How to build a bicycle for travelling around the world

This is how we mounted the new bike for Álvaro Neil - www.biciclown.com - on August 1, 2007 We used a Koga frame, Rohloff Speedhub, Chris King DH headset, Phil Wood front hub, only the very best stuff. Made by master mechanic Jeroen at Bike Tech, Barcelona. Filmed and edited by www.filmina.com

WAY TO DARK!! this is entertaining... but not informative

really bloody annoying music. Difficult to learn anything about bike construction. Excellent editing though.

big thumbs down for this shitty video

nice bike. love to have one.

but im happy with my new touring bike that i just 'built'.

Just get a good steel frame and buy good quality but not expensive parts & accessories from the close out sale online.

having a custom bike that is made for you is different from buying a standard one from the shop. everyone should try it.

Nice to get the best of the best and all that, but for real life cross country/world touring best to stick to basics--Shimano for good or bad, and standard sizes. Rohloff is great but maybe not away from FedEx when all the general store has is a Tourney shifter(which will work with Dura Ace on down). Same with disc brakes. How many spare parts do you want to carry? A 655mm disc(rim) works pretty well with Dia Compe cantis. Just stick to basics and ride instead of making lame videos.

why go around the world on a bike?? Are you people afraid of flying?

repetitive

[kuwistar]

Nice idea but bad filming: way to small to be able to distinguish anything on youtube sized screens. And another thing, the music is a bit too repetitious for my taste!
