    Bid kudos to @Mootscycles for opening up their facility in the way they did in this video. Manon is just a fabulous presenter and helps make you feel like you are right their along side her. Great to see such awesome employees building these beautiful frames. Rossi just looks like a happy, enthusiastic Moots team member and definitely puts the company’s future in great hands.

    Love the dog beginning at 4:15. He crosses back and forth no less than 8 times for no apparent reason other than to be sure he is in the film. I also have some concern for the dogs getting their eyes burned in the welding shop. I just got my Moots Routt YBB about 2 months ago and love it. It is by far the finest bike I have ever owned. It was great to see how my bike was made!

      Can you feel a difference in the material compared to a chromoly, aluminum or carbon frame? I hear there's a springyness to a titanium frame.

    For those who haven't dealt with or know about fixture making for bicycle tube cutting jigs, especially for curved tubes, they are difficult to make and make useable for precise curve indexing. That is, so that the curves end up on the plane they need to be in for accurate cutting and length. Those jigs were elegant, hats off to their setup people. I've worked in two different bicycle production lines in the US and this was glorious. Also, Mannon was just a great presenter, great video. She did well with the serial number die stamping, it's an acquired skill for most people, and not an easy one.

    What a timely episode! I just got my Vamoots RCS recently and am absolutely over the moon about it. It took 8 months from fit to finish (literally) and I can’t stop staring at it each time I pass by it in the garage. This is my second MOOTS and will certainly not be my last. I definitely need to visit Steamboat to see Brent and his team work their magic on these wonderful pieces of rideable artwork. Cheers, Manon! I loved this video!! Look for my Bike Vault submission of my new RCS soon!!

    I loved watching the video. I own a 2013 Vamoots CR, that we had built up with a few minor adjustments. I love the bike. I wanted a bike that rode a little "softer" than a lot of the stiff racing bikes that were being built. With the components we used on the bikes and the great titanium frame, it has a ride I that is great for me. Titanium bikes are great since you don't have to worry about it rusting, and you automatically become a member of the titanium frame club. Thanks for the video and Thanks @MOOTCYCLES.

    I rode my first Merlin in 1989 when I worked at Metropolis Bikes in Arlington, VA. I fell in love with Titanium on that day. Since then I've owned a 90's Litespeed Ultimate, a Merlin Extra Lite, a Litespeed Blade and finally a 2000 Litespeed Ultimate which I still have today. I did the thing where you drive into the garage with 2 bikes on the rack. One was my ultimate and the other was a very small carbon guru from a friend of mine. The ultimate took the brunt of it with the top of the garage hitting the seat and it literally ripped off my Thule rack and my bike was completely fine. Man. If that had been carbon it would been carbon, it would have been new bike time lol. Yes, I think my Argon 18 is faster than my Litespeed, but there are days when I pull out the Litespeed and smile like I did in 1989. Titanium is still a fabulous material for a bicycle, and in 100 years my Ultimate will still be rideable while my carbon bikes are in the landfill. Great Video 🙏🏽❤️

    Watching titanium frame parts survive the "torture" of being bent and squashed into shape helps me understand one excellent reason why there is a devoted following of titanium bike riders. These bikes will survive conditions and crashes that would destroy a carbon bike. As an American, it's also nice to see this level of craftspersonship alive and well at Moots. Thanks for the awesome video.

    Almost ordered a Moots after my last gravel bike died in a crash with a Jeep in January. The 7 month lead times and $10k price tag pushed me a different direction, and I built my own up with a Ti Kinesis frame and was back riding in about a month.
    I feel like Moots is an amazing brand making amazing bikes, but it's so eye wateringly expensive I'm not sure I should ever really buy one. The fear of scratching, dropping, or damaging the frame would make it hard to ride it without that constantly in the back of my mind.

      @@prestachuck2867 titanium isn't magical. It gets abraided about as easy as steel, and concrete is capable of scratching it just fine if it hits the deck.
      My first Ti frame I bought at a bike swap. It had a repaired chainstay that had been abraided through when riding in mud. The rewelded chainstay survived everything I threw at it, including the Jeep that hit me. The top tube and down tube were torn off the head tube, but the weld in the chainstay was fine.

    The tube bender guy was having way too much fun. "Oh yeah" he days while watching her handle those tubes. Probably the high point of his day. Haha!

    Great video! Have been riding Moots for a long time. Legendary bikes, no doubt. First time I can add something of substance to the dialogue. "Routt" rhymes with "out", as in "Go on! Take your Routt and get out and about!" Named after the road, and the county and the nearby National Forest, all of which is named after Colorado's first Governor, John Long Routt (4/25/1826 - 8/13/1907)

    I can't put my finger on it but there's just someone special about the look of Titanium. 💙💙💙

      Raw Aluminium has a similar look - and the 7xxx Zinc or 6xxx Silicon/Magnesium alloys used for bikes technically don't need coatings (contrary to copper based 2xxx aircraft alloys).
      If you like the look but Titanium is too expensive raw Aluminium may be an alternative

    I love titanium as a material, I make rings out of it as a jeweler. Titanium bike frames sound like such a great idea and they are so beautiful! Sadly I will never in my life be able to afford one (from Moot at least). I can't even afford to pay that for a car (life of a starving artist). At least I can see them on UA-cam, and imagine riding one.

    I love titanium -- have 3 classic 90s hardtail frames built up as MTBs and monster gravel. My Moots is my 2nd favorite ... Bontrager TiLite is a step above.
