Flipping a $300 Facebook Hardtail

Here’s another episode of Flip Bike! I was going to wait another month to do episode 2, but the timing worked out due to weather.

This one was exceptionally fun to build!

My daughter has this same bike but the girls version. I want to convert it to a 1by. Do you think the cranks you used would work if I just took the front derailleur off and just let her shift the back? If not I can look into getting her a box nine

Haggle a little on the price when you're buying the bikes. I bet they would have taken $50 on that old DB or $250 on the GT haha.

Take stuff you will never use like the cassette or that suntour and sell them on ebay, i know its a pain but it will help you bottom line

Can you put a link to those cranks? I’ve been looking for a replacement

DANG that’s crazy i have that bike but I sucks I can not tell you how many times I sheered of the derailer on that bike lol I’m 14 and wish I would have saved my money and bought something better for shredding Seth do you think that you will do something like this video like making a not so good bike into a better bike and selling it cause I would love to buy it so I can ride it at berm park

Dubious economics aside, this series is legit.

“That’s a huge improvement over last time!” No kidding! Let’s be honest, I don’t think this series is about making money but you can’t resist building a bike for a kid.

I always like the look of those GT Aggressors. They are very popular on the budget MTB forums as base bikes for upgrading.

This is my new favorite series from you. So cool!!!

Love this series. That girl is going to be a shredder and you created a great bike to grow with. That shriek she let out near the end was awesome.

Nice! Wish I had that nice fork last month, when fixing up my sister-in-law's commuter/gravel bike.

Seth, I have a proposition: will you flip *my* bike... back to me?

I have faith that you can make a go at this if you stick with it... Your channels seem to be doing well... 😂Awesome stuff!

i like this series more than any other one that youve done

Dude, that bike was on F'ing point. The forks were frickin killer. The gold pops really well with the blue as it all inlays to black. Bad ass

Lol that was my first ever mountain bike

I think this is gonna turn into my new favorite series

Lol yeah I also have this bike. I converted my to a 1x with rockshock fork. Fun starter bike

I had the same GT as my starter bike. Its so great
