Lovely video; I just love how nothing is explained. It is just done. Am sure people will like and dislike lots of different parts of it, but I could watch that video again and again. The background music on the other hand....
8'14", looks like the flanged connecting bolt being over tighten a bit which could potentially damage the olive. Usually 5-6N.m of force will leave an approx. 1mm gap between the flanged connecting bolt and the thing next to it. Fun to watch!
@@thedropcycling Use an 8mm Crowfoot wrench attached to your torque wrench for the hydraulic hose and a 7mm Crowfoot for the bleed nipple. That way you can torque exactly to spec.
Wonderful video both an artist and a craftsman at work much applause to you sir! I got my S-Works SL7 a month ago and much in all as I'd love a set of Lightweight M's the budget of €13,000 was spent on the bike itself! I went DuraAce Di2 but swapped out BB and obviously went CS OSPW (I take it this build they were coated!) But one day I would love a set of the Lightweight Meilenstein Shwarz edition clincher wheelset can't go back to Tubes as my Campagnolo Bora Ultra Two's broke my heart with punchers! But wow wonderful build!
@@thedropcycling cheers! anytime you are in Ireland we'll take you out the only thing you'll need to do is pretend the weather is like Australia because 99% of the time it's like Melbourne in winter! 😂 Really enjoy the content pure quality!
@@thedropcycling 😂😂😂 try cycling in South West Portugal in August it would melt the rubber on them fancy Meilenstein's! I lived in South Croydon for a few years and traveled inland to Alice but yea Aus is one hot place but great for getting out on the bike! Maybe when all this madness is done I'll head down!
Certainly the most bling build i have ever seen. But does it make sense ? LW Wheels are kind of outdated and not very aero. I ride Enve 5,6 on my Venge, together with Chris King Hubs. A part wheel choice the bike is stunningly beautiful and very well put together. I like the red colour.
Totally agree with you. Rolled my eyes when I saw it. If you already go for an aero bike, use wheels that are aero. If weight is the goal, he should have taken a Tarmac. But at the end of the day we are all amateurs and it matters more if you love your bike 😂
Stunning build and spec but that Q factor seems odd with all those spacers involved. That normal?? Very therapeutic to watch with the gorgeous piano backing music too
Shame as it does look wrong even though I know it’s right. Only negative on that particular build spec (apart from the bottle cages colour chosen by Stevie Wonder!, should’ve been black for definite)
When tightening the stem you need to make sure there is no gap at the bottom so start there. Then move in a criss-cross diagonal pattern tightening each bolt to progressively higher torque until you reach spec. Should also be using a torque wrench for the fluid cover bolt (.6NM), it looked like it only tightened one click and when I tightened mine to spec it went two. Same for the hydraulic hose and bleed nipple, you need Crowfoot wrenches to adapt from your 1/4" drive torque wrench to the 7mm and 8mm nuts so you can torque to Shimano's spec. Also be careful putting the Di2 cable behind the front derailleur. I found on my build that it was preventing me aligning the cage properly with the chainrings. After I ran it over the top the alignment went fine.
I learnt it from the hard way by stripped the thread of top hydro top cover, surely they can use a 2.5mm instead of a 2mm. and the di2 cable behind the FD you are also right about that. anyway great advice mate thanks heaps.

Thank you for posting this. I just purchased a Venge frame and will be building it up with di2. From the video it appeared that you wrapped the internal junction box and pushed it into the seat tube? Is this correct? Does it hold well in that location, or have you found that it slips downward onto the crank spindle? Thanks again for posting. Great video.
Like that very bicycle in East Africa it can reach here like 5 years later but if get Conected to a pro-team who replaces bicycles annually or every after two years we can also have our cyclists here get a chance to have upgrades every one or two years
Something magic watching you work.... Really enjoying it! Keep it up.
Wayyyyyyyy to kind bro😁🙏
No expense spared on the building of this bike (except the chain). Stunning!!! (except the colour of the bottle cages)
👍👍
This is what we all imagine when our bikes go to the workshop...wish you was local to me! Great work
Thanks Greg. 😄👍
That colour is amazing. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you sir 👍

Great work Nick. Amazing relaxing build and beautiful colour. What a bike! One can only dream.
👍👍
Loving the paintwork.

Amazing how perfect bike is and a master assembling it! Congrats,
thank you mate!
My favorite bike build youtuber. Very well done. Keep em coming.
Way too kind. Thank you🙏
Gee I got immersed in that vid. Such an outrageously dreamy build 😍
Haha tell me about it dude
That’s a genius location in the Seatpost for the junction box! Very impressed with that idea from Specialized
yeah I like it a lot, good spot, same as the tarmac sl7
Handlebar end is better unless you're a pro having a team mechanic working on it while you ride.

Thx Jim
Bling bling build if I ever saw one! Great work Nick!👌

That's good

Glad it's helpful

Hi I'm a subscriber from Philippines and i love the way you show us how to assembled a roadbike.
👌👌
Loved the build...so peaceful and gracious.

thanks John, the SRM crank spindle is quite long compares to Venge frame so the spacers are needed.

Yes! Garmin 6 sapphire here too 😁.. Oh yeah, the bike is awesome too.. 👍

Thank you👍
that crank got me going :)
Haha thanks dude
Excellent bike 🚴 brother, how much is the cost of the unit? Many thanks 😊
I believe people would love to listen to the free hub noise , would you spin the wheel in the end next time😍😍
I actually spin a little bit but great idea mate👍👍

You need to wrap that shit starting at the top bro
you missed the point, this bike is expensive, nothing else matters!
👍
The bar tape would be so much better if it was reversed wrapped, starting at the top.
Any riding videos coming soon?
I wish but with current level 4 lockdown, 5km radius from home it's hard
Good job 👏 this is 🎨 art
Too kind thank you😄
Where did you find the background music??(How nice!!)
I like these..
Amazing 👏 my dream bike 😍
Lovely, I prefer my Columbus Max frame set with full Mavic SSC group set from 1988.
I wish you were in Italy to let my bike be assembled by you..
Haha
Amazing piece of art 👌👌
Service for Work....🤗
Que hermosa bicicleta me gusto cuanto cuesta 🇨🇱
When cutting the steerer tube, where do you cut on that line you marked?
Build some custom tarmac sl7 with 6.8kg to 7kg with mount, bottle cages and pedals
by best you mean turbulent air causing discs?
nice build road bike .i wish that i hove that .from Philippines.
My dream bike❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
and my dream come true...
Congrats
good edit mate.
You would think for the price they would ship them with the steerer already cut.
Thanks dude, don't see how that's possible, not everyone is as flexible as you bruh 😅
r u srs bro
