Adding water in a spray bottle helps with the carbon dust and lubricates the saw blade. Carbon paste on the expander plug is also advised. Beautiful video. Thank you.
@@rickgiolito5980 I’ve been rinsing 700x50c for about 8 months, but I just prefer 27.5. So decided to switch back to it. I’ll swap between two wheel sets over the next few months to help me decided what to stick with.
@@minispaniard Thank you. Yes, I’ll be doing quite Agee more hopefully. Maybe some more reviews and talk throughs about spec choices and different products maybe.
With the ENVE bars it turns out a lot neater. Specially with the way the bars don’t have a hole at the end. Unless you hacksaw the ends off. Been doing it for a few years now without any issues, but mostly just on ENVE bars
Nice build! Love to see the INGRD! Since you told me you are a 1x and therefore SRAM leaning, I wonder if you are looking forward to the Madrone Derailleur. Afaik it will be mech only... I know RtR is a difficult topic for Bikeshops... still. Curious about your xp with goin 650b that fat. Also I really like that you chose an Italian Frame, (im a german with a farilight faran) now we only need too find an Italian Mech that likes German Steel Frames and wed be a funny Trio =P (Unlikely tho, weirdly imho no good steel out of germany)
I think RtR is an excellent thing. It’s one of the main reason I hate cup and cone bearings in wheels as well. Everything should be made to last longer or be repaired easily. Have you had a look at Sour Bikes yet. They are from Dresden. Looks pretty good. Would love to try one.
@@NicVieriMechanic No havent, did now for 1 1/2h and tbh im not sold... at least yet. Their Gravel Purple Haze is 3000 for 2x11 GRX /w Duke wheels and hub... Genesis offers the 2x12 croix for 3000... Frame+Fork is 1400€ but no mention of any inovative Tube shaping and the steel is just some "CroMo". Also 300g heavier than a Secan, which is 1500€ish. Groupsets are a bit weird the shimanos: 2x11comes with 47/30T 11-32T(!) kassette, the 1x11 with 40T 10-45T and the 1x12 with 40T 11-45T. Idk, if I see one live and ridden it ima let u know.
The Mehteh is one of my all time favourite frames. Can’t wait for the Tequila Sunrise colour to be back in stock. I reckon it’ll be one of my next bikes I buy.
Hey thanks for that. It’s massively appreciated. No, I haven’t. But two of my mates have Fairlights and they love them. It’s definitely one I need to give a try

Nice video NIck, but putting SRAM on this gorgeous Made-in-Italy bicycle is like scrawling a mustache on the Mona Lisa with a felt pen. Should have been Campagnolo - groupset + wheels. If you're gonna slap SRAM on something, get it from China!
The current campag stuff looks great, but it just doesn’t work as well unfortunately. If only they focused their wireless tech into the Ekar group set instead of a slightly less crazy expensive Super Record. On the wheels front. They wouldn’t last 3 months up here unfortunately. Their cup and cone bearings are just not up to the wet and mud we have 😞
Just the mere wording, gravel bike - pisses me off beyond reason.. its a fkg cyclo-x bike for god's sake! and an mtb is now a Motocross bike WITHOUT and engine, which can't go uphill
Well technically speaking it’s not a CX bike. They have higher bb’s, much steeper angles, are designed to shouldered easily and limited to about 35mm tire clearance. Hybrid would technically be the right term for “gravel” bikes. But does it really matter what you call it? 🤷🏻♂️
I think it would be really funny to make a movie like this where you do everything wrong and then you look really proud of the result
I have thought about it. Film it all wrong and then stick it back in the right way straight after before the next shot 🤷🏻♂️
@@NicVieriMechanic Jimmy from CADE already does those
I think this was probably the most zen 9 minutes of my life😍
Haha, thanks mate 🙌🏼
Good luck with your channel🤞Hoping to see little Catherine helping!😉
Thank you so much. Yes, she will be in. Whenever she’s not destroying Francis’s studio 🤣
@ 😂x
fantastic content! enjoyed the audio a lot, I much prefer the ambient sounds that too often get overwhelmed by a musical score. thanks.
Thanks Mark, yes I tried to put the music as low as possible. Still needed it to drain out background humming and random noises.
Adding water in a spray bottle helps with the carbon dust and lubricates the saw blade. Carbon paste on the expander plug is also advised. Beautiful video. Thank you.
The water is a great idea. I’ll definitely give that a go. 👌🏽
A great watch! Perfect with my morning coffee!
@@davidwisdom6913 thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Didn’t think you had a channel just subscribed for more videos, thought you only did appearances on Cade and Josh’s channels 😂
Technically I don’t. Just started this today. 😬
Thank you for that , Nic and crew ? And , may I have one in a 58 , please ? I liked the way it was done ! Cheers
A 58 can definitely be arranged 👌🏽
Damn Nic, that’s a beauty. 27.5? Bold choice. Time to go backpacking on some truly nasty stuff..

nice, really nice. more like this, please! even if not your own bikes...
@@minispaniard Thank you. Yes, I’ll be doing quite Agee more hopefully. Maybe some more reviews and talk throughs about spec choices and different products maybe.
I love the color nice build 👍
Thanks, it’s hard to really show it in the shop with the lighting. But it looks mega out in the sun.
Beautiful build Nick🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻
@@randyhale4181 thank you 🙌🏼
Nice Boet, only thing missing is that coffee break the guys take, but you can substitute it with biltong! 🤛🏻
Haha, that’s not a bad idea at all. Or some klippies 🤣
Don’t forget them roots. LOL.
Hallo Nic! Congrats and much fun with your new bike!
Thanks Frederic. I’ll have to start making another one for next week 😬
@ hard life it is
@@fredericpressel1611 hahah, much easier when I used to have Francis, Jimmi or Josh do the filming and editing 😬
@@NicVieriMechanic in Germany we say: No master has yet fallen from heaven. Like practice is everything 🤌🏽
Mesmerizing! I really love it
Thank you so much!
Very nice!! Beautiful bike
Thank you!
love it! hope you continue :)
Thank you. Filmed the scone one last night. Hopefully it comes out okay 🤞🏼
Baie mooi Kwagga, baie mooi.
Baie dankie Kwagga
YASSSS!!
@@Jimmidoesstuff Jimmothy, you are my hero 🫶🏼
I would like to hear you provide a description of what your doing. Thanks.
That is exactly what I want to do. I just need to figure out how I film that. I’d have to do the audio afterwards.
I’ll give it a try this week.
bar tape from top to bottom? 😳

Nice video Nic. Just subbed to your channel. Have you tried the Fairlight Secan? Love mine. Second year on it now
Hey thanks for that. It’s massively appreciated.

It’s a dangerous game. The sheer amount of money I’ve wasted on camera gear and tools 😬😬😬
@NicVieriMechanic It truly is LOL. I just go for the simpler tools because I'm not splurging for those bearing presses and the like.
Skills👏👏👏👏
Beginners luck 😬😬
What rotors did you use ?
@@Alex-bh4um the are Ferodo’s CL Road Rotors. I just love the way they look 👌🏽
Super nice, but we wouldn’t expect any less….
@@stevekelly6544 Thank you. This filming and editing business is all new to me. 😬
now do a video riding it!
I’ve considered doing a review/riding video. I’ll give it a go this week. Hopefully it turns out okay 🤷🏻♂️
Does this mean that you and Francis broke up?
No never. I’ll be back in the studio this week 🫶🏼
Why is Ryan Reynolds building bikes?
Hahahaha, I wish
Have you built my bike yet?
I used most of your parts for my new bike 😬😬😬

I don’t think it’s black enough.
I can sharpie over the gold bits 😋
