You know you picked the right color for the Sedona when it matches the dirt on the tires.

@kccauldron6411 Ай бұрын

I'd enjoy a future follow-up video about how the terrain and trails in Bentonville influence your bike choices and impact your personal stable.

@TobiB89 Ай бұрын

Man, that's a lot of bikes. I have four (road, fully rigid hardtail, enduro fully and dj) and I already can't ride them as much as I'd like. I'd say you're on the verge of being called a collector 😅

@tommynoel9929 12 күн бұрын

I dig your style and choice of bikes and especially the choice Paul components.

@fbrams 4 күн бұрын

Nice collection, you already made me think about getting a hardtail again (currently I have only Gravel bikes). IF you ever wanted to use the hoods position, move them way more up. They should be horizontal or minimal (!) upwards, so you cannot slip forward. In case you cannot reach the brakes then in drops position, the bars may be to low. Compare drop bar MTBs from Salsa or Bombtrack, these have less saddle elevation.

This was a fantastic watch!!!! What a great stable of bikes!!!! I would love to see that Coptic gravel bike on some fun gravel now that your in Bentonville!!! Great job Steve, really enjoyed this one!!!

Ok now i finally have to get the trials bike i always wanted/needed!

@hardmtnbiker Ай бұрын

I absolutely love this content and the detailed explanation of how you built up your whips. I have never gone shorter than 170mm cranks but I will be going 165 or 160 on one of my hardtail just to see what the “big deal” is all about. Plus it gives me and excuse to buy some new cranks.

@danielhartwig3150 Ай бұрын

What a beautiful fleet. All of them are so good looking and incredibly built up. The Sedona is eye candy. I didn't think you would let go of the Spot Rocker.

@RideYearRound Ай бұрын

Man what a great collection of bikes. It’s really interesting to see how location and the types of trails nearby affect bike preferences.

What happened to the paradox? I bought one after your review and still love it.

@BigBrainParty Ай бұрын

There are many fantastic bikes I've owned in the past. But as you can see, i still have too many even after selling a few.

The Spot Ricker? Your ALL TIME favorite xc hardtail? And the Team Marin? And the Sherpa? Man... Must be very hard letting go.

One of your best videos was that series you created about the old $300 bike challenge. I watched that a few months ago and it was great.

I miss the Banshee Paradox V3 that you custom painted. It intrigued me as an aluminum frame with compliance. You must have parted ways with it at some point. Well, with the Binary Maniac and the Stanton Sedona, and others, something had to give.

@ianfurqueron5850 Ай бұрын

When you get healthy I think you'll love the Ryve 115 on most Bentonville trails. I rode my Gen 1 version there last year and it was a lot of fun. There were a few features (mainly drops with flat landings) I avoided since I have mine setup for lighter trail riding. Although I still sent a few of the progression drops in the skills area. Trying to have a quiver with optimal overlap is definitely a challenge. I've settled on 4 mtn bikes including my e-bike, plus two drop-bar bikes. While I also come from a BMX background, I have also done a lot of road riding over the last 30+ years, so I prefer a road bike with more traditional racing geometry and fit over a gravel bike. Gravel bikes often feel uncomfortable for some reason - specifically the flared bars.

@mtbboy1993 Ай бұрын

14:00 Maybe it has to do with strength and tube diameter avaibility? Nicolai claims that they went for thicker 30.9 sest tube instead of larger thinner seat tube, thus stronger. Maybe it's the same here?

Crazy to see a stable without a middlechild in there. Awesome tour! Thanks for sharing

Great video. I have to say the bike I liked the most was the GT. Like you said, it takes you back to why you started riding in the first place. I started with a Schwinn MOS but my first true love was a Rocky Mountain Hammer in 1992. Thank you for the video.

Wow, nice collection Steve. I’m thinking about adding a Nitrous to mine. Really enjoyed your video testing it out. Also, was great seeing you talk to Dave at Sea Otter.

@VicenteOcanaplus Ай бұрын

Very cool collection man. You are lucky being able to enjoy all those beautiful machines. Gravel/agressive singletrack talking, i use higher positioned hoods and ride with hands on them most of the time, with 46cm ritchey flared handlebars.

@dennisfloyd8514 Ай бұрын

That GT ❤. I just bought a 1996 GT Avalanche for the same reason. It will be my chill ride to the coffee shop bike.

@chameleonpogono Ай бұрын

Really cool seeing how happy you are while going through all the bikes. I like that Stanton. I know it isn't, but reminds me of an old school bike. I still have my Trek 830 from the early 90's. Even has a first gen RockShock fork.

Thanks for sharing! I mostly ride gravel these days, (Otso Wahila C with Berd sparrows) but I do still enjoy the Spot Rocker! I'd love to own a nice titanium hardtail in the future.

@justgo4033 Ай бұрын

Nice video. I built a wildcat v3 in the spring, the frames were on sale . As much as i like hardtails , my knees and ankles couldn’t handle rough rides anymore ( i still have my fat bike and my dj as a hardtail ) . I love aggressive short travel bikes , the wildcat is perfect for my local trails and can handle big bike park days out in the mountains.

@jamesdfriend Ай бұрын

Greay video, I really enjoyed seeing your stable! Most interested by the RSD and Spot. Im super happy with my current hardtail (Team Marin) but thinking about a change in the full sus department (Fluid FS). That spot looks awesome! If you can store them all, you can never really have too many bikes . 😉

@arlanhowe91 Ай бұрын

Haven't watched this yet but so excited for this. Curious to know what kind of full suspension bikes a hardtail guy rides!

@cycling_plurality Ай бұрын

Very overdue to see some of your arsenal! Very cool. Don't be embarrassed, be proud that you have built a life that allows you to have such a fleet! Thank you for sharing. The one that intrigues me the most is the Neuhaus Ti SS. It would be such a quick and simple bike to ride. You did another video comparing the Ti and steel Hummingbird?

@icantgivecredit871 Ай бұрын

That vintage XTR rear derailleur only weighs like 230 grams. It's ridiculous. I'd love to try one with a 1x conversion with hollow BB, light weight crankset with 8 speed narrow-wide chain ring (if such a thing exists), and find a light 8 speed cassette to boot. I think those things alone would shave some major weight from an old bike. A modern 1x10/1x11 groupset from Shimano is fun and all but not exactly light.

That would get more views/clicks, but it's really not my style. A lot of the parts on these bikes were paid for in full by me, but a lot were also sent in for review.
