Well isn't this just incredible! I love how it was full circle, excellent story telling. I also loved how so much time was spent in the front, middle and back. I would say aside from those who DNF'd, we really got a look into everyone's experiences.
That turned out well. Something Iike I might have done! 1979 steel road classic, bought face to face with a later famous builder of Masi, Fuso, Hall. Instead of cold setting the 126 mm dropouts, I cut down the cones and spacers and freehub, and lockring of the rear hub. Instead of a 6 speed freewheel, it got a 9 of 10 cassette!. The wheel got a 700c rim. Good riddence to tubulars! The 1973 Campy rear derailleur didn't index, as Ernesto Campagnolo couldn't do. No problem, the stock friction shifters work fine with 10 speed chain and shaved down cassette spacers. The 6 speed movimento centrale also didn't care. Milled the crank spider to move the chainrings closer.The 79 fd band cracked and limit screws froze making adjustment impossible. An 11 speed chorus made a great substitute. The frame was powder coated and new decals were printed. The dm logo on the headtube should help with the maker riddle! Yes, ancient history! Bought frame at 19 Y/o.
That is the best bikepacking adventure movie I have seen, hands down. So impressed with the story telling, scenic shots just brilliant. I hope it finds its way to some film festivals. Just started building my dedicated bikepacking rig and took it for it's first ride on the weekend, I am worried this film might spark some silly ideas.......
@kiwiAdventure100 thanks for that, I appreciate the feedback. We did the film festival thing when I finished the film, we got a Special Jury prize at the NZ Mountain Film Festival, and we’re selected for 3 other festivals. Now it’s effectively two years old it becomes more of a historical document I guess. There to encourage, inspire, or maybe put off people like yourself! All the best, Rob
Brilliant. Chapeau to all the riders, their support crews, the organisers and to the producers who captured the very essence of the race and event. 5 stars.
Meh, showed up in my feed, I guess the music and the vibe is just not my cup of tea. Subject matter wise, the algorithm got it right; but something about this production doesn't sit well. Thanks for the effort nonetheless.
