Except at 1:23 I'm cringing at the use of a metal flathead screwdriver to install the rubber piece. He noticeably scratched the frame too. Why not use a plastic pry tool, or something non-marring?

As a mechanic I love videos like this and laugh at people questionning anything he is doing as he is clearly very experienced. - Bearing is clearly the right way up at 2:29 - Saddle choise - some pro riders change them very often, especially if injured or suffering with saddle sorrs. - Using a screwdriver to seat the cable grommets, he didn't scratch the frame and these can be super tight to fit on some frames.

It is a wonderful video that is very polite and feels the craftsmanship. First, he doesn't have a ring on his hand. I feel the greatest consideration for the bicycle. Second, he cares about the rims when he mounts the tires. Most people put it straight on the floor, but he puts it on top of his shoe and puts the tire on. The third point is that the manner in which he does each work conveys a great degree of politeness. I want you to see his hands His nails are neatly cut and his hands clean and manicured. Most of the Dream Build videos on youtube just show how cool they are, but this one is the best I've ever seen and really shows the spirit of craftsmanship.

[@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

This is so relaxing. You see him perfectly install and tune the bike step by step without any failure. So relaxing. Having build a few bikes... and being just ok at it in everything he does I see the level of expertise he has. If this is not perfection it's close to it. Very humbling!

That was a great build. Thanks for posting. Nice to see a job done well on a top of the line bike build. I'm still old school (Cannondale SuperSix HiMod with 7900 Dura Ace) so seeing the latest frame tech and groupset install was nice.

[@thevintagehifiambassador8524]

old school, my bike is Jalaberts first Giant TCR 1, not the awful yellow grey one but the green purple carbon one

[@Swampster70]

@@thevintagehifiambassador8524 If you want to go older school, my "old school bike" was the bike I used for randonneuring on a few years ago, a custom Reynolds 653 that was built for me in 1994 with a 76 degree seat angle for time trialing with 700C wheels and not 24" pram wheels at the front! Turns out it was also better for me for road riding too due to hip inflexibilities. The fact it was all steel hid the fact that it was basically a 90's steel TT bike when I washed off the dust and brought it back to life in 2012. I stuffed a pair of mudguards on it and a set of tri bars and rode all day at 180 watts at speeds that kept me in blissful silence (which is the way I like it) as most sat on my wheel. for the 200, 300, 400 and 600km rides. Seems ironic that the bike that got me my first sub 22 minute 10 mile TT also got me my first 600km ride. Steel is real! LOL The 300km ride was the one that I decided that the San Marco Regal Saddle that I bought in 1987 had seen better days and needed replacing. I wont go into details but "raw like room temperature steak" probably paints the picture more graphically than a yellow TCR paint job. Truth be told, my Cannondale SuperSix is more comfortable and descends like a dream. If I could have a 76 degree seat angle version of that, I'd sell my car to buy it. The Cannondale was about as new school as I got before I stopped riding. I'm getting back into it but waiting until I (a) get really fit again and (b) stay fit enough for long enough to justify a significant purchase of another nice bike. I'm an old fart but not dumb enough to think that all of the old stuff was so much better. :P

[@thevintagehifiambassador8524]

@@Swampster70 Hello. I was just talking about the design and the colours. Rabobank Colnago orange white blue one was my dream. Last time I rode a bike was in 2011, for 30 minutes. I'm an old fart too :-)

@@thevintagehifiambassador8524 Sounds like a nice bike. I do like the old Colnago and would like one but the seat angles are way to set back for me. My eyes would love such a bike, my back would hate be for the rest of eternity. LOL

I love how it is a bunch of nice and clean shots done in the first take. They aren't going back and adjusting the cameras and re-doing shots just for the sake of more professional videography. Just letting us enjoy the professionalism of building the bike. For example the dog being blurred or the gearing not falling out all at once, a professional videographer would go back and re-do those shots but they are not related to the bike being built so they are left as is.

[@jeffkennedy5448]

Outstanding video. I really like his looping the handlebar tape around the lever body technique. Been building bikes for many years, but never tried that approach. A good video for pro riders to watch that drop & toss their bikes on the pavement, many times on the derailleur side (to which they should probably receive a little whack upside their head).

[@sjmclean0]

Is that not the standard way to do it? I've never seen any other way?

@@sjmclean0 It is the standard method vs the reverse wrap (which is what I prefer for a cleaner no finishing tape method)

[@joeblogs8589]

The powered roller used to bed in the brakes is a great idea, but it wasn't designed by an engineer. The design is flawed. The designer thought it a good idea to put a notch in the two rollers in an attempt to contain the rotating wheel and keep it in the centre. However, the physics doesn't work that way. In that scenario, the tyre/wheel will always want to move to the major diameter on the roller. This can be clearly seen in the video at 18:01. The tyre forcefully seeks out the major diameter as soon as the roller builds speed. Either keep it flat or bulbuous, but not convex. Other than that, if I had a bike shop I'd buy one of those. The bedding in of brakes is the single biggest issue with disc brakes on bicycles.

[@SODtv]
