nice parts from indonesia, that rusty ritchey stem adds the personality of the bike

Just binged on most of your videos, styles right up my street. Loved the previous bar/fork combo though. Made me want to start my own build. Well done sir!

Used a pit bike handlebar with the bolt on crossbrace removed. Need a shim to go in a retro quill stem 22.2 to 25.4 mm. Rolled the bars back untill just past level and they look n feel good. Bar and shim cost about £25.

Purple!

Might be the nicest bike you’ve built so far. Love the aesthetic

Great looking bike, really like the forks, handlebar and rack. Great quality parts. Especially the rack, piece of art.

Can you share a link to the website you got the forks and bars from please.

Nice build! There would be a few changes if I did this, but not many! love the forks especially, as an older MTBer coming back to the sport after 30-odd years the stuff we did on fully rigid MTBs was wild and we had massive FUN! I took a 1991 MTB (with the classic GS with the 7/8 spd "future-proofed" deore thumbies) on the trails the other day & had a great time, and the bike is working PERFECTLY still, no wheel wobble, and the cantilever brakes stopped me fine

Keep doing what you’re doing mate 🤙🏼.. always enjoy your weekly videos, started building my own bikes when I was 15, just over 20 year ago and I still learn little tricks off your videos now..

I'm still convinced that the problem with the rear wheel is probably not that the wheel is out of dish. when i saw how you and marlon unstuck the seatpost without a rearwheel or hub in the frame it is quite possible that you bend the rear triangle of the frame. i had a frame with a stuck seatpost and used the same method to get it out. althoug i put and old hub in the rear triangle i managed to bend the frame slightly. you realy should check the frame aligment.

Love it Edsen product! ❤

It fits so well, personally love the og look over the modern stems on steel frames at least. Always enjoy the videos keep up the great work big dog

Im with you Craig the bit of rust on the steering stem looks really quite nice

Awesome bike Craig

Just bought a Specialized Rockhopper to commute to work, off the strength of your videos. I love it. But i found out very early, the stem was way too long. I was in pain riding it. Upgraded it, new bars, stem etc. Love it now. But im heading down the slippery sloap of buying parts. 😂

Would love and all black set of stickers for those of us dreading colors in our bikes :)

I like these videos. They're laid back and informational. Fun too.

Stickers please in Apple Green and dark blue ❤

My son reckons Silver would be a good colour

This is a really cool build. Those Edsen parts are awesome.

Such a sick build man. I love it!

Bike looks sweet and i do wish i cud have joined the crusty Cruze, lookes like it was a great day out... Shame im a bit far away lol... Do hope it becomes your yearly thing. 👍

Sweet looking bike my friend. Love the handlebars keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

Beautiful build!

This bike is awesome

I just finished my first retro bike build today 😁😁😁

I just finished building up a Trek 750 that’s all black & white themed and I’m kinda into clear vinyl stickers with white lettering. So maybe a run of clear stickers with white and/or black lettering?

Blue and Purple! I’m sure @Toastyrides would agree

Nice build, and i need those fork

Steel wool and wd40 work great for removing rust and rust spots. The bars on my fixed gear bike are identical to those old mtb ones, after a quick rub with steel wool and wd they look like new.

purple proper crusty sticker please! i got a diamond back ascent ex the sticker would fit perfectly on

Perfect music bed

Certified winner 🏆

Nice build. Do you know if i could use a road cranckset o an 1996 specialized hardrock 26 inch?

Hey mate, great video and build. Love the look of thus bike, very very cool. How about some teal color stickers?

Sweet build, Love it!!! Those forks are AMAZING! Are those Juice Lubes stickers common out there? They don't have that style sticker in the US just the round one. do you have a link maybe?

Cute Chrome hat. That rack tho!

Craig, I think you bent the rear triangle, probably when you was getting the old seatpost out. Just my thoughts.

needs more spacers. I'm 51.

what was duty and vat like on the bits from edsen?

Nice nice proper crusty dude

Hey man I was wondering what that fender in the group ride clip was??

What IS the front rack please?

What tire size you using?

Link to fork and handle bars please.

Chrome spokes please!

Those tyres won't roll so well. but seems like they would be nice offroad and in some mud. but not for road.

Ada indonesia coyyyy

Always makes me cringe when a star nut gets hammered in with a bolt wound into it, sure way of damaging the threads on the star nut. Much better to use a blind tool like the Park one that sits on the main body of the star nut. 👍
