Thank you! I am grateful to be part of the Temple Cycles' community and I look forward to more memories riding this bike! 🤗 It felt like home riding it everyday!
Cheers, Tim! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I miss all the metal clinging and mechanical ratchet sound during the build phase already! On a side note, when you are ready to buy their frameset, feel free to use my affiliate link and discount code in the description. I look forward to seeing your bike build with it too! 🤗
Ah mate, thanks for the kind words. It was difficult to visualise it at first but I am glad it turned out great! Couldn't stop staring at it every time I take it out for a spin :)
Hey Lee, I am 178cm tall and had built this with the Large frameset (57cm), whilst considering a swept back flat handlebar at the time. The seat tube at this size did catch me out though, with the top tube merely meeting my groin whilst I am standing. Otherwise I should have gone for the Medium size, which seems to be the recommended size based on my height. :)
What a lovely bike you have there (your last bike was also nice) Are you self taught? You’ve done a great job on the build. I’m surprised that you use a multitool for the assembly, with the budget for the bike I would have thought you’d treat yourself to some workshop tools. But hey, if it does the job you’ve proved we don’t all need a mechanic’s workshop. We’ll done sir 👏❤
Cheers, David! 🤗Yea I was self-taught for this build, mainly by watching tutorial videos from Park Tool's channel, especially the wheel build session! Perhaps my background in engineering and having built one for Wen two years ago gave me a bit of confidence too, knowing that I can still fire fight if I ever screw up. 🤭 And the multitool...I know right?! I don't know how I managed to pull it off without losing my patience haha....maybe I will treat myself with a proper set if I were to do another build in the future. 👍
@@tadwenture Very impressive. The Park tool channel is so valuable. Calvin is a legend. I admire your courage in building your own wheels. I haven’t plucked up the courage for that yet.
I learnt about this type of housing clip from my previous build video when someone totally despise cable ties and strongly suggested me to use the C-clips. I got these C-clips from Jagwire and so far they hold the cable housing very snug and doesn't come off. I'm a big fan of them now although they are on the expensive side, but you pay for what you get I supposed :) I'm spoiled this time 😅
Yoo....this pair of boots is a cycling specific boots with built-in cleats beneath the sole. Cool right!? The make is Quoc - Chelsea Boots, a British brand that I followed ten years ago. They mainly specialise in Road and Gravel cycling shoes now. This pair of boots is a bit stiff to begin with, but I finally broke into it after three seasons of wear now :)
This is a joy to watch. Great workmanship.
Glad that you enjoyed watching it, mate! 🤗
What a beauty of a bike! Happy riding. :)
Well produced video worthy of showing off your beautiful bike and bike building skills.
Thank you kindly! It was very daunting but I am glad that it turned out great in the end. I enjoyed every single moment riding it! 😀
Sweet dude! 🤙🏼 Temple is a great company I really like their philosophy…
A great bike for a great guy! We wish you many years of joyous exploring with it 😀

Such a beautiful build and a great video. Happy riding!
Great video. We are so simple, happy like kid with new bike :)
Yippee!! A new bike after over a decade, I will take that and cherish it! :)
Very classy build.
This is fantastic! Beautiful bike!
Great build, I love the look of the bike. I am looking to buy the adventure frame from Temple this year hopefully.... Great video as well 👏👏

Beautiful build! 🤩
Very lovely video. And a beautiful new bike. Love the scenes of cycling in Bristol - a brilliant cycle city.
Hiya! Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! :) Yasss... can ride on this bike around Bristol all day!
Beautiful build❤
Thank you! 🤗
I appreciate your factoring mechanical utility and aesthetics into your builds (as I do myself).
Ah mate, thanks for the kind words. It was difficult to visualise it at first but I am glad it turned out great! Couldn't stop staring at it every time I take it out for a spin :)
Excellent 👌
lovely video!
Its an honor to be the 100th liker. 😂
Nice build....it looks like it fits you perfectly....what size frame/toptube and how tall are you?
Hey Lee, I am 178cm tall and had built this with the Large frameset (57cm), whilst considering a swept back flat handlebar at the time. The seat tube at this size did catch me out though, with the top tube merely meeting my groin whilst I am standing.

Awesome build and vid. What were those cable guide clip thingys called?! I much prefer those to zip ties

Yo what boots you wearing in the vid ❤
I'm wondering too, they're so clean!
Caught my eye too. Hoping for an answer soon

Ah. Thanks for the information. I’ve heard of them, they did a collaboration with restrap for their cycling sandals.
Put a Bafang 1000w mid drive bruv. Will win innit
Beautiful build ❤
