Awesome video! And mad to see a saint groupset on a cargo bike! 🤯 cool though 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Cheers mate! Ha ha yeah, it's got a better spec than my enduro bike 😅😅
@@RobRidesCargoBikes shimano have gifted me a few quids worth of stuff in light of my recent win so for old times sake, i wouldn’t mind sending you a set of saint levers in support if you fancy.. would be good to see you get rid of them trp levers 😉
Ah mate, that's too kind! Maybe wait until you see how I treat the bike in the upcoming race videos before offering to buy new parts 😉😉 But really mate, thanks so much for the support!
Loved the video! The editing and B-roll was great! 👍
Thanks mate! I appreciate the compliments!
Nice looking bike!!! You've just make me want to have a Cargo bike
Thank you! I'd highly recommend a cargo bike, but I think I may be a bit biased 😉
Awesome video! Bullitt is such a versatile machine, I love mine too 😍 (you got yourself a new subscriber 😎)
Thanks! Yes I agree, they are very versatile and a blast to ride!
Hi Rob, Nice video! Looking forward to more, regards Helgi
Thanks Helgi! You helped push me towards making my own channel, glad that you've checked out the first video, thanks for the support!
Awesome sauce!!
Thanks mate!
❤❤❤
Awesome bike. I'd like to have such cargobike, but at this time just cant, heh.
Yes, they are expensive for sure. I can only recommend scouring marketplaces and setting alerts, that's how I got both of mine for a (relatively) good price 👍
Thanks for the video, was very good. Where did you pick up your rubber feet for the stand? Many thanks Olly
Hi Olly, glad you liked the video, thank you! I got the rubber feet from Amazon, though I imagine any place that sells wheelchairs, walkers and zimmerframes etc will have them. You'll need the 25mm tube diameter version, ideally with a metal washer in the bottom so you don't wear through it really quickly.
@@RobRidesCargoBikes ah thanks for your reply, that's super helpful. Much appreciated!
Nice video. Was this bike previously with Velopak in Aarhus?
Yes it was! That's who I bought it from 👍
I'm a die hard fan for Lupine lights. Expensive, yes, but they outshine some cars and are StVZO compliant.
Cool, thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check them out!
crutch feet are so smart! what size worked out for you?
Hey! Thanks, it's a tip I picked up while checking out a few other Bullitts over the years. I have crutch feet with a 25mm diameter hole, but make sure you get some with a metal washer at the bottom of the hole or you'll wear through them really quick.
Hi Rob, A well put together video and plenty of info. Quick question I'm thinking of doing the North Cape 4000 on a cargo bike just for the shizzz and giggles. what sort of speed can you maintain on that rig? 20+ KPH or is that a tad rich. Keep smiling JB
Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated 😄
Wow, the North Cape 4000 would be a huge achievement on any bike, let alone a cargo bike! Good luck! Average speed is obviously highly dependant on load, but when it's empty, a sustained 28-30kph is doable on a still day. Once I start putting kids or other heavier things in then I'm down to mid-to-low 20's, though also bear in mind that my average journey is probably between 5-10km on flat routes, and nowhere near 4000km!
Let me know if you need a place to camp in Berlin during the North Cape 4000 💪
@@RobRidesCargoBikes cheers Rob, you are a total legend. May take the plunge and head to Copenhagen to test ride the Omnium and the Bullitt. I'm thinking frame set then build up with a few carbon bits. The load will be fairly light. If I time Berlin at a good time I'll help with your race diet. (Beer & Pizza) 😉
@@jamesbicknell4706 Is there ever a bad time for beer and pizza? 😉
I imagine you're probably already aware of Allan Shaw who did the Silk Road Mountain Race on an Omnium last year, may be worth checking out his setup if you're also looking at Omniums.
I've also noticed an increasing trend of folk doing longer journeys on GinkGo cargo bikes. The bigger wheels will no doubt roll better than the smaller wheels of most other frontloading cargo bikes, so possibly another avenue to consider!
I did look at the Ti Omnium but it's a tad rich and long waiting queue. But the Bullitt is starting to get under my skin. With a carbon steeper and possibly a ti steering rod......
@@jamesbicknell4706 I totally understand the Bullitt getting under your skin! I'm not sure how easy it'd be to get your hands on a Ti steering rod, though this video would likely be your best bet: ua-cam.com/video/RFRAi5Yze2c/v-deo.html
Ittai used to post on some Bullitt owners groups and did a couple of limited runs of the Ti steering arms, but then he stopped posting and that video was the first time I'd seen him pop up for a while. I'd love one also, but am not really in a position to be chasing marginal gains on a cargo bike at the moment!
i put the lupine sl minimax on my cargo bike, ginkgo. its a really strong, small and nice light, with a bluetooth remote, super handy, no long wire
Cool, thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out! I love the look of the Ginkgos by the way, I'd love to try one out!
@@RobRidesCargoBikes the ginkgo is awesome. super light and the big front wheel has a very positive effect on the bumps on the road. it rolls so easily over obstacles sweeppber the bullitt and the cargo bikes with small front wheel. only the payload is not like that of bullitt and co. i have a box with airline rails, go more in width than in height.
@@romanknobel7370 Sounds really good! I'll be at the Velo Berlin show next month so hopefully there'll be one there that I can take for a test ride. I like the idea of the bigger wheels rolling better, especially as there are a lot of cobbled streets and bumpy back roads where I ride, and I very rarely go up to the maximum payload of the Bullitt anyway so I don't think I'd miss the 180kg limit. Ah well, I already have 2 cargo bikes, not sure I have room for a third!
@@RobRidesCargoBikes can there be too many cargo bikes? 🕺
No, definitely not 🤣
Lets go for a Pink Bullitt Ride in BErlin :D
Yes! Let's do it!
@@RobRidesCargoBikes i think you know my Bike was bevor at Fahrwerk Kollektiv
@@Samsderbilly Yes there's a good chance I've seen it as I was at both the Kolektif and Velo shows the last two years 👍
@@RobRidesCargoBikes yeah think so
what website to use while searching for used Bullits in Denmark or Holland?
I found this one in the Bullitt Universal Owners group on Facebook, and there is also a Bullitt Buy/Sell group on Facebook. I've seen quite a few adverts from www.dba.dk/ for used Bullitts in Denmark, and there are a few used Bullitts on www.marktplaats.nl/ in the Netherlands.
How tall are you?
Hey! I'm 6ft/183cm.
Thank you!!! I’m 174 cm. Do you think that Bullit size is ok for me?
I’m Italian.
@@francescodiana6912 Yes for sure, it should certainly fit you!
if you don't have visco, buy one.
Honestly, I've never had a problem with wobbles/head shakes on this bike. Perhaps I'm just lucky, but it's very flat here and I rarely get over 35kph so also not really much chance of a potential speed wobble situation really. I do have a spare steering damper in my parts bin, but the Viscoset looks like a really clean solution if I ever need to go down that route.
ah i thought it's something new but it's just a bullitt
It's a pretty nice one though right? ;) Ha ha, getting a product launch video from Larry Vs Harry would be a dream!
i have yet to see any bullitt that didn't look amazing@@RobRidesCargoBikes your bikes rock. bit expensive for me unfortunately
@@markifi Thank you! That is very true, they are undeniably expensive. There are deals to be had out there but you have to be quick and have to already be scouring marketplaces and owners groups to get the very best deals.
