One of thee best bike build videos I’ve seen, and what a workshop/service course!

[enriquepaulo]

That was total ASMR for bike nerds. Mechanics are amazing.

[arielleon]

This is the most relaxing video I’ve seen in a while, definitely using it for when I have trouble falling asleep. Love the music in the background and it kind of makes you dream of owning that masterpiece one day.

It is a wonderful video that is very polite and feels the craftsmanship.
First, he doesn't have a ring on his hand. I feel the greatest consideration for the bicycle.
Second, he cares about the rims when he mounts the tires.
Most people put it straight on the floor, but he puts it on top of his shoe and puts the tire on.
The third point is that the manner in which he does each work conveys a great degree of politeness. I want you to see his hands His nails are neatly cut and his hands clean and manicured.
Most of the Dream Build videos on youtube just show how cool they are, but this one is the best I've ever seen and really shows the spirit of craftsmanship.

The gizmo at 18:02 to bed in the rotors/pads is mind blowing.

Is there anything more therapeutic than watching a pro bike mech doing his thing

[AG_]

As a mechanic I love videos like this and laugh at people questionning anything he is doing as he is clearly very experienced.
- Bearing is clearly the right way up at 2:29
- Saddle choise - some pro riders change them very often, especially if injured or suffering with saddle sorrs.
- Using a screwdriver to seat the cable grommets, he didn't scratch the frame and these can be super tight to fit on some frames.

[Shabec]

My favorite part, using the magnet to fish the cable 🖤👌🏾

[Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

This is so relaxing. You see him perfectly install and tune the bike step by step without any failure. So relaxing.
Having build a few bikes... and being just ok at it in everything he does I see the level of expertise he has. If this is not perfection it's close to it. Very humbling!

[wildhogget]

Thats not craftsmanship, that's bloody ART!!!!

[johtor]

Thanks for showing us this video. Totally different than my Colnago/Campagnolo bike from over 45 years ago.

[johnsshed]

The look of joy and pride on this young mans face makes me quite envious that this is what he do's for a liveing .

[tvlussoart]

Yes, thank you very much, I will connect with you and support your various videos beautifully and highly.

[edwinarceo]

i dont know why this so enthralling. great editing and camera work.

[boards.sailfish]

This has put me in my place, I thought I was good working on my 70 Peugeot steel carbolite

[zulkifliahmad]

One of the the very rare vid I watched that I did not skip forward. Captivating.

[JavierGonzalez-lpke]

EASILY one of the most intriguing, captivating, relaxing, things I've ever seen in the world of professional cycling

[jeffkennedy]

Outstanding video. I really like his looping the handlebar tape around the lever body technique. Been building bikes for many years, but never tried that approach. A good video for pro riders to watch that drop & toss their bikes on the pavement, many times on the derailleur side (to which they should probably receive a little whack upside their head).

[Nksmusings]

Thanks for the 18 minutes of visual meditation.😮🎉❤

[sharankumar]

Wow, was really melted by making the bike so carefully and satisfyingly ❤
