Field Cycles custom disc road build

This thing is fire. One of those bikes that you can tell everything was thought out from the start, not just thrown together with mismatched parts

That’s so funny, Jake. Such a small world.

I know exactly who you’re talking about (his first name starts with a ‘G’...). He came and rode here with myself and another lad with a Field (who’s also from England).

Hope NY is treating you well.

Praise indeed. Cheers man.

This remains the most thought-out thing I own (I wish the same attention to detail went into other stuff)!

Looks so good with the tanwalls!

How are you getting on with eTap?

Cheers man! Yeah, some have issues with it but I have found eTap to be fantastic.

Nice, it's definitely on my "to try out list."

Once the new bike arrives, that’ll be all three on SRAM (1 eTap, 1 Red mechanical, 1 Force 1x). Not sure why, but I like the shifting more than Shinano (haven’t tried Campy - have no desire to).

but I like the shifting more than Shinano

Likewise. I like the affirmative thump with every shift. It's nicely mechanical.

That’s actually exactly it for me. When I had Ultegra for a while, felt less ‘definite’ (sure it’s largely perceived, of course).

Yep, that’ll be him. Very small world indeed.

Lovely!

I just saw your new build on YouTube. Looks really good! Is there going to be a thread about it on here?

Ah, thank you.

Wasn’t sure there would be much interest, but will probably get round to it in the next week or so if there is!

Link?

@xDOMx I hope you are ok with me posting the video?

Saw the vid. Looks great. I still fancy the Field more though.

Of course! You saved me a job, too!

What a bike!!! Congratulations fella, ride well!

Super nice bike! You might want to work on that upper body strength tho ;-)

Wrong thread :)

Dang. Nice bike, Dom. I have to ask, what's it like actually riding a bike that light? At all skittish?

Haha that was because Tobias was trying to get a certain shot for the thumbnail which involved lifting the bike with one hand (took many, many takes)!

Interestingly, not at all skittish. I expected it not to feel ‘planted’ on descents, for example, but it really does.

It’s not crazy light, so perhaps that comes with the real ‘weight weenie’ builds (closer to 5kg)...

Classic Youtuber problems!
