    That frame is almost identical to my Claud Butler Olympic Road 1972, wouldn’t be surprised if they came from the same factory

    I love minimalism in bikes, it's like the optimal way to go!
    Actually I'm building someting similar, but the frame has "american bottom bracket", so no good parts to use nowdays. Recently I found an adapter for converting to "english BB", so I hope something nice would come from my old frame as well!

    I've had some square taper Action cranks with 34t and 38t chainrings I've swapped about, they were fitted to my first mtb when my main xc bike went into the shop (expensive + hydraulic so I'm not messing with it) and needed a bike for work, got my first mtb which is a challenge spectre from either argos or toys r us, still fits me but is a touch small (makes it more fun to ride tbh) and I've used it with 1x6 and its now a single speed seeing as the derailleur shit itself and them action cranks and the 38t snail chainring have had to serious abuse and power put through then and they've been perfect so I'd highly recommend for cheap square taper replacement cranks, they also come with the chainring when you order so that's good (the 34t chainring was very good for climbing but I needed more speed so swapped out for the mentioned 38t from same brand)

    Hi, new sub here, ive binged this channel last two days. Love the content. Do you keep all the bikes you build? Or do they go into other new builds? Or sell / donated off??

    What are those brake leavers please, could do with something similar on my fixie. Cheers

    Is 1 spoke enough to make a bike unrideable? In BMX you see people with 4 snapped spokes doing 5-7 stair gaps and going strong but I think the 20 inch and the strong build quality might make a difference. Or is it just a joke and I am overthinking it???

    • @PP-cm4re

      He could have easily just replaced the spoke. But I think he was looking for an excuse to make another build video lol.

      Yeah I hadn’t adjusted it when shooting the finished results, obviously I did for the first ride. It would have annoyed the shit out of me! 😂
