    One of thee best bike build videos I’ve seen, and what a workshop/service course!
  • @arielleon7236
    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.
  • EASILY one of the most intriguing, captivating, relaxing, down-to-the-millimeter-perfection-built things I've ever seen in the world of professional cycling
  • @newpixel
    This is by far one of my new favorite videos. It’s so calming and educational at the same time!
  • @hazamax
    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.

    watched that right to the end.... all those satisfying clicks from the tools and the finishing pieces... awesome job to the builder
  • 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!
  • This was extremely satisfying to watch, thank you for this great inside look!!!
  • @stevesteele6708
    Is there anything more therapeutic than watching a pro bike mech doing his thing

    5:28 me when I‘ve successfully changed an inner tube all by myself
  • @johtor2358
    Thanks for showing us this video. Totally different than my Colnago/Campagnolo bike from over 45 years ago.
  • 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).
  • @block2pictures
    Mesmerised by the art of preciscion and so calming! I'd be throwing the cables and forks at the wall if I tried!
  • @AG17_1
    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.
  • @speednow7078
    One of the best videos I've watched on YouTube, very professional and creative
  • @joepeters9607
    It's cool to see his fluidity of motion from one task to the next - nothing fumbled. He knows the process on an intuitive level.
