You Haven't Seen A Dirt Jump Bike Build Like This Before!

  • I love getting questions in my DMs but sadly I can't answer them all especially if it's questions that keep on being repeated. One of the most frequent is from people who are a little unsure whether they want to splash out on a dedicated trials bike and want to know if a dirt jump bike would work instead.
    So let's find out!
    The Cute Thief collected a host of DJ and street trials parts and a suitable frame. For a change I decided to make it stand out a little more with a home spray job and I'm so pleased with the results!
    I don't yet find out how capable it is for trials but better believe I've got a serious test for it coming up soon!
    What do you think?
    See you next week!

    There’s such a unique charm to all your build videos, and whether or not you go to the effort of making a rigid script they’re always seamless as well. Might be my favorite bike content to watch tbh

    • @Ali_Clarkson
      @Ali_Clarkson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I film with a rough narrative, sometimes I’ll add something if it comes up but when I’m editing is when I come up with the script…I’m glad you like the videos! 🤘🏻

    That's definitely one of the sickest bikes I've ever seen! Love the idea of doing this dirt-trial crossover. If it is controllable, then this would actually be the perfect bike for my style of riding. And I love the colour, it just fits 👍
    In my opinion the best build besides the silver and the red Hex. Hexes. Whatever...

    • @Ali_Clarkson
      @Ali_Clarkson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Ali, this was so inspiring. I had gone done a DJ path 10 years ago, tried to ride it as a street trials bike, but it was such low quality and heavy, I got rid of it. I would like to revisit this myself, but have so much invested into MTB now. Classy paint work!

      @@Ali_Clarkson funny enough 5 yrs or so ago I converted a jump frame to a trials bike. soon found out I'm not very good and slowly covered it back. But if I get the chance I might still try a fewtrials moves. A bit tricky when you a approaching 50 and are built for riding Exmoor. 😄
