Dude the Kona lava dome is sick! My first GF had a lava dome and I myself have a few old classic Kona's! If you look the front wheel has twisted spokes which is really rare to see and is an advanced wheel building technique very cool!
I had an SR500 and I loved it! I despatched on it in the mid 80's. I monoshocked it by using an LC350 swinging arm and used the end of the oil in frame tube for the top shock mount. Had to move the battery cage over a bit but that was it. Looked the dogs bollocks and handled better too. It was fairly unique at the time! Thanks for bringing back the memory! :o)
seeing your first bike makes me happy as i had planned to do that with my first bike but it was stolen last easter i absolutely loved it it was a great hard tail
You've got space for another shelf above the toolbox ;) Put a bunch of hooks and some magnets under it and you can put away a bunch of cassettes and that shock pump.
*Picks up broken helmet* "Don't know why i've kept that really, might as well throw that away".... places it back on the shelf to be picked up a long while later for the same thing to happen! hahah
Cool bromantic vid mate, awesome to be allowed in your man cave, between motos and pushies mine looks similar, thanks for sharing and greetings from Wanaka New Zealand, cheers Andi
Bits, bobs, used scotch tape collection, a few bikes you forgot you had, and a Belgian immigrant family from WWII. Glad there are no videos of my garage :)
Very nice, a lot of cool stuff in a small space, I don't know why but I got a kick out of the Kool-Aid can, I didn't even know it came in cans. A true every-mans bike cave...organized chaos.
Nice! Used to roadrace against track-modified SR500's back in the '80's. I bought a new RD400 as my first street wheels in '78 at 16yrs. It was only $1189 and I got a loan with $300 down pmt. My '85 GPz550 was only $2799 new. Now, that will buy a decent bicycle.
you're my favorite pro-rider Neil. I also love motorcycles I grew up working on those 80s Japanese bikes. I hate anything to do with the transmissions on those... granted I only ever worked on transmissions on dirt bike. still similar where the cases are sealed
Hey 👋 Neil I was nearly in shock that you didn't have the most important things UNTIL ZIP TIES appeared you made my day , now do me a favour and spend next winter cleaning your Cave . Cheers 🍻. YOUIES AUSTRALIA 👀
Felt like Neil had no idea what was in there it was like he was discovering them as we were hahahaha
😂 Probably not too far from the truth!
Killian Barr exactly.. haha..
love that man nice!
instablaster.
One of these videos for each presenter would be pretty cool. Like these types of videos.
I can't see Doddys garage looking like that when he finishes it, bet his eye was twitching just watching this.

Park Tool maintenance area on the GMBN set is 'proper'. Neil's garage: reality.
😂 😂 😂
i can so relate to that shed: organized mess, the only person that can find what he needs is the owner of the shed
I like those personal videos about the presenters
+Loris Foucart thanks Loris
Loris Foucart me to ,do one on blake
Gcn, does a better job. They have a meet the presenter series.
Jw
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 GCN is far different than GMBN. Why would traditional cyclists care about MTB. I mean be honest.
A man of many talents. Awesome garage
Hoarding is a talent now 🤔 😂
A man of many bits and bobs
Could you do a video on all the presenters bike caves?
+Mountain biking for you we'll have to see. We're thinking about it though!
I'd bet doddys is a lot neater than this
Isaac Lowton hes in the middle of building a new one ;)
Isaac Lowton Ya man! Niels looks like a ravaging mess!
Yes, I bet if you opened Doddy's tool drawer, all the spanners would be arranged in size order!
Blake garage tour next?????
bountyhuntergames 123 of course
Neil has always been my favorite presenter and I see no reason to change now good job keep it up.

That little balance bike looks dope, out of all of them there I would want to ride that one
seeing your first bike makes me happy as i had planned to do that with my first bike but it was stolen last easter i absolutely loved it it was a great hard tail
Please show blakes garage
We'll look into it yes :)
honestly he reminds me of captain slow xD
I like this format a lot. I'd like to see some of the other presenters as well! It's a nice personal touch.
Neil seems like a jack of all trades when it comes to sports. There was everything there mx mtb surfing.
“Stickers for bike from 2004... better keep... never know”... that’s just how I feel. Haha
Can we get a "bits and bobs" count?
Liam Sangaku I'm gonna need those tallies separated between bits and bobs as well if you don't mind
i counted eleventeen
It's about 65% bits, 35% bobs!
Global Mountain Bike Network I love you
"Bits and bobs"
bob taco hahah
ya what the hell is a bob?
bits and boobs
Bob and vagenes
Nice old Kona the bottle cage is ringle h2o
One of the best videos I have watched on GMBN. Well done...
1:42 - Ringle! Known to trap bottles on those who set the adjustment too tight.
Haha Wallace and gromit look lol, love the reference
One of the best vids you’ve done! Sweet
Cheers for the feedback Paul!
Can we have doddys and blakes now😁
Wazzie Travel doddy's shed is empty, it's a work in progress
th-cam.com/video/NO0MDs2QBeA/w-d-xo.html
That was rad. I siped some coffee and watched this before i headed back out to my own bike cave. Keep up the awesome work!
The perfect afternoon 😉
this is why im still subbed to gmbn. as a roadie triathlete who has never been on a mtb, i only sub for this type of video
You've got space for another shelf above the toolbox ;) Put a bunch of hooks and some magnets under it and you can put away a bunch of cassettes and that shock pump.
Hey how about Neil organizing his bikecave, making working shelf, bike stand , shoe washer,etc... its lockdown anyway.
Superb garage! Stuffed with loads of bits and bobs. Love it !
Nice one Neil. Love the custom Twisted spoke pattern :-) much respect to the wheelbuilder.
I have the same box that you have underneath that table thingy, it's really nice
Hope to have a bike cave like this someday!
how many times does Neil say "bits and bobs"?
Thanks dude for tour
Grouse garage mate! Nice to see other people enjoy spending time in the shed as much as me!
That was super fun! Thanks Neil!!
Love that old Kona! I had the same one. Perfect pub bike!
i think these things where u get to learn a bit abt the presenters are great . nice work gmbn
I also got a Genius and it’s awesome. But You’ve convinced me to keep my first mtb (2003 Specialized HardRock)for pub runs 😂
*Picks up broken helmet* "Don't know why i've kept that really, might as well throw that away".... places it back on the shelf to be picked up a long while later for the same thing to happen! hahah
This is the circle of life for many things in Neil's Garage!
Doddys garage would be a good one
th-cam.com/video/NO0MDs2QBeA/w-d-xo.html
That's one hell of a dirt shed i love it
Please come over to Australia and ride the trails!
Agree with the comments. We want to see personal vids of presenters as well
We'll look in to doing more of this sort of video then Bald!
Oh man, love the twisted spokes on the old school Kona!
Love the Kona pub bike, a great way to preserve your first ride
That motorbike is freaking awesome! Love ya bike cave man
Very Wallace and Grommet. Now it's time for a cup of tea and some cheese.
Hey Neil :) your my favorite GMBN presenter and i love MTB aswell. I have a TREK 6000 . CHeers from Poland :) my friend
I love your custom sr500😍😍😍
Thats one of the coolest sheds i've ever seen
Its true, you never know when you're going to need those old bike stickers from 2004/5
left to do a tour of the den Blake
Where's the old dh race bikes? In the house on display?
😮 you need a garage extension. . I thought I had to much 3 mountain bikes & 1 motorbike .
Great stuff
Looks like a great working garage! I had one of those motorcycles!
Love the SR500. I have it's littlest brother the SR250 that my dog helped me dismantle while I was away. Now it a project in waiting haha
How 'bout lending me some of those continental tires? Hahaha. Nice to see your garage mate!
Cool bromantic vid mate, awesome to be allowed in your man cave, between motos and pushies mine looks similar, thanks for sharing and greetings from Wanaka New Zealand, cheers Andi
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Neil really excited. 😉
Bet he tidied before the video was shot😂
But keep this sort of video comming please🙏
He did! And there was still that much stuff left that was deemed 'essential' 😂
Try changing the shift dogs! They get some wear and sometimes mess up the shifting
Bits, bobs, used scotch tape collection, a few bikes you forgot you had, and a Belgian immigrant family from WWII. Glad there are no videos of my garage :)
This is a mighty fine collection of chaos
The Wallace and Grommet look... 😂
More!
Can I have some of those extra tires!!!:)
Ahahahah agree
Tyres.
His medal is just hanging along with his tools, showing medals are just material stuffs and all that matters is the enjoyment of every ride😉
Hey that bottle cage on your old Kona was made by ringl, I had a blue one once upon a time
GMBN: Global MotorBike Network?
(Nice Yamaha by the way, smart looking cafe racer!)
“Who dat? Oh, it’s you.” 😂
Alloy Ringlé bottle cage on Kona. Cool!
@2:39 haha I have the same project with this bike but the 125cc version! Nice!
What's your adress? I may have to visit and "borrow" a few things.
14 M...waaaaaiiiitttt a minute!
Great video..I've got a set of Project 2's in my shed doing nothing if you want them to fit on your Lava Dome.
My first mtb is a kona lava dome aswell !! I only got it yesterday, i hope that i get as good as you 👍👍
Great garage tour. Not feeling so bad about my own garage now 😂.
Very cool video and as an idea: How about a video where Neil cleans up parts of his garage?
Some say the bastard quit only 30 secs after the end of this video!!!
Not far off!
There should be a tour of the GMBN HQ.
Would be a short look around the shed! You can see most of it!
This was fun. I liked this. Do more of this. Wish GCN would do some too.
Very nice, a lot of cool stuff in a small space, I don't know why but I got a kick out of the Kool-Aid can, I didn't even know it came in cans. A true every-mans bike cave...organized chaos.
At the end when Neil went to drive away on his motorbike for comedy he should have stalled it 😂
Awesome video like always
I saw you riding around the lanes near Holt, Bath a few weeks ago
Nice! Used to roadrace against track-modified SR500's back in the '80's. I bought a new RD400 as my first street wheels in '78 at 16yrs. It was only $1189 and I got a loan with $300 down pmt. My '85 GPz550 was only $2799 new. Now, that will buy a decent bicycle.
A fun thing to do with garages like that is figure out how many Frankenbikes you could cobble together with all the parts.
Needs some shop lights in there for night work! Cool little shack
Child seat on the pub bike...excellent partnting Niel! :-D
you're my favorite pro-rider Neil.
I also love motorcycles I grew up working on those 80s Japanese bikes.
I hate anything to do with the transmissions on those... granted I only ever worked on transmissions on dirt bike. still similar where the cases are sealed
Neil's bike toolbox looks just like mine, pretty relatable.
Not saying it's the best way of doing things tho
Love how he just has a kashima coated fox dropper at 4:42
We all love @parktool cable cutters
I've never seen Neil so animated, he must really love his Bike Cave!
😂 😂 😂
Hey 👋 Neil I was nearly in shock that you didn't have the most important things UNTIL ZIP TIES appeared you made my day , now do me a favour and spend next winter cleaning your Cave . Cheers 🍻. YOUIES AUSTRALIA 👀
Keepin it real, i love it. Tell the GCN boys to do the same video. I bet Lastys cave is a trainwreck lol.
Lasty's cave is literally just a cave...full of pain.
You guys should do a video of organising Neil’s garage
