Bending a handlebar for my road bike build and grandis 1986 bike check 

Being able to do bike stuff like this all day would be a dream come true…. And now my lunch break is coming to an end…

Campagnolo shifters in the thumbnail got me🤷🏻‍♂️

Please make a video every day. Thank you sir.

this guy's gonna be such a sick old man

"ride faster than the mosquitos" is a mood

What is he doing wrapping from the top??? Omg there's a knife! He's wrapping from the bottom! The knife again! So smart!

I like the shop area, a clean shop is a sign of a dirty mind. Mostly, though, I like the "misery whip".

So many top shelf bits! 👏

I'm surprised how easy it is to get it good enough.

[looking around the shop]“What’d I do with ‘em??” I’m glad I’m not the only one this happens to 🙃

cool. An interesting handle bar tape wrapping technique and nice music suggestion in this vid. And of course a cool bike.

Tires so SKINNY !!! more bike check videos please!!!

This channel is my happy place

Stem is ridiculous....I love it

I love campy 10 speed levers with 9 speed shimano mechs and 8 speed cassette/chain combo. Works great and cheap as.

More Chris Black! I love it!

Tnx for this GREAT TIP on how to SAFELY BEND your Dropbars SAFELY. CAPS 4 EMPHASIS only😅😅😅. Genius!!! Cheers!🎉🎉🎉

That's a fast seat post.

Lovely Sheffield made Thomas Flinn saw hanging uo there. I bought the same one.

In the 80's I would always ude Benetto tape. Start with a little flane to mwlt the plastic to make og stick. Then go downwards and end with a cap!

Finally a youtube channel I can get into

Mmmm. Have not seen cloth bar tape since 1980’s. Perfect. Brooks pro ‘butchered’ seat...again Mmmm! As much as I love my modern bikes, very pleased to have an old steel road frame,built up with Campy. In England during the 1960’s and 70’s the ‘butchered’ Brooks B17 and Pro saddles were the result of taking the seat off the rails..shaving down and replacing with large copper rivets.Also re-shaping the back,so it was flush with the steel....I had 2 of these,which I sold to an American guy on eBay 10 years ago...

been wrapping my bars wrong my whole life after watching this. damn it! 🤣

here for that stem. cinelli does it right! still regret selling my bike with a cinelli alter stem on it and more videos of rons and arya's stable please!

With the long history of Japanese aesthetics, the old Shimano cable sprouts confused me...they chose function over style while the Campagnolo routing made you LOVE your bicycle...like the veins under your skin, the cables running under the bar tape just look clean a right

An exacting science to be sure.

outta control

Your italiano is very good Mybe because the grandis

I think a very wide Butterfly handle is in order....to be able to carry my Saddlebag/Handle bar bag?

grandis!

at 3:00 ... just want to do the opposite de-flared a Soma Condor 2 but I'm a little afraid of kinking the central rise of these hi-rise ( +50mm center rise ) handles . I should definitely apply my lever differently than at the other end like you. Or simply lay the bike on its side and do what I do while waiting for instructions at the start of a criterium... i.e. sit on it.

I just built up a 70s Albert Eisentraut with similiar old silver parts.

Fondriest & Ramirez my old bile Mike & campagnolo mirage 👋🖖

Cold bending aluminium should be done within limits. It will fatigue easily. I would not do it at all.

I'm using that same rear hub. I the matching front needs a rebuild. I'm not using it because I have a dynamo on the front.

I have a grandis too from the 70 How did you get a grandis in America ¿ I leave 100 km where they make them

What do you recommend for conditioning/waterproofing a new brooks, I don’t really want it to get softer or change shape. I like it how it is. I don’t want to speed up the process, but I do want to do what I can to waterproof the bottom. What’s do you recommend? Thanks!

I just noticed that RR has adopted my chain maintenance protocols.

Come on now, a little amber shellac never hurt anyone.

ship in an unmarked box straight into the Smithsonian mention my name upon entry make sure the tires are full

What kind of method did you use to wax that chain 😅? Love the videos, keep it up!

could one bend a set of aluminum wide handel bars ro make there own comfy bars

Noodlin!

I think I will do this with my 1987 Bianchi Premio

Can you put a epoxy floor on dirt?

For those of you doing the math, that was 10 speed campy shifters, 9 speed shimano derailleur, 8 speed cassette and 9 speed chain…????

Is it alloy or steel handlebar?

Why do you wrap bartape from two direction, instead just continue from top to bottom?

muscle memory, fuck ya

@11:30, I was thinking the same thing. How did we ever survive the 19-23C days?

How do fine scientific and high performing athletes like yourselves treat the chain? It looks a bit dirty to my eye, but given your feats of endurance and bravery on two wheels I’m guessing you have a special technique. Am I right?

are those alloy bars?

It would help if you sorted your recording levels out, I couldn't hear what you were saying at the start.

Works great until you go to dump it

This bike was really easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

Listen.....they didn’t call me The Flash......for nothing....I could throw up and turn a 53 uphill with a smile on my face ....I’m just saying 🤷🏻‍♂️

Slight David Lynch vibes. P.S don't have children jk
