Cool! I'm very glad you came back. Great unboxing. You pass on a lot of extremely valuable bicycle knowledge to people. Many people watch your channel and learn from it. I wish you a lot of health and keep developing this great YT channel!
Great looking frame, impressive build quality. Looking forward to your ride experience video. Wanting to build up a nice budget gravel rig(mainly road and mtb guy but like to dabble in gravel). Also sorry about all the other d bags and their comments.

That looks to be a super nice frame Reminds me of my Elvas Vanya lightweight Road frame. Elves is another growing Chinese company. They're now putting out some quality frames.
great video, thanks! just one question: what is the frame size and how tall are you? are you comfortable as you are or would you change the size of the frame? thanks a lot!

@@stevenleffanue Thanks much for the update! I am still planning on buying this because of your vids and this one in particular. In emails to Yoeleo I mention your impact on buying decisions. Do you have Patreon or similar where one might send some funds to get a kind of commisioned conversation with you on G21 build particulars? Could be a business op. for you. Your vids are absolutely masterful with: the little inset that shows (detailed) indication of where the bore scope is in presentation (no one else does this or appears to have even thought of it!); detailed use and technique of the particula tools to use; time taken to explain Yoeleo design stance; always and eye toward an economic approach and use of commonly available tools/etc. for the regular guy to be within reach of getting the bike. The vids are just so great on so many levels!
You might want to contact Yoeleo directly. I think there's a chance they could do it as they directly produce their frame and have good control over their production lines. If you have the answer, I'd be happy to know as well!

I never tried Yoeleo product, but their customer service was not good at all. I tried to order R11 frame, Price on Yoeleo website was $1215 usd, after I contacted their customer service in China, they say we have to order in the Australian Retailer where the price is $1000 aud more than official website. Then they say I can order through official website and they let me to wait to next day to confirm with headquarter. Right next day, before I put my order, they changed their price upto nearly $1000aud more. This behaviour looks like they purposely delay my order to get some time to increase the price. I ask them if I put order the day before, would they send out the frame? They just could not or may just not want to answer my question at all. Maybe Yoeleo products are ok, but the way they treat customer was not what a 'big' company should do. Anyway, not a good shopping experience.
Btw, australian customer can never order yoeleo from official website anymore but can only buy from their retailer in oz. The price of every product is at least $1000 aud more than pfficial website. Frame alone can be nearly $3000aud. This I think loses the value of buying framing directly from factory. With this money, we can have other options
Hi there, glad to know that you are interested in our products! Since we have a dealer in Australia, it's recommended to contact them for worry-free and duty-free services. And the delivery time will be much better than ordering directly from us. Thank you for your understanding. ☺
Hi, I have been looking for a Bianchi Oltre xr4. They are not being made anymore by Bianchi and the secondhand ones are expensive in Europe. I found a shop in Jakarta called. Brandy bike station that are selling xr4’s. Have you heard of this company. Any assistance would be very appreciative

Nothing wrong with press fit - used in many critical industries. Problem was only that bike manufacturers skimped on qc and cut corners giving press fit a bad name. Much easier to get perfect alignment with press fit too. Hambini has an excellent video on this.
@@meibing4912 Nothing wrong indeed, I might even prefer a pressfit on a good roadbike. However, it depends on what your priorities are. For my personal use on a bikepacking/adventure/gravel bike like the G21, I prefer the simplicity, ease of installation/removal and serviceability of a threaded BB for me as a home mechanic and also on long trips. Pressfit is not bad, it's just not the best solution here (imho) and therefore makes me look perhaps for another bike.
i built a Yoeleo G21 frame this past summer. Absolutely love it, and have used it for gravel racing. Just wish I used it more frequently haha

For the (Aug 2023) 3200+ aud price tag I'd rather splash out on a Winspace G2 and put the 1000 aud I just saved on a pair of their wheels.

Is there an option to purchase the frame without the logo?

Yes. When you order your frame just mention no decals.
You need the frame protection for all the bags and kitchen sink gravel riders take with them.
Can you share the link for the frame plugs?
whats the actual measured weight of the frameset, including seatpost and handlebar?

can you put a regular stem and handlebar on this bike?
Yes , if the stem is 1' 1/8" ahead.
@@stevenleffanue can I use the provided top cap and spacers too or do I have to replace them?
Yes. An ahead needs a top cap for compression of the headset.
@@stevenleffanue yoeleo will sned me one
@@stevenleffanue whats the standard for the steerer tube - IS52/28.6 ? thanks
Hi! Tell me please painting custom?
Yes you can get custom paintwork. Talk to Yoeleo
What is the max Front 1x chainring size, this frame allows?
There is no maximum, just a bigger chainring requires more chain links
Could you use it for cyclocross? Or does Yoeleo have a dedicated frame for cyclocross?
Gravel and cyclocross are different, but unless you are racing seriously it doesn't matter too much. Yoeleo doesn't make cyclocross frames yet
