Mitch is quite fortunate to have a frame he built himself, in a class that no longer exists, taught by a legend and master of the craft. Money can't buy that experience!

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, I like to think that Mitch is fortunate too, for all those reasons.. Thanks for watching!

[@markifi]

looks like a lot of fun

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, and no one got hurt!

[@jedschleisner8960]

Wow! I sure miss mountain biking. As a 56 year old mountain biker I broke my neck, and damaged my spinal cord. As you get older, when you hit the ground, some of us break. I was a quadriplegic for a couple of week, but walked out of the hospital after 6 weeks. I have some major issues but I’m glad to be alive. Be careful you guys. I sure would love to be out there with you guys, and I dream of riding one of Paul’s bikes. Paul, you sure are a craftsman and I really enjoy your content. Thanks

[@tednruth453]

Jeez! That's scary af and inspiring at the same time. Keep working at it, the only way is up. I'm the same age, broke my collar bone over 20wk ago just getting back on the road. So hang in there ✌️

[@oreocarlton3343]

I was thinking the same when I watched this footage, totally reckless riding for their age

[@joepeanut6827]

Why should age be a facture, if you let your age stop you, you will stop living at 50. way to go guys. the battle scars of life only let people know you are still in the fight. . Never stop living, there is a lot ot do out there.@@oreocarlton3343

[@omi55ion]

It's great to see you guys riding the trails on new and old Brodie bikes. It's pretty unique to see what really happens out on the trail. Most MTN Bike videos are edited to only show the perfect ride.

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks. Yes, I was hoping my crash would get edited out, but that's not real life....

[@rickfazzini22]

Looks like the bike did well and looks like your doing well Mr. Brodie ! So cool to see all those past and current Brodie bikes getting a workout.

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks Rick. Yes, that was a good day and no one ended up in hospital....

[@MaratBakirov]

Ride your own build bike from scratch, how cool is that?!

[@paulbrodie]

That's what I like to do. Nothing better for sure! thanks for watching..

[@mnw1871]

As an old duffer and part-time frame builder, this brings a joyful tear to my eye. Great bikes, Paul!

Great to see you out having fun Paul! We would like to see you out on one of your beautiful motorcycles next! Great video.

[@ThomasDiFrancesco-Schäfer]

A perfect day, you can't buy that for money. Whishing you and your friends a good time. Just enjoy it.

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks. It was a perfect day!

[@jimgourgoutis]

I'd love to see a video with more details about the Libido -- that's a model I'd never heard of. Didn't know Paul had a production FS model -- cool!

[@JohnAlsberge]

Yes, 26"mtbs steal going strong! And a Libido episode if you would please Paul. Thank you.

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, nothing wrong with 26". So you want a Libido episode? Had not thought of that...

[@bake162]

It’s just has to be 100 X better on a bike you built yourself

[@michaelhofer233]

very nice to see you enjoy your work w/ a group of friends - enjoy! btw: classic example of "kodak karma" display by one of your friends in the jumps segment..

[@polderfischer8565]

Wonderful trip with wonderful bikes and nice people! Sadly mountainbiking in northern germany is a bit like kayaking in a desert...😅 Greetings

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you. Come to Canada and ride our trails!!

[@peterhambrook3757]

26" wheels are the future. Nimble and quick to accelerate. Steel is the future. Small tubes in a 71/73 geometry for a zippy ride. The 1990s were the future.

[@JohnAlsberge]

Yes indeed. My 26" Surly Instigator is over designed and over built (it's got a head tube gusset) with 80's, 90's 71°/72° XC geo. Stable as hell on DHs because it's over built.

[@paulbrodie]

Nothing wrong with 26" wheels... But I do prefer 650b....

[@MegaTubescreamer]

wish i`d been there ,that was a fine baptism paul, well done to you all ,and the dynamic cameraman, 😁😎👍

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, kudos to Mitch our videographer extraordinaire...

[@davidvalletta2755]

I love how “gravel” biking in BC is like cross country mountain biking in Ontario. Looks like a great trail. Nice looking Brodie (and Mitch) bikes all around.

[@bananabrooks3836]

Yes, it's a bloody silly moniker.

[@davidvalletta2755]

I agree but own one too. Lol. Mine is more of a cyclocross bike for gravel road and “rail trail” rides.

[@eugenedebruin3694]

Gland that there were not any injuries. Nice photogahy!

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, we all survived. Mitch is good with the cameras....

[@donhuebert9151]

3:26 "ah shit!" haha yup. Looks like a great day of riding. The very best therapy no doubt.

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, it is good therapy. Thanks for watching...

[@psclassy1123]

Nice to see the watershed. It’s in my area but I have to revisit it sometime.

[@paulbrodie]

Not super technical at all, but fun!!

[@davidprocter3578]

Paul on my bike I have mounted one of those annoying automated voices at the push of a button it chimes out WARNING WARNING GERIATRIC RIDER COMING THROUGH. I do get some funny looks but nobody looks too surprised when I fall off.😁

This was a lovely video, it was so nice to see you taking a work of art and using it for what it was built for. Thank you for sharing your journey with this frame.

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you very much. We appreciate your comments!

[@roddas26]

Where was the gravel, must have blinked and misses it?

[@paulbrodie]

The gravel was on the access road. Did we not show it well enough?

[@James-gx7sk]

I’m digging BC gravel🤣. It’s good to see you out there!

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you James!

[@Metal-Possum]

I didn't know you dabbled with URT designs in previous years. I might find the courage to forgive you for it one day... That kind of riding is great though, leisurely with some excitement, amongst some particularly pleasant surroundings. More than just a gravel road, but far from the modern definition for mountain biking. There's a trend to revive the term "ATB", maybe that'll happen as the spectrum between gravel and mountain is increasingly blurred.

[@paulbrodie]

I designed the Libido close to 30 years ago. A lot has changed since then. Yes, there are a lot of different segments in the bicycle industry now, and lines are very blurred..

[@jimbo7484]

So happy for you!!

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you much...

[@Артур-о9л2ъ]

Nice ride, Paul!

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you!

[@chrisallen2005]

Hey Paul, that setup ypu have there looks like a hybrid. Does that mean that a gravel bike is really a hybrid with drop bars? We did that setup "back in the day" if you know what I mean.

[@paulbrodie]

I think the lines between types of bikes has become very blurred in the past decade... In my mind a gravel bike is a LOT like the mountain bikes we rode in the late 80s and early nineties.. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kris8165]

Wonderful bikes 😀😊 Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you Kris. Best wishes to you in Croatia!

[@jdawgmotor330]

With some proper instruction, that feller sending it with zero regard for his safety could clear those easily. He definitely has the heart! Glad to see you out enjoying decades of your creations.

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, Colin can clear that gap, but remarked that his seat was set too high, causing his crash. That was a fun day!

[@woodmt.5548]

Thank you for publishing the wonderful frame-building series. I was captivated from start to finish. As a Japanese person, it makes me happy when you mention names like Tange and Shimano. I own two city bikes, one hardtail mountain bike, and one flat-bar road bike (with a chromoly frame). After watching your videos, I have come to appreciate the importance of taking good care of my bikes, even if they are mass-produced in a factory (possibly made by robots). I have learned that assembling a bicycle frame requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Now, I find myself examining the weld beads on my bikes, wondering if they are brazed or TIG welded, and thinking more deeply about bicycles. Once again, thank you.

[@brianyoung9014]

Good to see you having some fun.

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks Brian..

[@graememorrison333]

It's a mountain bike!

[@nicodanger13]

This bike is really nice but is a rigid MTB, or a modernized way of a '90 MTB...

[@paulbrodie]

Nico, you are 100% correct. Thanks for watching!

[@fordbailey8173]

great work, Mitch !

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, Mitch got the filming all figured out....

[@darkcrystal999]

Rigid fork is ❤❤❤

[@madmax2506]

great fun.....thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍

[@bradsanders6954]

It appears that gravel biking is different up that way, those look like mt bikes on mt bike trails, and looks fun! Im 66 but am out on all sorts of bicycles and motorcycles pretty often, like 180 miles a week on road bikes usually. The whole "crashing and flailing" on mt bikes is fun, but there's nothing but rocks around here. So maybe not the best idea for longevity. If you get an E mt bike you can crash going WAY faster if that's the intent.

[@paulbrodie]

You are right, we were not on "gravel", but it was fun. That's great you are still riding so much...

[@bradsanders6954]

@@paulbrodie Those look like really fun trails you were on!. I got a new knee in 2015 and have been back on bike ...I did get a really nice e mt bike, somehow it doesnt get ridden much...My 24 lb Intense Sniper goes instead.

[@leslieaustin151]

Nice bikes, all. I’m growing to like the sound of those Hope hubs. I learned morse code at the RollsRoyce Amateur radio Club in Barnoldswick, (called Bar’l’ick by those who live there). And that’s the same town where Hope hubs are made. Maggie Thatcher (👎🏻!) put Barlick into Lancashire, but really it belongs in Yorkshire, and is proud of that fact. A nice ride out with friends in the woods. Impressive collection of bikes, and riders! Oh, and the engines in Concorde (and in the TSR2) were made by RR in the town, and were known as ‘the RB211 engine = Rolls Royce Barnoldswick 211. (Not a lot of people know that!!) Thank you for all your videos. All good stuff. Les in UK

You mad lads!

[@budlistar5312]

Ahh, pristine wilderness………….and a man hole cover.🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🚴🏽‍♂️

[@lunkydog]

Is it normal for the freewheeling ratchet or sprag to be that loud?

[@x5-acousticguitarstuff.2]

YES it is and some people love it loud.

[@whateverbikes]

Great vid. Plain and simple camaraderie, spending time in the outdoors, some tomfoolery, and being active. That’s what mountain biking was all about when it started, and for me, that never changed. I think it’s a big reason why gravel biking is so popular. As mountain biking got more and more extreme and bikes got more complicated, gravel biking brings it back to the essence. As a side note, for me this video also confirms my opinion that ebikes are NOT a good thing for older riders. The tumbles and falls in this vid are all withouts consequences, but would they be had these guys been on a heavy, faster ebike…? Fun can be had on a slower pace, without keeping up with the young guns.

[@heyimamaker]

I never did learn to ride with clips. And I miss my old hope brakes. My calipers got destroyed by really salty winters worth of riding 😢

[@strereo242]

Superbe machine ❤

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks a lot!

[@oreocarlton3343]

Wtf was with those jumps and falls!? If you are not into that kind of riding or stopped for some time dont do stupid and ride with your limits and build up SLOWLY, most injuries are prevemtable

[@slicedbread9003]

Nice to see you out and on the trails, Paul . The bike looks good. I'm glad this didn't turn into a bike comparison, it was good to see you all riding different bikes and just enjoying it. Also Mitches bike looks great. Love the music, it fits the video just right.

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you. It was a great day to be out on the trails :)

When exactly is a bike a "gravel" bike?

[@jptrainor]

@connyconiglione Thanks. Quite a complete explanation. Based on that I can correctly call my recently acquired, and soon to be upgraded, early 1990's Norco Bush Pilot a gravel bike. Which pleases me.
