Nothing like a lovely steel frame. I do agree that the Bridge Club would be a much more comfy, more versatile, and for most of us a "one bike that does most" bike. The Space Horse is definitely more road/endurance oriented. This looks like a large-ish frame and yet, there seems to be *almost* toe overlap (in the pic at 1: 05). Now compare that to the BC and you can see the difference. Bikes like Space Horse are the sleeper builds of road bikes. With right parts, even the all steel bike in its road guise can be brought under 9 kg. And that would be an absolute ripper.
Thanks for the comments! Yea there's def a bit of toe overlap but i'm used to that from riding 50-52cm frames 🙃 I need to knock the tyre psi down a bit and get some more relaxed bars on it and see what that does. And yep i might have to give it a go in road mode at some point 🙂
Hi, I locked it in a bike rack in front of a sports centre. The bike rack is in view of the sports centre reception/ cafe area and well covered by cctv. I went into the sports centre and 2 ppl must’ve been lurking around because they waited to make sure I was inside then cut the lock and made off. I spoke to the staff at the sports centre who said it happens the whole time and that they would liaise with the police in due course to give them the cctv. Police looked into it but nothing came of it. I was using a thick cable lock as I always liked being able to thread it through the frame and both wheels but in retrospect 2 d-locks would have been a better way to go. I don’t really lock a bike anywhere now apart from occasionally outside a coffee shop for 2 mins.
Thanks for the D-Lock suggestion. I am getting ready to retire and I want to get rid of my car because a vehicle is a huge expense but I worry that trips to the grocery store and other arrands by bike may not be possible because of thieves. It's ashame the Police don't do more to help.
Looks good, but I don't understand why it has become so popular with 1x and super low gearing on bikes that are mostly used on asphalt or in any case fairly flat ground. Maybe you like to cycle very slowly? 😉 1x is not for me anyway, I like being able to cycle everywhere... at a decent speed.
Wide range useful for me as it’s fairly lumpy where I am but a 46 cog is over kill so I did just switch for a 11-42 which is still pretty big. 1x for pottering about is more a simplicity thing for me 🙂
@@kottelkannim4919 the way i normally remember it is that the quick release handle for the rear wheel should be opposite side to the cassette, otherwise you could rap your knuckles on the cogs. Front wheel lever should be on the same side as the back; ie left hand side of bike. Must've been half asleep when i put the front in 😅
@@MatthewLister I think the convention on the rear side is logical since it is quite crowded on the cassette side (derailleur, shifter cable housing). But, what is the reason for the convention on the front wheel? I would imagine placing the QR handle on the side opposite to the brake rotor is a little more safe than on the rotor side. Your half-asleep decision seems more rational than following a convention fully awake.
@@kottelkannim4919 it's a great shout. I did some googling on this and it's inconclusive - people talking up both sides and yep you're right - opposite side to rotor does make more sense 👍
the folks at blue lug can do no wrong 🔴🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯💯💯

Race Face Atlas pedals are excellent
@@lanceblack888 thanks, I’ll take a look! I’ve been using some Blue Lug “Shark” pedals which have been decent but will check out the Atlas’s too. Thx!
You’ve spent so much on bikes you’re living in a Wendy house? 🏠 😊
@@lanceblack888 hahaha 🤣
Great video! 👍🏼
Thanks! 🙌
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Is that a steel frame?
Yes it is steel and thanks!
Interested to learn how your other bike was stolen. Did you not lock it up or what happened?

Amazing video. Fascinating stuff. How are those Brompton grips? I never liked the look of them but imagine they might actually be quite comfortable.
Thanks 🙌
The grips are great; “Ergon GP1’s”. They were a mod I did to my Brompton but switched them out before letting go of it.

You appear to have your quick release skewer in the wrong way round 😮
Ahh yes! Well spotted, front skewer wrong way. Thx!
Could you explain this convention? Thank you!
