Building My New Gravel Bike - New Bike Day! 

Aw thanks.

Thanks mate. Love the blue and orange.

Thank you. She loves learning this stuff…she helps me with everything even the editing. 👌🏼

Thank you 🙏🏽

I can’t wait to get out and ride it.

Thank you

Thank you. It’s really fun/slightly stressful building with kids but so worth it. She’s getting pretty good it at now. 👌🏼

Thank you

It really is!

100% I think I need to do it a few times supervised first before being left to my own devices.

Thanks mate

They really did! You calling me a tart? 😂😂😂

Thank you

Thanks Pete

Bloody perfect isn’t it?!

@@DaveNoakes absoFlippinLutely! 👍

Thank you 🙏🏽

I definitely like this colour much more than i expected

They really are aren’t they!

Thanks mate. Ok so first impressions of the chain are…it doesn’t have as much side to side stiffness as a kmc…feels cheap…let’s see how it goes. I just bought a new cassette for £40 to pair with it. 😂

@@DaveNoakes guess the cheaper stuff will always suffer from lower grade materials and give less performance - it's a trade though, maybe use the cheaper stuff through the winter slop and change over to the good stuff once the weather gets better? I'm in for a new casette, chain & BB bearings now (well if I will ride through slop and floods!) - I should have just changed them out to cheaper after market components rather than ruining the SRAM stuff over the winter! even if the performance isn't quite there, it could be better value for UK winter time trail riding! be good to see how the chain/casette combo goes and if it's worth it or not - cheers

700c wheel 44c wtb Raddler tyre 👌🏼

It’s also available in black

Thanks mate. I’m proper happy with how it turned out. The front chainring is a 40t. Here’s a link…although I can’t say I recommend it. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGSMY8NG?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1

😁😁😁

Thank you. It’s just a long piece of elastic cord. Looks a bit nicer than the Velcro imo

@@DaveNoakes It's actually a great Idea and looks so much nicer

Thanks mate. This sweatshirt is both for building bikes and best 😂

👌🏼 sure does

Few little tweaks…but none to geo or carbon layup.

Gimmie a few to find my scales

9.4kg with pedals, cheapo chain, frame bag and water bottle. Could deffo get it down to around 8/8.5

Thanks! 9.4 with all of that is vey very good weight.

😂why? I’m a single parent, my daughter is a huge part of my life. She enjoys building bikes…I see no problem.

A bike is as good as it’s rider…so mine is just under mediocre 😂
