The classical music made this build such a joy to watch! Complements the dramatic cinematography of this film. Absolutely love it!
It is my first time seeing how the bottom bracket and head tube being threaded. Brilliant way to showcase their tools and that motorised bike stand as well!! 😇😇😇 My heart is full!
Hey, thank you!
Nice! Lol I kept waiting for some gag where Truman would pause, music would stop, and he'd pull up a laptop and look up a video with Calvin to see how to do something 🤣Maybe next time!
When I was a kid back in the 70's I got a frame from a scrapyard & put together my own bike with half rusted & improvised tools, little knowledge - being only 8/9yrs old - & lots of cussing. Now at 53yrs old I'm looking to retrain as a bike mechanic & it has to be said that this video was TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.
P.S. If ParkTool are looking to franchise in Sweden, I have managerial experience & would be proud to represent such skill & obvious pride in workmanship.
Park tool isn't really a franchise, they're a manufacturer of bike tools.
@@_Zane__ And yet they also do international schools....
The music choice and editing; just excellent. Beautiful stuff team!
Much appreciated!
Exactly the kind of music I listen to when I work on bikes! Paradise on Earth! ❤
This is the first time I'm seeing someone thread the BB area & the socket mounts. Awesome video & Thanks :)
You have gone above and beyond any bicycling utubes. Im so relaxed!
This is the best Park Tools video I’ve ever seen. Bravo!
Oh my gosh, y’all, that was an absolute joy to watch! Thank you so much for making it!
Absolutely a treat!! sound wise and the technical build up is so well matched.
Great build video. Beard is looking awesome, Truman !
The sonate of precise barbarian
I'm love it !
Beautiful. It’s giving “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” vibes
BEST.BIKE.BUILD.EVER. Thanks.
That was a simple pleasure to watch. Thanks!
What a relaxing and interesting video to watch. Really great stuff, so much more effort has to go into a raw frame than you’d expect!
This is the best bike build video I ever saw. Good work!
This video and a cup of coffee in the early morning.....soooo good.
You guys are awesome!
Don't forget the lemonade 😋
Taking bike building to its proper place! Well Done
Everything's great the music background, video editing and of course the build bike...wow.
Brilliant build to modern standards with an oval crank. This has inspired me to adapt a 90s frame with one Shimano Bio-pace Crank ring and 8 speed cassette.
Building bikes. My happy place.❤
Great job! Music fits perfectly!❤
Nicely done sir. Look like it fits you perfectly too👍
God, you are brilliant! Watching this video was pure bliss ❤
Oh, absolutely awesome! Encore!
A true masterpiece ❤
Finally, good music and an amazing build!
Beautiful!
That was beautiful...
❤ the Truman grunt at 7:12 😂
It was perfect 😂
Bravissimo, phenomenal as your tools !!!
I love this build!!!! And after having met Truman at the global bike festival it is even more fun to watch his videos, as he is one of the coolest nicest and most helpful people I've ever met!!!! Cheers from Germany!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
That's true, man!
Haven't listened to the "Prague Symphony" in a long time. Thanks for reminding me of how beautiful it is. Another thing. So many bike videos are inappropriate for my grandsons, IMHO, but we tuned into this one, and it was awesome. He stayed glued to it. Thank you VERY much.😊
Fineally a RUclips channel with good music taste!
Very zen and oddly relaxing
the threading is wayyy~~~ too entertaining
What tools!!! Dream. I also built a few gravels. I posted reports of their construction on my channel.
I Love it from Germany ❤️
Magnificent.
So beautiful 👍👍👍
The music was perfect, I love the classics. I like what you do, I like the tools you used I didn't know that Park Tool made some of those. I really appreciate the Titanium frame. I'm impressed, wish that was my day job, building bikes... 😴💭
So relaxing
Excelente 👌💯🚲🛠️🧰🔨🔧✂️🪛
Came for the bike. Stayed for the Mozart. Very nice.
Muy buen video y la musica justa!
awesome！
Bellisima!!!
lovely
Hello from Australia!
Cranks spinning Not that long. Such a Well-equipped Workshop would be a dream ❤❤❤nice video
it's a gravel build, and that rotor BB might have some really draggy seals. I'd be surprised if the T47 shell isn't straight, especially since they cut the threads.
Maybe the ovals don't spin the same?
bearing seal drag.
it's just like a fascinating movie🥰
Exquisite
Great vidéo.
Could you explain why you needed to grind/thread the headset and bb?
Is it because the frame is provided that way, for standard reasons?
He's facing the surfaces to ensure they're completely flat and parallel from each other. Some frame manufacturers are worse about getting these clearances right. If they're off, then the bearings may not seat properly which can cause noise or greatly shorten bearing life. It can also result in ovaling of the frame in which case replacement bearings won't get right after.
We asked that the finish work be left for us to do on this bike. Custom frame manufacturers send the product with these processes already done unless asked not to. During the manufacturing process the tubes distort and need to be realigned. The cutters and reamers achieve this.
@@parktool okay thank you for your reply. Cheers
So long as you have a metal frame though….is that Ti? Also love the holder for the bleed syringes - gotta get some of those 😊
cant believe this titanium frame is not threaded😂
Nice....
My gravel has knobbies. '71 Schwinn Sports Tourer. Old school just like me!
Lovely video, fantastic music choice. But I need to know - did Truman get some lemonade?
How I properly adjust my shimano 105 front derailleur
Art and cheeseballs. ♥
La música a juego! Me encanta!
Great video, inspirational, photography and light; spot on! Amazing space where to work too. I learned a few things about mechanics watching it.
Still, what's up with the chain size? At 11:30 The chain should be on the maximum tension right? and the linking clip... never seen one working like this.
forgive my ignorance and curiosity.
Chain length is determined off the big to big dimension. This particular system requires 4 extra links beyond big to big.
How do you like the oval chainring? Thinking of getting one for my gravel bike.
I am a fan. The rotors ability to change the timing is also a nice feature.
What orange vest is he wearing while cycling?
All that for a headset and bottom bracket? Dreaming...
At the beginning, why the finishing work on the head tube? is it because he measured it and it was not level, or too thick? was the frame purchased as unfinished? just asking because it seems like something a factory should do as part of quality control.
This is a custom built frame that we requested not have the finish work done. We did this so that we could show this work being done.
Are the cutting & facing tools being use without cutting oil? 😬
No, they are being used with lots of cutting fluid. You can see the bottle at 1:10 and can see that the cutters are saturated in it throughout their use. ALWAYS USE A GENEROUS AMOUT OF CUTTING FLUD!
ER MA GERG... now I know what Dr Frankenstein felt like.
Wow
7:50 you might wanna look at that BB cause that spin was woeful....
Can I submit a request? How about building up a winter training bike to Rush’s “Working Man”
You're just going to leave the Wolf Tooth lettering all mangled on the headset like that? I could never.
It's definitely not mangled. The "Wolf Tooth" on the lower EC is read from the front. The "Wolf Tooth" on the bearing cap is read from the riders perspective and the spacers and top cap are read and centered from the riders perspective as well.
Could you please consider doing a video on how to adjust a New style Shimano Front derailleur since they are much different that those from just a few years ago. I have a 105 that has some trim issuesm but otherwise shifts good. I think a lot of home mechanics like me would emjoy it. Thank you.
Great suggestion! We have started the process of making one but have not put it out yet.
While I'm sure Park's video in the works will be more comprehensive than my reply here, there's not a lot different on them in basic theory. Still have limit screws, still have cable tension. What's nice about the new toggle-style is that tension has an adjustment right on the derailleur body, no need for frame mounted barrels or inline adjusters. The main difference is the support screw changes the initial install positioning when mounting to the frame. But having worked on a bunch of these in the shop, I will say the trim isn't always the best even when everything is done correctly, seems to vary from unit to unit, and not necessarily based on tier (105/Ultegra/DuraAce) either. Usually on bad ones I can make the high trim good, but the low trim has little to no effect. Some frames are also not well designed to accommodate the support screw and plate, and it prevents getting a truly good low limit setting.
@@tomvonderharr865 I was having a problem with no low trim and I managed to get it back. I followed a procedure on Cycling-obsession that went step by step. I think I had a low limit issue as well as an issue with the cable tension screw being maxed in so I just released the cable
And started over. Now it works in all 4 positions including hi and lo trim.
I dig that bar tape, can't find it on wolftooth; is it a different brand?
The bar tape is Cinelli Mike Giant tape. It is wrapped in white during the video but during the riding part you may notice that it is gold. That was a last minute change.
Shades of 2001!
What frameset is this ??
bluesteelbikes.com/
3:48 i really want to know where i can get this tool 😭 somebody?
👍👍👍🌟👌
Why did the headtube need facing? Isn't the frame supposed to be inspected for quality prior to delivery? Same goes for why the bottom bracket shell needed tapping and facing.
Came here to ask that... you'd think it comes somewhat OK from the factory. That looks like a lot of material removed.
In the first video of this series where he cuts the seat clamp slot he mentions that he specifically asked for this frame not to have the final prep procedures done to it, in order that he could do them himself and make videos that demonstrate the different processes.
Why aren't the headset cups pressed in one at a time?
13 minutes of my life I'll never get back......and I don't CARE!
Wait I thought HydroR brakes weren't compatible with the Sram eTap levers???
What are the shavings coming off at 1:25?
It's from the top of the head tube as it was being faced.
Great Video, just one thing, the electric bike stand jack, messes with the OG muscle power vibe of the rest of the video
7:11 & 8:03 and several sections matched perfectly with the music! 🤩(and brought me a brand new impression on this particular piece as it always sits between Haffner the 35th and No 40 G minor which would easily be ignored
Wat was that bar tape, looked awesome
Looks like the Cinelli Hobo Alphabet tape
Cinelli Mike Giant tape. It was switched to Gold after this video was filmed.
i think you should return the frame mate XD
shouldn't gravel bike's tires have treads? Also, is that an oval crankset? First time seeing one
Always depends on the gravel you are riding. In this case this bike will see mostly pavement on its trips to find gravel. These tires also do well on the most of the tame gravel we have here in MN/WI. That is an oval chainring.
Not to be the bearer of bad news but those brake calipers aren’t compatible with etap levers
HydroR and Etap says "warning crash hazard" on srams documentation. I Wonder what the difference is in the lever?
@@_Zane__ idk what the difference is but I had a customer who tried them together and he said all the fluid leaked out after a few rides
@@ethanwells7353 crazy
One hand I'm thinking this is serious asf, the other it's a jab at all dream build videos.
I am very confused 😂😂😂
We love dream builds! We felt we had to put our own spin on it though.
Please tell us who the frame maker is 😍
Blue Steel bikes. Great outfit!
Love everything about this video except that anytime i see anyone without eye protection ect working around metal shaving , it gets me paranoid.
Having metal shaving floating around and landing in your eye is no joke

Dumb question, when tapping threads for the bottom bracket, when do you know when to stop ? 😅
To face the bottom bracket, the tap must be deeper than the shell face. For only finishing threads, cut deeper than the threaded adapter being installed.
@@parktool cool thanks park tool
next we will have 'sand bikes' to supplement our quiver beyond gravel. I also suggest (for the USA) a chip seal bike, for those of us who have surfaces with tar sprayed then covered by sharp edged gravel. no its not 'gravel'!! its chip seal!!!!
also, a fine Ode to Park tool!!!!
So youll always have to cut a fork?
if you purchase a fork separate from a bike you will typically need to cut it. This is because the fork manufacturers do not know how long you need your steerer to be so they send the steerer long enough to where you can cut it down to what you need.
@@parktool thanks I was wondering about that
the best video yet?
Impossible: gravel bikes aren't the best😂
@@peterwillson1355 I disagree.
@@BlackHand531 I'm not surprised
@@peterwillson1355 why?
@andrewclarke655 Because different people have different ideas
7:04 Be kinder to your hands! You only get one pair and they can’t be bought.
You're not wrong! Although... we do sell a "fourth hand" www.parktool.com/en-us/product/cable-stretcher-bt-2
