    love that theres still paint traces from the giant anthem overhaul leftover. the effort and attention you put into you rebuilds is inspiring. in fact, i think you made me want to go for a ride! keep up the good work dude, i can tell you made this kid's whole riding season better.

    Some things are simply “Destiny”. Looks great! That’s increased speed, control & confidence massively just with the paint job alone

    As a lifelong cyclist, I always find love in every bike, as well as making cycling accessible to everyone. This video shows that to what MTB Elitists may think is a bad bike, is actually a completely capable bike to someone else. I bet this bike rides fantastic, and I'm happy that this kid will have a dope new ride.

    That turned out soo good! I love how the color of the bars can be seen in the bright/reflection point of the galaxy paint. That kid had a great choice in Jedi! So glad you included his reaction. Great work!

    Nice! I fixed up my own GT Avalanche with similar upgrades: smart sam tires, the same raidon fork, dropper post, 1x 11 drivetrain (was a 3x9 before), and upgraded brakes. Great build and a good frame to build on...

    Simply incredible build. The time and effort that you put in to this is outstanding and it shows in the finished product!
    I’ve just finished converting a fiat bar hybrid to a drop bar gravel and I didn’t go in to nearly as much detail as you did for this one, so I can appreciate the lengths you went to with this.
