This series has been absolutely terrible. It just encourages foolish behaviour. My new Bridge Club frame arrives in a few weeks. 😂.

Great video. Ill go with the rigid 29" x 3" Krampus👍 Thanks genius biker man

If I had unlimited money, this is the types of bikes I'd assemble.

I often match my upgrades to the cost of the bike in base form or frame cost. For this one, I think the upgrades are reasonable. The lights are overkill but hey it looks dandy.

Neither. 😂❤

I have enjoyed the series as a (2020 27.5) Bridge Club owner. I started with complete bike and have about $1500 in upgrades and I count touring-overland bags in my outfit. My drive train choices were the most similar going with yours but 2x9 CUES with cabling going top pull. Still to is a dynamo and light. The experience will have me build from frame and fork out modern rando-light tour. The Bridge Club is to me the ultimate ATB.

Thank you so much. This video helped so much on my build.!

Teravail Ehline 2.3 would’ve been my choice and as far as colors there’s too many choices, but that recent Lavender on the Midnight Special is pretty sweet. I don’t remember the name of it but that freeridey hardtail in the safety orange was pretty nice also🤔

Crazy fits.

I want one to go with my KM.

Great series guys!! Loved watching the build! It’s nice to see a project like this where quality is the #1 driver of choice, not necessarily cost. I’ve been riding for a long time now, 1980 is when I bought my first serious road bike. As I’m in my 60’s, I want to get a bike with more of a relaxed ride position, elevated stack height, etc. my plan for upcoming retirement is to head to the rail trails and stay out as long as possible, as often as possible. The Bridge Club really checks a lot of boxes, and I’m just inspired by your build. I am going to have to pick your collective brains and see what direction I should go in! Thanks for the excellent content, your channel is superb!! Stay safe and be well

Love my bridge club. Been slowly upgrading over the last year and it keeps getting better and better

Great videos. I bought a Velo Orange Passhunter frame and built it up last year. I built it up for about the same cost as the Bridge Club. I learned a lot and ended up with a bike that I probably wouldn’t be able to buy at most bike shops. Enjoy your day.

Personally I'm looking at a cost below $1500 total out the door. This cost is nuts. The industry has lost its way. Hell I only paid $3000 bucks for my Suburban and it's a go anywhere ,any time transportation, and I can sleep in it in any weather.

I think it would be reasonable for local bike shops to curate the customer, encourage them exactly what you showed, buy a complete bike and have an idea of what they can change over time, over a year or two to make it more personalized. You could do it by having things on display that show potential upgrades that the rider will really enjoy rather than things they see on TH-cam and come in asking for. First would be wheels and saddle and maybe bars rather than the fancy stuff they’re seeing on TH-cam like the latest electronic shifting drivetrains.

You helped inspire me to buy a Bridge Club and get off my eBike

How about light touring or bikepacking rig for your next project!?

What size is that Ghost Grappler in the background and would you consider selling it?

I'm a fan.... I'd probably take the incremental approach to making changes - as that would allow me to undo something I wasn't happy with before switching something else.

Ottawa Bike and Trail, LLC, nice content

Ottawa Bike and Trail, LLC, I'm hooked on your videos, keep them rolling

Hold up, I didn't see any coverage of you changing the frame color in the previous episodes. If I'm not mistaken it's no longer the same green color, looks more like a very dark grey. Or is it a different camera / color correction?

sweet build! I'm also planning to build a new wheel. What's the spoke length did you use?

Where can I buy surly? I'm from Malaysia

Amazing build! Very beautiful color combination. Silver parts just like the good old days. Maybe you should have found a silver rear derailleur deore rd m591.

This is an exciting video. I have an inside scoop on an older Velo Orange Rando frame that is in a barn with a lot of other bike stuff. The owner is downsizing. Seems like a fun project. Enjoy your day my friends. 🧡

I put a 29er front end on a 27.5 bike and it corners better than my 29er and the front end doesn't wash out like my other 27.5. It may be a fade but man that bike is great. Surly might want to consider a special custom build with the " mullet setup 😂 ". It seems like it wouldn't be all that much of a hassle. Great videos man, I'm interested in getting into bike touring and looking at Surly. You are the only person I've checked out about the brand and I'm learning a lot. Thank you.

this is a great video simply because it mimics what you're going to do in your garage. These bike repair/customize videos never show how many times bike shops order the wrong parts, or think somethings gonna work and it doesn't but it's edited out. There's a lot of trial and error even with people that do this for a living. thanks.

Wow!!! All bikes should be built the way they were back in 1985. Rivendale works the hip-retro-perception-thing and unaffectedly embraces the standards of a by-gone era. Nicely done.!! Luv how they used the lugs in the visible areas, and the color.

get a ergo cork grips

if someone wont cheaper marin muirwoods have similar geometry

Insane collection

Man, that looks like a super fun bike to ride around!

It’s fun watching your build progress. I finished my first build last year. A Velo Orange Pass Hunter. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment creating something unique to you.

I love the New Albion 42/26 crankset. It seems to work well for me with a grx derailleur although I am running friction shifting. Love your channel. Enjoy your day my friend s.

Solo había visto imágenes en Instragram de estas bicicletas, no las conocía a fondo, excelente video

Skidmark brown

Oh, how special! Love those partial-wraparound seat stays.

Beautiful bike, and a beautiful build! Well done! Many years ago, I had a Rivendell Road Standard, handmade in Waterford Wisconsin. That bike rode like a dream and was always a breeze to work on. I rebuilt it a few times - some for fun, and once after dropping it in a lake. Ride on!

I have a gen 1 Surly KM, with many Riv styling cues. People have called it a Riv-Monkey... Yeah love the Riv brand.

I found OBT through a Bridge Club search and followed the build and got a warm n' fuzzy for the store and channel. Now, a X0-1 build? wadda F! I wish that I was still in the bike biz, lived in Ottawa and somehow got to work at the store. Anyway, loved the nostalgia around the Bridgestone catalogue and wish I kept mine. And I loved the resto mod of the X0-1. More W n F's

How are you able to fit downtube barrel adjusters? This frame has no threaded boss’s .

beautiful

I’ve been admiring Riv framsets for a while now. It’s hard to explain to some that you can be a “serious” cyclist and have no concerns at all about how fast you are riding. Thinking about a Clem or Roadini for next build.

They forgot to put at the tube any hot-line number.

I finally get it. Used to think, why not just buy a cheap old bike and fit it up for MUCH less. But after working on some 80's and 90's mountain bikes lately, I now know this is basically a modern high quality comfort bike with a retro vibe. My wifes Globe is probably faster and just as comfortable and versatile, but I have to admit, you put together a Sweeeet bike!!!

Every shop that sells Rivs should also sell ascots & top hats.

I love my Hilsen and Hubbuhubbuh.

Hmmmm. $2k frame. It’s pretty. That’s a lot of money for a bike that’ll rarely break 12 mph. It has Marin county written all over it.

Love the tire color!
