I Surprised Deserving Brothers With Mountain Bike Overhauls!

While selling two mountain bikes I found a buyer who was looking for a new bike for his younger brother. I pressed him for detailed, and finally I offered to do an overhaul on his Trek Marlin for free. But when I received the bike, I realized it had a lot more wrong with it than I could help with.

[@topspot4834]

Agreed. Not trying to pat myself on the back, in a way it was selfish, but instead of trying to get $300 for an older bike I no longer use, I donated it to my local high school's MTB club. Our LBS tuned it up for free and we split the cost on a few upgrades (derailleur, chain, tires and saddle) plus I threw on a fresh pair of grips I had laying around. My out of pocket expense was less than $200 and I got the satisfaction of knowing I got a kid on a bike who wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford it.

[@Adamas_83]

These last two videos have been amazing to watch. I love seeing honest, hard-working kids get recognized and rewarded for their humility, and it's awesome for the future of our mtb community!

[@RudiDwiHartanto]

These polygons are everywhere. Thanks for your kindness Sett much needed

[@dblevins343]

They're just super affordable brand new and well speced for the price.

[@danielb6472]

​@@dblevins343yep, they use the same frame for all their models, (within the same family at least), and do a decent job of forgoing better parts when you're not gonna see a big difference, hence saving money. I bought a T8 earlier this year and have only felt the need to swap out the dropper post lever, seat, and brake pads. I did do bars and went tubeless, (with stock wheels and tires mind you), but those weren't quite needed, just a preference. The bike feels so playful that I'm inadvertently finding things to jump, curbs, rocks, stumps, whatever, it feels like I took 20 years off my riding style. Good times.

[@notchipotle]

They're priced just right, modern geometry at affordable prices

[@dblevins343]

@danielb6472 the D and T series are different frames but only slightly. I'm sure that has to help with manufacturing somehow. But they definitely put the money into the parts that matter. Solid drive trains but nothing crazy. Solid brakes at the price point. Suspension that fits the geometry. But most importantly, they actually provide riders with modern geometry at an "affordable" price. When it comes to hardtails, I always recommend other entry level hardtails. But when it comes to someone looking for their first full-sus. Polygon is extremely hard to beat.

Great video, I’m a Trek guy and about a year ago my wife wanted to do some trail riding with me but she refused to let me spend 3K on a bike for her. I wasn’t having any luck finding what I wanted her to have in the correct size used so I did some research and got her a Polygon Siskiu D7 from Bikes Online. I’ve been super impressed with the bike and Bike Online took care of an issue immediately, I would recommend them to anyone…great job Seth.

[@Durwood71]

"...she refused to let me spend 3K on a bike for her." So that's when you buy her a $3000 bike and say, "What, this old thing? Nah, I got it for cheap!"

While that was beyond adorably sweet for Seth to fix up their bikes, as a middle/little sister, I can feel Samuel's pain of always getting the hand-me-downs. My older sisters always got everything new cuz they were older and/or they bought it themselves. And my little sisters always got new things cuz they were the 'babies'. I literally had to turn 18 just so I could buy my own new stuff!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@augenmaugen]

Thanks for setting such a good example for the rest of us. Kindness really pays long term. My wife and I were just reminiscing about how 15 yrs ago, our 2nd together, we were tying to stuff our Christmas tree in the back of my Accord Coupe trunk (seats down) as we had successfully done the year prior. We knew it was hilarious and a definite college-esque thing to do, but the tree was bigger than before and it wasn’t wanting to go in. Just then, an older guy drove by in a pickup and offered to drive it home for us. It was like 10 mins away for him, so he probably didn’t think much of it, but it was a big help to us and made such a big impression that we still remember it vividly.
