    Great concept for this series. The absence of judgement & snobbiness about parts as long as it works is refreshing in a sport that can get so carried away with the latest developments in technology. Looking past that and showing what can be done with the smallest realistic budget really encourages accessibility for those who don't have the finances to drop four figures on a bike.

      You are right about that. I bought a low price entry level gravel bike and over time bought better components to rebuild. It was fun figuring out what would work, and finding parts on sale on line. Every time I received a new component in the mail was like getting a birthday present. Best part was I could still ride what I had while waiting for new part delivery. I moved the parts I replaced on an old 2003 bike which I gave to my brother.

    Jeremy, delighted you brought a vintage Fuji back to life and are so pleased with it! In '77 I bought a Fuji America, their top touring bike then, hand-made in Japan under Dr Shoichiro Sugihara. It's 52,42 up front, 14 to 30 (6) in back, 38cm handlebar, and 24 lb. With 35cm Panaracers in front and 32 in back (widest that'll fit), it's still giving me great Kansas gravel rides. Thanks for these episodes!

They cost $10-$20 and are well worth it. Also converting the front crank to 2x without chain drop should have been a matter of adjusting the inside limit screw? Anyways more of this!!

    This is a great series. I converted a Trek 7600 hybrid to a cross bike years ago - before there was widespread availability (at least in the US) of dedicated cross bikes. I love the bar-ends! And have the rear brake routed to the left hand lever for simultaneous dismounting/deceleration. I loaned the bike out to someone and they replaced the bar-ends with STI and I was VERY SAD when they returned the bike! To each their own, I suppose.

    Such a cool project giving new life to a bike. During the supply shortages for new bikes and parts seen with the global lockdown this is a great series to show how you can build a bike for a purpose through bartering and investing some time. I was able to repurpose a couple of road bikes I didn’t ride any longer and had no market before the lockdown, but since cycling was generally allowed in the US there was a demand for solid entry level bikes. Not everyone needs Carbón and disc brakes. Good luck in the race. I predict this bike will measure up well

    Last year, at age 63, I decided to dip my toes into CX. I have a Giant Farrago hybrid (flatbar w/CroMo tube frame and canty's) bike that I got for free from a neighbor that moved. I had been using it as my rail trail bike. A co-worker gave me Giant alloy handlebars. I bought a quill adapter and a stem ($10 ea.). I bought a pair of Micro New 3x7 shifters off Ali Express ($37) and SPD pedals for $30. New cables for $11 and a pair of wheels, local, off Ebay for $70 (Challege tubs, f. Campy hub, r. Shimano 105 hub.) Oh, and $8 for handlebar tape. Used an old Brooks Professional saddle from another bike on a seatpost given to me by another bike buddy. Total of $176. Well under $300! Unfortunately I had prostate cancer complications this year and can't race, but there's always next year!

As of course YOU know better than anyone, racing requires a continued investment, and why not now continue with a "Now you have the bike, lets go racing" series. Start with $500 for some upgrades, essential gear, and a race entry. This could go for Cyclocross, Gravel, etc. I am currently building a Gravel race bike on a budget, as a challenge, and will be racing (hopefully,.. Damn COVID) a few races come 2021.

      Tbh, He charged way too much for that bike for the condition it was in. Still, it all worked out in the end.

      @@prestachuck2867 I feel like Jeremy accepts that because he keeps tossing in parts as extras. Living in NYC, that isn’t worse than the prices I’ve seen here and Boston can be pretty close to NYC price wise at times.

    Pedal spanners. Always a great way to skin your knuckles. On a different note, Jeremy is a natural in front of a camera, and seems a really positive guy. I think in the long term he'll do well in cycling media, if he stays involved in it.

    This is a fun series! Would be cool to see Jeremy take this bike out for an epic gravel ride/tour to hit some mud and slush and put down some real miles.

    Solid Bike. Still use my old 531 Cross bike for training on.. Maybe improve the braking with some mini V brakes .. Best way to go on a budget . get creative with older frames and equipment..

    When you were threading the bars through the stem, it brought back a memory of when I did that only to find out I had the bars reversed and had to undo them and rethread them. You are right, the face plate is much easier.

    Jeremy's vids are always top notch, both vid and bike are gems. Now I'm going to be running 30c cyclo's on my fitness bike this winter for sure. Can't wait for the third installment! Keep up the good work!

    You'll still destroy me on that bike while I'm on my modern Fuji cross bike. No doubt there.
    I can't wait to see how you do against the monsters in Northampton. Carrying an extra 8 lbs on your bike is going to make things interesting.
    Fantastic series. I love this concept. My first cross bike was built out of an early 90's Diamondback hybrid, so this is very relatable.
