"Watch Me Build the Ultimate Custom Flat Bar Gravel & City Bike from Scratch!"

This is my 7th custom bike and the most versatile of them all. Flat bar Gravel, Touring and Urban Bike in one! Step by step process of how I built my custom All City Space Horse. This is truly a do everything bike. I mainly used parts I had in the parts bin with the exception of the new frame, Shimano SLX 1 x 12 drive train and one new front wheel. Everything else was either used, take offs or parts I purchased but never used. I spent about $1,800 on the bike but this doesn't include the parts I already owned. If everything was new I think it would have been more around the $ 5,000 range, or a bit more. In fact, the majority of the components are mountain bike parts. If threw on a front suspension fork this would be a very capable hard tail mountain bike! BUT! The frame was really not built for hammering rocks and roots. And that is not my intention either. I have two other mountain bikes that can more than handle that chore. By the way, there is a mistake in the video that is pretty glaring. You see me installing a "part" but later in the video I install another "part" that contradicts the first part installed. See if you can notice it. Here is the parts list. Frame: All City Space Horse Drivetrain: Shimano SLX full 1 x 12 (shifter, derailleur, chain, crankset, cassette, BB and chain) Brakes: Shimano RS305 Mechanical Disc (I was going to use Sram dual piston brakes I just took off my brand new Transition Spur, but they didn't fit. So, in a pinch had to buy these) Brake Levers: Shimano Tiagra Rotors: Shimano XT RT-MT800 Wheels: Stans (Rear wheel is Arch. New front wheel is the Grail) Tires: Schwalbe Marathon Head Set: Crane Creek Handlebars: Transition Mandrel Alloy 35 Stem: Ritchey Comp 4-Axis Stem Seatpost: Canyon S15 VCLS 2.0 CF Saddle - SM Comp Grips: Ergon GA3 Bottle cages: King Titanium Cables: All Shimano Cable and Housing 00:00 Introduction 00:40 My custom bikes 01:01 Seat Post into frame - Build Start 01:23 Fitting fork into steerer tube 01:50 Headset 02:00 Stem 02:09 Cutting steerer tube 03:45 Star nut 04:28 Final Install of steer tube and stem 05:21 Bottom Bracket 06:19 Crank-set 07:09 Brake Calipers 08:00 Cassette 09:11 Rear Derailleur 09:34 Shifting Cable 10:23 Brake Levers and cables 12:03 Grips 12:36 Pedals 12:48 Chain and shifting adjustment 14:18 Tires and tubes and install wheels 14:52 Bottle cages 15:13 Saddle and seat post 15:39 FINISHED BIKE!
