- An extra dramatic build video. It's over-the-top. Is it a dream build? I don't know. I hope you enjoy!

That was a strangely satisfying video to watch, a montage of all the finishing touches on every installed component: dropping in the headset and spacers, screwing down the top cap, finishing the handlebar after cutting it, tossing the rag, popping the valve stem through... that bite into the cookie...
Haha, it all felt appropriate
Yes Professor Sauce!!!!! Awesome build with that colour matching! I do the same on my Kona Rove but it’s orange and a mix of Hope and noname stuff
Quite simply the grooviest build video I've seen in many moons.
I must do this.
Very satisfying to watch. It was also strangely sensual. 😅
lol you’re not the first to mention this.
Utterly glorious
So beautiful
Oh that is pretty. 😍 May it ride as nicely as it looks. 👏 Enjoy!
Beautiful build. Now I want bike parts and chocolate chip cookies. Well done.
😆 thx
Sick one! Bike looks amazing and super fun, well made video, chill tunes. 🎯
I love the color scheme!
OMG!! Man that was so satisfying to watch! Beautiful bike build!
Ha! Thx Johnnie
nice man! digging the purple accents I put some purple on my hardtail build as well cheers
Nice build 👍
..thanks for the cookie🍪..love the details…
😆
Honchos for the Honzo.
Nice
Looks awesome! Those colors pop! The Wolf Tooth bling bits really contrast nicely with that frame color. I’m currently running that same Teravail tire combo but with CushCore and wider rims. Perfect for hardtail’s in So Cal!
The rims will be a concern. I’ve got trail wides on the Hightower but I’m seeing if the XC wides will do on the hardtail. I’ll address rim width in the bike check video coming this week
After watching The strangely and yet satisfying video, I am craving for a cigarette.
Nice, subtle build....love the simple color highlights. I personally don't like purple, but to each their own, but it looks good. I would have went with gold/yellow or maybe orange anodized parts. I added orange parts to my otherwise dull mat black bike just to add a bit of pop.
Nice job on the Honzo.
Color is subjective for sure. I don’t usually go purple either, but it complements the green/gold frame well imo
@The Bike Sauce True, every rider has different tastes. Which is a good thing, or else cycling would look boring with everyone riding the same bike.
I also would have picked gold for the anodised bling / bike jewelry. Be that as it may, nice build. Love my Kona hardtails since I am old school. Cheers ;-)
Nothing wrong with gratuitous when the bike looks great!
Ha, thx Gregg
Cool vid.
I dig the purple: actually, I have had two purple or purple accented bikes last few years, so...yeah.
Rocking the same seat clamp and wheels on my SS HT =)
Been looking into Honzo as a possible frame upgrade to my SS HT, and sliding dropouts would help, since I ride in SoCal, I've been spoiled with frames with capacity for two bottles... which leaves the Honzo ST/DL out, and I am gravitating more towards a Specialized Fuse or Salsa Timberjack.
Nice. Those 2 frames were ok my short list as well
Looks good, fun build video. Do you think you'll ever use the adjustable rear dropout?
Not sure. It’s minimized right now. Maybe a video comparing 3 different setting would be valuable to some
Purple nurple!
lol
@@TheBikeSauce But seriously, the purple ano is a nice subtle touch.
Man I wish I could find a medium Kona Honzo ST for sale
Nice build!
The one thing I might have changed would have been the Purple one-up pedals instead of black.
Right on! I tried to keep it subtle
@@TheBikeSauce black was the right call
Where'd that sweet purple cassette locking come from? I had to rewind it a few times because it flashed across so quickly 🤣
Haha a company called reverse components
2:10 what's your experience with those shimano style pins? I had a master link explode out on the trail, do you think those pins are just as reliable?
These predate quick links and are secure as long as they’re installed properly
I noticed you went with a size medium. How tall are you and how do you like the fit?
Sizing chart says I’m medium, but geo numbers actually suggest a small honzo is closer to my medium Hightower. Still, I went medium on the honzo, and with a 35mm stem, the fit is great.
@The Bike Sauce how tall are you? I'm 5'6 so right in between on the sizing chart.
@@RichardWisdom-jz9lc sorry bout that. I’m 5’8” on a good day. I’d probably go with a small frame, and go up to a 50mm stem if you feel cramped
Build me a bike
Waaaay out of compliance, with excessive sauce in this build video. Plus the music? Save some 🐱 for the rest of us, dude. 😂🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🍯🍯🍯🍯
