Cade Media's New Gravel Bike

Sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the workshop in this series dedicated to dreamy ASMR-style bike build videos. Chilled Builds blends the arts of bike building and filmmaking to showcase beautifully unique custom bikes in a calming format.
- Jimmi D - Co-Founder of Attacus and CFO of Cade Media
Originally from Cardiff, South Wales, Jimmi quit university to pursue his dream of becoming a rockstar. When this inevitably failed, he fell in to a Finance career in London.
Looking for escapism from a corporate life that didn't suit him, in his free time he became obsessed with running, cycling and filmmaking. These passions eventually lead to the creation of his clothing brand Attacus.
Jimmi now leads a quiet live in the beautiful North East countryside with his wife Emily and dog child Bella.

- Nic Vieri - Co-Founder of Backyard Bike Shop.
Prior to leaving South Africa, Nic was a junior national-level swimmer and elite racing cyclist. He started his career as a bike mechanic in 1999.
Nic co-founded Backyard Bike Shop following his departure from the British Armed Forces - where he continued to race bikes.
Nic is Afrikaans first language; he actually only started learning English at the age of 9, and completed an Ironman in flip-flops because he forgot his trainers.

I swear Jimmi, I queue up your videos whenever I am stressed. The sheer joy of watching a bike assembly ballet quickly gets me back to centre. This is an awesome build and gorgeous colour. Thanks.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Glad you enjoy them, Jim. 🫶🏼

[@biking261]

I aspire one day to be able to wrap bar tape as good as Nick

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

25 years of practice.

[@KNURKonesur]

I wanted to learn that as well, but recently decided to buy a reusable fabric bartape instead of the spongy synthetic ones, the manufacturers suggested wrapping it the other way around (i.e. finishing at the bar end, not beginning at the bar end) and it changed my life forever. no need for tapes and I can take it off, wash it after the rainy/muddy period and put it back on. although it's not as comfortable or aesthetically pleasing as a nice "classic" tape.

Your's and Francis' channels are pretty much the only ones I watch at regular speed, instead of +1.5.

[@crankgreenwatts]

As someone whom struggles to tighten up bit and bobs on a bike I just love watching these videos 😰 I have learnt from them so thank you for the content and keep them coming please 💚

[@jpvdw1961]

What, what, what..... mechanical 2x drive train and cross chained at the end of the video. Love it. All my favorite bits.

[@oscsun]

Chilled builds! Absolutely love the format! 😍😍 And love the look of that bike too!

[@malcontent_1]

Geez, look at all those "extra" cables stuffed into the head tube. 😏😉 What is this 1983?

[@drevo50]

Wonderful looking bike, expertly built. A truly mindful experience to watch!

[@cb6866]

Thanks Nic and Jimmi....uh , yeah. Footwear choice ? Please be safe , you need your feet to work , and what's the gap between bar and top tube ?

[@MarcEstrella]

[@brianpurcell9058]

@Jimmi Media it did mate !!! Old Eagle eyes here noted it 🤣lol

[@dominicbritt]

Nick looks palpably incandescent about having to work with cables 😊…

[@Cetrifuga1945]

Bella la bici

[@matthewshaw3747]

So many new bikes.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

😮😮

[@oheso]

Nic, we've heard you on your preference for Sram and the convenience of wireless builds. How was the GRX full cable build?

[@squallkiercosa]

It seems there's a spacer missing? What did I miss? Is it the stem or the cable thickness?

[@Sem84]

Mechanical shifting? Shimano?? What happened to Nic? Where is the real Nic? 😀

[@oheso]

Another great job, Jimmi. Have you considered a career in film?

[@janskokan11]

And the big space under the stem is OK?

[@MRBLAND1986]

Hi am looking to get into gravel riding I have only ever owned mountain bikes and am looking to purchase my first gravel bike can you please recommend good first bike on the lower end of the budget any help would be much appreciated

[@FruehSteffen]

What ist the Frame Sizes ?! XS 50cm or S 52cm ?! Thanks for a Info 👍🏼

[@paulbarratt2789]

Nice build apart from using the cheat strips.

[@Roger101Watson]

2x and cable gearing Nick must have hated building that?! 😂😂😂😂

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Next build vid has front mech and Speed plays. 😂😂

[@Roger101Watson]

@@Jimmidoesstuff Nick loving life! haha

[@clovisw]

Heya, quick question, is it neccesary and do you bed in your disc rotors?

[@Dermo1985]

This the same frame he cycled across the US on? Hardly a new bike more just a new configuration

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Nope. New bike.

[@Dermo1985]

@@Jimmidoesstuff so he’s got two now? Not including the tuned one, he’s only got one arse 🤣

[@Pillokun]

I love the look of carbon frames but I just cant get over that we are so screwed over when we pay for them. The margins on those frames are insane. I rather prefer to get a steel frame because I know that I am not being made fun of by the brand I buy it from when they take my money to the bank while laughing at how naive I am for paying so much for such a cheap product to manufacture.

[@5amba]

mechanical GRX and that cockpit... 😖 why all the downgrades?

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Downgrades?

[@5amba]

@@Jimmidoesstuff compared to Red/XX1 AXS and Syncros Creston SL

[@KNURKonesur]

it all depends on what you want to use the bike for mate... for example to me an electronic groupset and hydraulic brakes are a downgrade from my mechanical ones that I can easily fix on long technical bikepacking trips in the middle of nowhere.

[@mael5405]

What is this derailleur? 😂

[@KNURKonesur]

@@mael5405 what do you mean? It's a GRX810, which is a very good derailleur...
