NERD ALERT - Dream Singlespeed Hardtail Build: 2023 Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird

- čas přidán 7. 09. 2023
- Neuhaus Metalworks sent me this Hummingbird with sliding dropouts to replace my damaged hummingbird. Today I build it up with some of my all-time favorite parts to create a dream singlespeed hardtail. This is a steel hardtail made in Marin, CA and it uses 3d printed yokes, hand-welded tubing, and one of the best ride feels I've found to date. In fact, I named the hummingbird the hardtail of the year in 2022. Nick is a small builder and builds these one at a time in his small shop. Learn more about this model here: bit.ly/3UrDDEi

For those interested in keeping up with my health journey and recovery process, I'm posting those videos and updates over on patreon.
I am a long time singlespeeder. It is hard to convince new people what makes it "better". It's really just different. It is simplicity, silence, and efficiency. It's a challenge, and it does make you feel like a kid. I tell new people on single speeds that every bike ride is not a race, and it's OK to walk techy or really steep parts. It's all part of the fun.
Honestly Steve, I believe your channel does an absolute ton for people's understanding and exposure to hardtail and singlespeed MTB and I'm so glad you're sticking with it despite your health issues (saying that, health has to come first!). Your content is well informed, cleanly presented and no nonsense while still being engaging and accessible. There's so much utter guff out there, from other channels who somehow have twice your subscriber count without having an ounce of talent, knowledge or a single original idea. Keep on keeping on, man - we're all happy to support you and hope you keep making content for a long time to come. 🙂
Haven't ridden gears since 2009. I'm never going back.
Hang in there Steve. It's great to see you back in the shop. Best wishes for your future bike life health balance.
Any day a new Hardtail Party video drops is a good day, and single speed content makes it even better!
My take on single speed goes like this:
I'm so glad you brought up the idea of being "over-tired". Putting on a set of fast rolling tires that take almost a pound off the wheels can make you feel like you're borrowing Lael Wilcox's legs for the day.
awesome video Steve, good to see you in the shop doing your thing, yes take your time, and just enjoy it no matter how long it takes, Hardtail Party is not a race, and never was, we appreciate you, for you. :)
I'm a simple man - I see a new HP video I watch immediately. Build videos are comfy.
Long time single speeder. That frame is just beautiful.
Steve, if you only did Neuhaus Metalworks reviews from here on out, I'd STILL watch 'em all! That mint colorway looks fantastic, and I love to see the sliding dropouts!
I love my Bianchi SS. It weights just under 20lbs. It's my go to bike when I'm riding by myself. 😎
Sweet Hardtail Party stem cap! Would be a cool fundraiser to sell those!
That is the coolest color! Single speeding is such a blast and a challenge at the same time.
I learned the joys of single speeding by riding my kids' bikes with coaster brakes. So simple and joyful.
Youre right in many ways. I follow a similar path. Chumba sendero, light trail wheels (alloy rear rim for comfort, fast pick up hub, carbon front rim), pike ultimates, hope xc brakes, ardent tyres. (Disector front in the mud).
Nick is the best. I'm so stoked on my Hummingbird.
Magic carpet, if you get the right one and dial it in. Like being a kid again, but riding a magic carpet. Best riding and most fun I’ve ever had on a bike, at age 56. Recently lost my pre-2004 steel Spot SS that I had tuned to that exact magic carpet / kid again experience.
It's great to see the Hummingbird again. I keep on coming back to this frame as the hardtail I think I want. I hope you are feeling better and able to get out on the bike a bit.
