Good fun stuff. Nice antidote to all the over serious build videos out there...

The only country in the World having two separate water taps for cold and hot water : ) What a inversion so practical!

The only? I think you haven't been to very many countries. That's been in the US since 1907. At least, if not longer.
SRAM Di2?! Noice! 😂 Cool bike, good video.

@@geetee4037 Yep. That's actually a trademark of Shimano. I've had both Shimano Ultegra Di2 and SRAM Force AXS and they both have pros and cons.
Nice to have a more relaxed video from Time to Time, happy new bike Vicki ! Detail at 12:44 : is it generally possible to mix and match headset and top cap brands, or is this one a specific case where it works ?

The Deda DCR and FSA ACR system are kind of compatible.
You can clearly see that Paul is a professional bike mechanic, because he doesn't need a filter mask. It's the same as with professional welders - they don't need welding goggles and just look away. 😄

I think I can build a bike. However, the expensive part is all the required tools you need

Go for it. It only gets tricky when things don’t fit as they should.
Nice video once again! I've heard about using shaving foam when cutting carbon. Any experience with that?

Seems like an unnecessary expense and waste.
Anyone else getting flashbacks to the New Yankee Workshop episode where Norm teaches his producer how to make an Adirondack chair? No? Just me? Ok...

I remember that episode. Norm became frustrated until he realized who he was working with and then it was smooth sailing to a completed project.
i don't understand what broke at 21 minutes. is this a nail file? what is there to cut there?

I was just removing a little paint to fit the cable exit plug.
Love seeing the build up of Time bikes, and I'm considering an ADHX 45 for myself 🙂. Just confirming Vicki's bike is a size small, as Jom over at Gravel Cyclist says his is a small as well but definitely looks larger kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGltlMyJaN2skso.html

The "thing" you thread the cables hoses through to keep it from rattling in the frame, what is that?

Sadly not. We just sell them. We sell them because we like them.
