Originally from Cardiff, South Wales, Jimmi quit university to pursue his dream of becoming a rockstar. When this inevitably failed, he fell in to a Finance career in London.
Looking for escapism from a corporate life that didn't suit him, in his free time he became obsessed with running, cycling and filmmaking. These passions eventually lead to the creation of his clothing brand Attacus.
Jimmi now leads a quiet live in the beautiful North East countryside with his wife Emily and dog child Bella.

If you want to know more about the new SRAM groupset, I've also done a full rundown video called 'Everything You Need To Know About the New 2023 SRAM Force' . You can watch it here: czcams.com/video/wRM6Ksj2M9c/video.html
Bike is sick but personally I’d appreciate if you would give a list of those absolute bangers playing in the background. Shazam is not picking the last one up unfortunately. And if I can’t have the bike, at least give me the music! :))
What frame set is this? Great video and build 👌
This bike is INSANE! 😍
The most therapeutic thing I've watched all day.
That looks like a carbon bike shape but in titanium form. Wow.
Sick build. The new sram force goes especially well with a titanium frame and zipp finishing kit. Drooling.
Have heard Nic mention his passion for titanium bikes a few times. Would be nice to see a review of this or other suggested titanium bikes 😊
What is it that is so satisfying about watching a bike being put together
Now that’s a bloody good looking bike!!
Great video Jimmi - the focused shots of the finished bike at the end are 👌🏻
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The bike looks beautiful and those 30C "bronze"-wall make a huge contribution on any bike, love them and pretty much the fastest all-season tires right now.
Congrats to the owner!
Amasing nice frame - i love the lid under the bottom bracket and even seems to have build in cable routing inside the bottom bracket 🙂very cool
That sram force group fits incredibly well with the titanium goddamn! Sick build
Very nice work Jimmi ! The timing is very good, many times bike build vids are going too fast or too slow on certain part but this one is pretty amazing for that !
Thanks GCS. ✌🏼✌🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
finally a flawless proper build with a finishing kit that fits !
14:38 One of the best looking bikes.
I really liked what they did with the plate on the BB shell for the cable routing that was cool.
Lots of satisfying click, clacks and thonks. They are a sweet looking frame set. 👌
This is my dream bike. I am an avid fan of durability and speed. That SRAM Grouoset goes well with that titanium frame for me too. Soon I will buold something like that but using a Lynskey framr.
El titanio nunca muere!!! Bonita bici. 👍🏻
Carbon es mejor pero... titanio es refinado!
This is a piece of art 👌
Nice bike.
It could be the one.
Love it to be mine someday
What a beautiful bike. Great video. Keep them coming. Bike builds are my favourite way of wasting my time.
I came for the SRAM group but I was fascinated with the Frame
Wow~TITANIUM BIKE👍👍👍👍👍
Stunning and Timeless ❤
Such an impressive build by an experienced and talented mechanic.
Didn't expect to see a Dutch brand on here, nice! 👍
No? Nic sells a lot of them.
By far my favourite brand. Got to embrace my Dutch heritage 🙌🏽
Ya ain't much if ya ain't Dutch!!
Perfect
What a dream bike!
Nice build and nice wristwatch Nic 👌
most satisfying video of the year
That guy Nic - doesn't say much does he...
Nice build & Nice Bike > cheers
LOL!
Very good editing 🤣
@@nicvieri2627 > I figured the editing was taking Jimis' incessant talking OUT...
((just kidding guys !!))
Love the Channel too
Perfect Frame
Mesmerising
perfect
At 9:55 you can see that the person is wearing a Grand Seiko, great watches, always. Good choice, mate whichever the GS, is.
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Nice! Love the build, love the video quality, love the music! Now if you just didn’t have to worry about pulling the pegs out of the tool wall when you grabbed a tool. 😂 FRANCIS!
Great video! What’s even greater is that I have that exact bike, and I have the same groupset and a pair of Zipps and GP 5000 transparent primed to be put on it soon! (Okay, it’s the previous Force and 302’s but I’m incredibly excited to get it all sorted!
Nice.
Stunning
Love the Arnie!
Everyone is excited about the bike. But check the immacualte, well tooled, spacious and bright workshop. The stuff of dreams!
I have just rebuilt my 2016 Orient with the old Force 1 AXS etap, and I think it looks quite nice, but the new frames re awesome!
Master..... I want to build that same bike. Amazing.
Nice Arnie Seiko and GS watch!
I could literally watch this for hours, what a great build! Nic's sequence of putting it together, the very organised way of working, excellent camera work, the pace of the video, the music and quality of production 👍🏼
And this titanium bike is just 😻
Beautiful bike
great video! loved the editing and overall vibe! you earned my sub :D
Thanks!
Louis Theroux has gotten pretty good at assembling bikes!
The same people or guy that distributes that Guillem frame also used to distribute that frame under the Van Nicholas name in the Netherlands. I bought the Skeiron several years ago. It was a pretty heavy frame but I didn't mind that as much as something was off with the geometry and the balance of the bike was very poor. You never let go of the bars because you could crash. The headtube and BB shell were not faced and the headset bearing cap rubbed against the frame so I had to file that down. That seat post you show is also the same and the problem with it is the micro adjustments, there aren't any and I couldn't get the saddle level where it needed to be. Also the titanium had blemishes in it that could not be sanded out. I tried to clean up a blemish on the downtube and a hole started to appear and if I continued to sand the hole was getting bigger. It's not good titanium. Sorry to be the downer in the room but I would advise to stay away from these frames.
Thanks for answering I was looking at a van Nicholas boreas they do answer, but regarding jguillem I have been trying to get in contact with them ,they do not and it's adding to what you just wrote
Nick is the best bike builder in the business 10/10, catch up soon
Love me some titanium! Beautiful build! Subbed!
BTW, we need to see more Ti!
That is a special frame indeed! Super sexy lines.
Nothing better than Ti ! I put a carbon seat post on mine. Much nicer ride. Sram is nothing but the best!
Spotted a Seiko Arnie.
Bici importante accattivante bene❤fatta con della testa artigiana!
You forgot the break fluid... but I'm sure there is another great Parktool for it to accomplish that mission... lol
guys I think the tire on the front wheel is installed in the wrong direction
14:24
I have a SRAM Force 1 groupset on my cyclo-cross bike, I would put it up against Campag or Shimano equivalents like Chorus and Ultegra, faultless shifting 😊
pure Ti 😍
I know this is an old video but what is the spray Nic uses at the end, could do with something like that for my Ti frame? Lovely build by the way!
Damn
beautiful .... did I miss the part where he bled the brakes?
Great build Jimmi, what grease do you use for the threads? Is it titanium specific?
Nicely designed but a little more grease would be good
Lovely build, lovingly shot. But Nic used a Shimano hose cutter at 06:44 so this is literally unwatchable 😜
Sshhhh. Don’t tell anyone.
Beautiful! Why does everybody crazy about titanium?
Not sure to be honest.
Maybe because it's a frame that will outlive you, that doesn't need film protection and that is not as harsh as the carbon ones
Beside the outlandish price of high grade Ti...
Qualities of titanium include:
Outstanding corrosion resistance
Superior strength-to-weight ratios
Low density
High heat-resistance
High heat transfer capability
Very good oxidation capabilities
High melting point
Low elasticity module
Excellent erosion resistance
Low thermal expansion coefficient
Love the new studio but you guys need more sound proofing...lots of echoes and everything he does just sounds very loud. Besides that it's great! LOVE THAT BIKE!!!!!
Cheers guys
Beautiful! 🙌🏾❤️
How much does it weigh?
Jesus christ these components would be such a nice match on my Black glitter Cervelo Soloist.
Want.
El titanio sigue vivo
Wow....my rotors didn't slide on that easily at all!
Droooool.
Đep qua!
Nice Arnie on the wrist
That big,chonky stem is disproportionate to the slim,graceful head tube.
Nice build! That rim tape tape will be gone very quickly though, Silca sealant eats printed rim tape for breakfast.
😂😂
How much does it weigh!? The bike looks amazing. I wanna hear about it
8 something or other.
It’s 8.6kg. Could drop a fair amount of weight with a carbon seatpost and 303’s instead of the 404’s. The bar and stem is fairly heavy as well.
@@nicvieri2627 Clearly not your bike with a 2x
nice clean looking bike, so glad they are NOT doing that fad of "fully" integrated cables/ hoses. sheesh
😬
Do many people buy a comfortable Ti frame and then slam the stem?
музыка в конце прикольная!
Are those tubes hydroformed? BTW, do you reduce the torque setting on the wrench to minimum before storing? I think they lose calibration faster if they stay above minimum for long periods.
Bu kadrodan istiyorum Harika
Very nice build. Despite the obvious change in aesthetics I do wonder how the weight of new Force compares to old Force/Rival or if SRAM are just trying to tempt us in with shiny things
Have a look at my other video. All the details of the weights etc.
if you don't mind me asking, how long does it take to build a bike from out of the box?
Depends on the complexity. Between 2 and 8 hours. But it’s much quicker if I’m not filming Nic.
3hrs max
Great video. Who built the frame? Also, just to clarify, do you guys have any business relationship with SRAM or it's distributors? When you did LTwoo there was more of an ???, I can't tell if you are genuinely excited or genuinely excited + part of a marketing roll-out. Neither is bad but if it is the latter, a note in the comments would be appropriate. You guys have every right to have sponsorship as long as it is transparent.
Nic owns Backyard Bike Shop. I film videos of bikes that Nic builds for his customers and for himself. Nic of course has a relationship with Sram as he sells their parts, along with all the other manufacturers. He’a not tied to any one company or distributor.
Sram asked Nic if he and I wanted to make a video of the new groupset if they gave it to use early. Nic said yes.
I don’t have a relationship with Sram. The only brand in cycling I have a relationship with is the one I founded, Attacus.
RE the frame - the full build specs are in the video description.
RE L-Twoo - I assume you mean the video on Cade Media?
@@Jimmidoesstuff Yes. Assuming it is all one umbrella now. Did not mean to be harsh. I am rooting for you. I like the video and just want to know when something is an add, which on CZcams is very hard.
@@Jimmidoesstuff Also, CZcams must have changed things. I did one tap and only saw an extended into and it took a second to see the build. 🤦
@@andarenbici why of course. Cade Media and my channel are consumer focused. We don’t make videos for brands. We make the things we think people want to watch. And with that in mind we think it’s always important to sign post why we are using a particular product - if the product has been provided as part of a relationship.
If anything this channel (not Cade Media) you could argue is sponsored by Backyard Bike Shop as they supply me with bikes to shoot.
The L-Twoo ‘genuinely excited’ comment: do you mean in the Mailbox Monday video on Cade Media? If so, we paid full price with the L-Twoo and have no relationship with them. I’m all for brands that disrupt the big players. So am honesty wanting more, smaller, brands coming through. It forces the big players to have to work for their money, rather than it be a given.
That's hot.
@4:20 where’s the copper grease?
Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good. czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1. Very light2. Solid quality build3. Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)
What's the antisieze/grease/assembly compound being used?
A parktools one.
What is the weight of that build and what size frame?
Is this the crank with the disposable power meter
I think so 😱😱😱
Do you know the final weight?
8 something or other for the full build.
@@Jimmidoesstuff That's similar to my carbon bike. Cool.
8.6kg. Loads of room to get it lighter. The Ti seaport doesn’t help at all. 🤣 But I wouldn’t change it for anything
What is the saddle make?
Que marca es? El nombre porfa
Can I also ask what you sprayed onto the frame at the end Jimmi? I sometimes use furniture polish as mentioned by Jan of JG.
Some kind of ceramic coating. You’d need to ask, Nic.
@@Jimmidoesstuff Who's Nic!??!! 🙂
What size Orient frameset is that?
He really likes his torque wrench😂
And did he really just seat those tires with a floor pump???
nice bike!
bike weight would be nice
Not important. But 8 something or other
Weight?
owns or at least runs a bike shop... builds bikes at francis's studio.... makes sense. ;)
There was a private event on in the cafe. And i wanted cleaner audio.
And uses the allan keys from a multi tool :D
@@nclsv yes.
