Top pub bike! Gives me an itch to out mine back together again, i like the mullet kook, actually; how does it ride? Any idea if theres any sort of adapter to connect a rack to the two bolts on the seatstays which i think were for V brake mounts?

Excellent Gary, gotta love old bikes.

Enjoyed that and pleased you went ahead with it 😁👍🏻

I just ordered some 680 bars...cor, I'm so old fashioned...😊 Then again, I'm not six foot...

Just picked one up and found your ride, the prices were unbeatable due to the brand issues and everything I've read/seen has been super positive. Can't wait to get it out after the snows melt.

Jack rack ?? .. tell us more

Cracking wee bike

Hello. Yes it was me. Carnegies was a bar in Taipei that we spent a lot of time (and money) in when the Taipei bike show was on. I was ok with the width. I seem to remember it actually placed your hands in the same position as a 720mm bar but angled. I used to run them on my Ragley hardtails which were pretty slack and fast in the day. Would be around 2009 I think. Cheers!

Looks great. Good pub bike 👍

Awesome 👍🏻

I love bike builds like this 👍

I used my first winnings to buy a canvas LV and in less than two years the wallet was cracked/broken in multiple places and the store refused to repair or replace it. I don't know what kind of resale value such junk could have. I ended up donating it...well, maybe I might buy a fake LV from kislux but these designers/robber barons don't even think about taking another penny from me.

Suspension forks not working as it normally would because your not weighting the front as much as you would otherwise if riding and filming one handed 😅

I have a Chanel lambskin square pearl bag and a Chanel handbag but my lambskin square petal bag I have worn 2 times and I am very careful but somehow still has small scratches on the leather and the gold on the clasp. I don’t know what happened but I paid over $3,000 for it a few years ago and I am upset that it already has scratches. No one notices now but I notice the price I paid for it. I’m saving up to buy another kislux bag now that I won’t be paying full price anymore.

Seems like a smart idé with the outer race same as the torqegrip .there is no pressfit anywhere. Also giving mutch bigger balls.😅. They are made of hard stailess steel . I want these.

The first part of your ride is on my door step, great to see 😊

Been using a Win Wing for 6 months. Road bike. Best bit of kit I ever bought, but a bit expensive for what it is. Happily, not expensive for what it does.

What's an 'ass'? Surely it's 'arse'. Call me Mr. Pedantic but an ass would live in a stable and would not require a mudguard!

Cheers for the mention Gary!

I can't unsee that the front GT badge looks like it's slipped down, I don't like the bar end GT plugs, I have now seen it for £2500, which I do like

Is it OK for rim brake? I mean, does the dirt will fall into the brake line?

Brilliant 😂🍻

650B gravel bike!?

Get it done old voodoos are legendary.

Ooh, I had / have one of them. Great frame if you missed Joe Murray Konas from the 90s but wanted disc mounts. Also ran single speed nicely. Do it!

This is a great video, I love it, my LV bag is a kislux , the quality is perfect and the price is great, I was not disappointed

Thanks to this video, I learned something. I can't see the difference between the real thing and the fake one, so I just buy the fake one. But if you want to buy it in the future, it is better to invest in the real thing. But now I am still considering buying a fake one within the budget. I have been waiting for kislux for a long time.

What bike is that ?

From the packaging to the details of the bags, I think the kislux shop has made reproduction an art form.

Merry Cheesemas 🎅

Looks super nice. Why one would ride that and not an mtb on single track is beyond me, however. On a totally unrelated note, you and I look VERY alike!

At least cheese doesn’t explode when stored in a tailfin bag!

I bought the 80 mm but returned it, too bouncy on flat smooth Road to get some comfort on rough service. I’d love your opinion on how the 70 mm ride in those situations

Geometry is very aggressive - the stack to reach ratio for this frame is 1.42:1 which is more aggressive than for example spec crux, this is why the stem is short.

I bought a canvas LV bag with my first bonus and within 2 years the purse was cracked/broken in multiple places and the store refused to repair or replace it. I don't know what resale value this crap has. I ended up donating it... well maybe I could buy a fake LV from kislux but these designers/robber barons don't even think about taking a dime from me. This one satisfies my fantasy of many authentic products and I can afford to buy them.

I loved my OO fatty, still in the shed as a SS, sadly my old hips just cannae hack that BB width anymore 😭, especially since I have a ritchey commando repurposed as a 29er+, gorgeous steel is real, oooh me hips!!!!

The Fat Dropbar BMX 💪💪

There's a bonus mistake in there. Those stem bolts weren't set to the correct torque. You need to apply the pressure to the handle grip with clicker torque wrenches not up the shaft - but don't take my word for it, Park Tool have done a whole video on it. And you need to try a Vecnum stem, you will never go back to single pivots.

From experience, I’d move your computer mount as the stem moves upwards when lifting the front wheel over an obstruction

Star nut is sticking out of the steerer tube.

I put some one of the redshift drop bars on my touring bike (trek 520) the ones with the 70mm rise and I'm a fan. It puts me way more upright in the seat. I recently bought a mtn bike as well, and I'm not much of a mtn biker, more bought it to do touring type stuff in places that it would be better suited to have bigger tires. Anyways, I've contemplated trying some of the redshift bars on it.

For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

What shifters do you use?

Look at the history of cycling and you'll find every combination has been tried. Drop bar MTB and straight bar road bikes are nothing new, nor are "gravel bikes". See the early days of wilderness riding and cyclocross (before it became highly regulated) to see road, touring and traditional commuter bikes being adapted. 700C, straight bar 'Hybrids' were a road/mtb cross, fulfilling a similar role to gravel bikes. Then people put drops on hybrids. As a teen in the '80s, before MTBs took off, I rode my cheap 10 speed Raleigh 'racer' through terrain like that, 27 x 1.25 steel rims, semi slick tyres, drop bars and sidepull brakes. Or my Raleigh BMX. 😂

Living near the M5, so recognise half of the routes, but curious to know where you're going in the 1st half of the video. Do you publish routes, or accept Strava followers (to the same end)?

I put drop bars on my Surly Pugsley fat bike (also it’s single speed to hit as many niches as possible😂). Liked it so much I put them on my Karate Monkey 29er mountain bike too. GRX shifters work fine with MTB callipers by the way (to get round the non flat mount frames)👍

You put that fallen tree there on purpose.

this is very old concept history of mtb

Do you go through a lot of drivetrain components? I ride in those conditions but just hear my bank account draining with every graunchy, crunchy gear change and turn of the cranks!
