The ULTIMATE YouTube Super Bike!!! (Hambini, Cam Nicholls, China Cycling, GC Performance)

[@GCPerformance18]

First, I would like to thank the customer for sending me all the products and be able to build up his products for him, I appreciate the relationship we have and is a great person. Now for the bike and the build, I am absolutly in love with the final product, it is such a beautiful build and scheme... The bike looks classic and elegant while also looking modern and fast. The builds are always fun and I love what I am able to do for a living. Let me know what you all think of this build and this bike, and if there is anything you would change differently.

[@auricschiller]

Damn you are getting close to 100K!

[@robertcatuara5118]

0 friction, 0 drag? Even Hambini had to laugh at that statement.

[@DP-PhD]

CarbonTi discs. Not worth it really for the decrease in weight, increase in performance, but the aesthetics would really fit with the carbon on the forks etc, mmmmmm

[@charlesblithfield6182]

After 35 years riding (I’m old) I changed crank from 170 to 165. I’m 5 foot 9. Wish I did it decades ago. It felt so good I tried 160 on another bike. It was even better. I’m thinking of trying 155. My hardtail still has 172.5 and it feels terrible - my hips rocking all over the place, knee cap strain. Definitely recommend giving it a trying you can.

[@charlesblithfield6182]

The “tech” look of this bike and proportions are superb and that size frame and those deep wheels are perfect. The colour plus black components works really well. I bet it’s super comfortable to ride plus fast and responsive. Definite envy felt over here.

[@82vitt]

Those Time frames are on another level in terms of comfort, but then a lot of it comes from using a thin seat post instead of a deep "aero" one and optimising other tubing for comfort and not for aero gains. I have got an ADH01 and it's a magic carpet. One thing to watch out with Time frame sets for though is the sizing as they come up larger than what their sizing chart suggests.

[@82vitt]

The OSPW hurts my eyes though. It looks daft and shouts to the entire world "all the gear, no idea".

[@jrmhng]

I have a similar build. Same frame, same wheelset. SRAM Force shifters, SRAM Red chain and cassette (rainbow), Cybrei crankset, Carbon Ti chainrings, custom paint. Handlebars are from Avian cc (you can get them from Panda Podium) and a generic seatpost

I really like Time and Look as brands as they’ve been around for years and you just don’t see them out on the road. Trouble is finding one to test ride at least in the uk is pretty hard.

[@jayjohnson7594]

12:12: The maximum tyre clearance as specified by Time on their website is not 30mm, but 28mm. Great build, great bike!! Fun to see a bike build based on KZbinrs' recommendations! I have a black one in a size L, not quite as light a build or as 'youtuby" as this one, but I LOVE it! Great handling and super comfortable bike, would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great allrounder. If you're a weightweenie or looking for a full-blown aero racer, this is probably not your bike.

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

[@garybird8646]

Nice to see this build, wouldn't be my first choice of parts though. Opinions are like nostrils we've all got them but I think a build needs to compliment the frame aesthetic. The bars would be better on a full on aero bike, the stem looks oversized for the tube dimensions and that seat post with the two bolt designed dated and fragile. I'd put 40mm rims on and wouldn't run more than a 28mm tyre for the extra clearance. Time make a beautiful frame, the KZbin guys aren't giving them gushing praise for no reason.

[@ciprian7]

Beautiful bike, most impressed with how sleek the front end came together, i am a big fan of Time bikes.

[@johnrodgers6049]

The front triangle is built as one piece and the rear is one piece. The way the seat stays are bonded to the front triangle necessitates the single tube design. May not be your aesthetic cup of tea, but Time is more about the tech than the look. Form following function. If you look at some of the videos on how Time uses woven carbon instead of pre-preg (like most big brands), it’s impressive. Time builds all of the frames in house, not contracted to factories in China like everyone else.

[@dakalla]

Beautiful bike, but it came out quite heavy for an XS size, relatively light wheelset, duraace groupset, light pedals and super light Schmolke parts. Would have expected it be at least in the 6,8kg range. Where is all the weight?

[@ciprian7]

all the weight comes from the frame, headset, bottom bracket, handlebar , everything else is silly light and boujee. Schmolke components are as light as they come, wheels are silly light ,pedals and saddle too. Time frames are not light but in fairness their XS is equivalent on M/54 most brands.

[@marcinstyle85]

@@ciprian7this frame look way smaller then size 54 frame....

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea the frame is not lightweight by any means the fork felt stupid heavy compared to other bikes I normally build. Also ultegra and the handlebar.

[@Dr.Schlitz]

In 15 years of cycling, I’ve never had a headset bearing wear out.

[@craigpavia8943]

37years!

[@rayF4rio]

Depends where you ride and the road conditions. I have bike in the Philippines which I'm on my 3rd headset bearing in 5 yrs or riding it - 25 and 28mm tires, 36,000 miles on it. Luckily its rim brake, so easy to change. I am hoping to get better wear from my new ADHX with 30/32mm tires, since it damps vibration more. I detect wear by holding the front brake and rocking the bike. If I have the bearing top cap pre-load set right, and there is movement, that indicates bearing wear. And yes, the concrete roads are rough here, not like asphalt in most western countries. Riding on rougher roads also really gives you an appreciating for wider tires and dialing in tire pressures for optimal ride comfort vs rolling resistance.

[@housepfhoopz]

really depends on your rides and conditions sometime it's caused rain and sometime its cause sweat

[@GCPerformance18]

here it is so humid, like crazy humid, plus we are right next to the ocean like a literal beach separates us while riding, so a lot of ocean mist.... it happens so much here.... plus early morning even if there is no rain, we have crazy morning dew, so it literally makes the bikes have a constant water film if you ride early morning

[@VeloSyndicate]

If you ask me by the time you have to replace a headset bearing you should replace the hoses anyway. They expand after time and with the bends in that bar I’m sure they’ll kink with time.

[@ssenssel]

I've done the math, the total cost of the bike is one Brazilian dollars

Obviously my thumb sticks out and it wouldn't be safe to ride anything but uphill like that. All that said, I can't get over the looks. Such an eyesore lol. I don't understand why they couldn't make a more traditional looking handlebar that flares on the tops the way this bar does but without the weird separate bridge in the front for the mount etc.. It would actually be awesome cause then you would be able to install a longer stem too to compensate for the flare back / shorter reach which would look more aggressive. anyway..
