All of My Personal Bikes - A Tour of My Bike Stable and all the Bikes I Personally Own

[@TobiB89]

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 😅

[@kccauldron6411]

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.

[@nemesis256]

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

[@hardmtnbiker]

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.

[@Tomek-o9c]

Hey Steve, the right number of bikes is always n+1😉.

[@danielhartwig3150]

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.

[@chameleonpogono]

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.

[@saswu18]

love the content and can totally feeling your enthusiasm of riding bikes~~~ thanks for sharing with us

[@amtberproducts]

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

[@austindean4035]

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

[@BigBrainParty]

There are many great bikes I've owned in the past, including a middlechild, but i had to let so many go

[@dennismiller1602]

Wowsers, Steve!! Thanks for the bike tour, fun stuff. Looking forward to meeting up here in NWA, hopefully in the not-to-distant future.

[@BigBrainParty]

Awesome. I post my meetups on the @hardtailparty instagram

[@ssmtb]

Great video idea, as always super informative and way beyond any other run of the mill bike content

[@kersh8268]

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.

[@BigBrainParty]

Id love a nitrous, I just have too many right now and can't justify another obe

[@jamesdfriend]

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 . 😉

[@pauls3616]

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.

[@PaulSmith-e2i]

Awesome to see your personal collection Steve. I love your signature bikes the best and love the 120mm travel Sedona. Are still running 130mm travel on the Maniak? Thank you 😊

[@jurisx85]

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

[@arlanhowe91]

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]

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?

[@BigBrainParty]

Yes, its on this channel

[@cycling_plurality]

@@BigBrainParty I must be losing my mind or somehow I missed it! Excited to watch it.

[@cycling_plurality]

@@BigBrainParty I am definitely losing it... haha I even commented on it! I am rewatching it.

[@VicenteOcanaplus]

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.

[@EasternOT]

The other 'trend' I noticed in your collection is your love for the fox GRIP damper (not to be confused with the GRIP2)

[@justgo4033]

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.

[@justinofboulder]

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.

[@Happy_Biker]

I did not imagine that you would own so many bikes. 😮 Good for you! Please, what are the water bottle cages on your Binary?

[@daviddimov1142]

I’d love to see you review a Poseidon Norton! Really curious what you think

[@arogers9986]

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

[@BigBrainParty]

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.

[@joppek77]

That Cotic looks like a type of "gravel bike" that I could get behind. Or get on rather. 😍

[@TomBadore]

Awesome rides!! 🤟 Where is the RSD Middlechild?

[@ianfurqueron5850]

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.

[@GregAspenson]

Oh man! What a fleet of bikes. I'm most intrigued by the Neahaus Hummingbird. I would be interested to see a review on the Revel El Jefe in the future if you ever get your hands on one.

[@mikej1348]

I’m interested in the Advent X now that you mentioned again that you still use it along with the high end parts. Nice video.

[@BigBrainParty]

Advent x is amazing. Not quite as robust against rock strikes as axs, but performance per dollar is incredible

[@edlorenz1552]

Glad you still have that pink HELM! 😉

[@BigBrainParty]

Always

[@CJGrand1]

Nice collection!

[@natethompson6178]

Sweet fleet! I understand it all too well haha. Something about those Neuhaus has my attention for potential SS upgrade from my Radimus.

[@JS-sy8mo]

Epic bikes Steve!!!! Hey could BBP do an episode on stem spacers vs riser bars and figure out what the heck is going on there with geo/reach/cockpit etc etc etc!?? I'm totally stumped!!

[@BigBrainParty]

I talk about this a bit in my geometry course. I can't tell you exactly how many you need, but it'll teach you the principles of what ot does.

[@dewittlunsford2527]

Awesome quiver, thanks for sharing.😊

[@ytmike100]

No Paradox v3??? Great vid! Just bought a paradox v3 frame on sale and can't wait to get it built!

[@BigBrainParty]

I had a paradox v3 for several years. Fantastic bike. I have an enigma frame that isn't currently built, but I'm tempted to experiment with it

[@leokuo7127]

I have a 27.5 bike. I was tempted to get the enigma, but it can't accept 2.8 tires.

[@Sck519]

​@@BigBrainPartydidn't you have a spitfire too?

[@Scott-PNW]

Cheers on that Wildcat! Got one too. It was my "budget" version of the Evil Offering. Very similar geo. It's my daily driver and I rather prefer it over my 170 super slack freeride/enduro rig.

[@BigBrainParty]

It's a special bike! It totally has evil poppy vibes

[@mtbboy1993]

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?

[@taknname]

Sweet collection! Interested to know what the ten frames are. The Sedona is still intriguing, we'll see what the future holds. Did all of your collection make it to Arkansas?

[@BigBrainParty]

This was filmed about 6 months ago. Most of these are still in my fleet, but a few are not. Id like to cut this fleet in half and sell off the other half

[@icantgivecredit871]

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.

[@arlanhowe91]

6:20 yes.

[@yoondaman316]

Do you still have the Zipp 3Zero Moto wheelset? If yes, is it still head and shoulders above the competition in terms of compliance?

[@kieftoker]

sick collection

[@SWFBrickbox]

KOOSH BALL MENTIONED

[@lenyarbrough8445]

On your Hummingbird:I saw that you have a dual bolt seat tube collar. Who made it?

[@BigBrainParty]

Neuhaus gave it to me to test as an experiment. I'd reach out to them directly

[@JS-sy8mo]

my hummingbird came with an Engin Dual Bolt Seat Collar looks almost identical...

[@michiganstate149]

Newhaus's in house brand. I ordered one for a different frame I had with a slipping post, fixed the issue. 10/10.

[@mustclime5311]

I miss your ride videos.

[@BigBrainParty]

Not as much as i miss riding!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

It wouldn't be cheating to add up everything in value and fish us with a thumbnail saying: "here's my xxxxx$ bike collection" ! Many people have lots of random bikes but this is a very tasteful stable...

[@BigBrainParty]

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.
