*Just an awesome **Latest.Bike** ....well constructed, sturdy, great looking…got me back out on the trails!! Could not be happier!!*

[@booger5514]

Bernard is a sponsor’s dream! Professional, competitive at the top level, very entertaining to watch, and is a knowledgeable, genuine spokesman for the brands he represents. Simply the best in the business at this entire package.

It’s hard to overstate how different this is from a Sam Pilgrim bike build video

[@cameronlaing261]

Yeah Sam just casually chucks 1000 pound shocks about

[@oliverfarrer3316]

No matter who’s channel I’m on I alway see something about Sam pilgrim and how bad he is at assembling bikes

[@cameronlaing261]

@@oliverfarrer3316 it's true tho 😂 man uses a curb to file his forks 😂

[@TheDarrenJones]

Was going to say exactly the same thing. I love Sam, and he's an amazing rider... but I wouldn't let him fix anything of mine!

[@maddog4390]

@@oliverfarrer3316 I'd say it's more his attitude toward things is different. Not enthusiastic and lacks the passion BK is showing

[@matttenpenny5637]

It would be sick if Barney good give us a tool box tour! His case set up looks mint and i love the way it all fits into a portable case.

Such a sick bike possibly my next bike 🤟🏼 that bike build was so good to watch no camera trickery no shitty music 👌

[@Headlands_CalvaryChapel]

Just got the orange one. Opted for the black 38. Soooo happy with the way it looks.

[@DarkKnight0183]

Ohhh yess. I was looking everywhere for this build. Thank you Bernard 👍🤘

[@mattmatt7360]

Brought this exact bike because of your video…. It’s by far the best kit I have ever had.

Great. I have a Switchblade; now I just need a Trail 429 and I'm set!

That bike is amazing. That mechanic is a BADASS. I bet that would retail for around $10,000 or maybe even more.

that green frame looks insane

No way is there a sliver perlecent on it! Such a beauty my dream enduro bike is the firebird! I love them!

[@RAVS_73]

Good looking bit of kit.

[@jonathanhowson6420]

I seriously considered buying a Pivot frame just based on the fact that I really like Bernard. The two deal breakers were the pressfit bb, which is an absolute no in my book after a number of bad experiences, as well as the super boost spacing to the rear hub. I made an investment in boost Chris King hubs several years ago and I intend to buy frames to fit those for the foreseeable future. Hopefully the big boys like Santa Cruz and Specialized will keep the 148mm spacing and super-boost is just a passing fad. There wasn't really anything wrong with 142mm for most riders. You could still run 12-speed on an XD freehub.

[@tomosusherwood1371]

Nice one barney

[@andrewpm2]

Hell of a mechanic! Tell Pivot to make a Mach 5 150/140 trail bike already

Awesome build and ride love the format

[@walterbrown6388]

I was really looking forward to watching Barney use a block of wood to install the press fit bits. Next time.

[@frankthetankricard]

I think you put the shock hardware on in the wrong order around 4:10 in the video, thankfully it's a very easy fix. I'm quoting from the Fox eyelet hardware maintenance guide: "The 7-piece Crush Washer eyelet hardware assembly is made up of two beige colored flanged bushings that are pressed into the shock eyelet. A hollow pin is pushed through the flanged bushings and centered by black Delrin spacers and Crush Washers on either side of the eyelet. Thin o-rings go between the spacers and flanged bushings to prevent contamination and premature bushing wear. The Crush Washers have raised domed portions that are depressed before installation and take up any play found between frame and hardware."

[@nousername2483]

The tool you used to cut the bars at 3:00, you should be turning CLOCKWISE NOT ANTI-CLOCKWISE. It cuts without needed burred after.

[@troyrogers1236]

that bikes pretty sweet

[@texlish7467]

I put some 70s funk porno music on in the background while I watched this bike build. Perfection

[@eliduffer2491]

Nah imagine your bouta go on the trails and you see a group of guys building a bike😂

[@Headlands_CalvaryChapel]

I think you need to have a garage sale. I would fly to the UK from California just to grab some stuff.

[@TheSimong69]

i think bernard should give one away as a prize... lol

[@saintberry]

Man, that was relaxing to watch haha. What tyre compound and sidewalls on the DHFs? Do you ever run inserts?

[@natronbetticus]

love the top of trail build-up! you musta been stoooooooked! but which is more fun? the 27.5 mach 6 or the 29 firebird?

[@theREDC0de]

I don't know whther or not you're asking this question to help you with your own decision or just because you're interested in his opinion. But if you're asking for yourself you should really do yourself a huge favor and ride the same trail on a 27,5 and a 29er. The thing is both are great. But I bought a 29er just to later find out that I prefer 27,5. Not a huge problem but I still had to spend time reselling and buying a new bike which could have been avoided if I would have simply tried both beforehand.

[@SuperD-MTB]

Your next "Dream" should be about a COIL SHOCK!

[@james-hb5tu]

Forest green is easily the best looking frame color, but those mustard color grips are an odd choice for this bike

[@ryananderson9394]

What about the green pistachio fox 38?! It’d look bomb on the green firebird Bernard!

[@carpetburger]

buddy you need a radio mic. love the vid.

[@Lylisuvanto]

Working those fox boy filmers? Great quality video!

[@crazymtbrider]

Tidy it looks so light and nimble,a set of triples would look meaner

[@76jazza]

Nice Looking Steed looks plenty ready for the spicy stuff, what are those sweet as magnetic tool holders barny has got in the lid of his case for his flash allen wrenches???

[@WilsonV4FCV]

All black wheels would have been better i reckon

[@frankthetankricard]

All black everything would have been better to be honest, none of the colors match up decently with that green frame. The video was good regardless.

[@jrbechthold]

[@CaBdosdos]

Not a bad looking bike still prefer the last generations.

[@7hhuman995]

Yo, I seer you used Shimano dura ace grease in your bottom bracket shell... Is this so you can easily swap bottom brackets, swap for fresh bearings? Seems like it would start creaking at some point with Bernards extreme pedaling forces. No locktite? Just curious as I'm a mechanic at a Pivot dealer. Thanks, boys!

[@colbyblasenak1770]

Tell me Barney isn't the best in the game! You see him eye balling Bernard when he was pumping up his tires and they weren't popping....he was like Bernard don't fuck up my build...lol
