For anyone who works on things like this regularly, here's a tip. If you need to buy a bearing, check out the price of 10 or 20, it's often only about double or triple just buying one. If you buy in bulk every time you need a different size bearing, you'll find soon enough that you already have the one you need in stock and don't have to wait around for shipping!

Instead of buying bearings from a bicycle supply get bearings from a bearing manufacturer sometimes they'll just give you a few of them.

I feel like Seth undersells. His expertise is part of what makes buying a flip bike from him so incredible. You literally get to watch the process. You can trust with absolute certainty that it’s done right and you know his passion shines through his restorations and repairs, as bright as the sun shines on a sunny day. I love rewatching the Flip Bike series videos!

It’s crazy seeing Seth go from storing bikes in a closet and working out of a single park tool tool box to a 3 bay shop with a ton of tools!

I prefer ODI Longnecks. Got a pair of them on my Dirt Jumper and secured them against sliding inward overtime by putting a pair of leftover lock-on clamps on the inside.

$200 was a crazy steal, and that guy got a very good deal at $500. You usually see that kind of bike in pre-Seth condition for $500.

The fundamental problem with flipping bikes is, if you manage to get a bike that you can fix easily and sell for a good profit, it's also good enough to just keep it.

Love the flip bike series, but you need to tell us how much time you spent on servicing the bike. I think it would be really helpful to know but also as time goes on you can keep timing yourself to see how fast you can flip some bikes. Then try to set time records or something for fun.

I wish I could say for sure, but when filming things it takes several times as long. If I was alone with my head down doing these repairs the whole build would only take a morning. We're moving cameras, planning things out, re-arranging, changing batteries, etc so it's a few days of work.

This was really well executed! You did all what was needed and then some to bring it back to life, 500 sounds a really good deal! I like this series on so many levels, bringing old/beaten bikes back to life, teaching bike repairs, having fun, learning about bike history and most importantly making new happy customers that really get a genuinely good deal with something that is properly fixed and safe to ride.

I LOVE this series! Its different, but kind of the same 😁. I love love love watching you service and try to flip bikes, and you are so wholesome not trying to rip everyone off

Hey, amazing video! I love the fact you're looking at mountainbiking in every price range. I used to be so focused on the best and lightest parts, and totally ruined my fun. Now every part i buy i first check on how to service them, and how long it could last if properly serviced. Having fun and a properly serviced bike are the most important things, no matter how old, heavy or maybe weird they are!

This is so cool. I would be curious to know how much time you spent doing the repairs divided by your profit how much per hour you were making.

I had those integrated brake-shifters and loved them (I refuse to use the word you're calling them). I actually removed the extra thumb lever and just used the brake lever. It was ultra clean and worked great for the entire life of that bike (which incidentally I sold for $500 as well).

I'm certain that the DualControl levers didn't come with the thumb paddle originally, but Shimano added them after complaints from shops. I have two bikes with them, and I like them, though the reservoir design on the XTs is pretty bad compared to the XTRs. One narrower riser bars you don't have much room to move the XTs inboard.

By Far this is one of my Favorite Bike Restoration seth ever made.

I love watching you take a beat up bike and turn it around. I can't stop watching

My fav series on the channel so far

I feel a little empty inside when a video doesn’t start with “something a little different but kind of the same”

"of course you need to fill the system back up with break fluid, which in this case is mineral oil, or baby oil seems to work okay" wise words from Seth 2021

I remember when those "brifters" came out. I believe Shimano called them Dual Control Levers just like on the road side. Didn't really translate well to dirt and were thankfully short lived. Saw a GMBN vid talking about riding them at the launch. Stumbled upon this channel andbeen enjoying the series.
