I just placed an order for a Sam with Rivendell, and now I'm watching and watching again the few videos available on RUclips. Thankfully, yours is a beautiful watch.
I keep coming back and watching this masterpiece of restoration as I am working on getting me a A. Homer Nilsen 58 cm frame after measuring my PBH at 90cm..this is just great...you didi a great job with the filming and editing and the music is wonderful. I am certain I will be back to watch this video again, it is so relaxing. Cheers.
Beautiful build and such a calm, relaxing recording - thoroughly enjoyed it. A fun fact: I believe the Crane bell is pronounced ee-neh (as opposed to ee-nee as you said). In Japanese "ee-neh" is like saying "that's nice" or "isn't it nice?"
COOL brake toe-in hack using a rubber band around the leading edge of the pad. The brake levers are very nice. Likewise with the twine binder on the bartape. Magnifique!
That was a great watch! And you surprised me with your selection of music to close out the video. Clearly your sense of aesthetics is not limited to bikes.
Thanks a bunch! Um, so sorry about the pedals. These are based on the classic Suntour bmx pedals from the mid-80s. Is there a pedal you think would look better?
@@ericmarth I don't have a specific pedal in mind. The bear traps just seem a little garish while the bike appears elegant. Hate is strong word lol but hyperbole is fun
This is really great! Thank you very much for sharing. You have a lovely shop setup. I enjoyed the stop frame parts coming out of the boxes. Very clear, informative video and voice over. : ) Enjoy!
Great bike, great build and well presented, thank you! A small sidenote from an old german bike enthusiast: I allways rub new innertubes and inside tires with talcum powder. It’s the perfect care for rubber to stay flexible and „fresh“ for years and years. It’s the same „white stuff“ you notice on nearly every new innertube, talkum. And stubborn new rubber grips slide easy on and off with poring some rubbingalcohol or windex between handlebar and grips. Enjoy your ride!
Thank you so much! I usually rub my tubes down with some fine dirt from the yard, I don't always show it in the videos. And sometimes I forget! I'll try the rubbing alcohol trick. Someone even said to try T9 Boeshield chain lube!
@@ericmarth ya, give it a try, it works fine. A wooden stick (from BBQ is perfekt and doesnt scratch) between bar and grip and the alcohol does the rest. And to install new grips shake some alcohol in the grip and put it on. In Short time the Fluid is gone and everything is fine. No struggl anymore, 🍻
On most spindle type BB’s you can use the crank bolt to hold the removal tool on, provided you can rig up some various washers to space it out correctly.
Thank you so much Jon! A few months ago I thought I didn't know enough to compare the bikes but I'm getting a better feel. Maybe someday, thanks for the request.
Bravo. This is beautiful work. The video and the bike are one. Love how this is the opposite of most bike videos. Your voice and narration are so welcoming...and oh the crickets! By the way, the bike is stunning. I mean shellacing the bar tape! Anyway...I am planning on buying a Riv. Most likely a Roadini. Been in touch with them to get the frame as soon as available. Your work here is inspiring me. Thank you for this. Cheers.
@@ericmarth cheers. I may have questions for you if that's ok! Ironically, I run a bike shop, but we don't sell hardly anything we would use for such a bike, ha! I'll be hitting up my suppliers while feeling like a newbie. Enjoy the ride. Would love to see further videos from you! Cheers
@@DirectorLJ Please let me know if you have questions, I'll do my best to help. And I'm planning some more videos, hoping to have something to share before too long.
You've got good taste in bikes bro. They should bring back that black paint!! I have a Trek 750 MultiTrack from 1994 I bought on Craigslist, excellent condition. It's like a Roadeo or Homer, I'm guessing. Steel is the way to go. Thx for the content. I want to take a trip to Walnut Creek soon and ride all the bikes for a couple of days, I can't buy blind for $3500 new.
Thanks, Scotty! Your MultiTrack sounds sweet, how do you have it set up as far as bars and tires? Having a chance to try out some of the bikes first is definitely the way to go if you can!
@@ericmarth Hi Eric, bikes are so subjective, but I will say this. I think the Trek Multi Track 750 is still a gem in the used bike market. Trek is my favorite old-school bike brand, and they outfitted the 750 with very solid components, not the best but still damn good. The MultiTrack line was one of the first "hybrid" or "gravel bikes". Adjusted for inflation in the 1990's the bike would cost between $1200-1400 today, so it was an expensive bike-shop bike then and most owners took very good care of them which is why they can still be a good value today. I bought mine last year from the original owner, and he replaced the grip-shifters and handlebar and put on Oury grips when he took delivery in 1994 or 1995. The handlebars are like the Nitto Wavie that Riv sells. I dont think the bike was ever ridden, but it was well-stored and maintained. The tires I've used so far have been Continental Ride Tours (cheap tire, but so far so good) and Soma Shikoros which I bought from Rivendell. I'm not a bike expert or connoisseur, but riding this 750 has been a great experience. It was the first bike I road with 700 wheels. Its the most expensive bike I've ever ridden (in 90's dollars), best quality frame and components. It's fast as hell, it feels so solid. If you see one for sale in your area you might want to check it out, it should be lighter than the Hillborne & Appaloosa. And it will fit a 45 tire. I think their values will continue to rise as well. (I paid $600 for mine in NYC during the bike-craze-shortage in 2021, you can get them for less though. The owner was 3 subway stops away from me so I could not pass it up.) Is it realistic to hope to find a 30 year old bike in good condition that fits you? Maybe not. Rivendell is kind of a custom bike shop, I think they're still worth the money.
When you was trying to remove the old bottom bracket I was thinking to myself, clamp the BB in a vise and turn the entire frame. I seen it done that way and it seems to be pretty easy. I bet you felt like a million bucks riding that bike, it sure looked like it. 👍👍
Love your videos- please do more! Question: at 6:46 you’re installing brake pads and have a rubber band on the back half of the pad. Is that for setting proper towe in? Thanks!
They're definitely handy, I got the tip from Russ at Path Less Pedaled, who got it from RJ the Bike Guy. And cheaper than the official handlebar tool from Nitto.
This is so good...great video and great build...I was wondering what is the reason for putting a little dirt on the inner tube during installation. Cheers and got yourself a subscriber.
Very well done! The video and bike, both. Appreciate the chill, low key approach. Think maybe bikes can reflect their owners' personality? Wishing you many happy miles at 'PartyPace' hah
This bike is so beautiful. I try to built from a Cinelli bike from 2022 a vintage one and I asking you , where do you bought this browned coloured hoods? They will fitt to my honey coloured Brooks B 17 saddle and my leather bar tape.
Thank you, Sven. The levers with the brown hoods are Tektro TRP RRL SL levers. As of today (27 January 2023) they are in stock at Rivendell and directly from Tektro. Sounds like a nice match to your honey saddle and leather tape!
Hi! They're called lockring pliers. I used them because I had a pair at hand. They're not the best for spreading a stem and sometimes they slip. But they can be easier to find than the Nitto stem spreaders, though the Nitto specific tool is superior.
Very well done. Great all rounder. Especially like the Tuxedo color combo; classy. Nice score on yours and an excellent build. What is your opinion of the Herse Tires now that you have some miles on the bike? I have a Rivendell Hunqapillar and my wife has a Cheviot. Great bikes and company. I have wanted a Hillborne for some time, maybe next year. Thanks for the video.. from So Oregon.
Hi Jeff, thanks for writing and I'm glad you enjoyed the video and build. I do like the Herse tires, comfortable, nice traction. And I appreciate the way they look. I run them around 37psi with tubes. I've had two flats over the past year but both followed crashes. I'd love to ride a Hunqapillar sometime, that's very sought-after frame these days!
@@ericmarth Hi Eric, I am on the Rene Herse news letter list and frequently get updates about their tires. Their tire accomplishments with long distant riders is impressive. Currently I am using Schwalbe.. I am looking for toughness and grip in a tire as I mostly "explore" which takes me to all kinds of terrain. So Oregon (I am in Jacksonville) has every, and any, kind of road and climate. My Hunqapillar is a 2011 , I believe that is when I got it. It is the original elephant grey and kidney bean red single top tube.. with 700C wheels. .. dirt drop stem with Nitto Noodle bars and of course a Brooks saddle. It still looks like a new bike. My PBH is the same as Grant Petersen's so it makes ordering easy. The SAM may be next. Can't have to many bikes. Crashes, ah yes, crashes. Two kinds of riders.. those who have been down, those who are going down. I've been down so hopefully my future is clear. Looking forward to more of your videos.. Liked and subscribed. Keep the rubber side down. From Southern Oregon AKA The State of Jefferson PS Some of my other bikes are 1981 Miyata Aero Pro much modified...Bought new.. it is my "crash test" bike, hence the occasional remodels . 1983 SOMEC.. somewhat rare.. pearl white over chrome, blue pinstriping, pantographed. All Campy Now putting it back to EROICA specs. 1992 GIANT CFM III their first intro of a Carbon Framed Mt Bike with alloy lugs. Bought new Mint. 1992 Specialized Epic Alley,, also a first in Carbon. I am gifting this to my grandson...too techno for my taste. Another near mint bike with a bit of history. These two bikes are unique so I kept them but they both cured me of Carbon . I much prefer Steel.
once i laid eyes on your creation bliss inducing waves that i world be able to ride for all eternity rose just over the horizon
This is a feeling we all need riding at the end of a long day with that last climb coming into view!
i bow before your eternal greatness bliss inducing nirvana has taken hold
I am merely mortal but I am trying to make some nice content, here. Namaste!
Thanks you for this wonderful soothing bike video. I love the crickets and your attention to detail. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks, Paul!
Just beautiful. I have a Sam as well, but this is just special.
Thank you so much, Edwin! Enjoy your Sam
Dude! This is like a Riv Zen Meditation 🙂. Love it! Oh, and beautiful bike.
Some people have said ASMR, but I like RZM ☺️ Thanks for watching!
a seminal work of incredible significance and will increase in value over TIME GOAT

Nicely done!
Thanks, Russ!

The most enjoyable RUclips video in a long time! Beautiful build.

I keep coming back and watching this masterpiece of restoration as I am working on getting me a A. Homer Nilsen 58 cm frame after measuring my PBH at 90cm..this is just great...you didi a great job with the filming and editing and the music is wonderful. I am certain I will be back to watch this video again, it is so relaxing. Cheers.
Thank you so much! Enjoy your Homer build!
Beautiful build and such a calm, relaxing recording - thoroughly enjoyed it. A fun fact: I believe the Crane bell is pronounced ee-neh (as opposed to ee-nee as you said). In Japanese "ee-neh" is like saying "that's nice" or "isn't it nice?"
Thank you Julian, I didn't realize! I will start saying "ee-neh" ;)
COOL brake toe-in hack using a rubber band around the leading edge of the pad. The brake levers are very nice. Likewise with the twine binder on the bartape. Magnifique!
Wow, thanks a bunch!
Great video, I would love to see more of the shop at some point! Keep up the good work!
I really like your videos. They’re so relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. Just makes me happy.
I'm very glad to hear it, thanks for saying so.
10/10 video bud! - Love the look of your place and your taste in bikes! Hope for more of your content in the future!
Oliver! Thanks, that's real nice of you to say. I've got more videos planned.
I confess I externalized a surprise vocal noise seeing the long reach side pull Tektros with the canti posts...

@@faroukr Ben's Cycle and Rene Herse have em in stock as of tonight!
Can’t thank you enough for replying. I had no idea what this tool was called and already given up on properly adjusting my handlebars.
Did you use elastic bands around the brake pads to help toe the cantis properly?? Genius if so, I'd never considered such a simple hack!
Yep, just something I picked up from the Calvin Jones / Park Tool vids, I think.
Very cool!

Crashes, ah yes, crashes. Two kinds of riders.. those who have been down, those who are going down. I've been down so hopefully my future is clear.
Looking forward to more of your videos.. Liked and subscribed.
Keep the rubber side down. From Southern Oregon AKA The State of Jefferson
PS Some of my other bikes are
1981 Miyata Aero Pro much modified...Bought new.. it is my "crash test" bike, hence the occasional remodels .
1983 SOMEC.. somewhat rare.. pearl white over chrome, blue pinstriping, pantographed. All Campy Now putting it back to EROICA specs.
1992 GIANT CFM III their first intro of a Carbon Framed Mt Bike with alloy lugs. Bought new
Mint.
1992 Specialized Epic Alley,, also a first in Carbon. I am gifting this to my grandson...too techno for my taste. Another near mint bike with a bit of history.
These two bikes are unique so I kept them but they both cured me of Carbon . I much prefer Steel.
How did you remove the sugino logo?
I used a decal scraper (square razor blade in an aluminum handle). Carefully scraped it away, came up easily, no scratches.
link for that home made bike repair stand? i'm holding out for a real one but this is probably more cost effective for my use.
This is something I put together, maybe I'll do a build video!
