Frame of Mind - Building a Yeti SB160 mountain bike FULL MOVIE

The appearance of a turquoise bike frame in a darkened workshop kicks off a series of highly stylized vignettes where, bolt-by-bolt, a mountain bike is born. Frame of Mind is an up-close look at the art and craft of being a bike mechanic.

Your precision and attention to detail is world class.
Everything about this video is gold.
Job well done.

Here from MTB Podcast! SICK build!

[@Perceptionmtb]

Thanks, man! Really stoked those guys called the video out in their episode. I’ve got another one in the works: REEB Steezl with Intend suspension. Subscribe and catch it hot off the editing software.

Came here from the MTB podcast. Dude - this was an amazing build and vid! Some great ASMR tingles too!

[@Perceptionmtb]

Thanks, man! Glad you’re into it. And really grateful for those guys at World Wide Cyclery. I just started working on the next one. Will be a REEB with Intend suspension.

This is amazing and really points out the fact that a great bike is a work of art and craft, a combination of so much thought and attention from so many creators put together with incredible care. In a very consumer-driven world, it really makes you appreciate all that goes into each part, which makes the ride down and up so much fun. The filmmaking here is also better than anything I have seen from any manufacturer, genuinely great filmmaking. Can't wait to see what else you do next!

[@Perceptionmtb]

Thanks! More to come. I’m working on a Reeb Steezl video now. What are you riding?

[@seawalkarrg]

So graceful, I wish you were my dentist! ;)

[@Perceptionmtb]

Thanks. I’ve got pretty shaky hands in real life, but fancy editing helps to hide it. I’ve got another build in the works. Feel free to subscribe to get notified when it’s up.

Just needs a bell and streamers for the handlebars : )
