I’m 26 years old and have that exact same GT Aggressor Pro and made all those exact same upgrades on my bike. (Even took the same stickers off my wheels to make it look more grown up) I was so stoked and feeling confident seeing it all come together just like my bike! Reassured me that I made the right choice. But then all those good feelings were thrown right out the window at the end when you gave it to an 8 year old little girl and made it apparent that I must be riding a children’s bicycle… 😂

Been there. Still worth it to have metal pins. Was my fault anyway - didn't think and used cushioned shoes (even though I knew better) when practicing drops so I slipped off one pedal. Actually wasn't too bad, went riding for another hour. Plus the scars look way more impressive compared to the discomfort of the injury. ;)

I’m honestly not stoked he charged a young girl and father almost $700 for a gt aggressor pro. That bike is $400 brand new and all he did was swap out some used parts. Seems like $650 was a bit of a stretch. Especially for Seth he doesn’t need to actually make a profit on this series.

@@reboundrides8132 Bike is $500 at Dick's Sporting Goods. The fork and 1x upfront take that bike to $650. Add all the other parts, even used and you got yourself something that would cost more, even accounting for depreciation if they had done it themselves to a new bike. I bought a 2019 GT Avalanche Sport for $400 a few months ago. I'm going to replace the fork, headset, wheels, pedals, grips and tires soon. For the normal price of the bike, it's not worth it. But considering a new GT Avalanche Sport with a 2x (vs a 1x that I have on it) is $875, I have the credit built into the bike to do all that and still come out cheaper than a new one with better components. That's what Seth did, sold them a bike that, while more expensive than a brand new one, would cost much more than they paid if they had bought the components themselves, even at used prices, and upgraded a new bike. And they're not getting a new bike with an air fork and 1x drivetrain for $650 or less.

Nice that the dad actually mentioned how his daughter intended to ride the bike. I remember looking to buy a bike with my dad, I wanted a mountain bike, he thought the "mountain" aspect of it was just for show. So as we went through the bike shops, he would tell the sales person that "we were looking for a bike I could ride to and from school". Somehow ended up with an entry level mountain bike in the end, but it was close. Wouldn't be surprised if he woulda bought a cruiser if I hadn't spoke up

I live near their main store near Chorley and visit regularly for parts mainly tires etc, i see so many mums and dads trying to fob their kids off with either the cheapest cheapest bike in there or worse still saying "But that bike in Halfords looked much better (cheaper)" Mums and Dads need to watch this video and maybe listen to their kids once in a while as you can pick up a decent used bike and totally transform it, besides its great Mum/Dad time with the kid building up the bike together, proper bonding time. Keep smiling kidda you can always upgrade the parts as and when you an afford them.

Super cool series, I actually find watching this more satisfying than some pro build with a bunch of fancy stuff and an unlimited budget. Way more challenging and rewarding to build a bike that’s fit fot purpose at a tight budget. My bike has a set of xt levers on it that I took from the garbage bin because the blades were bent. I bent them back and now they are among my favourite parts on this bike..

Hi Seth, love this series of videos. If you’ve ever seen any of my former posts, you’ll know that I’ve been building and repairing bikes from $50 to multi thousands for many many years. It’s fun to watch you transform these bikes. So…this is the second video I’ve seen you do one particular thing, that in all of my years and professional experience, is a no-no. Square-tapered bottom brackets do not get grease on the spindles. With only 4 contact points, over time it will round out the crank arm square hole. Give it time and it will happen every time. And not even years and years, but much less. If someone rides a lot, it won’t take too terribly long at all. I also understand that it happens no matter what, but grease in that one spot will definitely speed up the process. I’m not criticizing you by any means, I love everything that you do. Just passing on a tip from an old man who’s been doing this since the first Stumpjumpers were all the rage. How far we’ve come. These days you can spend close to $20,000 for a super top tier bike. Wow! You make me wish I still lived in Hendersonville.

Especially now with delays, it's just a nightmare cause something outta your control always seems to go wrong on almost every build. You rarely end up making much and if you count your time you're usually losing money. Now I just do stuff for friends that don't have timelines or high expectations.

@kh17150 3 жыл бұрын
If you are Seriously going to get into it, resale value is based on Brands; concentrate your investments on Brands like Trek, Cannondale, Surly , Salsa, All-City, Felt and Specialized.. these brands will get you a better return than a Daimondback, GT, Schwinn.... walmart bikes... Also try to score on bikes with disc brakes... these will sale faster than the older vintage bikes.. try to stay with the 700c (29er) and 27.5... they will bring more buyers.. cheap 26 are a great way to start out small, just dont expect a big return..Good Luck

OK once you upgraded the fork I was with you 100%! The conversion to 1x was impressive! Personally, I'd call bs on giving your self value credit on the take off parts, because I think they have no value. But you get bonus credit for getting that girl a really good bike for her. Your work was not for $, but for love! Bravo! Let love rule!

Loved it! I did like the Box upgrade but there is still room to balance it: decent hydraulic brakes (currently it has mechanical which are bad for shredding), brand fork (even a RockShox Judy would do the job) that is serviceable, a brand crank set - not a Chinese brand. In my opinion the pedal upgrade was not necessary.

I have watched and learned so much from Berm's clips, I can legit-ly say I can fix pretty much anything and pickup an inexpensive hobby [minus the tools] of fixing my and friends bike. for weekend entertainment, I have sold few bikes I had purchased for my use for little to no profit after all the parts were replaced/enhanced. I got the joy out of fixing and riding all kinds of bike since March of 2020. I now have three nice new Quick 5, Tarmac Sport, and Marlin 6 and love them all and plan to keep them even after WFH ends in few months.
