I'm so happy you got one of these. When i rode this bike, you were the first person that popped into my mind as the ideal rider for this bike. Can't wait to see you ride it on the trail with me sometime. Such a tasteful and beautiful build.

@@oldshovel I'd love to see you build up some more new steel bikes.. I think you would do an amazing job on a racing green Stanton, given your love of fancy hand made English saddles and Anglophile paint.

I'm a simple man, I see an oldshovel video in the morning and I relax watching it while drinking my coffee. Love the oldschool steel frames.

I started the video and there were about 44 views. By the time it ended there were 800. There's nothing better than starting your day with a bike build from Old Shovel.

All i see is money money i can get a bike cheaper than this and do the same thing with it

I remember as a kid in the 90's I begged my family to donate for my birthday to have a Fuji Tahoe. This build is really something else. Nice!

I redid my 95-96 Homegrown to have a rigid Carboncycles fork, v-brakes instead of cantis, shorter Thomson stem, wide Answer bars, Thomson seatpost, wider tires, but kept the 3x8 Gripshift Xray, White Brothers cranks, and og Selle San Marco tomato seat..... that bike is SO FUN, much more than before... I rip on that thing. Sometimes my Stumpjumper Carbon 29 gets jealous. Great build, man!! That's SICK!!

What a beauty! Wow Deore XT all the way , raceface stem and crankset, magura hydraulic brakes, nice rims and and the fox 34 the dropper post, the brooks saddle the maxxis minnion tires it is really what anyone can dream of a nice bike on top of that a beautiful niner frame, i kind of remember my first decent built back in the 90's cannondale M900 frame and all shimano XTR hubs, crankset cassette, rear and front deralieur , mavic rims , panaracer Kevlar tires Answer Manitou 5 Dt swiss spokes, zoom profile handlebars , money well spent and totally a nice investment, man enjoy as much as I did back in those days.

I'm a massive fan of using frames for as long as possible. So enjoy these builds a lot.

I love the the music you choose in all of your videos on KZread or instagram🤩👌🏻 You are the best Rob👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Greetings from Germany👋🏻🇩🇪

I bought one of these newer geo SIR 9s and it is freaking amazing. Perfect all around bike for Bikepacking, XC trails and family rides. I have a shorter torso making it a perfect fit

As a former bike shop owner and manager for other shops. While a master mechanic and master jeweler I find your videos interesting.

Disney's Robin Hood is an all time great! We love to watch it with our kids.

The Jarritos at the end was awesome. I like the sangria a little bit more.

My son is getting into bikes. I used to love riding 20 years ago before life got busy. My Vintage Gary Fisher has been asking to be upgraded. I have been relearning what is available for bikes. Riding my old bike a bit. Working on it more. I think you just built my dream bike. THANK YOU!

What a beautiful bike! So happy to see you treating yourself with a new ride!

Just got me a RLT in black. I really want a SIR now

Great to watch a good mechanic put together a bike correctly with patience and care. Thanks for calming video!

Awesome build, thanks for sharing. Back in 2012 I built up a Niner MCR 9 frame, and currently still riding it and actually just ordered the Niner RTL 9 Steel Gravel Bike, can't wait to get it (backordered) of course.

Pickd up a trek marlin 5. Swapd cockpit and cranks to Raceface Turbine components. Chainring Absoluteblack cinch 36t.. tires are panaracer semi slick 48's. Swapd fork to a rockshox judy gold. Love the ride. Thank you for the inspiration.

im currently in the process of doing a complete rebuild of a vintage1999 kona muni mula (which i picked up for £20) and up to now, have ploughed about £500 into it, replacing EVERY single component with a brand new upgraded and high quality modern equivalent. its about 80% completed now. just waiting on my new wheels , deurailler, chain, and headet. its my dream build

These videos are the best. Other guys show like 2 seconds of them doing each thing then switch

Beautiful bike

Nice frame, nice build! Kudos for your new bike! As always, great video. Thanks for share it with us. Big hug!

Got those same grey Oury lock on grips on my Trek Marlin! Love em

The orange soda and everything is awesome in this video!.. Thank you.

Wow, simply unbelievable 🙏🏻

This frame is maybe the nicest bike frame on the market (specialized epic elements series is hawt too). Would love a niner for my next bike.

This is the 2and video I watched, and is pretty great look all the magic... JARRITOS...que buenos son!!!!!... GREETINGS FROM MÉXICO, blessings. Que viva MEXICO...🚲🕊🇲🇽🏆🧿

As I've got older (and slower) I've found myself hankering for the old bikes I used to ride when I first got into mountain biking 30 years ago. It's like you're making these videos just for me! So much so that I've searched around for my favourite bike from back then (a 1992 Kona Hahanna) to do something inspired by your work. Thanks.

I agree Jammy. I bought my first MTB, Diamond Back with the original Marzocchi fork, in 1990. I repurposed the frame and stem and turned her into The Mule. Rigid fork, Nexxus 7-sp. She hauls my surfboard, my BOB trailer and has racks front and rear for extra beer. Steel frames rule if they’re not abused.

Still love your videos. Nothing useless, only the raw reality, without any bling, or brand popularization. That satisfied drink at the end is perfectly shows the subscribed people's feelings after your builds :D

I know I debated between the MT Trail SL’s or the MT7’s and decided with the bike packing planned the extra power on the rear would be helpful.

Interesting choice to go with DH brakes, cranks, and tires. But man, 11sp for the win!!

Glad to see you do one for yourself! Timeless build, definitely a solid all-rounder that can handle some rougher stuff while still being able to do a full day in the saddle.
