Nice tribute to honor your grandfather. My youngest daughter got herself a tattoo of a Cardinal to remember my Mom because it was my Mother's favorite bird. The Bike looks awesome done up in that color.
I love the sst, what a bike. The stack was a bit lower than my preference, but I'm betting a 150mm fork would bring that stack up nicely. Also, nice work hitting that drop on Ahab, that's no joke.
I also had a grandfather that made a huge difference in my life. It is very refreshing to hear your story. Love the bike, Be safe and keep riding. And, thank you for the inspiration.
Cool background story! The SST got my attention since it's release. I too love hardtails but on the longer days out or in low traction conditions they can be demanding. A short travel fs with good geo sounds like a good middle ground between ht and full enduro bike and would shine in most trails. It would also be a great partner for all day epics.
Really like that bike. It might replace my Process 111 next year. I've never had more than 120 mm travel on a FS, I just compensate with more psi and spacers.
Was that Ahab you were riding right after talking about the components? I'm a friend of Robbie who works at Reeb. Come visit Fort Collins next time you're out this way. We have a small bike park out back that you'd probably enjoy 🤗
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss Thought I responded with a link to MTB Project but now I've realized that YT took it down. Ha! Look up Ginny Trail on the project. It's a wicked fun techy climb, has some skinnies you can ride up and down, then there's On the Rocks near the top of Ginny with even more tech. Plenty of urban spots to mess around on too! Enjoy your Christmas whatever you get up to! 🍻🥳
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss geometry concessions? Who came up with the seatstays idea/layout? I'm a fan of any bike with the solid chainstays too. I'm still riding one to this day!
@@janeblogs324 I would have preferred the headtube to have been steeper but they wanted it slacker for "freeriding'? overall it was a great bike. The rear end was my idea because we worked on that at Schwinn.
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss with everyone using 80-140mm forks to get their desired headtube angle they could've gone steeper I think. The bloody headtube lower weld though, the hydro forming made that lower part of the downtube so thin (where it should've been thicker) They also made that weld concave, the only concave weld on the entire bike. No weld bead should be concave ever and especially not that location. They all broke at the weld root, not the haz line so I don't think they were random heat treatment failures.
Hello there! What does the word "progressive" means? I'm lost on those parts. Thanks in advance! Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
I dunno man....I have ridden lots of bike, I mean LOTS of bikes. I have ridden "fake" bike (re-branded bikes, under the same guise as Lance riding a Litespeed Blade with a Trek paint job)...While I can tell one material from another (carbon, steel, Ti, Alu, M2) on the road...I can not say that on the MTN with dual suspension I can tell. I know I can not tell an AL (Spec) from Carbon (Spec) unless I am looking down. Subtle is the least of the terms one could use as an observation in the differences between the two (with a zillion caveats). While I am with backing your sponsors 1000% and then some - you can make most materials behave in any way as any other material...what comes to issue is what is the frame going to weigh...(and, at speed on XC for instance it is a hard comparison to make). Figure, if you were on a regular ol' XC trail and blind folded...could you "feel" your steel bike as opposed an Alu bike with the same geometry?
I definitely think so, carbon is super stiff and the steel frame just has a different ride quality, it's defintiely a unique feel. A lot of it has to do with the tube shapes and diameters as opposed to purely the material as well.
Dude, that bike breaks the mold. Big manufacturers say you can't make steel full suspension. You just need an artist's touch! I was breaking a carbon frame every 2 years. Went full steel hardtail. I'm probably going to buy the SST frame. The price looks reasonable for a domestically produced bike!
Hey that's the trails in Vian Oklahoma, was there like a week ago :D
Great episode. I just got my SST frame - gorgeous craftsmanship
What a gorgeous bike. Love the story behind the color and the 3D printing bits.
Nice tribute to honor your grandfather. My youngest daughter got herself a tattoo of a Cardinal to remember my Mom because it was my Mother's favorite bird.
The Bike looks awesome done up in that color.
I've always wanted to give Reeb a ride. They look like they check off a lot of the boxes in looking for. And that color is SO rad 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the video. Seeing this gave me the idea to increase my fork travel to 150mm on my Ripley AF and love it! Thanks Jeff!

That 3D printing aspect was fascinating. Excellent share.

Full suspension steel! I like that!
Awesome Vid! Cool tribute to your Grandpa
Awesome bike!
Love the story behind it. Keep up the good work!
I really love the idea of honoring a family member with your bike
thank you
Beautiful looking bike! The i9 wheels are also a great match! You got me wondering the ride feel of a steel fullsusser...
Fantastic video. I’m practically sold. (But I suggest turning down music volume in future videos when talking at least - it was too distracting).
Awesome bike, thanks for sharing your story behind it.
What's the frame weight?
Man, what a sick bike!
sweet, boutique bike and cool story behind it! Your seatpost height isn't quite high enough though, lol!
🤦🏼♀️
That frame would looked good polished and clear coated.
Best bike I've ever owned.
I might have to try that Vittoria Kool-Aid.
Killer ride as usual... thanks for sharing the tat story.
Lenosky20 for 20 percent off! Thanks!
Thanks again!
Dang I want one. Coincidentally I rode my steel hardtail today-Karate Monkey!
weight?
That's one nice looking bike

Do it! You won’t regret it!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss Do you know when Reeb will have the Sqweeb back in stock?
Holy Cow that things is dead silent!🤯
Interesting concept
Vittoria tires are top notch...Maxxis guys keep riding your wobbly sidewalls and leave the vittorias for me. This is your best looking bike imo JL...
Beautiful!
Curious, how much does it weigh kitted out?
Mine is 34. The large bike pinkbike tested was 31.5 so depends on build.
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss awesome thanks!
Saw them at Outerbike Moab. It looks good on the internet, but it looks even better in person.
What is the steel exactly? 4130 chromoly?
Yes

Where can I get them? & How much?
Www.Reeb cycles.com
Cool bike!
awesome bike!
I gotta hit one of Jeffs clinics!👍
Jeff, what size SST frame and how tall are you?
It is an XL and I’m 6’4”
Did you really help design the STP or just sponsored and given colour schemes?
I did! I made a couple concessions but for the most part it came out how I wanted it.

Great video…..cool bike
That's sweet.
Do the folks at reeb enjoy beer???
😱thats a long dropper🤔
Is it the bike that costs 10k?
It’s probably close to that. We have less expensive versions for sale too.
Subscribed....👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Dooooooooooope 🤘🏻🚵🇺🇸
It's really hard to comprehend how this good bike feels, until you throw a leg over it and go bombing down the mountain! I love mine.
I absolutely love my Cotic FlareMax so I can imagine it feels very similar!

Do it! Read the reviews. You won’t regret it.
