Hot Retro MTB Tech From Malverns Classic | Doddy's Last Show! | GMBN Tech Show 295

[@gmbntech]

What was your favourite bike from the Malverns Classic Show and Shine? Is there a retro bike you’ve always wanted? If money was no object what would you be trying to source?

[@floydblandston108]

I'm cheap; Moots YBB, and Turner Stinger are the only two I've never managed to find used for a price I'd bite for. If I was to drop big green on a bike now, it would be for something unobtainable, like a custom fat tire ebike in Reynolds 953 with belt drive, a Rohloff rear, and carbon bits everywhere else. That being said, I can still spend half a day staring at old C-dale fat tube hardtails....😊

[@thealliest]

The full Ti Xizang was my halo bike when I was a kid. I would love to get one with modern geo and 29” wheels. The OG Ti Hei Hei was also up there. Oh…. And a Richey Team Edition with the softride stem that Frischy rode. So many to choose from but those are my all time favorites

[@PlumpyDelicioso]

Love to see a spec correct pro flex animal.

[@jonj-lab4633]

A Bontrager Race Lite like I used to own in the 90's. Sold it cheap when I was desperate for cash in '99. One of my dumber moves in life, for it was an absolute barnstormer of a cross country bike.

[@outdoorsandiego]

The Tomac replica for sure.

[@pwn3d_d1rt]

Doddy will be missed... End of an era for sure! Best of luck in your next chapter!

[@pwers79]

Doddy, farewell. You'll be missed here on the Tech Show. I've learned a great deal from you & the show. Thank you ✌

[@Vibethis2008]

Doddy the legend will be missed. Always feel like I am hearing from an old friend who lived all the same MTB experiences I lived back in the day. My first serious ride was a Giant CFM3 1992 and I changed the fork to the original Girvin with the yellow elastomers Would love to see one again!!! Love to own it again

[@kusokurae21]

This channel will never be the same without Doddy. Thanks for being an inspiration to many aspiring (including me 😊) mountain bikers/DIY mechanics. Cheers mate!!!

[@jameshardy2220]

Doddy is a one off, he has passion, integrity, vast knowledge and a very real love of mountain bikes. He has crafted his shows, which comes across to the viewer. that's why they are the best on your network by a mile.

[@connorcampbell144]

I’m 17 and If it wasn’t for doddy with his knowledge on the tech channel I wouldn’t have got myself a bike mechanic job in a bike shop and then going on to run a class teaching people how to maintain and build bikes. I’m really grateful as I now have a love for retro mountain bikes since I found the channel in 2020. All the best with your future 🚵🏻🚵🏻‍♂️

[@KermitOfWar]

The 17 year olds working at my local bike shop usually just clean & scrub the floors...🤷‍♂️

[@plainsrider]

Gutted you are leaving Doddy, you will be missed. Loved your enthusiam & bike geekery over the years. Thanks for all the hint's, hack's, tips & instructional videos 👊🏻

[@Marcus221179]

For me IS Doddy GMBN! It would never be same without Doddy... we miss you...

[@user-rc9ff5gc8i]

People around the world, show the man some love! Northern California here.

[@SingleTrackMined]

Say it ain't so, Doddy. You will be missed here. Best wishes in whatever you do. It's been fun watching you here. Cheers!

[@qbfx]

I rediscovered my passion for mountain biking after 20 years of not riding. I've been a massive fans of GMBN and especially GMBN Tech for an year now. Doddy you'll be missed, thank you for everything and good luck with your next endeavors! Cheers

[@redbomberr4594]

Doddy mate, you are the reason I started watchin' GMBN and all its channels. Will miss you!

[@lufo5]

In my opinion one of the overall best presenters of entire global cycling network. Thanks for everything!👏 Good luck for your next adventure!🥳

[@zephyrmansor]

When I started riding 2 years ago, this channel was the first MTB channel I subscribed to. Learning all the tech stuff to be able to strip my bike and put it together, Doddy has been on that journey with me. I would like to thank you for sharing your immense knowledge and history of MTB with the rest of us. Good luck to your future endeavours and you will be missed.

[@MadLFC]

What Doddy brought to GMBN was his great credibility in bike knowledge. His skills as a journalist also proved to be a great strength as he was able to put across any detail of mountain bike technology without it being overly complicated or patronising. His leaving feels like the end of a era. Not sure GMBN Tech will be the same again.

[@tomrichards6207]

The show won't be the same without you Doddy. Seem like a real down to earth guy with true knowledge and genuine passion for all things MTB. Couple of dream bikes i couldn't afford at the time... the Mantis Pro Floater Carbon , Mountain Cycles San Andreas, and after just seeing it, that Xixang Titanium.

[@nicocornelis5926]

Thanks to Doddy I did my first fork service and now I have my own small suspension service shop. Wish you all the best!

[@tylertomasko]

Thank you, Doddy! You have been my go-to source for MTB tech and tips since I got into MTB about the same time the tech show started. If it wasn't for you and all the others at GMBN, I would have never gotten the confidence to take a bare frame and turn it into my dream bike. Wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope to see you again, maybe as a guest on the GMBN channels again.

[@jonh9777]

Good luck in the future Doddy, I've followed you through your years working on the magazines and then on to GMBN Tech. You have done a fantastic job building this channel with your team and I can't think of a better person to take the reins than Anna, I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it next.

[@ish474]

I keep meaning to send in my bike to the uploader. I bought it in 2019 and realized that I have replaced every part except the seat. Just did a refinish on my frame and now I'm dissapointed that Doddy won't see it. He is a big part of my MTB content and sopmeone I'd really like to show something I'm proud of!

[@markpeterson8978]

Thank you Doddy for your years of creative mountain bike knowledge and skill. You have been my favorite presenter mainly because of your love for the vintage equipment. I am sorry to see you go but I am grateful I got to spend the time I did with you. Cheers M8 - M

[@photofire100]

Really going to miss you Doddy here in SoCal USA. I’ve enjoyed your vids so much over the years and gained loads and loads of knowledge. Much appreciated friend from this ol’ 72 y/o Levo rider. Pls keep everyone in the loop as to your next endeavors. Cheers 🎉

[@willlange9978]

We will miss you Andrew! Anna, you’ve got this.

[@IbexCustomBikes]

A legend you are, Doddie. You’ll be missed, but I looking forward to whatever bright future venture you’re gearing up for. You’ve inspired me in so many ways, I couldn’t tell ya. Thanks from across the pond. You’re the Doddfather!!!! Love ya brother!

[@allanbuchan6947]

We'll miss you Doddy , just make sure you come back as a guest from time to time .

[@stujm8376]

For sure you have to, won’t be the same without you

[@bruceberry7230]

I watch EMBN. A few years ago I clicked on a tech video by Doddy. I watch religiously because of Doddy! Thanks Man!

[@elfo333]

I gonna cry. Thanks Doddy you gave me a lot of motivation and informations about mtb, riding, fixing mtb and more and more. I will gonna miss you at the tech show. Wish the best for your career.

[@jeffwertz8108]

Thanks for teaching me so much over the past six years Doddy. Your positive vibe drew me in and kept me, and you moved the community forward. Well done!

[@kokongjava]

Never bought my first MTB until KZbin suggested my GMBN Tech show with Doddy 4 years ago! More Power to you!

[@Seppster58]

I am a huge Doddy fan. My very first comment to him I actually addressed him as Andrew but was quickly corrected. Over the years I grew to LOVE all his content. Such a wonderful guy and I will miss him dearly. I will still get my Doddy fix through his Instagram posts. Love you Doddy. Good luck on your next adventure.❤

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Bye bye Doddy! It is a sad day. You are the best and you will be hugely missed. You have inspired me to dive into bike mech that carried me through the pandemic. And I have to admit after watching many many hours of GMBN Tech videos, this is the first and only one that made me cry. Best wishes for your new endeavors and I hope we get to share some of your future on KZbin or otherwise!

[@carravagio16]

Doddy is the modern day Zapata Espinoza for the new generation of MTBrs

[@petewright2283]

What a legend. Have pretty much followed and grown with you over the years. Have met you countless times. You are a face of the sport, industry and a guru. From tech to trail you are on it and sharing it. Thank you and what ever your off to do hope it’s happy good fun. See you on the trails

[@creekboi7]

I'm new to the Gnar, I've been watching for only a year now but feel like ive been here for years. The videos are infectious, and you'll definitely be missed. May the force be with you Doddy.

[@Jayneflakes]

Doddy always gave us his best side, no doubt where he goes next he will have the same values and dedication. Good luck and thanks for six years of cool tech and for liking the old tat that I submitted to the show, that remains in my toolbox to this day.

[@TryN2_Ride]

Absolute quality gent. No telling how much I have learned from you. My first ground up build wouldn’t have happened without a serious load of Doddy videos. Gonnna miss you on the channel, a lot, but looking forward to your next adventure. .. Cheers mate!

[@northener51]

Doddy You introduced me into having a go at maintaining my bike after getting back into biking following a massive accident at work. From that I’ve watched GMBN loads on how to improve myself as a rider I’m a mechanic at heart and loved your videos on how adjust and maintain anything on a bike and make it look easy giving me the confidence to do it myself You and your teams videos have helped me loads with giving me back some freedom on the trails and at home tinkering on my bikes after some dark times a few years ago after my accident Thank you and good luck on your next venture

[@jonoin35mm98]

You can't name a more iconic duo than Doddy & GMBN Tech! You've been an incredible presenter, bike nerd and educator for these past 6 years Andrew! You will be missed, not just by us viewers but I'm sure everyone at at the GCN/GMBN offices. Anna you're an incredible human, really wholesome ending, I think there was someone cutting onions near me while watching, as tears were forming.

[@Graeleaf]

So going to miss your energy and knowledge on the show. Good luck in the future. Thanks for all you have done!🤘.......and see ya soon!

[@meisterpetz3707]

Thank you for all these years. It was a great time.

[@UKSHARPSHOOTER78]

Doddy, you are an absolute legend. What you have taught me about bikes parts and building is a knowledge I'll carry everywhere it was your drive and your enthusiasm that got me into the world of mountainbiking and for that i thank you. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours and thank you for the time and dedication you put into your videos Best Of luck

[@drbrowny90]

I didn’t cry seeing Doddys eyes glaze over…. Been a name in my head since the mbuk glory days when I started riding as a high school kid 20yr ago. Hopefully your gonna continue with some form of KZbin 🙌🏼

[@raykleiner3151]

Good luck Doddy with the next chapter in your life. As a non techie, always found your easy approach to bike tech informative and useful. The only thing is I still can't shred the trails like you...........!😂

[@willlange9978]

Retro bikes… I loved all my ProFlex bikes. 854, 855, 856, and 857. So innovative even 10 years after new they were “state of the art.” (My first 1x conversion was in ‘95)

[@jamesthomasson8276]

Take care, Doddy. Absolute master of what you do…the love of the history and encyclopedic knowledge necessary to do it. All the best!!

[@rhysbrown3069]

Dodd! You will be missed! I thought I knew a thing or two until I come across GMBN tech all them years ago! Learnt so much from you and made me fall back in love with mountain biking again as an adult! Even if it has cost me £££’s!!! Good luck on your next adventure!

[@TCK71]

Cheers Doddy, you’ve repaired my MTB so many times! 👍

[@halseyknox]

Where are you going Doddy, thanks for all you do for the vintage mtb scene....I wish in America we had vintage mtb revivals like you guys do across the pond, its just a matter of time....take care buddy!

[@2scoops624]

Dang Doddy, you'll be missed. Such a wealth of bike knowledge.

[@RicQuintanilla]

Thanks for all the TECH , Doddy!!! it's been a great ride!!! you have taught us all a ton, and we (I) cant thank you enough! ! !

[@RobThePatentGuy]

Many thanks Doddy for all of the great tech and insights over the years. Please come back as a guest on GMBN when you have time!

[@HindsightFPV]

OMG how did I miss this? Where are you going Doddy? I've been watching GMBN for years and have to say the TECH show is what keeps me coming back. I was going through a pretty rough break up around the time Doddy started and boy did Doddy and GMBN help me remember what's important.

[@MobilidadeElectrica]

Will miss Doddy, learned so much from him…big respect. Hope to see you soon on your next project.

[@Brendan95902]

You have taught me so much, in such a fun to watch and learn way, Doddy! You are already so missed! Good luck with your next chapter! Fond regards Brendan In Pretoria, South Africa

[@pepochirawat4185]

Doddy, sincerely, thank you for everything ❤

[@alexford5214]

I’m so bummed Doddy is leaving. Super glad I still have loads to tech videos, to keep my bike running too top. As for Classic bikes, I really miss my 2001 Mountain Cycle San Andreas XC. I’d love to have just a frame as a wall hanger. Best of luck to you Doddy! Hope to see you on another channel

[@rhenthorn1]

Sad to see you go Doddy, been watching your show since the first lockdown, such a knowledgeable guy and engaging to watch. Think I’ll have to go back and watch all the old videos that I missed pre-lockdown! Cheers for the Vids, and all the very best in your future endeavour. Cheers, Rob

[@dannylilley88]

Someone pass me a tissue please 😢 it’s a good job we can save our favourite gmbn tech videos to rewatch 👌🏻honestly enjoyed every minute the video of you giving back must have meant so much ! But really thankyou doddy I’ve learnt so much over the years, good luck on your next chapter

[@darrenclemmy718]

THANK YOU DODDY YOU ARE THE BEST YOU WILL BE MISSED ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE

[@alexace2193]

Doddy! Thank you very much for sharing all the wisdom during all these years. Best of luck on the new assignment and in the future. You will be missed for sure - wishing you all the best always from Tampa, Florida,USA.

[@joesuelter1636]

Absolutely best of luck Doddy. You’ve been an inspiration here on the channel.

[@JarviTV]

Farewell, doddy. ever since i started mtb you have always been on my screen and guiding me to make my bike feel mint and look it to. thank you so much and good luck and fare well.

[@stevemelendez482]

I came here looking for Doddy. Your Knowledge is my blowing. Good luck!

[@sled5196]

Doddy was the first MTB KZbin presenter I watched when I first started down my biking journey 2 years ago and his calm and non-intimidating approach to bike tech and maintenance has been a big help getting this passion for me off ground. Be well Doddy. Good Luck.

[@nigelrandtoul8646]

Farewell Doddy, gone but not forgotten. I've learnt so so much from you, plus your attitude and integrity is amazing. You don't follow the narrative you are your own man, sticking to your principles and beliefs with a healthy dose of humour. Good luck in the next step of your mtb journey. 👍

[@RiddickLAD]

Best of luck doddy. When I 1st started mountain biking I hammered the tech videos learning so much. Feels like the end of an era, thanks for the content and all the best. 🤙🏻

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

Doddy, say it's not so! It has been absolutely brilliant watching and learning from you over the past 6+ years on GMBN! I keep my Nukeproof Reactor Factory Carbon running at 100% with your tutorials (bought new in '20, influenced by you and their channel sponsorship - still the only bike I ride for park and enduro!) - i.e. full fork & shock service/rebuilds + setup, derailleur install and tuning, everything to do with tubeless tires, and more! If you stay, GMBN will launch the Andrew Dodd line of Professional Hair Care and Bike Lubricant & Grease products 😜👍‼️ You're awesome, dude! Keep doing what you do 😎👍‼️

[@winklertribe5268]

Thank you Doddy! You empowered me to start maintaining my own bike rather than running to the bike shop for every little thing! We will miss you so much! I wish you success and joy in your next adventure!

[@desrosij]

Thanks Man for all that you have done to the MTB community, hope to see you at MTB festivals...cheers🤟

[@leeharrison5717]

Doddy is the reason I am broke. He inspired me to build my own bike from the frame up. I now have fallen in love for MTB, have several bikes and a bike cave. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance and best of luck for the future 👊🏻🤟🏻

[@peterrecchia6830]

I have to admit I am a little Choked up. Anna and the boys really knocked it out of the park with the gifts! Doddy, you have been my favorite presenter in the MTB space. In fact I would give partial credit to my return to the sport to you! I live in NYC and had started riding a Specialized Turbo Vado around for commuting. I watched you vid about securing bikes, which lead to more vids....and well here I am. I'm Even building my own bikes these days. Thank you for everything, I cant wait to see what's next!

[@hoff482]

Good bye Doddy! You have made me way more confident in tackling bike repairs and upgrades on my own. Good luck on your future endeavors!

[@PeterSlavin]

Legend!! Good luck with future endeavors. I have learnt so much watching Doddy over the years

[@nathanielbrice8725]

I remember Doddy’s first episode, loved his passion. Good luck in your next adventure. You will be missed.

[@120CCPM]

Doddy, best of luck and a big THANK YOU, I learned a lot with your tech videos and if I can say to be a semi-competent MTB mechanic by now, it’s in no small part thanks to you! Your knowledge is just impressive!

[@chrishaley1084]

All the very best and thanks so much for showing me and many other people how to repair our own bikes.

[@joelimpin1044]

Doddy.... enjoyed all of ur content!!! Thank you!!! You will be missed!!!!

[@brianflynn9928]

Best wishes Doddy! We'll miss you. Just picked up my Dream build project- '97 GT Pantera polished finish. Needs lots of tlc but your retro bike videos have ben my favs.

[@stujm8376]

End of an era for sure, you’ve helped me out so much over the years. It’s a good job we’ll have your vids to refer to, keep riding bro.

[@zeronerocks]

Doddy really sad to see you leave, but at the same time happy, once I realized that your next challenge will be a great one. keep the good work and your passion for bikes will endure

[@01FozzyS]

Sure am gonna miss Doddy. Well done with the gifts,Anna!

[@mimoschmidt9375]

Hi Doddy. I can not explain how much i enjoyed watching you. You are like an absolute friend to me. Take care, Timo!

[@jonj-lab4633]

Doddy, all the best on your next venture. You are one of mountain biking's great ambassadors on a channel chock full of great ambassadors. I got back into MTB'ing a couple of years back at the retro end, with a steel Stumpy I got for peanuts, and which is now becoming a bit of rat rod. Then I discovered GMBN and it's become a staple. You've built up an amazing resource with GMBN Tech and I'm sure Anna is gonna take it further. Can't wait to see what you're up to next - if you're involved I'm sure it'll be bullshit free & worth having. Keep smashing the trails and rinsing the tunes. You are the Dodstar, all the best fella!

[@kotelettschweiss7811]

Thanks for your time doddy. Youre one of the main reasons I got to where I am today. Now Im a huge nerd. Loved every Episode and nerdy Thing youve talked about! ❤

[@SousaSHJ]

Doddy thanks for everything, it was very nice to see all your videos and get infected with your passion for bikes and Tec 😊... Wish you the best for the future...

[@devinhulshof6631]

Cheers Doddy! All the best! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion! 👏🎉🤗

[@jonntischnabel]

A lad I went to school with, had a tushingham b52, his dad owned the windsurf factory. That lad had everything! Go kart, quad bike, full size snooker table!😂❤

[@davidsnow1481]

I’ve watched Doddy for years loved how he explained everything that he did he will be missed. My retro ride that I built was a 93 Cannondale Delta V. I went with modern drivetrain, 720 mm bars, linear pull hydraulic disc brakes. It was on the bike vault when Isaac Maundy first show Dirt Shed Show 426. Best wishes Doddy.

[@northernferretsvids...246]

Total legend....Your legacy is speaks for itself Doddy, you will be missed by all but, all good things come to an end as they say! Good luck with your next chapter, I am sure you are going to make your mark there too!

[@jamesyt211]

Farewell Doddy! You will truly be missed on the show. You've taught us loads and made me more passionate about mountain biking. Best of luck in the future, cheers!

[@monstarwrx]

Love to go for a few pints with Doddy and talk about the "good old days". Good luck for the future.

[@cavitand9]

We will miss you. Thanks so much for the great contents over the past six years!

[@The_Iainternet]

Farewell Doddy! Watched GMBN Tech from episode 1 and seen every video you’ve ever put out. Your unmatched knowledge and enthusiasm will be missed! Good luck for everything in the future!

[@joelankeny6277]

Going to miss you Doddy! Your love letter to Shimano Deore XT is by far my favorite piece you did! Wishing you the best in your next endeavor!

[@nicklowe536]

Good luck in the future without your videos I would not be the fix anything bike mechanic my son thinks I am . Thank you so much

[@amortiz32]

Doddy muchas gracias, cada programa aprendí mucho de mecánica y todo sobre mtb

[@jasonkiser3361]

Im at b old BMX ri DS we and I got back into riding MTB little over two years ago and when I got my new Virus I was scared to death to try work on it and I can honestly say in a short amount of time by watching Doddy I learned more about the mechanics of bike than I would have ever thought to the point I can break my bike all the down for greasing and cleaning and Im really thankful for that just know you touch and help so many of us you could never know and you have inspired me to speak up about MTB all the time I can go on for ever just want to say thanks Mate

[@jonnyscott7772]

Always miss doddy and his knowledge about bikes and he'll be missed and thanks for the laughs and the best wishes for the future

[@gibbykirwan7788]

Wait whaaaaaat! No Doddy can't leave. The chemistry between you & Anna is amazing. Nobody's got the knowledge you have 😢😢😢
