Dream build gravel bike from old frame mtb Bianchi nth /mtb to gravel conversion

[@georgeshoemaker6872]

never seen a fork like that, cool!

[@nickkent7164]

Love that even your grease is Celeste!

[@markjmaxwell9819]

A nineties MTB frame and forks with 29ers or 650B wheels and tyres and a new spray job with the right parts make for a great general purpose gravel bike... Super impressed with microshift stuff for the money.....👍

[@busoptr]

awesome video, i actually feel this Zen like feeling too when i build a bike. I know im not the only one.

[@AlexTebbeCycling]

I think it would really cool with some massively wide gumwall tires, really cool concept. That fork is really intriguing

[@stachecrafted]

Beautiful build!! Glad to see I am not the only one with this idea!!

[@conmenbike8476]

Thank you 😊

[@thisishowiedewitt76]

Are you new to the internet? Everybody has had this idea.

[@stachecrafted]

Lou Sassle yup:) first day on the internet

[@kubiaxk]

Pretty cool bike

[@montag140465]

Good frame , excellent job . Bravo !

[@madcapper6]

Very cool. Probably much cooler when you see it as your own creation and there's probably not another bike anywhere quite like it. Nice job.

[@motoresruedas7357]

Looks great, what size are your tires?

[@andreanetto69]

You really made a top job, congratulations!

[@RoyBramlowe]

weird fork for sure but love what you done sir

[@josealdenalipin2791]

Hello there Conmen Bike, I have watched your video and I love what you have done. I have a question: I have the same fork that you used, SR SUNTOUR SWING SHOCK but I wonder why it wiggles especially when I apply the brakes especially when I downhill, what could be the problems with my fork? Thank you and more power to your channel.

[@davidfernandogallardoberri698]

Preciosa. Como se llama esa horquilla?

[@BIKE-PLUS]

It looks revelative 😃👍

[@majavisnu]

What bianchi mtb did you use. Is it bianchi mutt?

[@jfaust97]

Was this a 26" wheel frame to begin with?

[@corynardin]

I got a little nervous when I saw you putting the steerer races into a hydraulic press, but then you used the screws, and I could relax. Great build. It looks like you could clear 700c tires, have you tried?

[@gusreyes5447]

What Bianchi model is that?

[@florentcorlay]

Great Job! Originally what was the size of the wheel on the bike? You upgraded from 26" to 27.5"? Thanks!

[@conmenbike8476]

Thanks. So this is an old mtb frame for 26 wheels. Now I have 27.5 wheels fitted with 47c tires and ride even better

[@pandudarwoko750]

Max. 27.5 x 2.00 can fit in 26 frame MTB

[@cristobalcortes5422]

Wich size of wheel use? 650B o 700c?

[@conmenbike8476]

650B

[@karenswank1865]

After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

[@stone2152]

Wich size are the wheels?

[@conmenbike8476]

27,5

[@Destin65]

I was expecting to see a quill stem on an "old" mtb frame, lol. That's not old. Mine is from before threadless and disc brakes came into common use. Anyways, nice video and I've been tempted to upgrade mine from 26" to 27.5" or other size that will fit as well. Give the old girl a second life. But first, I'll have to turn her into a hard tail. And a sexy new paintjob. ;-) My dream would be to turn it into a touring bike which is a similar style to gravel I reckon.

[@ByaheNiJoe]

nice build!

[@conmenbike8476]

Thanks😊

[@junpimentel5624]

No grease?

[@conmenbike8476]

The grease is inside. I forgot to record it😁

[@smaragdusaurochs1942]

BB5 MTB, not Road? How do they work with road levers?

[@conmenbike8476]

I have the impression that they are stronger than with mtb levers .But now I want to change to trp spyre-c.

[@groovy_bear]

What kind of wheel axles are you using ? Thanks!

[@conmenbike8476]

Thru bolt /axle 9/100mm and 10/135mm

[@groovy_bear]

​@@conmenbike8476 Alright thanks ! Were these standard on those wheels or did you have to change the cones of the bearings to accommodate for that ? I'm asking because I've only found QR axles or 12/15mm thru axles when looking for wheel specifications only. Never came across 9mm or 10mm ... but perhaps it did not look hard enough ?

[@conmenbike8476]

@Groovy Bear These wheels are built on NOVATEC D791sb, D792sb hubs. These hubs have the ability to quickly replace the axle depending on the need. Options front - qr, 9mm, 15mm. rear - qr, 10x135mm, 12x135mm, 12x142mm. Replacing an axle with a cassette installed takes probably less than a minute. My most favorite hubs are really recommendable

[@allenncrystalking8517]

Do you have a link for the breaks?

[@robertkolarz3252]

Fajna robota i wygląda elegancko. Pewnie lepiej ci się jeździ niż na wypasionych karbonach ;-)Mam dwa podobne rowerki szutrowe poskładane na starych ramach cr-mo. Kuwahara Pacer i Villiger labrado.Pozdrawiam

[@conmenbike8476]

Dzięki😊 .Dla mnie jazda i dłubanie przy tych starych rowerach daje dużo więcej frajdy niż rowery karbonowe .Te stare ramy mają w sobie coś tajemniczego a niektóre są niesamowite widać że budowa ich pochłaniała dużo pracy.

[@ukaszchowaniec671]

Super projekt, co to za wideł?

[@conmenbike8476]

Suntour swing

[@juakoman]

Looks great! Solve the blue fork and 27'5 wheels. With 29 would be way cooler

[@fractalofgod6324]

What is that fork, never seen b4

[@conmenbike8476]

This is an old fork that is mounted on touring bikes

[@brunokasaic2165]

It's a similar to SR Sontour swing shock.Nice

[@Sam-fb8fy]

god👌💯

[@conmenbike8476]

Thanks😉

[@aldrinclementina4297]

Is that a 26 inch or 27.5 frame? Nice video

[@bikepacking330]

good

[@As2ronaut]

bb5 mtb brakes are not fully compatible with road levers due to different brake ratios, it is better to find suitable road-specific calipers.

[@assosc]

Good job! If you know the model of this old Bianchi can you tell me? Thanks u very much 😊

[@conmenbike8476]

Thank you. This frame is the NTH 480 model, it is very stiff but it weighs (2040g). It is possible that I will restore it to the mtb version

[@EmanueleFarina]

Very beautiful project! I can’t find this frame on web...is the model correct? Good job!

[@conmenbike8476]

Thank you. Indeed, there is no information about this frame on the web. The original bike was performed on the full group simano xt 750 and a rock shox sid sl fork

[@chilson88]

Nice build man. Now I know what I'm doing with my mtb

[@conmenbike8476]

Thank you🙂

[@yateswebb]

where's the finger grease on BB ASMR BRO????

[@CoolDRMONEY2002]

Badd ass but i woulda gone 42 chainwheel ona 42-11. This is so sick

[@SneakerKoenig]

What size/frame Specs do i have to look at if i want it to Work? Same reach as my Gravelbike? What Else?

[@conmenbike8476]

The frame must be able to mount a disc brake so that you can use wheels of different sizes. Important is the length of the top tube must be shorter, suggest the size of the road frame for your size. When it comes to steering wheels, it is better to use aero carbon to better dampen vibrations. Mechanical disc brakes I would now wear a TRP Spyre. The crank must of course be from mtb. Good luck with your gravel building

[@Matricule-ru9kl]

From an old MTB you got the geometry problem, what about changed from a flat bar to a road bar?

[@conmenbike8476]

With such conversions, the problem is the size of the frame, the frame should be smaller. I changed the steering wheel with corrected length of the stem. I changed 140mm to 75mm. The geometry is fine, the ride is very stable

Very nice rebuild! Congrats. I’ve never seen that fork before, is it Bianchi’s? Do you know the model name or the bike it came with? Thks

[@conmenbike8476]

Thanks. This is a touring bike fork (SR Swing). Unfortunately, it has two disadvantages - it is a bit too soft and straightens when braking. I had to harden it and replaced the spring with a hard elastomer

[@CobraMentality-o2p]

So what do you think guys, for me I think he did a better job than oldshovel.

shouldnt you put more grease? how much more or less?
