£12,000 Custom Bike Build - Sarto Seta Plus

[@davidv6803]

It would be interesting to see a series where someone gets a bike fit, decides to get a new custom bike, how that’s designed and the compromises made, then the build.

[@cainesnashfold7978]

Superb build , music too! I'll be down to collect her first thing Saturday morning 😂

[@BillFalck]

Very calming "Zen like" video. Really enjoyed watching it.

[@yakwabbit]

Is nice to see handlers being taped in the correct direction.

[@lipglop]

This may well be the most beautifull thing I've watched all over the holidays

[@HJiangBang]

Would love to see one of these videos with each step explained. Might get long or complicated, but as a beginner cyclist with an interest in the tinkering/building part of the hobby, I'd love to understand the different parts and how everything gets put together!

[@Jensen_MacD]

After learning from GC Performance, I appreciate seeing tape wrapped like that. Really helps the finished look of the bike imo.

[@cleberaraujo055]

What a great video, amazing craftsmanship 👏

[@johnd.obrien6838]

"Bike Assembly in D minor." One of my favorite pieces

[@mvp_kryptonite]

What a cool build. Normal looking bike frame with a simple bb imo. Lovely to see the measuring being applied but miss the clicks from the torque wrench. “Fit first, buy later”

[@zbigniewnykiel]

Masterpiece! Bike and also video!

[@samcordes]

Love the videos. Love the music but would have loved a little bit of live sound from the build mixed in. I know that’s more editing but we love some of the lovely ASMR sounds that come from building bikes. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@Bikefitjames]

We wanted it too but sadly we had to remove it half way through the video due to a busy workshop and unwanted sounds

[@adamcannatella2119]

Such a satisfying video! And what a beautiful bike! That would’ve been a nice bike to have for the Thailand trip 🤔

[@aaronhamlen8215]

This build is a work of art, if I purchased this bike I would be afraid of scratching/breaking it.

[@peterhargreaves4821]

Hang on a minute chaps! It's a fantastic looking bike and rightly so given it's the most expensive Seta frame (upwards of 7k) and the wheels alone retail for 7,500 Euros so a full build with Ultegra is likely to be a lot more than 12k, a lot more...And the Partingtons, well, inner rim depth is fairly standard at 21mm, which is too narrow if you want to run wider tyres, but they are really light. The technology doesn't justify the retail price in my opinion.

[@huntos83]

Very nice. Given that it’s custom I’m surprised it wasn’t made with a taller head tube to avoid/reduce the number of spacers used?

[@antonpeterson1245]

Great video. I have a question about the bartape. I like that it was reversed so there is no need for the finishing/electrical tape, but is the bar being wrapped in the correct orientation? I thought you want to wrap the bar on the tops with the bar tape going towards the back of the bike from the top side?

[@barryford7135]

Love the videos, but those don’t cranks don’t spin very freely, in fact they hardly spin at all?

[@scottwatson7844]

Lovely build 👌 but at this money surprised they didn’t go Dura Ace.

[@Bikefitjames]

Spent money on the wheels instead of

[@markday1714]

killer content

[@BadTanLines]

12:16 that's a lot of exposed clamp! Daaayum!

[@rocko-sh5wi]

Is this frame made to fit for the intended rider ? Or an off the shelf build up ?

[@TobiB89]

Interesting, I've never seen anyone wrapping the handlebar from the top. Can someone tell me, if there's any special advantage/disadvantage to that technique?

[@huntos83]

The advantage is that it looks neater without the use of finishing tape at the top. Aside from that there isn’t a real benefit

[@e4sg9oy0pvsdfpz4pvcb]

Great video - I have an unrelated question. Would you be able to make a video about your own bike position? In the videos of you in Thailand, you were very obviously bobbing a lot as you pedalled, more than can be explained by just being ill. Why have you set your bike up so you do that?

[@christopherhood9241]

nice music

[@steven_willems]

Anyone knows what wheels were used on this build?

[@Bikefitjames]

Partington

[@screaming_quagga]

Why does the crank seem so tight and stiff.

[@MrPAB34]

I wasn't sure if I was watching a "Nic Vieri - Bike Mechanic" build video to start with...

[@Bikefitjames]

No, you are watching one of the best mechanics in the industry at work

[@floam11]

The dentist workshop.

[@veloman59]

Bet his wife/GF/partner doesn't know how much it cost! 😁 Looks very beautiful though..

[@66mikkim]

He tightend the crank way to tight, the crank wont even move a mm when he stops spinning them.

[@matthewobrien5348]

Ultegra…..wide bars & loads of spacers. No thanks.

[@davonpointer2310]

What a faff for the mechanic, bikes are supposed to be simple machines. Give me rim brakes and external cables any day! Nice video 😉

[@Gufolicious]

12k pounds for "custom" ultegra build with 5cm of spacers. is this a joke?

[@leerichy6489]

Maybe the owner wants to ride the bike for a while before making a final decision on bar height. It's no problem for the shop to make that adjustment.

[@Bikefitjames]

More money went in to the chassis and rolling stock

[@frankchan5547]

So what? You pay for it, you can have it set up as you like

[@leerichy6489]

Apparently not 😅, it seems lots of people on KZbin think they should be consulted before the build. Doesn't matter it's all good for the algorithm.

[@aljaliah6868]

@@leerichy6489 Hahahahaaaa, CAMPAGNOLO it is then , case closed !!!!

[@adehooper6780]

Great build video, but the repetitive music had me reaching into the cutlery draw for a knife to slash my wrists. Then I remembered to turn the sound off😂

[@MrJhockley]

£12k. I've been living in a cave. A years rent on a bike 🤮

[@aljaliah6868]

That is the minimum today you can spend on a top end bike , I think many can now knock on the door of £20k

[@KriegKadaver]

Handlebar is too wide

[@paulbloomer6022]

Super cool build but that standard Ultegra BB makes me sad

[@Omnis2]

What's the deal with the sappy melodramatic music and the backwards bartape?
