Cjell is a wonderful human who designs some really out of the box stuff. Should we do more of these types of videos? Which small builder would you like me to feature next?
Myth Cycles!
@@aaronhall845 me too, I really respect their work.
This is a great format.
Praying for you & your fam.
Telling tales while grinding up a hill on a single speed contraption. What a character.
Put these out at whatever pace you can and I will watch them all. Love these types of videos!
Really looking forward to hearing how you liked the La Roca also Steve!
I love the ride interview.
What a Legend!
When purchasing a coaster hub from Cjell I wrote in the order's comments "make an offering to the shred gods." The package I received was packed full with yellow flower petals and included a literal ritual offering to the shred gods with instructions on how to implement the offering. Cjell, like many other small builders, provide awesome experiences like this that you'll never get from big box brands.
P.S. Coaster brake bikes are one of the best ways to get closer to the shred gods.
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Cjell is a character and a wonderful human.
Great video thanks for taking me along on the morning ride.
I didn’t realize this a few years ago when I got in a mountain biking, but hardtail’s are such an art.
In a world that is driven by negativity for attention, I really enjoy your positive channel .
Thank you.
Fantastic Story and presentation of it! owner of one his older La Roca, always a headturner, always puts a smile on my face
What a cool guy, I could have listened to his stories for another hour.
It doesn't get any better than Cjell delivering your El Continente to your door in the bread truck. Getting to go ride with him was just bonus time. Having one of the first production El Continente is very special to me.
Very cool interview! I know a few builders, and they are interesting people, but this guy has to have the best story ever!
This is my all time favorite video format on hardtail party so far. Interestimg stories while we watch each of you ride. Fantastic! Happy trails and good vibes.
Mine too!
WOW, I didnt see Cjell sit down until 9 minutes into the video! Such a beastman
There's VERY little sitting when you singlespeed, especially in Sedona. Cjell is a great rider and an even greater human.
I have 3 mone forks on rigid MTB... hope to one day convince him to build me a custom frame.
That was fun. Wish I had the skills and a bike like that one. Glad it was fun.
Love these small builders and their stories. I owned a small fab shop and often did the jobs nobody else wanted if only to do something more creative and not just doing the 100’s or thousands of parts some companies required. I was always learning something new and met some pretty talented craftsmen along the way. Also, Cjell is in crazy good shape being able to ride a singlespeed and carry on a conversation like that. Thanks for the video Steve and all the best. 👍
He's in amazing shape.
Great one Steve!!! Always nice learning about new bikes and the person behind them!!! What a interesting back ground and cool story 👍👍!!!
Best interview format! Great vid
Love this positive channel
Great video. Loved the story
Ah man!!! This is the story I've been wishing for, for a long time!! I've followed Cjell's work for a few years now but it's great to hear some stories straight from the horse's mouth. I've been running an MRB riser on my Bombtrack and really loving it. I'd love to see a la Roca ride review from you sometime!!
Nice work 🔥
Rad! Loved this video.
It’s so sick to see a guy going against the grain and building bikes he likes to ride. The dude SShreds too. Loving your focus on small builders, Steve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
For the nerds… any chance of telling us what size/make/model tires you guys were running?
I've got a first look vid of this mone la Rica with a little more detail. maybe Cjell can fill you in on the details of this build, I can't remember what was in it.
Is there a Jenson USA affiliate link I could use? Am I missing it in the description?
Here you go: bit.ly/3WSODuD
@@hardtailparty Eek, that link didn't work for me.
@@mikoyle Try this one: alnk.to/clVDM39
@@hardtailparty nice. That one worked. Trying to support the channel and your journey. Thanks!
@@mikoyle thank you so much for the support, it means a ton
no no no rock n roll let's do it
Does anyone recognize the shifter/clamp combo on Steve's bike?
TRP I believe
Hey I wanna find you on Patreon? I think that’s what you called it. How do I do that? Is there a link? Sorry I’ve never done it and wanna pick your brain and make sure your compensated for it.

Instead of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, this is a better version. Call it “Steve Biking with Legends in Sedona”!
Ever consider building?
I did it. I'd love to interview more people on the trail like this.
I'd like to build my own frame once, but never for a job.
