The thing about pub bikes is they start off being something almost disposable that you shouldn't bother if they get nicked, then end up being as favoured as your first born. It's a dilemma for sure. 😂
You're exactly right! Putting sweat into something and fixing it increases its value I've got an old trek that I probably put a hundred bucks into I could probably find something better right off the bed on Facebook marketplace. But I love my bike we've been through a lot together!
The original pub bike build video was my first intro to your channel and remains one of my favourite builds. This one is a worthy successor, didn't think I'd like that handlebar/rack combo but it suits the frame so well.
Awesome build! I know a guy with the same brake lever ( 2 by) . To stop a slight endo he sets the rear brake to hit first then adjust the front where it grabs a little later. Enjoy your videos ! 👍🏻
I've been building custom computers for a long time. Even if I get good parts from friends, I trust, but I verify. Nothing wrong with it. Been inspired by your builds, especially the cheap bike buildoffs y'all were doing. I'm currently negotiating with someone to buy a 1993 Raleigh M40 for $30. My goal is to only spend another $120 after that to build it up.
Ive got the man frame version. 1997 Diamondback Wildwood. Ive singled mine but Ive used a coaster brake 26" araya rear wheel for max skids, removed the brake posts and all the cable eyelets too so it looks super clean now. Magic ratio is 44/15 for no tensioner.
I believe step through you're going to become more and more rare as the resto mountain bike thing takes off. Because personally i'll buy one just for parts I don't have the heart to do it to a step over. A big plus is a girl's back will be less likely to be stolen.
Love the bike, genuinely would buy that myself if I could! Hope it goes to a good home! - ill also share this vid around work (cycle courier company) as I reckon there may be some interest (hopefully!) - great work as always mate!
Lol i picked up a 1983 Bridgestone mixte with a rear rack with a pepsi create on back but ive been looking for a mixte frame since i built up two Peugeot mixte for my sister one original the other modern parts and the test ride surprised me on how comfortable the ride is.
Nice build 👍👌😎 but defo not a "throwawayable" bike with those Booze Lights on and the special edition Spoon! Stepthrough...isn't that a girls' bike frame? 🤔
Nah, not how does the brake work, the real question is who buys such a small box of beer. Definitely gonna end up back at the cornershop before closing time for more beers.

I switched from scootering to bmx because of a 100 dollar bike, 1500 dollars and counting and I havent looked back🤣🤣👍

Fantastic bike👍 a plastic beer crate would look good on the rack. Stop giving me ideas 😂 new follower👍👍

❤❤❤ you brother.
I m from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Nice job Craig!
Bike looks mint, love the colour of the tires! I’m so stealing the idea for that 2 in 1 brake lever!
Even my wife agrees those bars are dope.. just ordered a set with her blessing (!)
Now I'm hunting for a step-throu to mod
what's the name of them?
Please the handlebar links
@@TonnahG cordo front chrome carrier
Those handle bars look like part of a shopping cart lol l love it
That bike is absolutely amazing.
Where can I buy the handle bars? 😍
Awesome build. Really like the colour way of that frame. Bar is pretty cool too.

I've been waiting for you to use those damn tires 😂
Got a Norco scene a few weeks ago for cheap on market place, so comfy, like riding a couch.

That turned out super cool!
Looks great
Awesome bike!
Nice work, I like that build... 😎

Those are Shimano T-4000 brakes. And, yes. They're great. I have done 4 or 5 builds with them.
Love this.
Ive been bulding step thrus for the last year, lol, i have 5 going right now.
I actually much prefer the blue chainring :)
I challage your claim for it being the Year of the Step through... my moneys on it being the Year of the Mini-Velo! When are we seeing that build...?!
Are the spacers necessary when you use a threaded fork? Or are they just for looks?
I've got a monstrous Rock Awning gazebo in my lockup that might sort your life out 😂
A lot of new parts for a bike you don't care if it were to be stolen.
Booze tires, perfect for a pub bike.
I love watching your videos. However, is there anyway some of these parts could be linked with at least the companies? That would be great!
where to buy that cool handlebar =D`?
What bars are on your cargo bike? I cannot find them anywhere and love them!
If my pub bike looked like that I would be really upset if it got nicked!
Can you please do cost breakdown on these builds,I really wonder how much approximately you spend on a bike :)
Were did u get the handlebars
be a man and ditch that tensioner too! get a BMX half link chain and you'll have enough room in those dropouts 😉😉
Urban arrow cargo??
You'll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable rigid bike. The fat tyres and the 'sit up' type handlebar geometry will see to that.
Like step thru bikes but i cant find one with a big enough frame size to suit me. 22inch or xtra large.😢
❤❤❤
awesome videos! do you know anyone in the states (pref. New England) that does the disc brake conversions???
That's a great question, for Google 😂
what is that cargo? Can it be placed on mountin bike? 6:03
What are the handlebars?
Nice build 👍👌😎 but defo not a "throwawayable" bike with those Booze Lights on and the special edition Spoon! Stepthrough...isn't that a girls' bike frame? 🤔
Awesome townie build, but I would be pretty upset if that got nicked, so not exactly a pub build :)
I'd be upset if someone stole this bike.
How about getting @SamPilgrim to ride it?
I clamp the frame anytime mine is on the stand. 😬
So what you're saying is... you're copying me and using my parts?! jk lolol
Nah, not how does the brake work, the real question is who buys such a small box of beer. Definitely gonna end up back at the cornershop before closing time for more beers.
What the handlebar name

@@2NDLIFEBIKES thank you
