How to Build (and Ride) a Road Bike
Calling all NYC traffic riders! I am looking for someone to help me make another YouTube video of biking in NYC. If you can ride like I ride in this video, then shoot me a YouTube email with your contact info, and we'll take turns filming each other as we ride. Time lapse restoration and upgrade of an early 90's Cannondale 3.0 Criterium road bike. Then a fast-paced ride through the streets of Queens and New York. Music is "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Sorry about the super-pixellated ride scene. Look for more rides posted in the near future!

How much do you save if you build your own bike?
can anyone tell me why i’m having bottom bracket issues? i purchased a roadbike frame from ebay. this frame says it accepts a 68mm english thread bb. I have tried to install but it seems to be a size to small (bb). Grease isn’t the issue. It just feels too small. I will strip the bb if i continue. just getting the run around from the seller. what can the problem be?
Nice music+nice bike= great video.
Hey dude, you made a cool shooting.
omg , that is a fast bike
a very cool vid
i just built one with my grandad
youll probably ride during peak hour on a main road get hit by a car and blame the driver. GET OFF THE ROAD!!!
cool fucking bike dude.
i just got into road riding and am lucky enough to have found a near mint blue 3.0 with ultegra and 105 components. riding on tubulars and mavic rims, wheelset is super light. keep it real.
how much were the shifters?

my bike’s coming. sorry LBS. 15 years since I had a good bike. What’s indexing right? (First bike shocked that it didn’t click gear-to-gear. now shocked it does.)
looked into bike assembly, and found this. The assembly -ok I almost follow. But the ride! Great Scott! or something. Whatever urban exploits I’ve performed-canceled out. This guy-is he still alive?- shows what can be. my hero, etc.Thanks! I’m stoked! danielreilly
@ronzilla3000 Last time I did I drank a six pack of Baccardi Raz and fell over sideways into a patch of grass at a stop sign cause I couldn’t get my foot out of the cage ( yeah I am old school ) . I didn’t get up so fast cause I was laughing too hard. LOL
now i wanna drink and ride!!!
from one bike builder and rider to another AWESOME VIDEO! well done sir
that was too fast . i could hardly see it

”CERVELO TOMAHAWK SPRINT TEST”
I’ve just took a 3.0 out of storage to get fixed up. It has all SunTour drive train (minus a shamano crank). There is another Specialized from around the same year in storage that has a complete 105 drive train on it. I want to swap the drivetrains out.. did you have any problems getting more modern wheels to fit? I understand the dropouts might be a tad smaller. I am thinking Mavic Aksiums. Thanks and great vid!
@o0adam0o The spacing for everything after 7spd is 130mm, and since your frame is aluminum you really shouldn’t spread the dropouts to accept a wider hub.
Great video brohammed. Even better song.
@renatocosta81 Can be very cheap or very expensive. ALL the parts you see on this bike are used, either from my parts bin or things I found used on eBay/Craigslist. Great deals are found everywhere. Just keep in mind that going the used route is sometimes time-consuming.
I am curious about the costs… how much is it cheapest? I mean.. buy all those components and build it myself…
I would advise a very short first run, then a stop to check everything is still as tight as it should be, especially crank arm bolts.
nice bike
MASSIVELY OVER SIZED LIKE THE SIZE OF MY Dads truck.
@slalomnorth is 1:49
holy shit i thought that guy went super sayen
i was stuck between this bike or the fuji sst and i chose the fuji simply cause of the internal cable routing , i just think both bikes are over 7 grand they should have internal routing , seems like they spent more time on the fuji
@GQvis learn to fuck off.
@quarvis learn to read.
for an 8000$ bike they should have at least used internal cable routing.
SALMA YAQOOB IS THE BIG NOSED TERRORIST. SHE MAKES MY COCK STIFF. MMMM SEXY.
This whole video is a “that’s what she said”
and it’s a video from Giant. lol
i’ve ridden TCR’s since 2000, always have been a great fitting, and stiff bike. I climb better on mine than my Moser. Own my original 2000 TCR, though pretty beaten up now, but still a great bike, and own a TCR 0, which is even nicer. Recommend them to anyone
basically, its stiff, oversized and massive. nice (:
so massive so stiff so oversized… lol…
i have a giant bike but this one is nice
@lmjames33 Ive teste Giant now, your are totally right! But i like BMC more
Sorry it was just the oppinion of a noob!
You’re right. They are great bikes! If they sucked then why did mine get stolen here at college? why didn’t they steal the mongoose or other crappy brand? lol
yea thats what she said
funny how he is the communications manager.. yet he can’t seem to find another word than ‘massive’
MASSIVE! This bike is MASSIVE!
Why does ginat suck? That sounds like a matter of opinion to me. I have a giant cypress and it rides great! Never had a problem. I am 6 ft 9 about 265 so I had to get a 23 inch bike to fit my size.
there are so many most cheap bike you can buy and belive me, there is no difference. i have a cr1 scott,dura ace shimano, mavic ksyrium wheels, it is cheap and it is so good in climbing! his weight is 7.2kg its enough
i would say the madone! but if you are not a pro i dont think you can feel any difference between these two bikes ^^.
if i had the money i would go for the madone
lmao this guy just loves the word massive
im confused between Madone 6.9 or Giant Advanced SL…. what is better for climbing?
sounds cool
I am sure that anyone who buys this bike is going to feel like they got a stiff one from giant right up there you know what.
