In the 90's I drooled over Ellsworth bikes. I remember in college flipping through the Ellsworth catalogue with by buddies dreaming that someday I could own one. That day came a few weeks ago when I spotted this frame at the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective and I brought this awesome frame home.

I picked up a discarded ‘96 Ellsworth Truth that needed a lot of repair but has turned out to be a great bike for my grandson.

@hunterchen9 23 дня назад

Love this bike and this channel. These nostalgic high end builds bring us back to the golden days of mountain biking.

@gusreyes5447 Месяц назад

Beautiful restoration build. I love that bike and it’s a keeper. Don’t ever let go of it.

My dear Oldshovle, I love the emotional way you share your bike dreams with the world. Made my coffee morning. Greetings from my Vacation at Bodensee in southern germany. Stephan

@A_SingleSpeeder Месяц назад

I had an Ellsworth Id when it first came out. The bottom bracket height was ridiculous at like 14" but it was perfectly balanced and was perfect for the log rolls in the PNW. Loved it....until the chainstay cracked.

Man, Ellsworth was the s**t back in the day! Had some friends that had them. Made me super envious.

@user-he6tq3dh4y Месяц назад

Rode a 26" Turner XCE frame for many years. Almost bought the Ellsworth but went with Turner in the end. Glad to see these older frames get some love. They still ride great on natural trails rather than the new, faster, park-style trails.

@heywood165 Месяц назад

I bought a Gen 1 Ellsworth Moment frame off eBay back in 2004, it was an absolutely brilliant bike. Pace fork, dhx air shock, XT 10 speed with bash guard all finished with Hope stem, seat clamp, wheels and brakes. It was probably the most comfortable and fun bike I’ve owned, I don’t understand why they got so much hate, they obviously never rode one.

@timvasquez2321 Месяц назад

Beautiful bike. Bikes just look better to me with straight tubes. IMO. ( but I’m old, so……) Having said that, my last DH bike was a 2001 Dare, which didn’t have a single straight tube anywhere. But it was fun to ride.

@Sedge63 Месяц назад

Nice end product.

@wan9xu Месяц назад

Same here-now in a stage of life where I am trying to fulfill college mtb dreams. Unfortunately I wanted a Titus racer x back then, which now lacks support and is standover challenged. Am considering a Santa Cruz superlight instead.

@bradberry117 Месяц назад

Beautiful Clean up.. When you have that back in the stand you should consider a dropper post. I think it would change your experience on the bike,

@73megalith Месяц назад

Similar to my 2004 Kona Dawg at first glance but totaly a better built frame , also Horst Link not single pivot like the kona was. Nice choice of new parts on the resto mod and if it were mine i would go looking for an original Gravity Dropper mechanical seatpost 😆🤙

@NonLegitNation2 29 дней назад

I'm a member of the r/mountainbiking and r/budgetbikeriders subreddit's and there are always people showing older bikes like these asking if they are good first mountain bikes and it pisses me off because everyone on those subreddits are so obsessed with geometry and having all the newest tech and always tell the people not to buy the bikes. There was guy just last week who was going to buy an older Kona Dawg Dee lux that looked to be in great condition and i was the only person encouraging him to buy it.

@decentdad1160 Месяц назад

funny thing- I picked one of these up during the pandemic for 400 bucks- guy even had the owners manual, stickers, and a Ellsworth Pint glass. Ended up selling it for 1200 during the crazy days but i kept the pint glass- wish i woulda kept it!

@heinricholiphant9676 Месяц назад

@samprevratil9734 Месяц назад

@Casitascrawlers Месяц назад

Ellsworth had some really good quality bikes when Freeride hit it became a well known name but it also had nice trail bikes & XC bikes.

@letour32rr Месяц назад

I was blessed to have parents that supported my mountain biking as a teenager when this bike was new. However, they didn’t support it financially because our family budget didn’t allow it besides a couple race registrations and gas money to get there. Definitely drooled over the Ellsworth Truth at that time. Great episode!

@closegl_ Месяц назад

Nice find @oldshovel, the frame is in such an amazing condition! The way the rear shock is mounted looks a bit weird to me. Wouldn't it be possible to flip the shock with the air valve pointing to the left, to have easier access to the adjustment dial?

@byrondot Месяц назад

Amazing job! I thought that you will take off the V-brakes pivots on rear frame. Will you do that in future? Enjoyable video! Big hug!

@track5200 29 дней назад

@ianralph9737 Месяц назад

@TheJaredPointer Месяц назад

Maybe this is something you did off camera, but what about the shock? Did you do any service or rebuild on that shock, or was that something you checked out and it was good?

@jasonkroll9532 Месяц назад

Thow it on the scale.

@glen3509 Месяц назад

And maybe you'll go with Mavic 517 SUP or Mavic 719 wheels🤘🤘. I'm hoping to finally go back to Mavic's in the next couple of months, Crossrides; they're almost 💰600.00🍁. My first pair was a 222 F with an STX-RC hub and a 221 R with an LX hub; this was w🅰️y....back....in 1999. Then, in 2001, I paid about $350.00🍁 for a barely used set of Mavic 517 SUP with Parallax XT hubs; I still have the hubs. But the rear one is seized😖 lol. Lastly, in 2010, I bought a set of 719s with XT disk hubs🤘🤘. S🍁rry for "writing a book"😁

@depechemodehair5264 28 дней назад

Hello, I have a question because always in each restoration of the bicycle in question you change the handlebars, is it only to make it look more modern or because it improves its performance?

@diveaddict6885 Месяц назад

@ondrejmanych5688 29 дней назад

Is it 27,5? Or 26? I cant really tell. Usually it is obvious, but not on that bike. Also, you really like SPDs on your xc bikes right? I saw you use them on all of your personal builds.

@oldshovel 29 дней назад

It’s a 26” bike. And yes I am an spd guy. They’re super common and work good for me and I can easily have them on all my vintage rides without having to swap pedals all the time.

@ondrejmanych5688 28 дней назад

@@oldshovel awesome! I have both spd and crankbrothers, trying them both. So far, Crankbrothers feel a little better for me, but as you say, spd is cheaper and everywhere. After 25 years on flats, I gave this a chance. So far, so good.
