Here is the basic pattern for the bag, you can scale to whatever size you want. Not a perfect pattern but it will get you started! docs.google.com/document/d/19eVB-0idXpy2-AkmspfJVpqn9Be3vjof3Ec8HjmYe7g/edit?usp=sharing
The frame the fork the geometry crankset, !! video speaks for itself, in the added touch at the end, let me just create a custom bag for this build really nice!
Impeccable build John. Like others said the attention to detail and professionalism when building this great machine is a joy to watch. I don't know if it's your own bike but if so, enjoy the miles. Cheers from the Netherlands
What a joy that was to watch! I can tell you put alot of care into the part selection and assembly all backed with plenty of knowledge. Love the quill stem and I think I need to include that in my next bike.
What exactly does tapping mean? I dont quite understand the first step he did with each threas. Im assuming the the holes come threaded from factory, so what did he doe with his tool? Remove paint that got into the thread?
Yeah that and the single bottle cage didn't make sense to me. I get two downtube shifters for full retro vibes, but I don't get half and half. But to each their own. Its still a lovely build otherwise, I just don't get the form or function of those choices.
Could you share any details on how you routed the dynamo cable? I have a 2022 Romanceur with a dynamo cable port on the fork leg, and can't for the life of me work out how to use it
Fantastic job and to take the time to video it, thank you. The one thing I am not sure on was after cleaning the chain and it goes into the crockpot and ice bath? Was that a wax and if so what kind?
12:44 I was obsessed with that skee mask album for a long time. Also I’m wondering if you have any problems running the hope rotors with the klampers…I’ve ordered parts and am about to start building a wheel set
Hi, I am fairly new on the whole building bikes world. I was wondering what do you add to the M4 screws at the beginning of the video. Is it grease? Sealing to prevent water from entering in the frame?
Lovely ride. That looks like the leather wrap Rene Herse sells. I highly recommend checking out Leh Cycles leather bar tape. It's seamless and way softer.
Lovely build. Personally would have more seatpost exposed. So different frame shape. However I appreciate this is based on a particular style and period in bike design history.
@@mangpots7284 simply the style of bike. Over history frame styles change. In the 1960’s was the fashion to have large frames and small amount of seatpost exposed. Then over time has become the trend to have lots of seatpost exposed and more compact frame with sloping top tube. Seat height from pedals to seat the same..seat tube shorter.
Wonderful build, I really loved it. One think that keept from being perfenct is the fact that you failed to align the big chain ring wih the crank arm, it hurt my eye. 😀
For the bag; what do you use as a stiffener under which the voile straps sit? Have been curious what material peopple use for this as well as what materials to use for the webbing which holds the stiffener :)
@@RonJigheimer ah awesome thanks for the info man! May I ask how you got the holes in the material in front of it (for the voile straps I presume?) cheers!
Sweet build man. This is a dream bike for me. Is it standard for braze-ons to come un-tapped like that on a new frame? Never bought a new frame so just curious 😅
They are tapped but often not perfect and have paint/clear other debris. I just ran a tap through to clean the threads. Not essential but a step I always take!
Both are friction. Two different brands and location for fun. I don’t use my front derailleur as much, so to save a run of cable I put it on the down tube, less weight. I like the Retroshift up top because I don’t have to change the position I am in to shift
@@RonJigheimer Wow thanks for the reply! Also how are you liking the Gevenalle shifters? I was worried about shifter getting in the way of braking or accidently shifting while trying to grab brake lever.
There was actually a little vent hole in the top of the plastic lid for my “Little Dipper”. The thermometer fit perfectly in there and I was able to adjust it so it was sitting in the middle of the wax for an accurate reading. Drilling a little hole would work just the same!
awesome bike and build! been eyeing the same bike from crust as well. I'm just wondering why you had to tap the mounting points, don't they come pre-tapped?
he's only removing paint from existing threads, it's called thread chasing, an important step, for any respectable shop, when building up a brand new frame or a repainted frame.
@@cosinus_square if you don't do that what are the consequences? Does the paint prohibit screws from beeing fit correctly or does it just make it a bit harder to get them in? Or does it potentially damage the thread in the long run, since there are extra particles grinding in the thread?
@@prokopf-9332 Yes, screws won't fit properly, if forced they may even seize or brake a braze-on mount in some cases if not careful. Some major things can go wrong as well like cross threading and misalignment of bottom bracket cups or rear derailleur mounting bolt. Incorrect fit and torque settings resulting in damage to carbon fibre components like cranks or seatposts, reduced performance and service life for disc brake calipers or bottom bracket bearings. Facing and thread chasing helps avoid damage to paint around threaded or press fit areas as well. OP is building this bike for himself but bike building is generally a service provided by bike shops to customers, if any damage results from the build process, the bike shop will be liable for damaging customer property. For example, damaging paint on a brand new Pegorreti frame can possibly make a bike shop liable for thousands in paint repair costs alone.Well worth spending the money and time for tools and process if one is part of this trade.
How much paint was in those threads? I just rattled canned like 5 coats in total on my bike and did not have to chase any threads. That wasn’t because I was super careful or good at painting either. If it makes you feel better than you do you! But I somehow doubt that was necessary- just trying to save you a step on your or anyone else’s next build. Super cool bike, by the way.
@@striknein not chasing holes isn’t cutting corners. People should do whatever they want with their bikes- I’m not trying to tell anyone they shouldn’t do something they want to do. I just question if it’s necessary.
@@weatheranddarkness I was able to loosen up the driveshell components enough to get tape around the axle/freehub that it was waterproof once tightened back up slightly. I wouldn’t even think about dipping it in degreaser if it were not 100% sealed. After dunking I peaked inside and it was dry…I would have taken it down to the driveshell but I do not have the tool. I appreciate your care for the the Chris King bearings though hahaha!
Question - did you purposely put the chainrings on in the incorrect position? That pin that sticks out from the outer ring is usually supposed to go behind the crankarm to prevent the chain from getting stuck if it falls to the outside of the chainring. But this is an absolute dream build!
can you upload a pattern for the bag to wetransfer? you could put it in the description. I see a few others have been asking for it too.

Somebody has a lot of money and they’ve spent it wisely. That’s a lifetime investment right there. Congratulations on the build. So nice to watch.
I've watched a lot of build videos. I've never seen anyone polishing hubs and chainrings 😍
When you busted out the jars and the instant pot I knew this build was going to be perfection!
The frame the fork the geometry crankset, !! video speaks for itself, in the added touch at the end, let me just create a custom bag for this build really nice!
A beauty......and a quill stem to please the aesthetes!
Stunning... both your talent and your build!
24/7 live stream of John Tapping poorly prepped for paint threading..... tune in now and every day all day long :P
Beautiful bike and exceptional attention to detail. For my preference canti brakes and different shifter set up the rest is spot on.
Thanks Jason, curious what your shifter setup would be?
Impeccable build John. Like others said the attention to detail and professionalism when building this great machine is a joy to watch. I don't know if it's your own bike but if so, enjoy the miles. Cheers from the Netherlands
I try to ride it as much as I can! Have a good one, thank you.
What a bike.
It has all the components you can dream off.
It must be so nice to ride, beautiful!
You're a madman. Exceptional craft and basically no views. An excellent bike
Your work is to perfect brother. If I'm the owner of this bike I'm not going to ride it. I will park beside my bed..🤭🤗
Man I love this color, I wish they would bring it back…
Crust Rivendelleur. Stunning build. 👍
hold this one close to the vest the longer you have it the more miles you put on it the more valuable it becomes
Now, this bike is too nice for riding outside.
What a joy that was to watch! I can tell you put alot of care into the part selection and assembly all backed with plenty of knowledge. Love the quill stem and I think I need to include that in my next bike.
Thanks!
Attention to detail! Wow.😊
YOUR ON TO SOMETHING GOOD..................................bravo
That is a beautiful bike!
clean build, very well done!
I find it funny that the first five minutes was just literally tapping threads.
Funny peculiar/boring.
My forearms did not find it as amusing
What exactly does tapping mean? I dont quite understand the first step he did with each threas. Im assuming the the holes come threaded from factory, so what did he doe with his tool? Remove paint that got into the thread?
@@prokopf-9332 removes the paint from the thread
It was mesmerising.
Sick, do the Bombora next! 🙂↕️
In the works
Why the front derailleur shifter on the downtube?
Yeah that and the single bottle cage didn't make sense to me. I get two downtube shifters for full retro vibes, but I don't get half and half. But to each their own. Its still a lovely build otherwise, I just don't get the form or function of those choices.
where did you get the Retroshift shifters?? I can't find them anywhere!
Could you share any details on how you routed the dynamo cable? I have a 2022 Romanceur with a dynamo cable port on the fork leg, and can't for the life of me work out how to use it
Proper, well done sir
that is some build.
what price for a bike and build like that.
genius at work i love it.
Excellent watch! Thank you
Fantastic job and to take the time to video it, thank you. The one thing I am not sure on was after cleaning the chain and it goes into the crockpot and ice bath? Was that a wax and if so what kind?
It was called “Molten Speed Wax” help up nice.
12:44 I was obsessed with that skee mask album for a long time.
Also I’m wondering if you have any problems running the hope rotors with the klampers…I’ve ordered parts and am about to start building a wheel set
They are working great, no squeaks or squeals
beautiful build!
Beautiful build--wonderful attention to detail! Any tricks/tips for mounting the light on the front rack?
great build!
Gorgeous
Any chance of sharing the pattern of that bag?
Hey I am on a vacation right now. Be happy to post when I am back
Hey how should I send it? It a pdf file
wow...super nice!
Hi, I am fairly new on the whole building bikes world. I was wondering what do you add to the M4 screws at the beginning of the video. Is it grease? Sealing to prevent water from entering in the frame?
Amazing Bike! Love the front bag. Can you share the bag template?
Thank you.
Good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Any desire to add mudguards/fenders? Would look smart with some honjos.
Yes I have some under my bed and a rear Son dynamo light I need to install
very nice build!
Lovely ride. That looks like the leather wrap Rene Herse sells. I highly recommend checking out Leh Cycles leather bar tape. It's seamless and way softer.
Hey I’ll check it out thanks for the suggestion
is it necessary then to take out the bearings to de-anodize the hubs?>
Kinda of a pain, but I would say yes, this is the best practice.
Lovely build. Personally would have more seatpost exposed. So different frame shape. However I appreciate this is based on a particular style and period in bike design history.
is there a negative effective if the seatpost is that low?
@@mangpots7284 simply the style of bike. Over history frame styles change. In the 1960’s was the fashion to have large frames and small amount of seatpost exposed.

I am sorry to let you down Redi! We live and we learn, I fixed the chainring.
For the bag; what do you use as a stiffener under which the voile straps sit? Have been curious what material peopple use for this as well as what materials to use for the webbing which holds the stiffener :)
I used a fiberglass batten that is from the sailing world
@@RonJigheimer ah awesome thanks for the info man! May I ask how you got the holes in the material in front of it (for the voile straps I presume?) cheers!
Great bike, great parts, nice video. Is it just me, or is that bottom bracket a little draggy? 14:46
Yes, but the preload is adjusted in the following scenes to the proper spec
How much did the whole thing end up weighing?
Sweet build man. This is a dream bike for me. Is it standard for braze-ons to come un-tapped like that on a new frame? Never bought a new frame so just curious 😅
They are tapped but often not perfect and have paint/clear other debris. I just ran a tap through to clean the threads. Not essential but a step I always take!

Why did you choose to use two such different types of shifters?
Both are friction. Two different brands and location for fun. I don’t use my front derailleur as much, so to save a run of cable I put it on the down tube, less weight. I like the Retroshift up top because I don’t have to change the position I am in to shift
Hi care to share the process on how you polished the chainrings? i know these vbc chainrings only come in black.
You can see the polishing in the video. Just a two compound polish. Started by deanodizing with Zeps brand degreaser
❤️🧡💛💚💙 DAAANNGGGG…… ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 ++++ 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Why do you have tap the treads if all of the bosses are already treaded?
Did you strip the paint from the white industries chain rings? How'd you do it?
Yea with degreaser- Zeps
Please post more bike content.
How did you make rear derailleur long cage?
Stock Shimano baby!
I just got the same bike! The color is so amazing in person. Where did you get the bolts to fill all the holes?
how is the rene herse rando bars?
I would say 7/10 comfort and 10/10 for the looks so they are staying
@@RonJigheimer Wow thanks for the reply! Also how are you liking the Gevenalle shifters? I was worried about shifter getting in the way of braking or accidently shifting while trying to grab brake lever.
what was the steerer tube cutting for?
Hey John, what is the tool you used for thread chasing?
A small metric tap holder set found on Amazon - a.co/d/48ufHLG
ben, is that a long cage dura ace r/d or did you splice a cage from a different shimano r/d?
It’s a 7800 long cage
-John
Where can I find the screws you use for all of the mounting points on the fork and bottle bosses?
Look for M5 x 10mm Stainless Steel Head Hex Cap Screws
Some on Amazon- a.co/d/dlVwRje
Did you put a little hole for the meat thermometer in the mini crock pot lid? I might do that to mine but use a analog one
There was actually a little vent hole in the top of the plastic lid for my “Little Dipper”. The thermometer fit perfectly in there and I was able to adjust it so it was sitting in the middle of the wax for an accurate reading. Drilling a little hole would work just the same!

I really enjoy it, I took it off an old build because I like it so much.
been wondering, are crust bikes powdercoated? Thanks!
Paint on this one
good

Porn is illegal on the RUclips and I have no idea how you we're able to upload that.
These bikes are basically a 1990's trek 700? $100 on craigslist for a complete bike. Maybe another $200 if you want to make the cockpit better.
good luck trying to find one Cowboy
очень сочно
Yo this is the gayest build I’ve seen in my life.
