bought the cheapest bike i could find on ebay as a present for NIC how shall we test it next?
To be exact with free postage now this channel has had some quite expensive bikes on recently what you could get for the cheapest on ebay first impressions not as heavy as i thought it was going to be but the mech hanger is bent and i think there isn’t a mech hanger it’s just a frame so the derailleur has like gone
Inside the wheel so i need to straighten it somehow maybe with brute force i mean the box was only just better than that when it turned up not sure where it originated from so this is the cheapest bike that i could find on ebay the dstat ams 3. it just says ams on the side i don’t really know what that
Stands for although it does say amsterdam on the box it comes pretty much fully assembled i’ll put the handlebars on and i’m assuming there is some bar type in this box which just says a on it you get mud guards disc brakes some sort of gravelly kind of tire the fox actually says on it road mountain hybrid so that’s like
Everything in one you get gears one two three four five branding on the component tree seems to be l two l t w o o l2 a3 which i’ve never heard of frame set is a medium with a dinky little stem look at that classic drop handle bars it’s kind of like shifters on the tops and then brake levers on the hoods so
You can’t control your gears from the hoods wheels uh interesting spoking arrangement feel very solid but very heavy super smooth feeling hubs though oh and these are 26 inch so like little mountain bike wheels basically but you should be able to wow with a light built in look at that that’s well good value for money disc
Rotor front tube pump bar tape quick release skewer they give you some tools in the uh in the box that says a on it but they’re not very good tools and i’ve tried to only use the tools that they’ve given me in that box after i discovered them but i can’t get enough purchase on the um the nuts that holding
That saddle on so the saddle’s moving around this multi-spanner thing is not ideal and really hurts your hands so maybe use a better one thinking this is good value just realized i left one of the best bits out well i’ve been leaning it against the wall it’s got a stand so what do they say officially lightweight and
Durable steel design 24 speed gears comfort memory foam saddle seat with integrated rear light they’re not lying front and rear mechanical disc brakes on 10 spoke against that bicycle pump included bike is require professional assembly by a bike mechanic hmm nick yeah i need you uh i’ve got a present why are
You laughing i was getting excited at first at least sal is coming why are you thank you thanks for buying me a bike that’s exactly what i wanted did you send right for james my drummer i mean my dimension yeah it’s all i didn’t do that on purpose that’s 27.2 though isn’t it so we could put a bet see a better one
It um as as it is we’ll get a drop if someone not me fix i shouldn’t fix anything just ride it the brakes don’t feel very safe i’m gonna that’s what true i mean it’s not a proper test if i like that’s not even tightening so it is a comfy saddle there yeah it’s memory foam actually work what you’re talking about it’s
Got a stand as well nothing plastic on this bike at all no they’re not it’s just metal the mechs bend that’s after i bend it back hold it straight there you go there’s a guard a special guard to stop it from well except i’ve just broken it or was that almost got a crash over there yeah we keep riding imagine
Doing a delivery imagine doing a delivery shift on this oh that’s the next video in this the decal’s not even stuck on straight yeah it’s a hundred pounds can you stop complaining i needed a road bike i mean i can’t continue just riding gravel yeah well this is everything did you there in the car it says road mountain
Gravel i am the chairman of a road cycling club there you go i mean that south of bizarrely is actually mega comfortable it says memory foam but i don’t think it is actually memory foam what’s the next challenge i think well let us know in the comments next i would say gravel ride backyard gravel ride first
Challenge let’s make it back to the studio i feel like the the brakes don’t work when i try and stop but at the same time i think just and i’m pretty sure the suitcase is about to snap what was that noise i tried to break the bars just you know mate i had such high hopes when i was putting it together i was like this is actually
Solid this could be a rideable bike we’ve ridden to the park and almost back i don’t know if we’re gonna make it back it doesn’t doesn’t work dory don’t tell lauren you’ll at home with a newborn baby she’s on youtube all day long there’s no way she’s not going to find out the bars man look at this it’s perfect
You can ride as soon as you want to go faster he’s got more arrow we’re going downhill daniel this is gonna put james out of business yeah i mean like the future of bikes pissing i can change on the go depending on what i want to do so bike is it it’s exciting hold on it’s that
