Looking forward to see you rip this thing and be good to get comparisons with dvo over fox and the bike over the druid! Good luck with race season dude
@@LewisBuchanan - Speaking of No Joke.. Seeing you throw that Shore around.. Man, I can't wait. ... and I'm sure you're buzzin' for that trip out here to Vancouver / Whistler / Squamish / Kamloops 🤞
Good things to come Lewis, great play bike for you but can't wait to see you riding their other models that suit your style. Ps. I'd be mentioning Norco first every time then the gear hanging off it second.😉👍
Yes Lewis, like the new whip bro! Frame looks sweet in that green. And you've got a choice bag of bits on there man👌 I agree on the black grips. Lookin forward to seein you rippin again! Get it sent lad! 🙏✌
Love the DVO forks and shock; they look so well engineered. Would be interesting to see a video of how you do the initial suspension setup (beyond setting sag).
Epic build! I love that you go with the alternative components like DVO, TRP, E13 not the obvious market leaders... also like you're using the BrandX head set. It will just work fine :)
Could you make a video where you explain how to gain traction on social media as well as what sponsors love to see? As well which interests sponsors more, racing or media
Honestly the piece that keeps the bars from turning is so sick hahaha! I have been on DVO stuff for a few years, in time you will get your settings dialed! That fork tracks so good!
love seeing your passion and appreciation for what you have achieved!! looking forward to watching another year of you progressing. Just remember later on the in year to take in the moment.
You need to change the PNW to gold logos on the bars. Would match up with the logos on the frame and look pimp (and a little less FOX)! The pedal colour too needs to change. totally out of sync with the rest of the bike. When you get your new frames give everyone a heads up on the colour so suggestions can be made. Other than that, looks sweet!
@@LewisBuchanan Would love to hear how you go about talking to brands about sponsorship as a youtuber. We have never really done it and would love to learn from a pro!
Love the colour combination, have you considered frame protection? I wrapped mine in invis at build, and its stood up to the worst of the uk's conditions well. Just keeps the finish looking fresh despite minimal consideration for scratches during washes etc 👌
Been looking at the Norco Optic, definitely think it will be my next bike. Love the green on green that you did with the bike build. Saw the DVO fork you put on was 150 mm of travel. How does the 10 mm more of travel in the fork affect the climbing/decent?
What about the sight?? Will you get one too? I have it an it is an ABSOLUTE beast🔥pure enduro machine even with the travel that it has a love racing the ednuros on it😆
Sweet build, looking at the trp12. Does that adjustable clutch keep the bike nice and quiet, I'm running sram now and when it gets rough the derailleur is flopping all over the place
Orange grips 👌 good luck on the new bike. Look forward to seeing the season pan out!
Thanks!
Yes orange grips and orange hubs plz!!!!
👌🏽👌🏽
Looking forward to see you rip this thing and be good to get comparisons with dvo over fox and the bike over the druid! Good luck with race season dude
thanks
The callipers matching the hubs 👌. Green mallets would have been nice
👌🏽🔥
Tubeless tyres seating properly...True ASMR gold :) Nice kit.
Haha! Thanks
Can't wait to see the Shore you get. That optic looking sweet though.
Thanks!
will be the Range
@@hummer694life he said he'll get both
I have to say.. Tried a bunch of grips and the PNW Loam Grips are by far my favorite. - No joke!
Hell yes! They are super comfy
@@LewisBuchanan - Speaking of No Joke.. Seeing you throw that Shore around.. Man, I can't wait.
... and I'm sure you're buzzin' for that trip out here to Vancouver / Whistler / Squamish / Kamloops 🤞
Thanks! I’m stoked to get to bc! Fingers crossed
Love the silver bling with green, black and orange
Thanks!
Looks cool! ( E-thirteen chain guide ) ? Just noticed it wasn't on the bike 😂 👌Orange PNW would stand out more 👍
Thanks! No guide yet!
Pretty sure he has an oval chainring so you cant run a guide
Na it’s a standard 34t chainring. No oval
@@LewisBuchanan 34tooth aye? Big power for those trail rides 💪🏼
@@harveylee8943 I think Absolute Black make an oval compatible chain guide
Looks insane you should get some green pnw logos on the bars to match the forks. The frame colour looks mint
Now that would be cool!
Maxxis yellow hubs they could be really trick! The same for the PNW handelbar logos. Nice one Lewis!
Thanks!
Build looks amazing. I was wondering if you can get green pedals that would match the DVO green. I9 are so sick too!
Thanks!
Good things to come Lewis, great play bike for you but can't wait to see you riding their other models that suit your style.
Ps. I'd be mentioning Norco first every time then the gear hanging off it second.😉👍
Thanks! Playful bike for sure. Riding videos coming in future
Bike looks sweet Lewis some quality components fitted. Looking forward to seeing you shredding it 🤟.Keep up the great work. Good luck with 2021
Thanks ally
Wasn't sure about the silver hubs, but with calipers and disc on 👊 boom!
👌🏽👌🏽thanks
I run dhf front and rear on my hardtail, wont lie mate sketchy in winter 😂 drifts super easy though 👍
Nice haha
Yes Lewis, like the new whip bro!
Frame looks sweet in that green.
And you've got a choice bag of bits on there man👌
I agree on the black grips.
Lookin forward to seein you rippin again!
Get it sent lad! 🙏✌
Thanks 🙏🏼
Orange grips for sure! Tell us your opinion about the DVO
👌🏽 I will do
Love the DVO forks and shock; they look so well engineered. Would be interesting to see a video of how you do the initial suspension setup (beyond setting sag).
Thanks! Yes coming in the future!
Epic build! I love that you go with the alternative components like DVO, TRP, E13 not the obvious market leaders... also like you're using the BrandX head set. It will just work fine :)
Thanks!
Great looking bike. I just picked up a purple Optic. This build is inspiring my own!!
Congrats, can’t wait to see you on the shore 🙌🏻
Thanks!
Lewis doesn't seem like type of person to get too much into the looks of bikes, more just pinning it. Hopefully riding videos soon!
Bike looks sick! I think black or silver pedals to tie into the other bits would look choice.
Thanks
You are getting the new redesigned range?
Awesome bike dude!🔥🔥 The Norco Sight is my dream bike too.
Sick!
Could you make a video where you explain how to gain traction on social media as well as what sponsors love to see?
As well which interests sponsors more, racing or media
Possibly but different things work for different people.
dvo suspension ftw!
Hell yeah
Honestly the piece that keeps the bars from turning is so sick hahaha! I have been on DVO stuff for a few years, in time you will get your settings dialed! That fork tracks so good!
Hell yeah I agree
love seeing your passion and appreciation for what you have achieved!! looking forward to watching another year of you progressing. Just remember later on the in year to take in the moment.
Thanks mark!
I dub the new bike Gallagher
It looks kinda like a watermelon with the green and red pedals
🍉
Jhees love the colours. Orange and green is a combo
Thanks!
Nice bike! May I know what is the travel of the forl? Thank you! 😀
Bike looks sweet Lewis, will look even better when your shredding down your locals at Inners
Thanks!
Love to hear you get the Shore 💯🤟
Love the build
Oh that’s coming
Absolutely stellar build & attention to details! I actually like the silver hubs with those brake calipers
Love the green
Thanks 💪🏼
super stoked for you.
Thanks
love the build (heck yes dvo) but i would get black or green mallets
Happy new bike day, looks awesome :)
Thanks Dean
You need to change the PNW to gold logos on the bars. Would match up with the logos on the frame and look pimp (and a little less FOX)!

That green looks so sick!!
Thanks!
Yellow grips with the green, make it a retro racing lotus style colour scheme 👍
Now that would stand out 🔥
Awesome looking build, Toss up between the forks and the hubs. Barry Nova Scotia Canada
Thanks Barry!!!
That’s a beautiful build. I just picked up a Optic Shimano build and am surprised how playful it is for such a long bike.
Awesome! Thanks
Looks rad Lew 🤙🏻
Keep the black grips, orange will scream ‘trying to hard’ 😉
Thanks!!!
The bike looks soooooooooooo good
Thanks!
Bike looks sick man! Looking forward to watching you shred!
Thanks
@@LewisBuchanan Would love to hear how you go about talking to brands about sponsorship as a youtuber. We have never really done it and would love to learn from a pro!
Thanks! Yeah maybe in the future for sure!
The Hubs in Orange would look sick 🔥🔥
Ooooft
Awesome build man!! I think that an acid green bolt set would top it off 🔥😎
Thanks! Very nice 👌🏽👌🏽
what happens to your forbiddens now?
They are sold 😊
Gotta say the greens are nice
👌🏽👌🏽
Nice one on the mention wi the gmbn vid. Thats if youve seen it.
Nice man! I've been so keen to see this video! Speaks to the job well done on the channel and the content. Keep it up duder
Thanks Steven!
@@LewisBuchanan Hell yeah dude, looking forward to the ride!
Thanks! Appreciate the nice comments!
Beautiful bike
Thanks Thomas!
Hell yeah, nothing like a Lew bike build
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Absolute sick build... can’t wait to see you on the shore! 🔥🤟
Thanks!
Funny that your running companies I myself am interested in, I run pnw grips and I love them, I’m looking into getting a Dvo fork too 😂
Hell yes!
I really want to try a jadex coil on my 153
👌🏽👌🏽
Bike looks sooooo sick! DVO looks great👌
Thanks!
Love the colour combination, have you considered frame protection? I wrapped mine in invis at build, and its stood up to the worst of the uk's conditions well. Just keeps the finish looking fresh despite minimal consideration for scratches during washes etc 👌
Thanks, I haven’t before. Maybe I will now though
Why the new Range isn't release yet?
Such a cool bike, already looking forward to seeing you ride it
Thanks!
Looking good mate 👍👍
Thanks!
What a stunning bike bud may I ask you run 29 tyres what width you use? Keep awesome videos coming
Thanks! 2.5 width
hey Lewis! Thanks for the vid. Any reason you chose to mount the shock that way vs how the Optics are shipping to consumers?
Id take that unused purpled witch craft in the back just to help you save some space. AHAH nice build tho keep up the good content Sir!!!
Thanks!
@@LewisBuchanan put the orange grips on the Druid , to match the forks🤤
Haha I don’t have the Druid anymore!
@@LewisBuchanan but ...but.... I seen it in the back 🥺😭
Haha. Gone now
Absolutely sick. Stoked for you, dude.
Thanks a bunch!
Man this is awesome! Really looking forward for your next shredding videos ✌
Thanks!
This bike looks sick!
Thanks
Nice. Now out in the forest with ya!
👌🏽👌🏽
Been looking at the Norco Optic, definitely think it will be my next bike. Love the green on green that you did with the bike build. Saw the DVO fork you put on was 150 mm of travel. How does the 10 mm more of travel in the fork affect the climbing/decent?
Thanks! That’s rad. Yeah it feels great for climbing and even better for decent honestly! I’m stoked.
Why aren't you riding the sight?
a red hub for a red sight would be sick
Oooft hell yeah
Dhf roll better on the rear?
Yeah! But I’d prefer a maxxis assegai
lookin' sweet! 😎 loving the forks!
Thanks!
What about the sight?? Will you get one too? I have it an it is an ABSOLUTE beast🔥pure enduro machine even with the travel that it has a love racing the ednuros on it😆
That’s the plan!
0:14 - that freshly mopped floor though
Well spotted 🤙🏽
You mentioned that you will be getting a Range, the range hasn’t been updated in quite some time, how come you’d choose that over a sight?
Probably the new range that hasn't been released
Where can I get a shock free frame in green in the UK?
Sweet build, looking at the trp12. Does that adjustable clutch keep the bike nice and quiet, I'm running sram now and when it gets rough the derailleur is flopping all over the place
Yup super quiet!
How much does it weigh
Nice video
That looks awesome.
Thanks
That rig is!🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would like matching hubs-frame color
👌🏽👌🏽
You are gonna have a shore?!!!! Sick what model single or dual crown?
Hell yeah. It’ll be single crown
Are you running the standard stroke shock, or did you up it a bit to get a little more travel matching the longer 150 up front?
It’s 125mm rear! Standard travel
Loving the bike Lewis 👍
Thanks!
No coil shock?
Nope
Looking cleaaannn 🔥🔥
👌🏽
Thanks
I would go for Santa Cruz NOMAD or Nukeproof GIGA instead.
Lucky lucky boy mint bike mate 👍👌🚴
Thanks
What happens with your old bikes always wondered that when people get new bike sponsors
Sell them on 👌🏽😊
@@LewisBuchanan cool fair enough
What pump is that? looks pretty solid
DVO’s own shock pump
Nice Lewis. Do you run tyre inserts at all ? If so what has worked well for you before ?
Sometimes. I will this year though yes. Usually huck norros
Norris*
Yes worked great. Saved some tough impacts before
PNW orange grips, please! 😁
Yewwww
It looks so sick!!!!
Thanks!
no coil ?
So what bike feels better I personally think forbidden bikes look so much better in my opinon
Fair enough 😊 each to their own right
DHF instead of assegai this year? Or just for the shorter travel machines?
Just all I had at the time! Assegai is still my go to man!
The DHF does roll a little better so probably not a bad choice for the shorter travel rig anyway. Keen to see a riding vid ASAP :)
Thanks
Sick man 🤘🏿🔥
Thanks 👌🏽
how come you're getting a range when all the enduro team rides the sight?
Wonder if it’s their new “range”. They didn’t update the range last year I don’t think, where the sight/optic did see a major update.
R u getting the norco dh bike also
Not right now
