I’m just glad you went this way instead of “this season I’m going to ride an entry-level budget bike” and then pop up with a $4000 bike. I’ve unsubscribed to at least two channels for that. I admire nice bikes, but I don’t like being told stuff that costs more than my car is entry level. Custom bikes are worth what you’re willing to pay and are awesome.
I recently bought by most expensive bike ($6000 CAD) on sale for $4200. They salesman referred to it as dirt cheap. Disgusted me. I lost an entire nights sleep debating if I should drop that kind of cash and spent hours justifying it, Couldn't believe the Spec I wanted (marzocchi and fox float with deore drivetrain) was in that price bracket, but figured I deserved it as I have made my way after years of ridindg 90's bikes and other entry level modern bikes. It cost almost as much as my ATV and this guy called it dirt cheap. really rubbed me the wrong way, however Im happy with the bike but we are getting way to comfortable calling these bikes cheap or entry level.
$4000 for a full sus is entry level and a good price if you look at bikes now a trail bike costs 4.5k upward for the bottom spec so 4k is the budget option
I work at a bike shop and whenever we have brake hose rattling in the frame we wrap a zip tie around it and leave the tail uncut, so when you push it into the frame it pushes against the sides and stops the rattling.
@@redryder464 I don’t see it. I rode for Atomlab and still ride for Mike to this day. You should check out his new bikes. Arq Bikes and Tor Cycling are his high end parts. If you liked Atomlab you’ll love his new stuff.
Woah, very cool to see the shots in the Sage shop picturing the Toob Bender and The Creator Frame Fixture that I designed and manufactured in Grand Rapids, MI. Sick, bike, Seth. Can't wait to see more!
I was blown away by the tooling! Having “built” a tall bike frame using clamps and chunks of wood as a jig, it was easy to appreciate. We talked a lot about the fixture, the software, and your tools in general!
Sick bike Seth! As an Oregon local myself, I appreciate you supporting our small businesses (especially one that is 10 mins from my old house :))! This is the perfect bike for you!
@@chrisclifford4109 If you are referring to these as being Lynskey made frames, I can assure you they are not. We no longer produce frames with Lynskey (been that way since 2020) and only produce our frames in house.
@@biggaywizard Love the guys at Ruckus. Shawn is a good friend of mine and a super genius guy as well. Can't say enough good things about him and Ruckus.
Congratulations on your new titanium bike! I completed a similar titanium bike build journey last year and can totally relate to the feeling of all the hard work you've done in your life being put into rewarding yourself with a special bike. Enjoy the first ride and the adventures to come.
I'm not even that short, 5' 10". I loved switching to 165 cranks from 175. Combined with slim pedals, I can actually spin up and put power down when I'd often be half ratcheting to avoid strikes before. A "DH" focused upgrade that helped me a ton in my XC riding. Also great for DH!
Absolutely gorgeous bike, Seth. Love the colour of raw titanium. So much cooler than a carbon frame, IMO. I'm going to be building up a bike (road, not MTB) of my own in the spring and I hope mine turns out as well as yours did.
I never thought I'd be so jealous of a bike, but this custom titanium ride looks like it has more personality than I do! Kudos to the builder for putting in all the time and effort to make it truly one-of-a-kind. I'm sure it's worth every penny (if you have unlimited funds, that is).
its a piece of metal bloody hell your putting ya self down .how many ppl have gone without for him 2 buy a 14k bike sorry but it duz not help and showing kids of today 2 be cool u need a 14grand bike.....crazy
So glad to see some love for hard tails! Soo many guys with crazy expensive full suspension and e-bikes without the skills to actually us them, I think everyone should own a hard tail!
This bike is sick! Personally, I think anodizing the cranks to match the paint scheme would be amazing. The blues you’d get from anodizing are the perfect fit. Given they would wear over time but the thought is cool.
I think this has to be one of the most beautiful bikes i’ve ever seen. If i had an unlimited budget, i would commission a Ti hardtail like you have, and build it with beautiful parts. I am almost glad you have parted with Diamondback, as i don’t think they could have ever made something as beautiful as this
Totally agree about the Crue pedals. For the people that know about them, they are amazing. Everyone else just needs to go get them to see what the fuss is about.
This is my favorite video. My father in law had a titanium road bike custom built for his retirement. From the measurements to the parts, he chose everything so meticulously. I cannot believe how light it is and beautiful. Unfortunately he can’t ride anymore, but he does like to have the bike brought to the bedroom to stare at it. I will be sending this video to him.
Seth thats a sick bike and really enjoyed watching the build.Good on you for all the hard work youve put in entertaining us all,so well deserved,get well soon and looking forward to watching you put it through its paces.
I have been watching the channel for 3 years, you are the one who got me into mountain biking, now I race NICA and am loving it,it’s cool to see you build the hard tail of your dreams, can’t wait to see you shred on it🤙
I absolutely love the way you make content here! You’ve gotten me back into biking and have taught me a ton of knowledge. You deserve to be able to build a no budget bike every once in a while and quite honestly it’s satisfying to see something like that and look at the creativity and time and effort that was put into a build like that. Keep it up!
Man, that is the coolest titanium bike i ever seen, especially the camouflage stickers, totally suite a mountain biker soul...cant wait to see you ride on it Seth.
I was expecting 'dream build' spheric music and glamour shots of the assembly, but that is one awesome bike for sure. Titanium definitely is the material for the 'rest of your life bike'. 5 years ago I sold almost my whole bike collection to buy a titanium 1x gravel bike. Haven't regretted it a single day. And @SethsBikeHacks, You can now officially join the 'Brotanium' Strava group 😄.
Bit unfortunate that the Ozcycle RUclips account was promoted as he was recently sent to prison for beating his neighbors dog, taking it to an empty neighboring property and leaving it there for five days before returning to kill it.
I built up a titanium bike this summer myself, as my Bafang mid drive killed the bottom bracket shell on my old specialized hardrock. New bike specs are pretty sick too: the frame is a Carver 96'er, drive train is a BBSHD mid drive pulling a Shimano Alfine 8 hub, riding on a rockshox recon 100mm fork, with TRP spyre cable brakes. The thing is a beast on the road or trails, and the split wheel size (26" rear, 29" front) is a lot of fun. Get well soon Seth!
oz cycle is actually super informed despite being an old road biker dude and was really ahead of the curb with things like chain waxing and actually having one of the best procedures on thorough chain cleaning prior to first wax, and has a bunch of hacks that aren't obvious or common knowledge. great channel
@@drooghead i don't suppose he fed Pup while he kept him on some abandoned property for a week, did he? what a horrible thing. kept in some strange place for a week only to be beaten to death on return. poor dog. if anything is right in the world, he loses everything he ever worked for
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health.
Hard time all around the Crypto market especially with the collapse of BTC, yet I still acquire $27,000 every 14 days from my investment with a platform in town.
please don't direct any admiration (or traffic) to OzCycle. He's currently in prison for animal cruelty, abducting and then fatally injuring his neighbours dog.
Miss my titanium, it rode so well, I got talked into selling it and buying a yeti ultimate. Mistake, sold it within six months. Had a fuse carbon, but someone cut the lock of my garage and walked away with all the bikes inside. I’ll see what I can afford next summer. Awesome bike, thanks for the video
I’m building up a Canfield Yelli frame and I couldn’t be more stoked on your build! I felt building “your life up to a build” so hard and I appreciate you working so hard to get this far. Rip them trails good sir you deserve it!! Also I’m coming from a 2016 DB Mason Pro. I will love that bike till the day I die but it’s nice to expand to new territory
I had a Kona Hei Hei ti frame with a Marz Bomber(chrome with red) way back when. It was my training/ride/race bike...loved it. It had a pop from the flex in the chainstays and to this day the only frame I didn't break...and that's after owning oodles of steel, aluminum and carbon frames. Bomb proof. And pretty sure I never serviced that Bomber fork and it rode and rode!
Dope. Also have connections to the Blur Ridge, paint is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the easter eggs. Perfection is often a matter of the eye of beholder and IMO this is it for a trail HT. Nicely done! Feel better soon, hopefully it's over and done quick for you.
Superb bike!!!! I ordered a Stanton Switch9erTi Gen4… Titanium was a dream since the 90s! Now I decided to come it true! Will build it up a bit more towards the Enduro side, but not too much… Lyrik Ultimate 150mm and DHRs on the rear. Hope Tech 3 V4 Brakes! Anything else won’t be too heavy: Rims with only 28mm inner, Carbon Bar as well, Vecnum Nivo seatpost, XO1 Cranks (because I have them here), XT Drivetrain. As soon as I can, it will get a XTR Cassette to safe some weight… The frame is already in the customs, so hopefully I can build up the bike next week! 🎉
My god Seth! Epic build. I'm not a fan of modern bikes. I'm stuck in the 90's. This one sparks that excitement I get when "staring" at a quality custom bike. It reminds me of the simpler times when we had so many choices of home grown high end frames and parts. I've been collecting ultra rare custom parts from the glory days to assemble my dream bike. I have to say that this inspires me to crank of few of them out. I can for sure build the 90's equivalent to your bike. If I had an unlimited budget though. This is exactly what I would build. It's nothing short of pure art.
Deeply cool build.Back in the mid 90s I had a Raleigh Torus Titanium with a set of Marzocchi DH3 "downhill" forks with a whopping 3"(lol) of travel.I took off the bar ends,put on a Club Roost riser bar and that bike did everything.Titanium is the best,I`d have another Ti frame in a heartbeat if I could afford one.
Hey Seth! No idea if your gonna read this, but I love your videos and have been rewatching my favorites, the construction ones, a lot lately. It got me thinking; would you consider making something like a lodge of simple planks? What I mean is- Imagine a little house. Id say… about a 4 meter wide, 6 meter long box. Now imagine a large opening from the back, and one in the front, with the trail going right through it. Make it kind of a check-point. Kinda like what the Sick-Nick table was on Berm Creek. Make the little house big enough for you to hang out in, maybe store some snacks or drinks in a cooler, while also just being a cool attraction. Maybe include a different path that puts you on TOP of the house, and then you can go back down it for even MORE power and speed. Idk… I’m not really a biker, but I love your videos and I had this idea I wanted to share.
I've been riging my NUKE PROOF since 1993' and it's still tight and solid. it's softened up by ~ 6% based on last flex test on the BB. I've also been , between 235-250lbs. over that time period and blast big gears having been a pro Skier and ILB in University, downhill, trail, A line.. you name it, it's done it and been a champ for it. Everyone looks at me like i'm an alien running around on 26s and 8spd XTR gear. I will attest to the durability of Titanium. amazing properties.
Seth, I've been watching ever since you were riding street in Florida on your Trek 4900. I don't even own a mountain bike, but I still want to get into it at some point. Congrats on how far you've come, you deserve it with how much work you've put in.
Wow, not one part that you settled for. I love the paint! I am working on a custom hardtail myself and I am SO excited! It looks like you made all the changes to the geo of the powerline that I would as well.
I'm not nearly experienced enough to really understand and appreciate it to the fullest degree but this looks like *the* perfect bike not that I would ever be able to afford anything like it in my lifetime I absolutely love the paint and every choice of component and measure is carefully calculated incredible work
This is my dream, to one day have a custom titanium hardtail built. Congratulations on yours and take care of yourself so you can enjoy that awesome bike.
I always find it funny when people who don't know about welding talk about it :D Talking about how beautiful the titanium welds look like and showing the most generic (still a good weld) tig weld. For everyone wondering stainless steal tig welds look pretty much identical.
I use the same tire combo and they feel truly great for the rougher XC rides. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do and look forward to hear your thoughts on them.
Never miss a single video ever. You are at your own entire level Seth. There is no other form of entertainment I watch more than your video’s. Thanks for being you 🤘.

Poor people problems
4000 for a full suspension bike is definitely entry-level
Im no expert but i feel this is every bit of 4000$ maybe even more, hell the cranks alone are worth more than my car 😂😂
$4000 for a full sus is entry level and a good price if you look at bikes now a trail bike costs 4.5k upward for the bottom spec so 4k is the budget option

This is actually a trick also used in sailing to keep wires from slapping inside the mast

Idk… I’m not really a biker, but I love your videos and I had this idea I wanted to share.
I've found your content to have this therapeutic vibe to it. Even though I've started being into motorcycles, your content just hits differently.
I've been riging my NUKE PROOF since 1993' and it's still tight and solid. it's softened up by ~ 6% based on last flex test on the BB. I've also been , between 235-250lbs. over that time period and blast big gears having been a pro Skier and ILB in University, downhill, trail, A line.. you name it, it's done it and been a champ for it. Everyone looks at me like i'm an alien running around on 26s and 8spd XTR gear. I will attest to the durability of Titanium. amazing properties.
...simply stunning bike, and no-one is more deserving than you Seth. You're living the dream Sir!
Love that you went with a titanium hard tail that is classy! And those cranks are blingin! Sweet!
Came out beautiful. Nice work and awsome setup
So sick! Beautiful choices. Can’t wait to see how it rides.
Get well soon, Seth! Crazy cool bike you designed!
Oh my Fing Days! That frame is a thing of beauty! Love it
Thank you for the kind words!
Yeah thats SICK AF. Literally the dream, enjoy it to the max dude 👍🏻
Seth, I've been watching ever since you were riding street in Florida on your Trek 4900. I don't even own a mountain bike, but I still want to get into it at some point. Congrats on how far you've come, you deserve it with how much work you've put in.
Orange fork decals would have perfectly complimented the blue frame but to each their own. V stoked to see a titanium build on the channel!
Amazing bike. I love a good hardtail trail bike for putting in miles. You've definitely earned it
that is one of the best looking bikes Ive came across. Cool!

I can't wait to see you ride some trails on this thing, it's beautiful!
Super cool! Get well soon, can't wait to see the trail videos!
Got a diamondback hardtail for Christmas, and am planning to visit berm park for spring break. Love what you do.
Inflation was still bad all the way back in July. Glad you got the bike you want. Titanium is awesome.
Wow, not one part that you settled for. I love the paint! I am working on a custom hardtail myself and I am SO excited! It looks like you made all the changes to the geo of the powerline that I would as well.
Congratulations Seth! What a sick bike! I am looking forward to more videos of you having fun on this bike.
I'm not nearly experienced enough to really understand and appreciate it to the fullest degree
but this looks like *the* perfect bike
not that I would ever be able to afford anything like it in my lifetime
I absolutely love the paint
and every choice of component and measure is carefully calculated
incredible work
beautiful colors, beautiful knife as well :)
This is my dream, to one day have a custom titanium hardtail built. Congratulations on yours and take care of yourself so you can enjoy that awesome bike.

Best dream bike build I’ve seen in a loooong time.
I always find it funny when people who don't know about welding talk about it :D Talking about how beautiful the titanium welds look like and showing the most generic (still a good weld) tig weld. For everyone wondering stainless steal tig welds look pretty much identical.
the fork stickers are a perfect touch as not to draw away from that gorgeous frame.

That looks dementedly sick.
Great looking bike. I want one now!
I use the same tire combo and they feel truly great for the rougher XC rides. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do and look forward to hear your thoughts on them.
Never miss a single video ever. You are at your own entire level Seth. There is no other form of entertainment I watch more than your video’s. Thanks for being you 🤘.
Absolutely beautiful
You are one sharp dude, and great for the sport. Killer bike.
