damn, that is one sexy set of wheels! Awesome work, looks sublime!!!

[@Cyps36]

Good stuff, getting experience with pro mechanics on your own bike.

For sure!

Kudos to that guy for not flinching once when talking about the Stages power meters!

perfect music for this endeavor. Well done!

[@SeanMatson]

I enve you!

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Beautiful to look at, but like so many bike now, a mechanix nightmare, changing anything now is so expensive time wise in the workshop.

[@Milessongs]

Sweet ride! I’m not sure how i feel about White bar tape… but perhaps i’ll get used to it!😅

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I was on the fence too but now it’s on I really like it. Won’t stay white for long tho

[@trust5977]

I’m interested to hear what you think of the Fray. I just ordered one a couple of weeks ago to replace my 2015 Domane. Excited to get out on in soon.

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Stunning colour that

[@rug212]

Absolutely love the color!!

[@walrusbiteme]

I've had my road bike for over 20 years. (It's titanium and good for another 100 or so.) So many miles, so many memories. I don't know if it fits me perfectly or I've grown to fit it. I couldn't imagine riding an different one. But after just one year, swapping yours for a very similar one won't be hard.

[@Pete68T]

Y Tubers Are All About Themselves !!!And Selling Themselves to Get New Things Free or Cheaper Nothing More.Keeping a Bike For 20 Years is Better for everyone.

[@jameswade4097]

Good for you. I have a 2002 Trek 7500fx "hand built in the USA" yes a Trek made at Waterloo, Wisconsin. My newest bike is a Trek domane 4.5 2012, no disc brakes, no internal cables, no electric shifts, no hassle. Both keepers.

[@schsch2390]

Looks north of $12k retail, probably a snazzier bike than half the women's pro ranks ride.

[@TheHuester44]

Definitely a top end build ! Lucky You 😊

[@lazlo2511]

Glad I don’t work for Enve, you’d seriously get an email from me!

[@adamvancleave8961]

Do you still ride for MARIN?

[@Jackie_Rosewood]

Congrats🎉🎉🎉 this bike looks amazing !!!!🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you

[@wherespinto]

Hell yeah congrats good looking ride 🤙

[@paulsmith6553]

Sweet! Love the color.

[@Chrisocuk]

Any issues with the removeable downtube plate and mechanism? Any rattle? Do you think this would hold up long term? I'm not sure spares are available? Designs like this seem susceptible to road vibration issues/wear long term.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Well… I’ve only had this bike a couple of weeks but I’ve ridden it a lot and not noticed any rattle yet

[@SeanMatson]

Hopefully not hookless

[@johanmelin9313]

that is a cool bike wow🤩

[@karengleason4791]

The title reads: "....BUILDING my new road bike" - Nevertheless, a quarter of the video show people talking and not people building something, half of it from out of a CAR.

[@scottwatson7844]

Very nice it looks fantastic.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Cheers ☺️

[@lindy-loumaddock5979]

WOW!!

[@barrymullen5242]

I think you exaggerated your involvement in building your bicycle.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I think it’s pretty clear from the video - if you watch it - that I’m doing most of it myself. I mean, you can quite literally watch me do it 🙄

[@barrymullen5242]

@@JulietElliottsChannel Okay.

[@darrenrogers5735]

Looks like a fiddly and complex build to me. I'm staying with basic mid school stuff that isn't too exotic and technical. Good experience for you nonetheless Juliet.

[@kbesner]

What is the wrap/cover you have on the di2 wire going from the frame to the rear derailleur? Thx!

[@ampgb223]

nice paint but take it from someone who has a white bike and bar tape it gets right mucky very quickly, clean them with cif, enjoy the ride

[@learning2tri729]

White Bar tape - errr.. hummm no, should have used the benny hill music - that would be hilarious

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Congrats, love the bike!!! Please tell us the weight and tires? I am Envious of your new Envy 😂man you are going to go soo fast on this new bike and really enjoy it tons!!!! Oh yeah, I hope they let you have it to keep, really this is the top model of do it all bike!!! Hurry up and do a video with a ride please!!

[@daviddjerassi]

OMG WOW who is a very lucky person please do a follow up and tell us how it rides PG you will be safe .

[@rrosomasa]

i thought this was going to be like one of those super cool ASMR build ups.....

[@200KCycling]

That mould is incredibly close to the carbon Diverge, even down to the tube storage and the mounts on the top tube. Would love to see a blind test on it to see how they compare ride wise.

[@markwood4984]

Hi, well done with the cool bike. Whats the weight? Please

Congratulations, it’s a beautiful bike!

It's a beautiful bike! 😃👍 One thing isn't my cup of tea: I think the color of bartape and saddle should mirror each other. That's my taste. 😉
