Started watching during covid & have seen every episode. I think these types of channels are super important for the future of craftsman, fabricators, creators etc. Hopefully you guys can keep going & keep teaching us all.

Paul Thank You so much you've been my light and my inspiration. I have had a tough time with bikes. And always say I am an enigma and am misunderstood like a bike. I am writing a short bike history for a promo and I am mentioning you. I hold no credentials in the discipline, but the mastery you propagate is glorious. The levity and acuity of your channel, is a bonus.

I made a small fortune trap shooting. I started with a large fortune and by the time I was done, it was a small fortune. True story.

[LightBranches]

Folks, get out there and buy Paul’s book...it’s packed with great stories.

[MinimalistGuy]

Enjoy my coffee, because I can identify with you. Your enterprising spirit is motivating.

I’d like to thank Cove and David for being shit-talkers, because now we have Paul and Mitch here on YouTube. 😄

[MrJasonodonnell]

What I like is this feels genuine and has the real ethos of MTB in it, At the other end we have cultures built around brands like Specialized and Santa Cruz...same coin but one side is tarnished.

As ever, a very interesting video . And not only because we actually get to see Mighty Mitch.

I can already sense the patented paul brodie sarcasm in the title before the video starts.. 😉👍👏

It's wonderful to witness honesty in relation to daily life.
Congratulations on your you tube success. Really enjoy your videos.

I also started watching during covid and have mentioned in the past I worked in a shop for 8 years and that by first real bike was a Brodie ( the non Paul Brody made Brody ).

I remember seeing the frame building class and would have loved the opportunity.

Thank's for keeping with it, and getting me through that rough patch.

I really appreciate it!

Hey Paul and Mitch, this channel is a real blessing and thank you two for putting in all the work. It's a bummer what the UFV did to kibosh your classic course, but ebike frame building 101 hosted at Grin during the winter low season is more than just a possibility ;-) We got all the metal shop tools and the real estate, just need a few brazing torches!
Anyways we'll look forwards to seeing you and your bikes on the 16th and can chat then.

[chrisgenovese]

i love the channel. seeing that brief flash of the first episode shows how far the filming and editing quality has come. it looks really professional.

I just heard about the Frame Building course from an interview clip at Sea Otter. I'm just on the Island, so would absolutely be interested if you ever thought about getting that going again.

Love your videos, and not just because I actually have a Brodie. I live down the Valley from you guys. Just retired my old Brodie Bandit frame that I had converted to a mid-drive eBike about 3 years ago to great success. However, given its age, I couldn't adapt a tapered boost fork to it. My goal, after exploding my Shimano dual piston hydraulic brakes on my front wheel twice avoiding drivers that could have put me in hospital again, was to upgrade my brakes to quad pistons and a 220mm front/180mm rear brake rotor setup. Sadly I could not do that on the Brodie so I set out to find the perfect frame for my build and settled on a steel Soma Riff. Added a DT Swiss hand-built wheel set, Schwalbe moped rated tires, Shimano Linkglide 1x11 drive-train, and moved the rest of the parts over from my Brodie. Finished it this past Monday and did a 70km ride up Slesse mountain forestry roads. At 67 years of age I still love those steep climbs and descents, especially now with a little help from my X1 Stealth Gen 3 motor and those SRAM Code RSC brakes. If I'm going to end up in the hospital I want it to be my responsibility...not bad drivers. I've DIY'd several different types of eBikes for friends since I built my first. It is a lot of fun. Just wish a company would design production eBike frames for DIY'ers. I think we need stronger rear triangles due to the torque. My next build, hopefully, will be with a Gates belt drive and Rolhoff hub...as soon as my budget will allow. Keep the great videos coming.

Back in the early 1980s I had a couple roommates who were pretty serious about road bikes. One of them took a bicycle frame building course that was offered at the time through the local technical college and built his own frame, the other found a custom Eisentraut frame in the local classified ads. For about a year there were all kinds of parts from Campagnolo, Shimano, etc. scattered all around the house, until they finally got their bikes put together. It was an interesting time. 🙂

Im sure people would patreon to listen to your words of wisdom. I appreciate the free content just to see to your thought process. You are a "nice bloke" with a will to share. Thank you, also from the people in the future who dont know you yet. We watch to hope to have some of your skill

[jpmorgen]

Life stories are always interesting, especially when the life is real, interesting, and creative, thanks.
