    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @hardtailparty
      @hardtailparty  Před 8 měsíci +2

      There's VERY little sitting when you singlespeed, especially in Sedona. Cjell is a great rider and an even greater human.

    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. 👍

    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!!

    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.

    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.
