Are you out of the country or something .... why not tonight or right now for a build???

Yip, that's why build is not happening tonight! Will do video similar to this, but to the tune of TO BE DECIDED. (Would love to use a Rival Sons track!)

Fair question! Right now would've been best. That way I could do a night ride tonight! But because of some behind the scenes drama with the kit I haven't been able to book a build day till I was 100% sure I have every last bit in my hands.

time lapse huh, I think I could actually watch the build in real time

The beer is in my hands... My grubby little (big) hands...

Hell he works fast, a whole bike build in just over 4min!

And if all goes well I will have some GoPro footage from the Dirtopia Enduro to edit in at the end.

Make sure to show beer in the time-lapse video, no build should be done without beer.

We're not doing a single speed build so it should be fine!

This may be a stupid question, but why not just build it yourself? And on the subject of "build" - its a bit of a misnomer for a process which is far more like an "assembly", no?

PPfffffttttt ... if he does this and drinks lots of beer the sametime then the results can vary and not be reliable ... might even void his warranty

 

anyway who is going to hold the Go-Pro and badger the wrench about every little detail then!
