Fun fact: in swiss-german (bern) Ross means Horse. The first thing i saw was two horses:-)

Beautiful sunbeam highlighting the bike

hell yaw

Very very nice! I am all in favour of getting more upright offroad. Having a higher CoG makes you more stable at low speeds, allows you to shift around more when your dealing with big obstacles, and is just more comfortable.

how do you like those bars? this build is rad

Late to the party! How has it been riding? What fork is that?

Beautiful ❤

😎👍

Cool Bike, did you add the caliper mounts to the frame?

Greetings! What a nice family outing and Miles is growing into a fine young man!

How’s that saddle holding up? Nice bike

unlike a modern Trek, your Trek has a soul! Nice build!

Good job youtube.com/@nomade34.?si=6w2KrWdnbQdudiYV

There's really no need to call any bike as a "poorman's" stuff...I mean, if you love riding it, then it's golden...don't really have to care what other people would say.

Pretty nice i have to ride 700c.

That was my first mountain bike!! Awesome.

Great build with great components. That headset and handlebar alone make this a good bike. I don't know enough about bike geomotry to judge how close this is to a Riv, but I'm sure this is just as great a gravel/rando/packing hybrid as the real deal. And It's so unique. That's really YOUR bike, there's likely no second like it.

Siiick foo 👍

Nice! I love the customs! Ride FREE and COMFORTABLE! WWG1WGA 🇺🇸

Nice job dude

Nice work! Subtle like it should be! 👍🏆

i just did a alternator replacement on a 2009 ,i never jacked vehicle up or crawled under vehicle at all , the hardest for me was the belt tensioner and the bottom alternator bolt because it was extremely tight and no room

I was just listening to the Nine Club interview with Lance Mountain from a few years ago (2019?), and he talked about it for it a bit. Said the opening had been delayed and by the time it opened, it was kind of outdated and Upland opened a short time after, so everyone started going there.

You captured the original boti with all the old school guys 👍

Super nice bike and I like your build. Ride On brother. I have the same bars on a KHS Montana Comp, and they are very comfortable.

Finally a build that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg

RIP Scotty.

For what it's worth, I'm running a 29 x 3" Maxxis Chronicle on the front and a 29 x 2.6" Kenda on the rear of my XL Supertramp and it gives a great ride.

Love the build brother man!

So let’s get this straight , rivendale copy 80s bikes and you are doing a copy of a rivendale doing a copy and think it’s a poor man’s copy. Got it .

Those are beer brands

Love it

😳😳😳😳😳

I still remember it vividly. My one and only time there was for the big grand opening event that showcased most of the big time professional skaters from the 70’s. Amazing memories.

Looks rad

Corr! Good for you. Classy.

何度見ても元気が出ます、有難うございます。

Dooe as

Crazy bike. You should make a video showing how it works

Where is your helmet?!

Cool bike

Do you run your bikes tubeless? Awesome bike!!

been looking for one of these frames in my size in the northeast, love these frames

Such a sick steed

Nice work my dude! I've got an old lugged Trek hardtail, same era, hanging in the loft of my garage. I think I'll follow your lead on this one. Thanks for the inspiring build!

nice one dude

Dude I appreciate this vid. There's like, NO videos on this bike and I've been eyeing it for a while. Enjoy it man 🤙

Gonna come back to this vid when I buy my Z
