I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you wrapped the chain stay correctly - seeing other RUclipsrs janky wrapping always upsets my OCD. Chapeau!
@ So the blue wasn’t really the original - I’m guessing because you mention Hammerite and as far as I know that wasn’t used in the factory - correct me if I’m wrong!
I haven’t tried a C13 as yet, mines a C15 which I’ve used for years and it’s great for multi day rides. I’ve got a C17 too and that’s spot on - I’m a big fan of the cambiums all round
@Downhillsmoothtarmac thx. 😃🙌 Never tried Brooks before, but since im doing long bike pack trips this year, I'm seriously considering it. I love my SelleItalia Boost (and the old plush MAX), but since I've never done longer multiple days on the saddle, I want something that's proven good. 😅🤞 The B17 should also be a good one, but I'm not a fan of the look. The B360 on the other hand, suits my biks beter. 😊 To many options. 😬
Wow!!
Geoff that is amazing !!
You have done a marvelous job - I bet it rides beautifully ! ❤
Hey Rich, so glad you like what I’ve done with it mate - can’t wait to get out and ride it now!
@@richedwards9646 you’ll be wanting it back now, eh?

Well I wouldn't mind........

Thanks man, it has to be done right and tight for me otherwise I can’t look at it, let alone go out and turn the pedals 😁
I would have kept the original paint and what happened to the head badge, it's part of the bike's history!
I did think about keeping the blue hammerite! But decided on a freshen up - got the headbadge ready to go back on too!

@@johnhickman2033 no it was metallic green originally I believe 🙂
@ Well, your paint job was definitely the correct choice.
A really nice build and new life for that Dawes frame. I recently rescued a 60's lugged Dawes frame for which I have similar plans!
Thanks man, hope your build goes as well as mine!!
Love it. Thanks!
Thanks dude!!
This video is very cool love it ! I want a rigid bike again
I love MTB, but there’s always room for some gravel in your life man - it’s a game changer for big miles and exploring
@ yeah deffo, my next bike will be a gravel
I’ve actually ridden my gravel bikes so much that I don’t often miss suspension anymore 🤣
@ love it, the simplicity of it. I seen a good video about why we don’t see rigid mtbs anymore and we should
@ just sessions like 5 of yours vids love it and chilled. Got some inspiration for my workshop which is still a work in progress
All-business build love it.
Yeah man!! Thanks!
Very cool, the paint looks good on camera and the color is great 👍
Thanks!! Once it’s covered in bags and trail dirt I’m sure it’ll look fine 😁
Looks great and putting an old bike back on the road/trail is amazing. Well done.
Thanks so much - can’t wait to get out and ride it too!
muy bonita, de las mejores de tu canal, si no, la mejor...
Thank you so much!! I was worried it hadn’t turned out as well as I’d hoped
@@Downhillsmoothtarmac para mi, está perfecta
Thank you!!! 🙂
Love the chain Stay protection
Bring a bike over and I’ll do one of yours mate!
How is the comfort on the C13 seat??
(150km/ 90miles trips)

Only way to go is to try one out! The one with the relief channel is a good option too - if you’re going for drop handlebars, go for the C15
@@Downhillsmoothtarmac thx. will do. 😃🤙
Shall I be an internet troll, or tell you at work????
You’re not gonna troll me are you Martin??? 🤣🤣
