I really feel like this doesnt get mentioned enough but Doddy your presentation skills are phenomenal! You make every single video so engaging and fun to watch, your passion is infectious :)

[geraldgeneroso]

Gmbm tech needs to have a playlist called Doddys Love Letters. The yeti build, the deore, and now this. It tugs the heart a bit.

[Seppster]

I have never seen Doddy so happy and a wide grin on his face. Like a kid in a candy store. Such an uplifting video. Made my day!! Well done Doddy. Have fun. That is what it is all about.

[asifitmatters]

It’s really nice to see someone enjoying themselves in such a genuine way.

"I've had a thing for Mondraker bikes for many years" - Doddy, everyone has, they are absolutely stunning to look at

[MTNMAX]

Doddy is the best tech guy gmbn ever had. Watching him taught me almost everything I know about working on and building my bikes

[jaimevalsantos]

Doddy's philosophy and love for bikes are amazing. It is very inspiring. This makes me love cycling even more.

[darrylvlasak]

Absolutely love this video! GMBN Tech has really stepped up the video editing. This video is absolutely cinematic! Doddy's level of stoke is so infectious. Watching this has to put a big smile on your face.

[Tonyro]

Wow. What a phenomenal video. Doddy, geeking out on his ultimate build. Filmed beautifully and presented as only Doddy can. Engaging and poetic.🔥

[schmidt]

Im kinda shocked by how this tech guy shreds holy... And very inspirational words at end.
Banger video 🤌👌

[GabeC]

It's a beautiful piece of art, Doddy.👍

Another great example of why Doddy continues to be my MTB spiritual Sherpa.

[ruycosio]

Greatest end to a GMBN Tech video.
Cheers Doddy.

[greengonzonz]

Doddy, we were right along beside you during this whole vid. Wearing the same giant grin and feeling the same joy. 💙

[elcovlaminckx]

I just really enjoy how much Doddy loves his tech.

[davyP]

What a video. Doddy the tech guy, Doddy the mtbers, Doddy the presenter and finally Doddy the genuinely good bloke. Hell of a bike dude 🚵 🙏

[KevinT]

The best part is Doddy talking about his love for riding at the end.

[patrickbarrett]

This was a top shelf short film! The passion that came through for the sport and for the Forest time was exactly what I feel like on my Saturday morning rides! Cheers, mate on such a well done video. The bike is absolutely gorgeous!

[stuartdouglass]

Love Doddy! Mondraker are such handsome bikes!

[MrYellopz]

Doddy is so deserving of this, such a great guy

[northernferretsvids...]

To see and hear how genuinely happy Doddy is after this bike build just shows how much he loves his work and his MTB life...Yes, anyone would be happy to be given a chance to build their dream bike but, ultimately, to see someone truly appreciate and understand what they have built and the reason they chose specific components shows that a bike should be built and ridden to truly enjoy....Awesome work Doddy and keep up with the awesome videos, they are all spot on fella!
