    Just picked the bike up. So pleased with it. Lee has done a fantastic job. It’s like it was 7 years ago. Thanks for such a great job.

    I always admire the balance you strike between leaving no stone unturned on the service vs the 'good enough' assessment you make on component replacement. Very professional.

      I haven't seen an enduro style/fully on the channel. I'm currently in the process of getting a bike ready for my son and am doing the no stone unturned approach. Took me a while to figure out a way to get the rear disassembled, one part stuck quite nasty.

      Condor are from London. They sell custom framesets not cheap but very high quality with an emphasis on steel but good aluminium (note the 2nd i :)) and carbon also. I'm saving up my pennies for a bespoke bike from them mate.

    Always liked Condor bikes. I got my first bike when I was 5 so 54 years ago. So luckily for me I am of the generation where as kids we bought scrap bikes for pennies and learned to rebuild them and also our Secondary school including bike maintenance in its mechanics classes so we also learned from that and over the years I have built up a modest tool kit so I service my own bike but it is nice watching these videos to see I am doing my maintenance correctly still.
    There is something very satisfying riding a bike you have freshly serviced yourself.

    I have my Cannondale Slice fully stripped down by local store Velo & Oxygen here in Finland 🇫🇮. Team did a great job, had a new cockpit created (bull bars and Tri bars), all new grease to headset and BB. New cables as its rim brake and mech gears. Also new chain and rear cassette.

    Even though I’m able to do most of the stuff you show in your videos by myself - being perfectly honest, my (city) bike doesn’t look any different 😄
    Keep on your great work.

    Lovely job. I took my Btwin Alur 700 apart this week to give it some tlc before Winter. Cannot find spare cable guide frame inserts - any hints?

    Would love to see a Dutch style upright bike at some point.

    Hi Bikespeeds. You've probably covered this in another video. You refer to super slick cables. What brand are they please. I'm going to give them a go see how they improve shifting. Cheers and keep up the good work

      Ours are a “generic” brand if you like as we buy them in bulk for the shop but you can definitely find some by googling super slick cables
