Love the build. Especially the tires ! I'd love to get my hands on some good quality colored tires myself...

Can we please all just take a moment to pay our respects to how perfect this man just poured his beer........

Wholly crap, you're so on the call, this beer company should at least honor this person with a one-year supply of beer, BAR NONE...

Hello, my name is Dan Sotelo, co-founder of onZa in 1987. I just love your video, and the love you put into your build of your beautiful Chromag with my beloved white onZa Porcupines. I feel you should know the history of how the white onZa Porcupine tires came to be. Back in 1987 my friend & I started onZa mainly making onZa Bar-Ends and onZa Stainless MTB granny. Chain Rings (the first in the world). In late 87 we received our first preproduction Porcupine tire samples from Taiwan. We immediately contacted John & Linda Parker (founders of YETI cycles in Simi Valley Calif), who were 20 miles from our onZa "Kitchen/Garage office" asking if they want to see our new Porcupine tires. John & Linda said yes and set up a mtg. FYI: Back then Yeti was really getting traction as John Tomack started to ride Yeti bikes and anyone wanting the best knew a Yeti was the MTB to have. Anyways, the mtg day came and John liked our new tire for being so different and could see that it would work very well. So John being a vintage motorcycle collector showed us a motorcycle with white tires and made my partner and I a strange proposition, that if we made our tires white he would run them on his Yeti race team bikes and offer them as an option on his Yeti hand-built bikes. Of course, we said "YES" and thus the white onZa Porcupines were born to become MTB history. Again, Beautiful video. Sincerely, Dan aka Mr. onZa

[@oldmanbucksaw]

Damn, cool story. Thanks for sharing. I rocked a lot of purple onZa back in the golden age. I've still got a set of onZa bar ends in my vintage parts collection.

[@almostcools]

I still come back and watch this video every year or so. Nothing like a new bike build. Might be time to build a new one

[@trevorstick9152]

Why is everyone freaking out about the tires they complete the whole look

[@pyramidion5911]

White wouldn't be my first choice but I'm not riding it so that doesn't matter. Fun fact though did you know most tires used to be white or gummy colored. It wasn't until they started adding carbon dye to tires, to increase strength, that they would become a greyish and then eventually black color we are used to today.

[@kaedeschulz5422]

Yes they look great on this bike but having to clean them every time they have bin touched anything outside of your home is just terrible. With my skinwalls i it's not that bad but this? oh dear.

[@multisilhoutte]

Been working in a shed basically for many years, since I owned a bike when I was 13. I am 28 now. No tools as a kid or very little, now I have most of what I need, some are self made, some are bought, some are improvised. Not that I am cheap or anything, but my made ones seem to work, the simple ones are bought of course, the more specific ones can be made yourself, like a chain whip. Hard to imagine myself 15 years ago that I'd be pressing plastic BB92 cups in my own carbon frame and shortening hydraulic brake lines. Love to watch such videos, where people share the same passion. After all, they probably do it for a living, I just have a very expensive hobby.

[@devon08059]

Love the colors. Industry 9 wheels yes very sick build.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

This truly is a dream bike build! Great paint color and finish. Great components and building process.

[@hardmtnbiker]

Chromag makes amazing frames and parts! They are truly some of the best hardtail’s in the industry and they know that wider is better. I love their Magna40 rims and can’t wait to get some of those loops laced up and on one of my hardtail’s

[@policies8534]

[@damianpodstawczuk6303]

Dear Nick, apart from the aesthetic impressions (simply speaking - I was glad to watch Your video), for many amateur bike mechanics it was interesting to see the specific tools You were using to set the bike. I wasn't even aware of the fact that those smart tools exist. But necessity is the mother of invention. I wrote this remark simply to share positive feelings - I" have built" a few bikes, still I can see there is always something new to learn about. Damian, a teacher, Poland.

[@PatrickCavanaugh0420]

Man what a sick build, love the white tires they go perfectly with the bike. Doesn't Marzocchi make a set of white forks? Unfortunately if it were mine I'd be a little unhappy with the reds not matching lol. I recently bought a new bike and have been adding a few things here and there to make it my own and I'm having a hard time to find a matching turquoise colored components and accessories. They're all way too dark in color. Definitely gonna check out your other videos.

[@GokkunGuru]

Great build. It seems chain guides aren’t very commonly installed these days and only more so seen on DH bikes.

[@oldmanbucksaw]

Great build. If i could make on recommendation it would be to swap the QR seatpost clamp for an NQR clamp. I've seen a few dropper post failures in the shop due to a QR clamp being over torqued. I personally like the white tires.

[@NickBosshard]

Thanks! I decided to go with the QR to be able to quickly lower my seat even more for bikepark use. I might change it to a NQR down the road, as the 175mm dropper makes it kinda redundant. I always try to go as low as possible on the torque with these, as I know how easy it is to overdo it.
