Ace video man. I'm picking one up tomorrow.
Excellent, enjoy
Loving the reviews. Not sure how you manage to keep talking when climbing steep trails 😄 The "Hello Dave" looks like a great hardtail. I ride a Whyte 905 V2 which I love. I built an On One Bootzipper after watching your review and pleased to say it's been a great bike so far. Stay safe👍👍
Had talked myself into going for my first full suspension bike. Now rethinking that, thanks Guy 😂
Same with me ahaha
Do not do it, i regret it, going back now
Great rewiew Guy ,it’s on the Wish list 👌
Ed Oxley- Pig Cast. 9 years ago. Inspired me to get a 2nd gen Ragley BluePig- the one with the same curved seat stays as this. Still ride it.
Ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive 😀
@Concrete Head the majority of the better spec steel bikes are 2k plus And tbh i fancied something different. At the worse I can strip it , and buy another frame and have decent components. For the record they ride fantastic ,super stable downhill, and climb spot on ...
🚴(Hello Dave)😎👌 great bike Guy 👌 looking like you enjoy the 🚴👌
Great work Guy , I’ve just built up my Orange P7 , but after watching this I’m questioning my choice 🤔. On another note you’re local trails look awesome. Good work lad .
Gee W don’t worry chap, you’re all good with a P7, had one as my MBUK magazine long termer for a while. Proper hooligan 👊🏻
Love this video fair play on the live commentary.
Thanks chief
Great review, Guy. You demonstrated its capabilities well. As a fan of steel HT’s, it does appear to be a fun bike to rag around local woods - looks like it would take some effort to wind up but worth it when you get it going.
Saw these and thought not for me, then hmmmm....now want one! Wondering if kit on old Sonder will fit frame 🤔. Cracking test and tech walk through, ta.
Great bike . I've changed tyres . Seat and . Bars tho . . Save the tyres for an up lift day . Put some conti on rolls great now . SDG saddle and burgtec bars . Well built bike
Hi Simon, have you tested on any longer "xc" rides? Would love to get one for my local flowy/jumpy trails. What i am afraid of is the way up, about 3km uphill back to start and also want to use it on some longer xc rides with mates and family. Is not too much of a bike for such rides?
Great review of this bike, I've just started looking at getting a newer hardtail and getting back into biking.
Would you still recommend these bikes or are there better bikes about these days, slightly concerned that it might be a bit too long and slack for my normal local riding around Woburn.
TBH that's what I thought it would feel like but I loved it. There's always the Big Dog if you fancy a similar feel with more conventional geometry. They've got some good deals on ATMO too if you sign up for the newsletter
@@GuyKesTV Thanks for taking the time to reply Guy, the other bike I'm looking at is the Ragley Big Al or Big Wig which I'm pretty sure will be more conservative geo like the Big Dog.
@@TheAndyMaan I can't remember the numbers exactly but I looked at Ragley and geo when I was prepping the Chameleon review and I'm pretty sure they actually had a decent spread from quite rad to more trad across the range. They're certainly worth a look.
I want one!
Sure looks beautiful down there 😍
Not sure It will at the moment!
Just paid £600 for mine, maybe 3 years old now but best 600 I've spent on a bike
That’s a proper bargain
@Guy Stevenson. Hi Guy, I spotted that you're 5'11".. Did the large feel the right size? On One suggest a XL for your height.
Hey there! It’s a Time ago but i have to ask. I am 185 cm Tall with Shoes some around 189. World you recommend still the Size L or then size xl? Best regards
I've just took delivery of a 2020 nukeproof scout but I'm really thinking about sending it back to get one of these, it's doing my head in
Greg Newman what the Scout is doing your head in or the indecision. Scouts are an ace bike
@@GuyKesTV the indecision mate alot of people are saying ride the scout and enjoy it as they are very good and then make a decision,I'm new to mountain biking as well which doesn't help I suppose
Greg Newman Scout is definitely more versatile. It’s not as tank like as Dave but it still shreds really well and it’s a lot easier to pedal, especially on climbs!
@@GuyKesTV cheers mate I think I'm going to stick with the scout for a bit and consider building a Dave once I can get a frame and I'm a bit more used to things in the MTB world, thanks for getting back to me and keep up the good work, your reviews are great
Greg Newman no worries mate enjoy the Scout 👊🏻
This bike just ate this trail under your foot! Release the beast!
Lovely place to ride I won't say where it's my local, 15kg is nothing if that bothered about weight go for a big poo before a ride. Gone are the days I can spend 5k on a bike so one of these bad lads I reckon.
Wish it was like that down there at the moment eh!
@@GuyKesTV I know it's nice little spot, I'm currently watching the snow come down :/
@@alanhaigh9682 yeah, it's not even frozen underneath either. Riding out to and then round Stainburn on Sunday in the slop absolutely killed me so I'm in no rush to repeat that. Be rude not to get out for some sort of play though. Stay safe and see you on the trails 👍
@@GuyKesTV I know I must get out, an old man shuffle/jog I reckon. You too buddy soon be spring hopefully jabs for all and some kind of new normal.
Top guy watched you for years and now found your channel. Thanks. Your getting me this lock down with your videos. My bike was stolen 3 weeks ago. So what bike do you prefer the marley 2.0 or this hello Dave.
Michael Batey gutted to hear about your bike mate. What sort of riding are you into?
@@GuyKesTV typical uk country blasts. And long coastal pedals. Love the coastal routes. But also have to ride with the 7yr old son when he goes out. So fair mix
Michael Batey I reckon you need a 29er for the longer rides but not something as heavy duty as the Hello Dave. Big Dog, Big Al, Specialized Fuse and Whyte 629 are all good options.
@@GuyKesTV thanks will check them out have u revised any of them ones I can watch the videos.
Are these frames still made by marino bikes in peru? Heard the first batch was made by them for sick bikes. Guy would love to see you review the ribble ht 725
These are Taiwanese. Merino did make some of the Sick bikes though and you can get similar frames from them. Ribble 725 hopefully on the way soon.
Hi Guy, how do the tubeset characteristics you describe compare with the recent steel Ragley's? Think they are also triple butted 4130. Asking because I've ridden the recent Blue Pig extensively but will probably move to a 29er HT next. Weighing it up between the Hello Dave and the Big Wig. Thanks
Pov go pro reviews is one of my trigger points.
Looks very similar to my Ragley blue pig 2019
Yep, Ragley was where the slack and long stuff started in the UK, thanks to Brant (who designed all the early On One stuff too).
Nice video! Looking at a Big Dog myself as a first MTB bike to learn on and as a do-it-all machine. When's that video review due?
Arjan Blok shot it last night. Editing soon 👍🏻
Looking at aggressive frames. Ribble and this I've seen so far.
Any other suggestions to look at?
Great review Guy, what is the sizing like? I do believe your 5'11 too
matt brunsdon yep, 5’ 11” and tested the large
Great review, what’s the difference in feel with a steel and aluminium. I like enduro leaning bikes, been riding GT sanction and quite happy taking it up hill. So very interested in this as an alternative.
steel gives you less vibrations. Where alu can feel rock solid, there is a bit of give in a steel frame. It's not floppy or anything, but it is more compliant than alu. Carbon is a whole different story. it can feel as soft as steel and as hard as alu depending on the lay-up of the frame.
I have all sorts and steel is my favorite. Not the lightest, but the most fun imo.
There's one of these frames on a selling site that's been staring me in the face for weeks now. I just don't have a 160mm fork for it and only a 140. Hmmm.
What forks are you running bud?
@@rourkeyliiid4769 DVO Sapphire 120-140. Got em maxed out at 140 currently.
looks sick. do you know how many frames they acquired? Is it 'once they've gone, they've gone'?
I think they got 50 original bikes in the first batch, they went so well they ordered a second batch (including this one) with a modified rear end and AFAIK they're planning to keep tweaking and re ordering as long as they're selling well.
@@GuyKesTV Great review, looks like you're having a blast even if you are at NHS-friendly pace! Good deal for £1500.
@@paulbarton957 yep it's such a ridiculously capable bike it can take a lot in it's very long and slack stride without risking a blue light situation. It's gagging for some proper bike park or Alpine action though.
Guy Kesteven yeah, I feel like almost all my riding confidence comes from how far the front wheel is in front of me. In this case, a long way!
Guy you have some excellent local riding spots. Those are the type I usually have to drive to.
Great vid 👍
So the question is , do you buy this or a cheap suspension bike like the calibre bbb etc etc. Your getting a quality bike here with decent kit and a lovely fork , good brakes ,do you really need that rear damper is the question....
Hardtails always require more skill to ride as fast as full suspension, but they need less maintenance over time and that extra input can make them super rewarding.
@guykesteven hi guy been a big fan of yours for 20years now and need some advice. I am trying to get back into mtb after being diagnosed with a herniated disc in my neck. In the past I have been a die hard hardtailer. Due to my restricted movement and pain when riding I am looking for a full suspension bike to help with a smoother ride meaning more time in the saddle. I am 5ft9ins but only have a 27inch inner leg. I am learning towards an orbea occam. I need a more upright seated position due to the pain when tilting my neck backwards would you suggest a small frame with all this in mind. Cheers.
Frames have gone up to 800. Do you think that they may come down in price again.
Nice looking bike 👌
£299 now
When are u going to do the big dog review next?
have you got a gpx file of this route or something because im looking for some routes around the viaduct
Any idea what steel is used in the frame? They don't say on the web
Edit: NVM found it, chromoly 4130 👍
What camera are you using? Are you using a gimbal as well on this video? Thanks!
Kumag Ka it’s a Go Pro 7 on the chin of a full face helmet to make it more stable. I normally just use it on a chest plate mount for full suspension as the lower angle gives you a more dynamic view with arms and bar. It can shake around a bit too much on a hardtail though.
Does any know of the frame is somehow treated to resist rust like ED coating?
No it’s not but you spray it inside yourself if you’re worried
I have a dilemma here. Slimmed down HD or beefed up Big Dog? For flowy trails with some jumps and rocks. Also want to use it for some longer xc rides. Any thoughts?
Jan Maly for roller coaster flow I’d go Big Dog. Dave does better than I expected on the flatter stuff but is mostly more about the crazy DH.
@@GuyKesTV hi Guy, i was gonna get Nukeproof Scout 290 frame, but they are out of stock everywhere also I would love to try steel frame for change. So you reckon the Big Dog can handle some mid size jumps and a small drops? Any tips for some other aggressive hardtail frames for decent price? Btw i found out about your chanel only last night. Good stuff, thanks for that. Take care. Jan
Are you going to be reviewing the scandal?
Yes, just waiting for it to arrive. Big Dog review shot too, just needs editing.
Good, waiting for mine to be delivered.
Hi, been looking at this bike too! Looks awesome! Where abouts are you riding? :)
Local trails for local people
We didn't burn him
Edward Bentley 🤣
Being 5'11 could you have got away with the next size up? Looks like youre not reaching to far.. I'm the same height and don't know what size to get ..
Old saying ..If Aluminium was any good they would have made Steel from it....l say I'm All Carbon and no Fibre...I would like to see a dual suspension Ebike steel frame. I bet they could make it as light as Aluminium but as you have already worked out rider weight is only factor that is important on Ebikes. That bike is a chopper with its head angle and wheelbase.
Hello Guy, did I imagine that you said you'd be getting a Ragley Big Al in for testing soon?
Yes but Hotlines can't ship bikes at the moment so it's on hold until Parcelforce start playing ball again.
@@GuyKesTV Then I'd have no chance ordering a bike for delivery to Australia!
@@hambo76 You might be OK for that TBH as it would probably come via Chain Reaction who use different couriers I think.
@@GuyKesTV Good point :)
Are you gonna do Big Dog ride ?
Less value now! I don't know if it's off the back of this video or Planet X cashing in on the current cycling boom but frame only price has shot up to £ 600!
The Tick thanks for the tip off. Ive asked why the price has shot up but no explanation from Planet X yet. Complete bike stays the same though 🤷♂️
If I wanted to purchase a ride solo t-shirt where would I be able to get one..? Thanks
I bought it from Stu at Riders Cycle Centre, he hand prints them in the workshop. riderscyclecentre.com
@@GuyKesTV cool thanks.. 🤙
Looking to add a hardtail to my stable and this is standing out especially without spending the earth. At 5'9 it recommends a large just about, what you think?
Also where are those trails they look right up my street!
I reckon you'd be fine with large or medium. What top of saddle to bb axle measurement do you run?
Can you share where the trails are, they look amazing
@@GuyKesTV I'm all body and no legs so usually I find a large fits better if in doubt. Currently on Trek Remedy 9 Medium Large size which is perfect for me.
@@snoopdutt1985 Sounds like the same proportions as me and an M/L Trek fits me perfectly too so I'd go large. The trails are in Nidd Gorge just between Harrogate and Knaresborough. Sloppy AF at the moment though.
@@GuyKesTV cheers. Ah shame, they are a bit far north for me, was hoping for somewhere west Yorkshire. Keep up the good work.
I've liked the look of a couple of their mountain bikes lately but trustpilot reviews are really bad. It's stopped me pulling the trigger on one tbh.
Hi! I was a bit afraid too after reading the reviews, but could not resist to buy a tempest gravel bike last summer. So far I am satisfied with my purchase. Also I had a problem with a Carnac helmet and they sent a new one free of charge. You need some patience when using the live chat, but overall I am satisfied with the service.
What size frame did you have, and how tall were you?
Im 5‘ 10“ / 180cm and I rode a large 👌🏻
@GuyKesTV ok thankyou, how much taller do you think you could get away with being on the medium? We're you comfortable on it or nearer the taller end for the frame?
@@jonnyandhenrymtb if you don’t need a super long bike medium would work fine
Would suggest this over the Ribble HT 725?
I can't really say I'm afraid as I haven't ridden the Ribble yet. It's more expensive though and the geometry is more like the On One Big Dog but with 150mm of travel.
Thanks for the reply, to ship to the United States they’re about the same cost. I like your reviews and will wait for the review of the Ribble.
Brent Vincent thanks Brent, I’ll keep you posted but keep checking in 👍🏻
@@brentvincent4430 if you're interested in this frame, check out Marino bikes, I think that they were involved with Sick on the original project, and are selling a version in the states.
So, this or the Big Dog for a winter 2nd bike?
David M this might help: ruclips.net/video/6UCfOwCiM5A/видео.html
Hah! Thanks Guy. It didn't help!
I'm guessing the Big Dog is a bit more of an all rounder? A bit happier pedalling than the Hello Dave?
The HD maybe isn't the right bike, but its just so mental it might just work!
David M tbh mate Onone have just made it a bit easier. Big Dog has been switched to RS Judy forks which are nowhere near as good as 35s. The price has dropped but Hello Dave is the better package by far, and well, you know you want to 😜
Max tire clearence rear?
2.8
Hardtail enduro bike?
Perfect for that
Where abouts is this trail guy?
It's Nidd Gorge in Yorkshire.
@@GuyKesTV Got one of these last week, took me until the end of the video to recognise it was Nidd Gorge :D 2 mins from my house!
@@tvaudits haha, don’t tell everyone though 😜
This the one you put together a month ago Guy? Got a few ride reviews backed up Haha
michael mcclure yep, didn’t want to break cover too early in case riding was fully shut down.
