- Hi everyone!
I'm happy to be back with another bike build after a long hiatus. In this video I have a bike by the good folks from Velo Orange and it is their mini velo Neutrino! I've always wanted a bike for running all types of errands since I'm always scrambling around town. This is the perfect bike for it! Enjoy the sounds of bike maintenance!

There is a full blog write up of this build on beaconseattle.com. There, you will find more info on why I went with the parts I went with.

Small wheel bicycles deserve a revival in our urban centres. They are apartment friendly, and alot easier to haul up stairs or around street furniture. They have none of the compromises of folding bikes but all of their nimble steering and shop friendly form factor (most supermarkets and smaller malls here in Australia have no issues with them inside).
all very factual!!
That EF hatch tho
I've owned it for 13 years! All original 😎
Damn, what an awesome build. I imagine these minivelos also bring joy to the fellow bypassers.
Thank you! It definitely brings a smile to everyone I pass by!
I truly want to buy one now, but they are pretty expensive especially with the components that I want to build it with
How could you put the front derailleur on it? I want to get it with my road bike component.
you would need a front derailleur with the right sized clamp
Enjoyed the video, thanks! Where'd you get the grease dispenser?
Thanks! The grease gun is from Park TooL!
Tomi this is my favorite build yet I’ve been super curious about the Mini Velo! Great build 🎉
Thanks Bobby!!!
Hey man, sick build, loved the video! If you don't mind, could I ask you your height and inseam, and how the bike fits you? I'm debating between the small and large Neutrino myself, very on the fence as I feel I'm in between sizes at 5'7"
Sure thing, I’m also 5’7 and inseam I’d say between 30-32”. I was also in this same pickle as you in between bike sizes. It’s a little compact but adding the 90mm stem helped a lot and fits like a glove.
I’ve been riding it everyday for quite sometime now, it has been such a blast and don’t feel any regret getting the small. By any means it is a slow but zippy bike that can accelerate pretty quickly.
i also went for the small because that was the only size they had at the time and it worked out.
hi, I'm a bicycle mechanic I've been watching your video for a while now and it's impressive thank you....:}
Thank you so much!
your are welcome.
Перед сборкой шатунов системы звёзд, посадочные места квадратной каретки неплохо было бы смазать. И педали также.
Great work! Nice looking. 😊
I love vintage parts ❤
Thanks!! this bike was asking for cheap vintage touring parts.
Came out real nice! I have a vision in my head of a crazy minivelo bike but I would need a custom frame :(
Такой обвес на такую раму.. Лол. Она создана для SS, либо планетарки.
Awesome build! What hubs did you end up using? I'm going to lace some BMX rims I have up, but it's hard to find 130mm 6 bolt disc quick release hubs (who would have though lol).
Thank you! Rear hubs are by Velo Orange, it converts to either QR or Thru Axle! They sound nice too!!!
I wish they kept this colour for the 2023 model. Love it.
Great build as always, Tomi! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you!
Super cool build
thank you!
Nice work. Seems like a tall gear range for them seatown hills ha
hell yeah cowboy !
Yee Haw!
Nice build...and that's my old neighborhood! Beacon Hilllllll.
yes!!!! thanks!
Great built! I'm just not a big fan of the Altus-Deraillieur, it doesn't look so good. If staying on the cheaper side I'd recommend the Shimano Claris-RD, which would look IMHO much more classy on this bike.
Thanks! Claris derailleurs are a great alternative! I just loved the big pulley on the altus’
Whats the name of the rear dynamo light unit please?
Cool build! You showed some process which I didn't see on other builds. Subbed!
Thank you!
That was such a great video to watch,I simply loved the Build. Wonderful job on that great looking Bicycle. Enjoy riding your recreation.
Thank you! Cheers
What brand of pipe cutter did you use? And model if possible 🤞🤞
I think it’s a simple Kobalt pipe cutter 👍🏽
TOOOOOOP!
Super nice. Are you still making framebags?
Thanks! I am currently backed up for frame bags so it'll be awhile until I can catch up.
Those VeloOrange 2 bolt bar clamps are horrible. Otherwise, nice build.
Quite, quite lovely old boy, exquisite engineering, positively inspiring. A credit to you.
YEEEEEEEEE HAWWW
Wow so beautiful bike , i like ❤
Thank yoU!
Is this available in Canada?
I'm sure they ship to Canada! Maybe a bike shop in Canada can order one for ya to build up!

What's the rope for?
