I’m always amazed at the patience you have to actually finish a bike completely, ride it, and then edit the video. I would have made 2 separate vlogs about the gravel king not fitting hahah Looks amazing!

Problem is they look rubbish with rim brakes after a few wet rides. That's why most tyres ended up being produced in black. (Not such a problem with discs, obvs.)

@pineapplej7310 11 місяців тому

I really enjoyed the build! I have a suggestion, I would reccomend hitting your paint with a bit of wet dry sand paper (600-800 grit) before clear coating, and then hit your first layer of clear with 1000 grit. Then your last layer of matte will look more solid and the decals will appear sunken in the finish like a factory paint job!
