Hey all! January has been quiet. I wish I could tell you I have been on vacation, but I haven't! We've been behind the scenes building momentum again after the holidays, and setting the stage for a fun and interesting 2024. I hope you all are enjoying life and keeping warm. Enjoy this compilation I put together to hold you over. More good stuff is on the way, and I even have that clapped out GT to restore!

Your bike flipping videos aren't the ones that brought me here but I think they might be the ones that keep me here. It's very well done and an entertaining way to learn bike repair. You never know what issues you're going to encounter and we get to learn your thought process and methods you use to deal with those issues.

[@joelharmaning7354]

I was lucky enough to purchase the flip bike at 58:35 for my son. We've since ridden Berm Park, DuPont and all over Pisgah with it. Thank you Seth for all you do!

Sir, you’re awesome, the content you create and put out there is absolutely amazing. I’ve been watching you for years now and honestly your videos helped get me through my divorce a few years ago. They helped keep me going in a healthy direction instead of losing myself to depression. Thank you for everything you do.

[@xXProG4m3rLP95Xx]

I've just been stumbling into the mountain biking topic over the past weeks (being a newb roadie annoyed by winter conditions). Your channel has been getting me super excited - and my wallet very scared - because of all the diverse topics you are covering in the MTB world. I didn't know you existed 14 days ago, now I'm a fan!

[@BermPeakExpress]

To protect your wallet, right now is probably the best time to get into this activity. For a bit, you'll be seeing some pretty steep discounts, and hopefully you can use these videos not to spend money, but to save it. That said, if you go out and buy a new bike tomorrow I'm not mad 😂

[@DocHolliday3841]

​@@BermPeakExpress Seth, flip bike is the best segment you've ever put out, please keep'em coming!

[@Dreamweaver94]

Flip bike videos are some of my favorites from this channel. I'd love to see new ones! But yeah, it's always nice to see old bikes get new owners who are going to keep riding them!

[@savagechild8943]

You legit inspired me to go out to a pawn shop and I bought a mountain bike for $40. It was a pile of junk that needed a lot of work. Few amazon purchases and a couple weeks I now have what I’d consider a very nice bike that I enjoy riding. Great videos. Keep up the good work.

[@worthtryingonce]

Thanks for helping restore my motivation to wrench on my family's old used bikes. Would love to own amazing new bikes someday but I'm grateful for the videos you have put out Seth, it's made it possible for me to get into mountain biking with my kids on a very low budget. Single Mom amateur mechanic here!

[@Trucktiger2468]

This has been in my feed for a few days and I finally have the time to devote to one of my top fav channels. Rewatching these flips reminds me of the various fix-up options to be used.

[@kurtpeterson6293]

Great content for a snowy day spin on the trainer. Thanks Seth!

[@graysonstark9573]

I run a bike shop and this is exactly what we do on a daily basis! Love to see it :) great stuff ❤

[@codyhirsch2230]

Flip bike created a new mountain biker. Thank you for all the great information and motivation to get out there and ride.

[@clouder2098]

you where correct Seth. this video is keeping me alive this cold winter

[@Zaba...]

Fixing up old bikes is very rewarding and creative for me. Did three this year and have a couple more in the works.

[@aljusteriniflores7589]

Been super stressed recently. Listening to this has been my therapy. Thanks seth!!!

[@lucafwn]

I love that first one. I am currently working on a Bianchi Cougar from the early 90s, and this DiamondBack is a good reminder that it can be done.

[@merckxy54]

Thanks for the content. I bought a second hand mountain bike off of Facebook market place last year and after seeing your video's I am now going to do some upgrades to it and turn it into a one by!!! Thanks again!

[@q.morrison_]

Flip bike got me into reselling used bikes, and so far I've made around $150-200 from it. Thank you for inspiring me (and many others) to get out and do this!

[@ReefSurfing1]

Nothing like a Berm Peak marathon to help get through a snow day. Stay safe and warm out there in NC.

[@HS-11]

The GT was my first ever berm peak video! New to mountain biking, and now I can’t imagine my self without it. This channel makes me love mountain biking even more. Thanks seth!

Finally: the ultimate video for a rainy day

[@dapidizme]

One of my favorite bike-related series ever. 2 hour compilation? Hell yeah I’m watching it all over again.

[@pinoyteam6417]

This was fun & satisfying to watch. When I was 10, up until I joined the US Navy at 20, I did all my own bike maintenance and repairs & took things apart to see how they worked. I turned 20 in Dec of 1988. It's been a long time since I've done any bike work. When I happened onto your YT channel in 2016, you inspired me to get my 1st full suspension mtb. Tyvm. But I now take my bikes, especially my Emtb, to a local bike shop. Since the end of Covid19, I started acquiring some bike repair tools so I can do some of my own work. So far, so good. For the really technical work, the bikes go to the shop. I will take on some of the more difficult work eventually. As always, maintain your excellence and peace out.

[@josh19930]

Absolutely love the bike flip series. For one, it teaches me how to service my own bike. But your content is just enjoyable to watch. I could get into your videos even if I didn’t have a bike. 👍🏻

[@owent_yt1771]

I'm a photographer who loves mountain biking. right now I'm editing a bunch of photos from three recent events. Watching this video right now while editing these pictures.

[@lucentdiagram41]

Could you possibly have some tips on getting very nice edits

[@sihatch670]

So good. Could watch these all day long!!! My dream job includes building and refurbishing bikes in this way!

[@orkakayaking4441]

This is one of my favorite videos. Thanks Seth. Keep them coming

[@claygrigsby1280]

You have the best mountain bike channel on KZbin. I learn so much from you. You do so much for mountain biking!!! Great video

[@Coastal_Cruzer]

This is like a glimpse into life at a bike collective. Lot of older bikes (rarely see anything newer than 2006ish)

[@stephenbutkovich1014]

It was fun to revisit your past projects. Here's an idea for a future flip - turn a 90s-era mountain bike into a 'modern' gravel bike. I know it's been done, but not with your style and panache. And with all the gravel trails we have here in WNC, plenty of places for folks to ride it. 😎

[@chachilinares]

This video is literally perfection. I just got my firts mtb ever in my life and I am so excited to work on it!

[@VanGogh1999]

I had a Topanga in 96, 97 and 98. It was a great bike. The frame was steel and it was heavier, but it provided an excellent ride in the early days of single track and down hill.

Hey Seth, great marathon! I’m new to biking for the most part and have a Mongoose Juneau fat bike. I bought it during COVID when prices were sky high and haven’t done much to it. I would love to see a video of you upgrading a budget fat bike with great parts. I plan to ride this bike for a while longer before adding another fat bike, but I want to do the work myself. I’m learning a lot from your vids, thanks!

[@sleepa20v]

I’ve seen all this stuff already and you better believe I’m gonna watch it again! ❤

[@jtelvis3]

That video is how I discovered you both! I was just getting into bikepacking and thought to myself, "I bet it would be awesome to bikepack to Key West!" and searched "Bikepacking to Key West". Thank goodness I saw that video first! Haha!

[@FiiScHeR11]

awesome video! watched them all but this just makes it easier and re watchable!!!! 🎉

[@sapinva]

Those Wake 35mm stems are pretty good. I've used them on quite a few builds. You just need to tap all the way though and use longer bolts.

[@bikdav]

This video was very informative. You showed things that I did not know.

[@andrew8200m]

The last bike here in the list you've said no one is going to buy it. You have no idea wrong you are and how much want there is for that bike from me and many others like me. You just don't get this sort of thing on the market unless it's built yourself. I 1000% approve of this particular build, its incredible. Old school MTB meets Gravel with a flat bar vibes. YES.

[@samuraile6625]

[@andrewpeterson5882]

1:49:10 as someone who rode a fully rigid all-surface touring bike that I converted to flat bars on mountain biking trails before saving enough for a full suspension bike, I agree that dropper post alone accounts for at least 50% of the improvement in riding experience over the fully rigid bike, it's nuts how much that changes things. I would ride full rigid again but never without a dropper.

[@Vastafari34]

This makes me so happy.

[@Chojimaroji]

Hey Seth, I have a different but kind of the same trick for installing grips. If you don’t have an air compressor, you can plug the hole on the other end of the bar and then tap the grip on. The pressure inside the bars will allow the grip to pop forward with each tap.

[@Alex-jh7vy]

Hi Seth, I really like your videos, I watched a lot of them, found u last year and I learned a lot on how to make trails and bike stuff in general. Watched some older videos too. I would really appreciate if you would consider making a video about fork service, more exactly forks with spring like Zoom!

[@andyk3643]

2 hrs! Perfect timing seeing since the next 7-8 days up here in Wisconsin are maybe a high of 0. So much snow that the fat tire trails are gonna be a bit because of many downed trees, and brush. This video may hold me over for a bit, or make me very impatient with the weather. Lol.

This is awesome... Been looking at picking up an old Specialized that needs loads of work... It'd be a slow overtime rebuild/upgrade... I've talked myself out of it quite a few times.. But after watching this compilation.. I'm thinking about it again... Did you ever manage to identify the one bike that was unidentifiable??

I do agree with you regarding not really doing this for profit. BUT you are showing us that buying used and cleaning up, and restomoding a bike might be a way to go. of some, myself included, fixing bikes up to give away (Charity). Thanks for all that you do in your vids.

I enjoyed this video so much i didn't even realize i had watched the whole thing until the end!

[@grantc8353]

Major respect. You put in an absolute shift to fix those up

[@pentiuman]

You're right about that it's not usually best to clean a bike w/ a pressure washer. Forcing water at pressure against the bike could put water into areas it slowly dries, so slowly, it encourages rust and the corrosion could seize parts and make removal difficult, if not break something in the process. I like to use Dawn Powerwash cleaner, sometimes w/ a used toothbrush on select surfaces like tires - where you need a tiny brush to scrub between tread lines.

[@mtbhunter2189]

Happy new year 🎉
