Hey brother, you should have a way for viewer's to send you components we have removed and could contribute to your parts bin. I have like 6 shocks, breaks, rotors, seat posts, derailleurs, and other relatively high end components laying around.

Not a bad idea, but - oh boy - this is where flipping bikes could easily start to appear really not so profitable, especially for folks with a less legit shop setup to streamline the work. I've "made money" flipping a few bikes, but with the time I put it's only justifiable if you enjoy the time spent (which of course I do) - basically view it as a hobby that makes some money/supports itself and you can't lose.

Buy a stand alone bike stand for around £50 and a very cheap table cloth for around £5. Spend a little money on tools or just borrow some from a friend and you have a space that you can work on bikes!! I have built a custom bike in my bedroom with virtually the same stuff, and if you check out Seth's earlier videos, you will notice just how small his area for working on bikes is!

You can find a lot of tools for dirt cheap at charity or antique shops which will do the job. Or chances are if you have ever put together some furniture, you will have the Allen keys which come with it! The bare minimum will do for bikes, and tbh you dont really need all the high end tools unless you are working on bikes all day every day!

I am a bike enthusiast to the point I haven't owned a car in 11 years. Bikes are expensive and are usually at a price point I will just move along until I find one that fits. My point is I don't like overpaying for bikes knowing that at the heart of most $200 bikes is a beast that can be brought out with some well chosen components and like you I have years worth of good components in my bike barn to put to good use. I think $600 would have been more than fair for this Kona - it's a Kona and that alone is a premium that can be safely added to the value of the bike. $450 was a steal knowing how much detail and time you put into these bikes - you are a stud man - keep 'em coming and going!

Each time you sell a bike, that is then your budget to get the next bike and keep reinvesting your profits until you can get the dream bike.

Man seeing this series I realize how lucky I have been with my patience and watching Marketplace. Picked up a 2011 Giant Rapid 3 for $150 that was very well loved, my local bike shop said I stole it after the inspection it only needed a new chain and nothing else! My newest one is a Motobecane Fantom Trail DS full suspension that was $320, it needed a new front tube and rim truing, as well as a standard tune up. So right about $400 total and the bike is ready for anything this amateur can throw at it. Thank you for all the continued content, I started riding with friends about 20 months ago and your channel is one of 3 that really got me hyped for getting back into the sport.

I bought a bike on FB that had tar all on the underside of the frame, BB, and chainstays. Goo Gone worked like a charm, just let it set for 30 seconds, then I used a toothbrush to agitate, then just wiped it off with shop rags. I dig this restoration/flipping series, keep them coming!

Seth, I rewatch these old flip bike videos because I like working on my old bikes and your videos inspired me. I wish you would continue this series. I have upgraded a 2006 Santa Cruz 26er Heckler and my 1987 Giant ATX-780 hardtail both with TRP disk brakes, new Rock Shox Recon air forks and SRAM NX/GX 1 x12 drivetrains with wider bars and shorter stems and they are both a blast to ride.

After reading through numerous comments the most valuable of things is not included in the breakdown of component costs. Labor. Time spent from looking for the project. Purchasing the bike. Teardown and rebuild. Posting an ad and communication with perspective buyers. There is a lot of time in this project. Even the revenue that this video will earn is not going to cover your labor. Time is hands down the most valuable. There is no amount of money that purchases more time. No idea what a solid bike tech makes. My observation is you're in the red on everyone of these. But it was entertaining. Good job.

Aaahhh. In retail there is a strategy. Loss leader. It draws customers in because it's a great bargain. Once inside the customers sees all those things they had no idea that thay had to have. Those things are sold at a considerable profit. So they come to Seth's and binge the videos. Hit up the merch store and book the BnB for a week. Very clever.

Hey Seth, absolutely love your videos man. Just got my mtb a couple months ago and hit a few trails since then. I’m realizing the bike isn’t exactly as I’d like but I don’t have the bike knowledge to know how to tune everything to my liking. I was curious if you had any videos about tuning the more tedious parts. If not, maybe you could do a video about that in the future. Again, really love the videos and I give full credit to you for my new obsession. Thanks man!

I really appreciate these types of videos. I used to mountain bike when I was a kid. But I got out of it. I still own my 06/07 Trek Fuel 70. Its a medium frame. I'm guessing we bought it while I was still expected to grow... turns out, my body decided 5'4 was the best height and I should be on a small frame. I'm slowly getting back into the game. Seeing 1. the prices of these new bikes, and 2. not knowing if I'm really going to go hardcore into this sport again, I appreciate the fact that you are showing the audience that you don't have to have the top of the line equipment to get rolling. Eventually, I'd like to get a bike that fits me better. But I'll ride this until I decide if upgrading is worth it. Thanks for sharing some inspiration!

Big fan of your videos! I feel your parts are worth much more. A 10 speed cassette with that rear derailleur is closer to $100 used. The saddle is at least $20. You are giving some great deals to people and bringing old bikes new life so that alone is worth it. These older bikes are starting to be similar to classic cars where they are constantly increasing in value.

I used to work in road construction, specifically applying joint sealant. When you get tar on a bike (or car) just apply gojo hand cleaner. Don't use the kind with pumice, it will scratch the paint. Little elbow grease and soft cloth will remove the tar. Lanolin dissolves it. Nicely
