- This week in the bike workshop we're putting together a Cannondale Topstone Gravel bike. This bike is actually going to someone who contributes quite a bit to the channel... it's our camera guy Chris!
We've added the Joes Bikes touch with a custom decal kit in holographic red the same as a Santa Cruz we featured on the channel recently.

Awesome thanks

Excellence build Joe
Thanks dude!
I was like, I've seen stickers on this channel before. But seeing individually cut letters, that don't have connecting webbing to add bumps or affect the gloss or matteness of paint. Newly founded wow.
Belle boutique, bel atelier...Et beau vélo!
Merci et merci d'avoir regardé
Beautiful bike Joe 100%
Thank you!
Beware: Read Cannondale’s fine print in their Warranty Policy. They may use it against you for their best interest. My $5000.000 carbon fiber frame Jekyll broke after six years of use. Cannondale never made a finding that it was due to use or abuse. A hairline crack formed at a weak point in the frame. The bike was sold to me with a lifetime warranty on the frame. The best offer Cannondale gave me, under their lifetime warranty, was 20% off of retail - yes, that's right 20% off of retail. I fought them on it over a two month period and lost. So, I am now stuck with a 34lb paperweight. Cannondale has what I feel is the worse warranty in the bike business. If you do purchase a Cannondale bike and something goes wrong, know that they probably will not work with you at any level in your best interest. In my opinion, they do do not value you as a customer, they only value your money. This has been my experience.
That sucks, man. Watching some other youtube channels I also get the impression that the engineering and quality control can be really appalling at many of the major brands, Cannondale, Trek, Canyon etc., so I guess we're being ripped off quite often by these companies.
@@userbeverage Friends of mine have had great warranty support from Specialized bikes, I'm not sure of the others. I now own a Transition Scout - fantastically fun bike. Transition is owned by fanatical mountain bike riders. It is my belief, hope that if something goes wrong with the bike they will honestly follow up on their warranty promise.
yeah a lot of these big and so called "reputable" bike brands - like trek, cannondale, etc - are huge rip offs - they don't actually stand by their warranties and will do anything they can to rip you off.
I am never getting a carbon bike for that reason -
sorry to hear. I hope you find a better bike from a better company.
Try Giant.
Wooooow amazing very nice bike
Thank you!
Parabéns!
Pięknie to robisz 👍🤟👍🤟👍🤟
To bardzo miło powiedzieć, dziękuję
This is my first time to see such a gentleman to build the bike. You built a piece of art.
I also want to order a Topstone 2, do you have size X or XL on hand?
Thanks!
That was serene to watch. Beautiful job. It'd be nice to see the final build (and a walk around) before the CZcams cards come up to block what we were all waiting to see. Thumbs up!
Thanks James, we love what we do and I'm glad you like it too. thanks for watching and your comments, cheers Joe.
Very nice insights. Nice work... What is this shock absorbing stem? is it the "stiel" kinekt?
Yes, correct
Bellissima...
Grazie
Отличное видео и велосипед хорош!
Спасибо!
Cable length!!
Is that how much grease I’m supposed to be using? I’ve been raw doggin it way too dry. What is your preferred product? I think I bought Park Tool “polylube”.
I’m enjoying the bike so far czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
Cheers Anna
What is the white grease you put on threads?
😍😍🚲🚲 gravel bike 👍👍
Cheers Jose
Great vid!!! How does someone get the Cannondale decals?
We sell them in our shop.
@@JoesBikesUK Do you ship to the United States?
Bro Im curious what is the weight and size of the frameset and fork? Planning to buy the topstone then upgrade. Thanks
No idea
Gorgeous bike... is the thumbnail a different colour?
No it's the same, we just took the photo outside in different light. It's a really pretty colour
@@JoesBikesUKah wasn't sure because I'm colour blind.
I have a caadx and the paint is gorgeous 😍
In the dark it looks deep purple but when the light gets in it you can see greens and gold reflection
Hello! Is these rims tubeless ready?
Hi, yes they are, cheers Joe.
hey men where I can get the protective film that you applied to the bike?. I just bough one topstone and wanted to take care of it as much as i can
Send us an email and I will get the details.
@@JoesBikesUK done!
Un lien s'il vous plaît pour la potence ?
😎💯👍👍👍
Thanks!
Not bad for a first build...
Cheers
What is the tire size in inches
Hi there, they are 700c which is 29'' x 1.5'' thanks for watching, cheers Joe.
You'd think that an expensive bike would come with the decals already applied, clearcoated even...
It does. On this bike they are black so we used our printshop to make some custom decals to match the red trim for the customer. Cool aren't they
Tubes and flat pedals 🤨
Not any more, it’s now tubeless with HT clip in pedals 😃
@@ChrisDaviesPhotography Sounds like you've been busy dude ;-)
Absolutely hate the wheel decals..
Hi Tim, personal taste I suppose, but do you like the one's on the frame? Cheers Joe.
@@JoesBikesUK I guess.. but I like the understated stuff, keeps a bit of mystery
man that stem looks atrocious - ruins the lines of the bike imo.
a redshift stem would have been much nicer and still provided the polymer based
"suspension" that one does - yikes.
Mostly a really nice build, but that is one hideous stem.
It was a request from the customer and met the budget. He has a problem with his wrists and needs some kind of suspension
@@JoesBikesUK I am sure there was a specific reason why that stem found its way onto the bike, yet I am also sure there are better-looking parts to fulfil that purpose. The most important thing though, is that the customer is happy, and I bet he is.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 I am. I know it looks a bit rubbish but it just takes the edge off the bumps for me and keep the pain in my wrists away
Nice bike, but the stem deserves a place in the trash bin! Ugly! 😂
Hi Bike Life, glad you like the bike, I hear ya on the stem, they are not for everyone I suppose. I do like the Idea of some for of shock absorption on a gravel bike though, not sure they have designed one that's not ugly yet! What would you like if any?
@@JoesBikesUKi understand the thinking behind these stems, but I'd rather add a set of carbon wheels with 45mm tyres run tubeless at low pressures or a carbon bar. I realize the cost is considerably more. However, I believe that would give you a similar amount of comfort while looking a whole lot better imo. I'm in the process of rebuilding my 2018 CaadX and if I can that's the direction I will go.
@@BikeLife154 Sounds like a great alternative. This bike was for a customer and was their specification but I built a Marin Headlands for myself which had 650b carbon wheels on it which was good.
I'm going to build myself another gravel bike soon so watch this space ;-)
@@JoesBikesUK NICE!
Amazing work
What the white stuff applied at the start? Is it lithium grease?
It's Juice Lubes bearing grease, thanks for watching, cheers Joe.
