I enjoyed watching this video. I wish I was such an expert at assembling bikes. Do we even need to comment on bike?! It's a machine. A beautiful machine. I don't like carbon bikes anymore

Beautiful bike and great film. The editing is first class! ...the first film of yours where you don't speak a word😂

I love the looks of raw metal bike frames mixed with carbon parts

[jfdomega]

That was great. I like watching people work that really know what they're doing. I can tell you are a pro by the way you handle your tools. Caterpillar was a nice touch! Lol.

Great video! Didn't realise a titanium frame could be so light.
Would be great to hear more about why you think this frame is so great.

[panfilove]

Not a lot of views, but these are great.

Hi reginald do you know of anyone that has the latest gravel litespeed toscano and can give a review on ride feel compare to other ti gravel bikes of the past thanks in advance

[claudionapoli]

so such a nice frame, really nice to see too... see now this is a ti-frame with high numbers mate :) how is going absorbing bumps etc? Is certainly stiffer than normal grade we see everywhere... best regards

[SpaceMonkeySalo]

Pretty much my dream bike, one day....

[MegaXtc]

Of all the bikes you've had what is your favorite one?

[Daniel-yfiy]

Nice build!!!
Where did you get that SRAM Red group set?

[vzuzukin]

What are your thoughts for carbon vs titanium seatpost for a titanium frame bicycle?

[mrichards]

Looks really good but I would feel guilty about not complying with UCI rules during my amateur training rides. I’d be tempted to add some weight blocks to a saddle bag to comply 😂

[juliomorel]

Nice build! What's the max tire width for that frame?

[FaiscaaaH]

Great video mate !!! I have just one question, where did you bought your frame ??

Dear Reginald,

Last Sunday i was riding in a bunch of 20 riders, most of them using disc brakes (of course!😏)
When it started to rain, a very strange effect occurred, which Made me think if this could be a topic for your next video: „Disc braking in the wet“
What happened: Every time we stopped (e.g. at red lights) the Discs of my fellow riders produced an awful, horrendously loud noise! Really disgusting and it was the first time i expierenced that because i am doing most of my training rides solely. My rim brakes on Aluminium remained totally silent.
If the brakes of my car would make such a terrible Sound i‘d immediately rush to a garage to service them! The noise of those brakes was a VERY loud squealing and screaming. Shall this be technical progress? And we were ONLY stopping down on flat roads, descelerating from 35 to 40 km/h. What about breaking in the mountains?

I think this is a topic the bike marketing industry remains silent about.
Disc brakes on Road Bikes? Maybe, but definitely not in wet conditions!
