Is Steel better than Carbon? Step by Step Dream Steel Bike Build: Standert Triebwerk 

Amazing video, incredibly level of detail in here.. planning a standert build myself, and this could be the best reference yet :)

I really wish I could give this video 1000 likes because it truly deserves it

Super interessing video! Thanks so much for sharing ❤

The quality of your videos is immaculate! 🔥🔥🔥

Super well done!

such a beautiful bike, one day I'll have a Standert!

Hey Michael, I am beyond happy for you on this modern steel build. You built it passionately how you wanted and now you get to enjoy it. Ride it well👍🏾

Good job with a nice and detailed build video! Waiting for my Triebwerk in the old version with exposes cables. Going to build it up with a campy record group, enve build kit and shamal wheels.

Haha I watch and re-watch the same bar tape video too. Fabulous build 🚴‍♀️✨✨

I've been eyeing the Kreissäge RS for a while, I didn't even know they made a steel bike! Really Really enjoyable video.

I’ve always lusted for a Standert and this video makes me want one even more. Incredible edit, super entertaining and freakin’ rocket ship of a bike!

This is a gorgeous bike. I really want a modern steel frame now 😅

I like your video! Amazing job! Well done! 🎉

Loosening bolts with the torque wrench is like not aligining the tire logo with the valve stem. You simply just don't do it.

Sehr schönes Rad!! Ich fahre auch zwei Standerts und du hast sie sehr passend aufgebaut.

I really liked the video. I watch videos of bicycle assembly and wait for my bicycle parts to arrive from China. Thank you for the video!

Don’t use the torque wrench unless you have to and that’s so it stays on point you have to recalibrate it on occasion

Alright!!! Game on!

Really nice build and it has a beautiful color! Reminds me of my Erdgeschoss build, although it was a little bit more complicated to route brake lines and shifting cables through that space in the bottom bracket. I tried a lot of things, but getting shifting cables without beeing bent on the edge too much, i decided to cut the plastic sleeve a bit. Not sealed perfectly now, but its just not enough space for good shifting performance otherewise.

Nice build! I'm awaiting my Triebwerk frameset next week and can't wait to build it up during the winter. Sadly I will not be able to ride it for some months because of the long winter here in Norway. In the meantime I'll let it be a centerpiece in my livingroom!

Campagnolo Shamal C17 two ways are the best alloy wheels one can buy, 1440g, USB bearings, cup and cone, no need for tape, 17mm internal and 24mm external work best with 25-28mm tires, braking is exceptional as well. Campy ti skewers and you have a winning package

Das Titan - Stahl Thumbnail sah echt klasse aus

Great vid, really enjoyed watching this. FYI-those fcr8000 cranks are part of the Shimano recall...

new bike day :D

Sweet build as usual! I'm back in build mode because I'm getting a ride together for winter but stupid me lagged on some key orders and I'm still waiting for parts!! In the meantime I watch others build bikes... Regarding torque wrench use, yes you're not supposed to undo bolts with them. But if you're dealing with single digit torque values don't sweat it!!! It's mostly meat for those instances where your 30cm ratchet won't cut it undoing that M12 bolt really stuck on... But that 50cm torque wrench might do!! Problem is, at those torque values, it'll mess up the calibration. Between you and the GCN crew showing off Standert bikes, I'm tempted to land my next trip in Germany in Berlin to pick one up as a vacation ride and bring it back to Canada as a unique ride and souvenir! They're really nice!!!

Well done! About time generally. Thanks! Please tell us about the tubing.

question is what do you enjoy the most to ride!!! that all that matters!!

I’ve been looking into this frame for months now and finally a build video worth watching WITH THE WEIGHT of the bike! I thought this bike wouldn’t weight under 8kg so it’s really surprising to see that weight. Looking forward to more weight savings you can do on this bike to maybe taking it down to sub 7.5kg, without breaking the bank that is 😎… Amazing job with this build video too! Been a subsriber for a few months now and love your videos, hope you get more subscribers!

amazing video! thanks for the nice content! Living in Berlin as well, I ask myself where do you find all that sunshine? 😅

this looks incredibly cumbersome. I personally do not like the fully internal aesthetic so all the extra work seems absurd Im glad the steel frame lives on but im glad most steel frames dont hide their cables

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Triebwerk, and found it interesting that you said the Klein was probably your favorite...can you elaborate on that? Love your channel!

I thought metal frame manufacturers, whether titanium or steel, would resist the temptation to follow fashion and fully integrate cables into their frames. Seems I was wrong.

Nice build. Love the new Triebwerk! I have the Pfadfinder and also use that in a road setup. Have you done that with yours? If so, how does the ride compare?

nice....

New Triebwerk is simply awesome. Was thinking for a while pulling the trigger, when I first saw it. Even more as I love great steel frames (remember Columbus Genius tubes 💜). BUT finally decided going for a titanium frame. Why? Actually because even though I really like the looks, Standert was just kind of too much hipster style. And Titanium looks awesome, rides fab, frame was cheaper (from UK)…and after fully integrated aero carbon frames, liked the simplicity of external (though it‘s internal routed carbon habdlebars & internal routed from downtube). But hey, kudos for your Triebwerk built! It‘s looking great! Much love for the style 🙌🏽

Spectacular build, I like it a lot! The tube dimensions around the head tube are looking nicely balanced for a steel frame with integrated cable routing. What O.D. are the down tube and the top tube?

Very nice! I'm digging steel bikes with modern components. I am in the market for a Standert Triebwerk or anything similar (modern steel, think Speedvagen, Jaegher, Feather, ... just randomly naming some brands), but I really don't know, at this point, what I should consider as I'm afraid I'm missing out on options I haven't discovered yet. What made you go for a Standert and do you have other suggestions...?

18:28 i love my sram axs 😂✌

Actually I was looking at this bike review from Polish bike workshop in Krakow, and the finish of welding of this frame was criticize for bad quality... The weight of 99% of bikes, is depending purely on wheels, groupset, seat, handlebar, seatpost, and components mounted. The modern frames including fork are always in similar range 1000-1300g. Simple. Give me heavy frameset and 6.000 Euro and I will assemble bike well below 7kg : )

I love your build videos! Such chill - Also, could this bike frame have a more german sounding name "Standert Triebwerk" ? As a German speaking native i am not sure why they choose to "misspell" Standard, but must be a stylistic choice :) Reminds me of the Band Kraftwerk.

Beautiful build, man. Hoping to get hands on a steel frame built by a small steel frame maker from the Philippines. I am fromthe Philippines myself, but live in the UK. Where is the sunglasses from?

Awesome video!! I watched it from start to end. May I ask what handle bar did you use?

looks like you NEVER did a follow-up review of this bike! How has it worked? How do you like it? How are the ride characteristics? How about maintain-ability?

You presse and tightten the breaks , then realise presion . Is the spacer always needed ?

Hi, i have been watching your videos because i too like steel bikes, light weight bikes, good running bikes and most of anything i love debunking myths .i have few observations and comments, i have gone the same route and attempt to build under 7kg steel rim bike, while very easy and doable the ride rode nice but too many compromises, all the supper light carbon components come with limitations and while supper light are either too rigid or too flexy, . When did the same with a disc frame i was very disappointed, sure 8.kg steel disc bike sounds like a dream built but the oversize tubes, the oversized head set, the oversized fork and the overall rigidity of the frame turned the bike into a solid tourer but slow to react and definitely not fast or agile, again i was disappointed but did not give up . After experiencing many combinations i came to the conclusion that high quality steel frames have a place into today market and overall high performance scene when built right and not with silly goals in mind my perfect steel rim road bike is a Waterford Precision road Racer, Reynolds 853 and Platinum OX lugged frame 1680g size 52 , straight steel fork with SS drop outs 623g. alloy seatpost, stem,handlebar, Chorus 11 S groupset , Campagnolo Shamal c17 wheels. the wholes built weights 7.9kg but runs circle around the under 7kg bike, the frame is the boss, the combination of high quality steel frame with high quality alloy components , 28mm tires, makes for a perfect ride. The other steel bike is a Ritchey Swiss Cross team edition, cantilever brakes 1900g for the frame, 460g for carbon fork, built with 105 shifters, GRX 1X, Bontrager Paradigm Elite wheels, 8.4kg cycle cross or gravel weapon, for the steel frames to really shine and reward you with the STEEL IS REAL feeling you must match the components carefully, start with a high end steel frame, Waterford, Ritchey, are some of the best in the world , welcome your thoughts, also your experience from riding steel in different combinations. I also own several carbon and alu bikes, happy to chime in how i feel about these vs steel.

How is it different / similar to your Pfadfinder? Preference? Love your videos BTW

Great build! Just a quick question, do you think a mechanical groupset will fit in there? or it would be too tight in the bottom bracket?

BTW what had ruined the steef frames was always supper stiff carbon wheels( Winspace) Darimo supperlight carbon seatpost , stem and handlebar on the other hand alloy Uno stem, Zipp 70ergo handlebar, Tune seatpost, Shamal C17 wheels, Pirelli 28mm tubeless worked with the steel frame and transformed the ride, curious what other riders do with their steel frames.

Torque wrench should be used to tighten bolts only.

Installing and aligning shifters on a handlebar on a table, before you put it on a bike is TOP advice. Never like'd ruller method, it not so accurate.

I know the pain of cracking plastic on the shifters... tho i repaired it by pooring superglue over the hairline crack and now it dosent leak 😉

Very nice video, keep going! Which handlebar is it ? h9 or h10?

Quick question do you think it’s worth it to invest in the park tool bleed kit or is the generic versions being sold good enough for your everyday home mechanic?

somehow DI2 looks more complicated than a mechanical shifting system. ever thought about a sram axs?

7.9 is really nice. I was thinking it would be around 9kg

30:34 Hi Michael! Würdest du mir verraten welches Tool du für die Installation des Innenlagers verwendet hast? Danke!

Was hat der ganze Spaß hier eigentlich insgesamt gekostet? Also abseits der eigenen Arbeitszeit? :) Sieht super aus, rein optisch sieht ein Stahlrahmen so viel besser als ein Carbonrahmen aus.

I didn't see you brace the front derailleur against the frame/mount with the small screw. Di2 derailleurs generate massive torque and need to be braced so that it does not rotate (relative to the chain rings) during shifting.

What size seat post is this? Trying to build up a Triebwerk as well and the site is a bit confusing. Thank you!

Beautiful video and bike! I'm waiting for a Kreissäge Disc frame delivery in a few days, looking forward for my first dream build with the new 105 Di2... The only unknown to me is the grease/assembly paste to use for the T47 bottom bracket. The frame is aluminum. Some say standard bike grease works fine as it's alloy on alloy, others say Anti-Seize is needed. Any recommandation here ? Thanks for your support! Cheers

What size is this frame and what is your height & inseam? Ty in advance!

How does steel compare to aluminium or titanium? Where I live the roads are heavily salted so I'm worried a steel frame would rust

in a size 58 what would be the weight? I want tiny tubes and I am fed up with carbon but I want to be below 8 kilos. Probably with rim I might make it.

As a Sram eTap user I can't wrap my head around how Di2 is overcomplicated.

can this be compatible with mechanical groupset?

8kg con freni a disco buono 👏🏻👏🏻 che misura di telaio è?

Muss gestehen , im thumbnail habe ich "kein Concept" gelesen

Fairlight or Standert?

Is the fork steel?

What happened to the bubble wrap?

What size is the bike?

Interne Kabelführung sieht ja eventuell nett aus, macht aber keinen Spaß bei der Instalation. / Internal cable routing might look nice, but the instal sucks kinda.

It sounds mean, but consider to get a smaller glasses. Current one looks goofy and hilarious.

If steel is so great why the carbon fork, carbon handlebar and carbon rims?

This video would have been 30% shorter with SRAM wireless

You are missing more shots of the bike.

why don't you just use SRAM instead of routing stupid extra cables through the handlebars?

Ma da,usrali se, a imaju i od koga hihihihi

Still Israel!

Disc brakes on any steel frame is not right.

PNS und Standert. Wenn da nicht einer voll auf der Hipster Schiene fährt. Puh….

have you installed the newest gen groupset? bleeding the brakes is such a pleasure compared to that piece of shit last generation

i must say...standert's rear drop outs are very ugly and look outdated

1 hour long video and barely a single shot of the bike without you in the way of it. Big glasses and bigger ego. Let's see the actual bike next time
