late but sick vid ✊🏽
🤘😃
What Kyle said and what are your thoughts today on the bike?
rip DEVRA💖
Music?
Any man that didn't learn how to fix bikes and build them as a child is suspect to me
Everyone had different experiences of childhood. That's okay.
How much did u have to pay
Is this a place like to buy if there is can someone give me the address
383 Bushwick Ave. I'm sold out of most options right now so please message me or email me at jake@thebiketruck.com before coming by
Would it be rude to ask how much that beast set ya back?
Single speeds are currently $499+tax although the water bottle cage is +$5 and the lock +$50
@@JakeLeary that's cheap
Came here from graham's reaction
Stay safe🙏🏽🚵🏽♂️
Good video! Stay safe out there bruh- I almost got hit by a fire truck which prompted me to get a RoadID band. Check them out. Beautiful bike!!!
Great bike always wear a helmet ⛑
I prefer a thread-less headset. These are all threaded, not for me!
Cutie
Where is he from Ohio?
You look like method man
How do you only have 2k subs
scrub to 3:10
“These are all dick jokes, btw”. Lmao. Nice.
I’m a grower, not a show-er
Wont let me watch
How can a fixie be a dream bike? It's more like a nightmare bike.
Lmao
Informed us of importiant bike safety yet proceeded to ride the bike down the street with no helmet...loved the dick jokes though 😀
Totally disagree,best bike for ny city is upright hybrid.
Gtfo of here. Hake leary owns that shop?! Gotta stop by and support the float life fam while picking a new bike up
Can we see the footage when you get hit lol
Dude... 3 min intro.
The trick is to make your bike look shitty so no one steels it
Очень плохая сборка
Please show more the bike it self rather than some one talking...
I hate seeing new cyclists getting ripped off and don’t get it twisted you are getting ripped off by buying this cheap stuff. Anyone looking to buy an entry level single speed, track, commuter, or fixed gear bike there are way better options in Brooklyn as well as the other boroughs (online as well). Don’t be fooled by the colors and options these are things to distract and fool the uninformed new customer. Do your research and go to a respected retailer with name brands you’ll end up having something that will last with resale value.
Talk too much
That bike frame is one size too small for you
Lololol everyone says that. I'm going to get a new bike next spring, and I'll def make it bigger
