Love the look of this, great quality frames too - I like the forks too, especially as so many folks are adding shocks to modern gravel bikes these days anyways!!

@@Downhillsmoothtarmac Hey fellow creator 👋 The look of the forks inspired me as they kind of look similar to the RS Rudy if you squint hard. I did consider going ridged by but thought I’d try something different. I enjoyed your Cannondale Cyclocross build btw. It’s one of the bike I keep an eye out for on the second hand listing in my area. I really love the colour way of the model you’ve got.

Good Morning from Germany, I built up the CAD 1 (look at my profile photo) 3 years ago. It`s very interesting, that the old STX parts are compatibel with the shifters from actuall shimano claris. I think, your frame is in a better condition ( my has some damages because of moisture), but I hope, I can ride my CAD 1 some more years. I like the peach colour in Original. Your project with mono and Hollowtech bottom bracket is also nice and obviously we had the same idea with the contis double fighter😄 Have much fun with yout bike! Lars from northern germany.

Awesome looking bike build. I don’t get the whole conversion thing though. I’m just gonna change out the tires on one of my MTB to some faster road/off road tires and call it a gravel bike. I don't like drop bars and I don’t want to do without my 3x7 drive train. I like my gear options just in case I need something more or less.

This is a really nice rebuild. I like the shallow drop handlebar. I think a future upgrade would be a rigid fork. Save a lot of weight. Your comment about the colour of the Continental matching the frame made me smile as that's exactly the attention to detail I'd go for. Brilliant bike
@MozOnBikes8 күн бұрын
Cheers dude! Yeah it a really fun feeling handlebar, it’s a Ritchey Venturemax 46cm. It’s very shallow and got a nice ergonomic bump on the drops. Regarding forks, I’ve actually got some early Cannondale Badboy fork that was my plan b for the bike. But I’ve been surprised by how nice the quadra 5s feel. Will see how they hold up commuting and take it from there.

Nice build. How capable is the bike? Enduro enough for the Alps for example?
@MozOnBikes9 күн бұрын
@@solarrover9575 interesting question. It’s defo a trail bike over an enduro bike in feel. I guess it depends on what you’re doing in the alps. It’s certainly a ton more capable that the Scott Nitrous that I took to the alps in the mid 00s the first time I went! Personally I wouldn’t hesitate taking it, but I’d probably not spend day after day doing laps of La Roue Libre or Pleney Black. What I would excel in is the big left assisted alpine tours that you can do in say the portes du soleil

Very, very nice. Currently restomodding a 97 Mongoose. Maybe I'll do a video as well. Might I suggest upgrading your seatpost to an external dropper? You can use the cable mounts/guides once used for the front derailleur .
@MozOnBikes9 күн бұрын
Hmm I’m in 2 minds about droppers on gravel bikes, whilst I like the idea for the occasional technical section, I’m not sure if it’s worth the weight and cost. However I do like the ideas of doing hack like you said using the cable mounts, maybe I could gut the ratchet in the shifter mechanism and have that actuating the post 🤔

@@MozOnBikes yeah, my OCD would have gone into full throttle seeing those cable guides not being utilized. I guess I could have pulled out the grinder and shaved them off. But I have droppers on my two other bikes, and now I don't think I can go back to a QR seat clamp. 1st world problems. Ha ha

@soap539317 күн бұрын
Handsome bike, but I'm trying to understand why speed would be important enough on an off-road / "gravel" bike to call for drop handle bars. Everyone who shows a conversion build on Utube goes to drop bars. I could see it on a road bike going down a mountain on pavement, but...?
@MozOnBikes9 күн бұрын
Drop bars have a few advantages and disadvantages. Isn’t not speed per se, it’s efficiency. They kind of tuck you in out of the wind and make you feel you’re catching the wind less. Also they provide a variety of had positions so in theory can increase comfort and reduce fatigue on a long ride. Plenty of disadvantages though, expensive shifter that are damage prone, less steering authority in technical terrain, less breaking power on the hoods it goes on and on.
