Hey all! January has been quiet. I wish I could tell you I have been on vacation, but I haven't! We've been behind the scenes building momentum again after the holidays, and setting the stage for a fun and interesting 2024. I hope you all are enjoying life and keeping warm. Enjoy this compilation I put together to hold you over. More good stuff is on the way, and I even have that clapped out GT to restore!
these are the best videos you make
I have been watching you for 5 years
And flip bike is my favourite
Can't wait to see the old school GT
Love flip bike!
You bet that I'm going to sit here for 2 hours, and binge watch my favorite series all at once! Seth, thank you for all your content and contributions the cycling community.
I am 1 hour 10 minutes in I was think I would watch it for 30mins 😂
Can i get it in 4K@@c.vunadann9624

I was lucky enough to purchase the flip bike at 58:35 for my son. We've since ridden Berm Park, DuPont and all over Pisgah with it. Thank you Seth for all you do!
Awesome!
How do I buy a bike from him? I just came across this video so im not familiar with the channel
@@rickymahoney6664 at the time he posted it on Facebook marketplace
Thats amazing!
@@rickymahoney6664 I think he just posts them on facebook marketplace.
Your bike flipping videos aren't the ones that brought me here but I think they might be the ones that keep me here. It's very well done and an entertaining way to learn bike repair. You never know what issues you're going to encounter and we get to learn your thought process and methods you use to deal with those issues.
You legit inspired me to go out to a pawn shop and I bought a mountain bike for $40. It was a pile of junk that needed a lot of work. Few amazon purchases and a couple weeks I now have what I’d consider a very nice bike that I enjoy riding. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
Sir, you’re awesome, the content you create and put out there is absolutely amazing. I’ve been watching you for years now and honestly your videos helped get me through my divorce a few years ago. They helped keep me going in a healthy direction instead of losing myself to depression. Thank you for everything you do.
Flip bike videos are some of my favorites from this channel. I'd love to see new ones! But yeah, it's always nice to see old bikes get new owners who are going to keep riding them!
I've just been stumbling into the mountain biking topic over the past weeks (being a newb roadie annoyed by winter conditions). Your channel has been getting me super excited - and my wallet very scared - because of all the diverse topics you are covering in the MTB world. I didn't know you existed 14 days ago, now I'm a fan!
To protect your wallet, right now is probably the best time to get into this activity. For a bit, you'll be seeing some pretty steep discounts, and hopefully you can use these videos not to spend money, but to save it. That said, if you go out and buy a new bike tomorrow I'm not mad 😂

Seth, flip bike is the best segment you've ever put out, please keep'em coming!
Thanks for helping restore my motivation to wrench on my family's old used bikes. Would love to own amazing new bikes someday but I'm grateful for the videos you have put out Seth, it's made it possible for me to get into mountain biking with my kids on a very low budget. Single Mom amateur mechanic here!
This has been in my feed for a few days and I finally have the time to devote to one of my top fav channels.
Rewatching these flips reminds me of the various fix-up options to be used.
I run a bike shop and this is exactly what we do on a daily basis! Love to see it :) great stuff ❤
Fixing up old bikes is very rewarding and creative for me. Did three this year and have a couple more in the works.
Great content for a snowy day spin on the trainer. Thanks Seth!
Flip bike created a new mountain biker. Thank you for all the great information and motivation to get out there and ride.
Nothing like a Berm Peak marathon to help get through a snow day. Stay safe and warm out there in NC.
I love that first one. I am currently working on a Bianchi Cougar from the early 90s, and this DiamondBack is a good reminder that it can be done.
Flip bike got me into reselling used bikes, and so far I've made around $150-200 from it. Thank you for inspiring me (and many others) to get out and do this!
Thanks for the content. I bought a second hand mountain bike off of Facebook market place last year and after seeing your video's I am now going to do some upgrades to it and turn it into a one by!!! Thanks again!
One of my favorite bike-related series ever. 2 hour compilation? Hell yeah I’m watching it all over again.
The GT was my first ever berm peak video! New to mountain biking, and now I can’t imagine my self without it. This channel makes me love mountain biking even more. Thanks seth!
I feel the same way, the GT was my first to and I’ve been hooked sense
Hey Seth,
Have you made a “Stare at it” T-shirt yet. Love the compilation. Love your work. Watching from 🇦🇺
Been super stressed recently. Listening to this has been my therapy. Thanks seth!!!
This was fun & satisfying to watch. When I was 10, up until I joined the US Navy at 20, I did all my own bike maintenance and repairs & took things apart to see how they worked. I turned 20 in Dec of 1988. It's been a long time since I've done any bike work. When I happened onto your YT channel in 2016, you inspired me to get my 1st full suspension mtb. Tyvm. But I now take my bikes, especially my Emtb, to a local bike shop. Since the end of Covid19, I started acquiring some bike repair tools so I can do some of my own work. So far, so good. For the really technical work, the bikes go to the shop. I will take on some of the more difficult work eventually. As always, maintain your excellence and peace out.
Absolutely love the bike flip series. For one, it teaches me how to service my own bike. But your content is just enjoyable to watch. I could get into your videos even if I didn’t have a bike. 👍🏻
It was fun to revisit your past projects. Here's an idea for a future flip - turn a 90s-era mountain bike into a 'modern' gravel bike. I know it's been done, but not with your style and panache. And with all the gravel trails we have here in WNC, plenty of places for folks to ride it. 😎
This is like a glimpse into life at a bike collective. Lot of older bikes (rarely see anything newer than 2006ish)
I'm a photographer who loves mountain biking. right now I'm editing a bunch of photos from three recent events. Watching this video right now while editing these pictures.
Could you possibly have some tips on getting very nice edits
So good. Could watch these all day long!!! My dream job includes building and refurbishing bikes in this way!
you where correct Seth. this video is keeping me alive this cold winter
Seth - Thanks for the 2 hours of bliss! Do you have a video all things chain maintenance? Tools needed. What you do after every ride or once a month, etc.
I had a Topanga in 96, 97 and 98. It was a great bike. The frame was steel and it was heavier, but it provided an excellent ride in the early days of single track and down hill.
love the background music you pick , the classic piano nad old time jazz is awesome... your video's rock...
You have the best mountain bike channel on CZcams. I learn so much from you. You do so much for mountain biking!!! Great video
Hey Seth, great marathon! I’m new to biking for the most part and have a Mongoose Juneau fat bike. I bought it during COVID when prices were sky high and haven’t done much to it. I would love to see a video of you upgrading a budget fat bike with great parts. I plan to ride this bike for a while longer before adding another fat bike, but I want to do the work myself. I’m learning a lot from your vids, thanks!
I cannot believe video is almost 2 hours... it felt like 40 minutes... Really enjoyed all of it... 👏🤩
This is fabulous Seth! Thanks!!
Those Wake 35mm stems are pretty good. I've used them on quite a few builds. You just need to tap all the way though and use longer bolts.
Glad to see you are taking time for yourself, and time to prepare for 2024. Looking forward to this years content🎉
The last bike here in the list you've said no one is going to buy it. You have no idea wrong you are and how much want there is for that bike from me and many others like me. You just don't get this sort of thing on the market unless it's built yourself. I 1000% approve of this particular build, its incredible. Old school MTB meets Gravel with a flat bar vibes. YES.
This video is literally perfection. I just got my firts mtb ever in my life and I am so excited to work on it!
Finally: the ultimate video for a rainy day
1:49:10 as someone who rode a fully rigid all-surface touring bike that I converted to flat bars on mountain biking trails before saving enough for a full suspension bike, I agree that dropper post alone accounts for at least 50% of the improvement in riding experience over the fully rigid bike, it's nuts how much that changes things. I would ride full rigid again but never without a dropper.
Flip Bike has to be the best series! Love it.
This is one of my favorite videos. Thanks Seth. Keep them coming
I love watching you restoring old mtb specially neglected bike everytime i watch your videos i get motivated to finish my project bike but i cant finish it cause i just dont have enough parts
Currently watching this while I grind on Zwift. Thanks!!
That video is how I discovered you both! I was just getting into bikepacking and thought to myself, "I bet it would be awesome to bikepack to Key West!" and searched "Bikepacking to Key West". Thank goodness I saw that video first! Haha!
Gotta love when he posts a new video, keep it up.
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes. I love this type of stuff. It could be a tv show
Hi Seth, I really like your videos, I watched a lot of them, found u last year and I learned a lot on how to make trails and bike stuff in general. Watched some older videos too. I would really appreciate if you would consider making a video about fork service, more exactly forks with spring like Zoom!
Coconut La Croix... That and Limon cello are my favorites! Great video!
All about that spicy water life!
2 hrs! Perfect timing seeing since the next 7-8 days up here in Wisconsin are maybe a high of 0. So much snow that the fat tire trails are gonna be a bit because of many downed trees, and brush.
This video may hold me over for a bit, or make me very impatient with the weather. Lol.
This video was very informative. You showed things that I did not know.
I remember when I got my first "mountain" bike, (a cheap universal HSC) in 1990, it was pretty shonky, but I upgraded whatever I could with my paper round and lawn mowing money ( I was 13/14). I was really jealous of my mate Seth who had a puch with biopace chainrings. When his bike got stolen his dad got him a Marin Eldridge, and when that got stolen he got an off-road proflex 750. The jealousy got so bad! 😂
I’ve seen all this stuff already and you better believe I’m gonna watch it again! ❤
This is awesome... Been looking at picking up an old Specialized that needs loads of work... It'd be a slow overtime rebuild/upgrade... I've talked myself out of it quite a few times.. But after watching this compilation.. I'm thinking about it again... Did you ever manage to identify the one bike that was unidentifiable??
Please flip more bikes? It's such a good series and deserves more content. It's very enjoyable to watch
Hey Seth, I have a different but kind of the same trick for installing grips. If you don’t have an air compressor, you can plug the hole on the other end of the bar and then tap the grip on. The pressure inside the bars will allow the grip to pop forward with each tap.
This is perfect,Seth!!! Thanks!
Super entertaining and informative. Now to get my first real MTB.
Yes, this video is a dream come true lol. Time to watch clapped out bikes get some claps back 👏
Thanks Seth
awesome video! watched them all but this just makes it easier and re watchable!!!! 🎉
; Ive learned so much about bikes in this video. Thx!
I'm an old guy, too old to be zipping through mountain trails and besides, I live in SWFL, flatlands. I ride ebikes. I bought one back in 2017, built 3 more since then. After hurricane Ian wrecked the area, I bought 2 flooded ebikes for pennies on the dollar. One only needed a bottom bracket, chain, derailleur, motor & battery. I have a spare motor and battery. The other was a bad buy, only salvagable parts were the frame and rear wheel, minus the motor. But again, I already have most of the parts including electronics. Both were stripped down, powder coated and rebuilt. These projects keep me busy and away from the Captain Morgan on the weekends.
Build videos are my favorite. 👌
This was a great treat almost 2hrs of Seth wrenching on bikes nothing better. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
amazing video watched it all the way through!
Impressive you watched a 2 hour video under 5 minutes...
Did you watch it at 8 times speed😂! PS I know you are joking!
@@mikebird19 *1 minute
Thank you for this!
I do agree with you regarding not really doing this for profit. BUT you are showing us that buying used and cleaning up, and restomoding a bike might be a way to go. of some, myself included, fixing bikes up to give away (Charity). Thanks for all that you do in your vids.
Love watching restorations
These trails look like so much fun! Flow for days babyyyyy
You're right about that it's not usually best to clean a bike w/ a pressure washer. Forcing water at pressure against the bike could put water into areas it slowly dries, so slowly, it encourages rust and the corrosion could seize parts and make removal difficult, if not break something in the process. I like to use Dawn Powerwash cleaner, sometimes w/ a used toothbrush on select surfaces like tires - where you need a tiny brush to scrub between tread lines.
I just got back into MTB. After A good 12 to 15 years off. I am riding my 2000 GT I have upgraded bars, pedals, grades from 3x1+ new seat. Can everyone tell how can up grade the wheels size from 26” to 27”. My plan is you buy a new bike at the end of this year.
Please make more of these series!
I need one . The whole set up . U 6000 is sold with everything. Crankset 1x rear derailleur chain bottom bracket shifter .. What else . It's worth it and hassle free .. Why they don't sell the U8000 in a complete drivetrain is a total mystery but those components are of course compatible . This is what I like plus Shimano knows their stuff when it comes to bikes components and fishing reels . It's cheap and a do it yourself type of guy or girl can knock it out in less than an hr . I have a Fuji Absolute 2.3 and I ride everywhere with it . I love it but the current drivetrain is a mess . I need something reliable . Nice video and I like your bike . New subscriber
I completely forgot how absolutely bangin’ the soundtracks are for these videos
I learnt a solid 47.89% of my bike repair knowledge from you. Thanks
Dude those 7 spd shifters, when they would come into the shop we would always trash them. They fail almost every time. Great vid!
i was waiting for one of these!
I enjoyed this video so much i didn't even realize i had watched the whole thing until the end!
Best videos of all time
That Raleigh Inferno XC Pro reminds me of my mountain bike. Which seems more or less like the predecessor to it (mines a 2002 Raleigh M7000). I've had mine for basically 20 years at this point, and definitely need to do some work to it. Thankfully I don't have those brifters, and the rear suspension setup looks nicer.
Thank you, more please😁
I know nothing about anything that you are doing and my bike is a disgrace but I can't stop watching! Fascinating content!
2 hours of flip bike?
Say no more.
FINALLY!! the content that I enjoy to watch and learned about it, the repair content😅😅
Major respect. You put in an absolute shift to fix those up
Love the fancy pair booth. Also love your videos
Great video as always! Ryan is a fantastic and inspiring CZcams human.
i still run schrader valves coz i live 300 meters away from a petrol garage with free air
it also helps because its very hard to find presta tubes with removable cores , i put sealant in my tubes
Great review!
I have my old, very basic bike sitting in the basement, and I probably wouldn't have done anything with it if it wasn't for this series, but now I have so much ideas. I'll fix some things, put on new rear brake I have, try to sell it. And all of that after I build new shed to organise tools and stuff.
I enjoyed your video. I liked seeing the stickers put back on.
5 days at my job wathing this, thanks!!
Seth is fixing my shorts addiction, god bless you man
I like the whole process of flip bike and seeing if you made a profit from it. Don't change a thing and keep doing what your doing.
A rue Flip Bike Challenge! The flip bike series is fantastic and ive really enjoyed the every episode. I think a twist to the series would be a trade up series of vids, going from a free bike from the skip, some work and sell on for a profit, said profit is used to purchase the next project (including some money left for parts), again do your magic and truly flip the bike working your way up each project and see where you can get to. The challenge being you can only use the budget from the previous project, not allowed to use any parts you already own. The enjoyment of your current flip bike series with an added challenge. What do you think Seth @bermpeakexpress ? Would any one else like to see this?
Thank you for this
Really interesting video👍 Hope you can help, I barely know about bike maintenance, I'm thinking of treating myself to a new Nukeproof scout, is it a big job to fit a remote lockout to the NPS's front forks🤔
Thanks 😊
I actually like white fork crown.
That first Diamondback reminded me of my very first mtb, a 1991 Mongoose Alta. Mine only had the GS200 group though. And 26x1.75 knobbies.😅
