I love the components you guys have chosen because you inspire and tell people that the biggest and best brands don't necessarily have the greatest components. And I love that all black with red accents.
You have to leave a like just for the fact that they didn't prop this beauty up with a stick but actually brought a stand for the photo session. 💯 committment. Thanks for the series!
Thank you Parranz! We're glad you like it. That is exactly what we wanted to do with this Underdog build - show of some of the awesome brands out there that maybe aren't so well know!
lovin' that y'all went outside the box with the BOX Two Prime9 drivetrain!!!! I've been running them for a couple years on my fattie and absolutely love it
I've built an NS bikes with almost the same setup as in the video...all bought from CRC. But unfortunately, I have to sell it because we moved to another country. This video made me miss my bike
Looks like a stealth weapon! Loving the Box Two gearing and the Manitou fork choice! Bike looks insane, just goes to show what you can build when you look away from the common names! Got everything crossed to win! Nice build CRC!! 👏👌
I like all the sounds of putting a bike together . I always get on TH-cam for 8 hours of rain while I sleep... maybe I'll just turn this video on next time...
@@chainreactioncycles I know, I know you love it and all... But now demount it, pack it up nicely, and ship it to my address ... not happening ? S#%&t, worth to try 🙂🙂😎
Talk about anticipation on this bike! Been a journey to watch it being created. It looks amazing and will ride beautifully. Simple, fun, aggressive hardtail! Can’t wait to through a leg over it if I’m lucky enough!
what a beauty, simplicity and capability of box, the manitou looks amazing, and that geo my gosh the winner will top their happiness meter, ride this for years and pick up on a life long sport, thanks CRC, state of art career in a phenomenal worldwide sport!
Really awesome build. Outside the norm. I have my fingers crossed hoping to win. It's been cool watching the build and all the hype. Hardtails rule. Lol
I must say I am most impressed that I saw a bike build with box components, and I wish bike manufacturers give you an option to have customers to choose any drivetrain of their choosing. Is the hayes is dot fluid the brakes remind me of Sram, and personally for me I prefer mineral oil. Sometimes I wish I can build my own bike, but with box three prime 9 x-wide group set with Trp brakes.
Wow, unreal. This is an awesome build. And it even has a Manitou fork, which I had on my first bike I rode and that one lasted 21 years with only 40mm of travel. Woild love to see how long I could aahred this bike as a spiritual success to the bike ingave away.
Nice build!! thats an awesome stem and bar combo. Thats what I put on my girls rig. Lesser known? Spank? Manitou? Dmr? Ns? chromag(for life)! Nukeproof? Wtb? I figured box for some reason. I get that. Hubs sound good. Are Those Paul brakes? Looks super nice!!! 👌
This beauty looks like a super-update to my mint 2008 Gary Fisher Tassajara with a sweeter ride than the 26ers. I’ll take it and give it just as good a care if I’m the lucky pick.
I wish I had components like that in my bike, my bike looks so old because of the discoloration and still has the stock parts which are damaged already tho great build, and a good job.
I think this needs to be retitled to "bike build ASMR" lol ooooo cable ties.. lol . Seriously I'm totally into NS bikes hopefully I can get myself a new one one day . Great series guys and this custom build is something els great job

I think it’s better as an underdog than it would be if you have fitted the most common parts!
I love the components you guys have chosen because you inspire and tell people that the biggest and best brands don't necessarily have the greatest components. And I love that all black with red accents.
I have to say the bike looks very good
It is very nice bike love to win it
😍😍10/10 build guys from a underdog to a BULLDOG !! who wins this one will have a killer bike ! HAPPY DAYS🤙

*wipes happy tears away from eyes* Glad you enjoyed it ml_AT!
Just a perfect build
- looks sick
- certanly feels sick
- and isnt extremely expensive it clearly shows the potencial of not so known brands

@@chainreactioncycles : )
@Az Lean true my bike costs less than the pedals but if we are talking about good mountain bikes
This one isnt to expensive
LMAO! This build is at least 3 Grand.

I'm satisfied with how you aligned the tyre logo with the rim logo
Notice that too :)
This would be the best birthday present ever😎😎😎😎
don't know about the rest but, watching this built is very relaxing LOL
It looks so freaking nice, a dream build in my eyes
We're glad you like it Samuel!
Best hardtail build bike ive seen... The parts have so much quality yet the brands are not common here in philippines...❤️❤️❤️❤️
lovin' that y'all went outside the box with the BOX Two Prime9 drivetrain!!!! I've been running them for a couple years on my fattie and absolutely love it
Been riding my NS Surge since 2008! Awesome bikes
If the underdog rides as good as it looks the winner is in for a real treat! Wonderfull bike!!
Glad you like the build Benji :)
So soothing to watch this bike come together!
Something very therapeutic about it Simon!
That right there is some assembly pron!
There is something therapeutic about watching a bike come together.
Oh, man. The stealth look is absolutely my jam. To whomever wins this, congratulations!
Not an underdog build but a dream built!
Im so curious with the cockpit, so i always waiting for this video.
Nicely done CRC, not only with the use of lesser known components but showing some love for the humble, yet epic, hardtail 🤟 10/10 🤟
Thank you Ed!! ❤️
Stealth weapon! Thanks CRC have enjoyed watching this take shape, you have built a great looking bike that is within a normal person's budget!
Yes BigLiam! Glad you enjoyed the series - we had so much fun putting it together and sharing it with you all

Gutted you had to sell your bike :-( Thanks for sharing.
Loving that stealth look, great choices! Stealth brands in stealth colours (plus a little red). Very sweet indeed.
Yes Phill - we love that little hint of red! Glad you like the build :)
Nice touch with the Cromag Stem and Box Nine groupset. It looks lite, fast and aggressive. Nice Job!
Thanks Will! Glad you like our choices, we think it's one awesome build! ❤️
That is a beautiful frame. And from the welds I could see it really looks like the frame builder knew what they were doing.

Definately would be a great first hardtail for me, all I have now is a road bike, definately need something for off road soon, beautiful build.
Nice build
I love hardtails, so this is a no brainer for me. 🤙🏼
Polish brands are getting more and more popular.
I love my Dartmoor Primal 🖤💚
Lovely looking ride! Who doesn't love an underdog!?
So sick, clean cut, cool hardtail and it will be nice for me to ride it in trails in my hometown! I just love it!!!

If u keep the forks horizontal when u change the travel the oil doesn't run out
