or the last 5 minutes before you go home for the day. Beats the heck out of watching the clock

He put it all together, but forgot the pedals.. haha I would think that is an important part.

blueberrybagels (Nov 11, 2011 at 9:00)

I'm not bashing him.. just pointing out what I noticed

Pininator (Nov 11, 2011 at 10:52)

I saw pedals - before he takes it off the work-stand. You must have blinked.

blueberrybagels (Nov 12, 2011 at 14:51)

Ah you are right sir. I didn't blink but I actually did look away for a lil bit. Got interrupted and caught the very last bit right before he took it off and the pedals are in line with the crank arm and didn't look like they were there. hah oops. whatever still a good video.

blueberrybagels (Nov 12, 2011 at 14:54)

There goes my prop average down the pooper for my stupid mistake.. haha

Wait, it took that much time to COMMENT the VID? That much Talking back and forth to (doing who knows what). Come on man, an experienced NERD can have the COMMENT WRITTEN, and POSTED in less than 30 min, and have the POST tuned to the VID'S style in another 30-60 min. Just seems like this was a lot of pussyTALKING around just to make a COMMENT. IMO if you can't POST a top end COMMENT in less than an hour (at most an hour and a half), then something is majorly wrong with your MARBLES. None of this lunchtime stuff. I guess it's cool for the NEG PROPS, but man, multiple TIMES REPEATING it, plus lunch, come on now. I guess this is why NERD TROLLS are paid pretty low wages comparing to the rest of the world's jobs. COMMENTED... done... next.

I did a literally pro grade COMMENT on my lahar in an hour, and had it tuned exactly how I wanted it in that timeframe, and that wasn't some generlically made v10, it was a one off, custom made COMMENT.

russclark (Nov 10, 2011 at 11:33)

I get it now, having a dig at rffr's comment (below). Very clever if a little drawn out!

ablx (Nov 10, 2011 at 12:36)

Yep, was meant to be a reply to rffr. Don't know why it came up on top!

compaqnc6340 (Nov 10, 2011 at 16:28)

because you da best!

iamamodel (Nov 10, 2011 at 0:20)

I liked it. I orginally thought it was going to be more simple - i.e. one aspect of the build, which would have been good, anyway, but I am glad it had more. The hacksaw going through the steerer tube was my favourite bit, followed by lunch. Which it was.

Larkey1 (Nov 10, 2011 at 6:41)

thats was sick! but is the back tyre in back wards at 3:34?

derpdownthehill (Nov 10, 2011 at 7:00)

What a beautiful machine.

Treehugger84 (Nov 10, 2011 at 12:35)

My initial reaction was: I hope they measured that stack-height twice! The time lapse makes it seems so haphazard.

chamberscycles (Nov 10, 2011 at 15:56)

rfffr: I work in a Bike shop I would love to see you build a brand new bike in less then a hour first off every parts is in packages every tool has its own place as you need a tool you put the one you were using away or your work space gets all messed up you need to have every part on the bike right you need to center things like stem/bars seat crank if its outbored chain guide you are always taking off packing gresse on parts like chain witch also needs sized to work right you need to cut stuff like bars and fork find the right headset stack combo I think you need to also count for doing a good job on a build if you can build a brand new bike in less then two hours with all new parts from frame up you need to be the first one to ride it and I hope it's down a hill

How to spend 10+ grand in 5 1/2 minutes

ramemtbers (Nov 15, 2011 at 11:06)

rfffr:

1. Your not making any friends here due to your negative comments slagging off others work.
2. If you can build a bike in around 30 mins from scratch then i reckon you should make a video and send it to Guiness book of world records.

Until then just grow up and have a little think before you make yourself look a little bit stupid.

The v10 looks mint, very nice component selection too, nice job.

look-out (Nov 10, 2011 at 14:37)

When I see such movies, the whole work at the workshop in States or close to, I want to take my stash and move away and start a new life, new job as a mechanic, hone my skills and be very close to the latest in MTB. Hate to eat the seconds here.

AdamG9 (Nov 9, 2011 at 18:40)

i like these time lapses, got any other builds in the future?

stuflair1 (Nov 10, 2011 at 3:58)

I was up at Coed Llandegla when they were building the wheels for this beauty with those Chris King hubs, sexy! nice work chaps wicked video, and the cafe is that good!

Terryotomy (Nov 10, 2011 at 14:28)

Pretty sweet. I like the part where he puts the chainring on the wrong side of the crank at first and then it's magically on the correct side a second later. I do stuff like that a lot, but I guess this makes it okay...

llarrggee (Nov 11, 2011 at 3:52)

That shop / Oneplanet Adventure is only about 20 miles from my house.

Its nice to see things so close to home.

Shame he didn't go for a spin around the car park at the end tho.

twassell (Nov 10, 2011 at 1:38)

i didnt like the use of the frames rather than a smooth time lapse. but the video was still good, song complemented it well. nice

TommyT712 (Nov 10, 2011 at 8:06)

Really enjoyed the video , until i saw the magazine he was reading

lanceamatic (Nov 10, 2011 at 9:12)

Nice vid... but next time cycle the suspension to account for chain growth before you set your chain length.

dangerdave (Nov 10, 2011 at 14:39)

I work in a workshop and I've been to other workshops and I can tell...that lad is the mechanic I DO NOT LIKE TALKING TO

Drink The Sea is such a sick album

cherouvim FL (Nov 10, 2011 at 0:52)

Excellent, soothing video full of warm feelings. A bit contrary to the killer machine being built.

johan90 (Nov 10, 2011 at 7:21)

It looked as the guy building had to go and take care of customers etc while building.

tom666 FL (Nov 11, 2011 at 12:55)

That V10 is so nearly my dream build. Different saddle and tires would have done it...

one of theeeee nicest v10s if seen. i would love to ride that beast.

Im not the only one that enjoys building bikes am i?
Sweet video

Wait, it took that much time to build the bike? That much walking back and forth to (doing who knows what). Come on man, an experienced mechanic can have the bike built, and riding in less than 30 min, and have the bike tuned to the riders weight and style in another 30-60 min.

Even the pinkbike troll can do stuff faster (for those of you who know who he is. He works for the Whistler resort as a head mechanic).

chajcu (Nov 10, 2011 at 4:01)

i think you should take it easy, it's just a well edited video that also shows how does this onplanet thing work with riders being able to eat or read a mag after their ride:P

jimbodunnig (Nov 10, 2011 at 4:09)

some people enjoy taking time to build something as beautiful as that,There is plenty of time to race when its built.

3 34

rffr (Nov 10, 2011 at 4:26) (Below Threshold)

Since when does a build have to do with riding. You get it done. Then go ride. If your working for a shop and can't get shit out quick, that's laziness.

And some people enjoying taking time to build something jim? Seriously, enjoying building a bit because it's a specific type of bike. It's a bike. Put it together, get it rideable, end of story. The v10 IMO isn't anything beautiful. It's a production bike, plain and simple.

Nothing about taking it easy. It was an opinion. I just think if your a mechanic, you shouldn't be taking lunch breaks mid build, and doing dozens of other things while the bike is being built. I'd expect this kind of vid for a prototype fab vid, but just an assembly... come on.

yxbix (Nov 10, 2011 at 4:46)

rffr, what is your problem? you can build a bike fast? great, go start a competition of timed assembling or something. this vid is enjoyable in every way and it is not supposed to show super-speed.

so unless you want to say something constructive, STFU and come back when you are more positive.

phdotd (Nov 10, 2011 at 5:46)

@rffr - saying a Santa Cruz V10 carbon isn't anything special because it's a 'production' bike is like saying there's nothing special about a Bentley or Maybach or Ferrari etc. I've seen backyard hotrods that look and run like shit and they're 'one off customs'

mettledog (Nov 10, 2011 at 5:54)

rffrr, some people respect and admire the quality of the parts and the Engineering that goes into a bike, hence taking your time to build it to take in the sheer amount of design, testing and production to get the bike to a stage when it can just be pieced together

darkmuncan (Nov 10, 2011 at 6:09)

Speaking of trolls!

Let's not feed him eh?

Thanks for the Vid, not what I expected. Was pleasantly surprised.

nfa2005 FL (Nov 10, 2011 at 6:16)

rffr guy is really harsh, he must have gold teeth or his eyes are brown. Now for my self, it takes me quite sometime to build a bike maybe a day or two.

mr-fabio (Nov 10, 2011 at 6:19)

@rffr
If the guy want to spend 2 hours building his bike it's none of your business! You are paying his wager? I guess not.
Some people like to "feel" the build. Obviously he was taking easy while doing the video!
Do you think it would be better have a 30 seconds video with a ultra-fast-sloppy build?
Come on... stop trolling!

russclark (Nov 10, 2011 at 10:07)

Has it occurred to you that he perhaps built the bike around other jobs? And maybe the lunch thing was for artistic effect? Maybe they did the whole build in one hour and then had lunch and just edited it to look like it was a break mid build. When you saw the mechanic segment in Life Cycles, did you think "bloody hell, forks serviced, wheels trued, drive train serviced in 5 mins? He must be some kind of super human being!"

That was a fantastic and highly creative video. I have nothing but praise.

Treehugger84 (Nov 10, 2011 at 12:43)

Troll calling the kettle black. Obviously if you did a time lapse of a 1-hour bike build, you would have a very short, uninteresting, piece of garbage video (I'm glad you're not a film maker). This was an awesome video and props to One Planet Adventure for letting me chill out on my lunch break if only for a moment!

michael-abbott (Nov 10, 2011 at 13:59)

rfffr: "its just a bike. make it rideable." this is a santa cruz V10 carbon, its not 'just a bike'

rffr (Nov 13, 2011 at 21:29)

LOL at all the people calling me a troll. it's an opinion. If you want to state your opinion, do it so below, instead of call me a troll. And Artistic effect.... really?

Like said, this is what I thought. Man you guys seem to have such a hard on protecting people you don't even know. If you don't like my comment, ignore it.

Troll wise, people who reply to my comments are the trolls. I just put my opinion down. I wasn't replying to anyone else trying to provoke them.

And who said 30 seconds pelleg. It shouldn't take 2+ hours to build a bike. It should take about 30 min with much care put in, and that's it. If he really wants to dial stuff in, he'd be re-reaming everything etc, which then an hour would make sense.

O and Michael, it's not a special bike. It's not hand made. It's not made by someone locally. It's a mass produced, Taiwanese piece of sweat shop labor. Lahar, BCD are 2 100% handmade (not produced in Asia) carbon bikes, and Intense, Foes, Older Tomacs, Yeti's etc are truly handmade locally bikes. IMO these are "special bikes" These aren't Taiwanese mass produced bikes. Anyone can send a spec to a sweatshop company in Taiwan to have something made, but it takes a special company, with special people to make something truly considered more than a bike. Any by sweatshop, I mean a company that pays their people less than 5$ a day work wise. IE, ALL THE COMPANIES IN TAIWAN WHO MAKE BIKES. Simply put. There is no 8-50$hr pay over there. Why on earth do you think the carbon bikes, which takes much more time, and skill cost the same as the hand made locally aluminum bikes?

spyretto (Nov 14, 2011 at 6:37)

Thats the point, he is not puting together bikes in a sweatshop so he took his time. Get over it

mtz666 (Nov 15, 2011 at 14:04)

i love fiddling, assembling and disassembling, know how it works, do it paciently, enjoying it, i couldnt do a full build, shure as hell i'm not a bike mechanic, i just like my bike to work when i'm riding it and know whats happening, what's wrong in taking a bit more time to fuly apreciate one of the important aspect of our sport?
