What was that bike? Mystery Bike is the Golden Goose - Modified Mongoose Durham 26

[@reeceholmes8546]

good looking machine, colours work well, the forks really set it off, thanks Kev

[@3Dsjk]

Kind of looks like Ironman armor.

[@JaredUnashamed]

That is a sweet bike. I love red and I'm not a gold guy but that combination looks awesome, very retro. I think that 26ers are a lost size but still needed. I commute with either a 27.5 mountain bike or a 700c gravel/road bike and I look at the 26er I've had for 20 years now and say, "why don't I ride that?" Don't think I'll every get rid of it and I need to just get out and ride it.

Really good looking bike, beautiful build congrats

[@whateverrobert]

That is a nice budget build for sure. Nice color schemes. Hits correct

[@aaronbehindbars]

Smaller diameter wheels ride rougher, all other things equal (air pressure, tire casing construction, suspension settings, etc) because of tge smaller diameter. More of the wheel falls into a hole and when uou roll over a bumo, the larger wheel has a shallower angle of attack to roll over the bump. Also, a 29er tire has a larger contact patch, so therr is more material to absorb shock.

[@01FozzyS]

Have always loved this build,Kev. Ali Express or not. Great choice of colors.

[@michaellowery928]

Beautiful build! Keep 'em coming!

[@Tarkov.]

The gold and red is such a vibe, makes me think of a honda CBR

[@samthecat8829]

Thank you, I was one of the folks asking about this dream machine. Great build! Can you put double crown forks on any mtb? Love that look.

[@raylaux8295]

Kev, get the Advent X 11-48T cassette and Trail Pro shifter for that Acolyte. It works flawlessly

[@KevCentral]

Thanks for sharing

[@theshonen8899]

Not just flawless but better than the AdventX derailleur. The Advent X derailleur uses a ratchet clutch that allows some movement before engagement of the clutch which makes it noisy on every small bump. Acolyte derailleur clutch engages instantly and is much quieter.

[@raylaux8295]

@@theshonen8899 Acolyte also shifts better with the clutch engaged. Crisper per se.

[@waktosha7378]

My only problem is it being an aluminium frame with an integrated derailleur hanger! That is always a deal killer for me.

[@KevCentral]

Yeah. Never a good thing

[@VentusHarpus12]

it looks my custom built hyper explorer! all gold and red!

[@Sylvan_dB]

Looks sharp. However I think the valve stem caps should be red! 😀

[@TE_53349]

kev, you need to level out the suspension stancions. the compression stancion is lower than the air stancion

[@michaelbedard7859]

Looks amazing 👏 unbelievable

[@willardbuchanan9122]

I remember that bike that looks good

[@fubbaquestor]

29" has an easier angle of attack for obstacles which rolls easier. Think of it like running over a pebble with a skateboard wheel vs a 20" wheel. The pebble will be more jarring to the skateboard than the bike

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

That thing is badass

[@martinb9032]

Looks amazing tbh 1 really really big problem tho. No derailleur hanger is unacceptable lol. Apart from that it does look really nice 👌. I'd of risked those parts on a different red frame tbh with the derailleur hanger so I could actually ride it. Sweet bike tho

[@richdavenport7751]

Really nice bike

[@harrygrimley4352]

Looks cool. But to flashy for me 😊. Roadnado roadnado roadnado. A new drinking game?

6:44 that's actually a hexagon. 😁

Didn’t realize I said octagon 😂

its like a real hardcore hardtail

Looks ready for rampage!

Its called a 'Triple Crown Fork''.....You should know that..ha!!

All that is missing is King Charles riding it!

[@mrupholsteryman]

IF I had that bike.... I'd ride it till the frame broke....cuz it might not ever! 😊

Needs to be a 69er mullet !!!

The hta with a mullet setup would be extreme for sure

[@dogit1840]

See you kev I'll take a break for a while by the way your voice doppelganger is a KZbinr that built a 5 acre pond

[@KevCentral]

Wow. That’s a feat. Who is that…I feel sorry for them getting stuck with this voice?

Triggered by unevenly clamped fork on upper clamp 😅

When are you going to do your next Bike Barn live video

[@KevCentral]

I’ve had a few people ask that recently, so I guess it better be soon 😁. I usually wait until there are compelling topics.

Yes comments are not showing up I said the bike is out of stock
