IT'S FINISHED! - James May builds a bicycle | Part 4
Motor
The bicycle saga comes to a close! James May has built this bicycle straight out of the box and in this finale, he takes to the saddle to try the finished product.

James forgot to finish the brake adjustment on the bike, he might delve into that in a future video!

The three of you should do an e-bike board-tracker build and go racing around a velodrome.
That’s beautiful man
James.... build a decent bike. No modern bike has front mech. Get a Sram or Shimano with a 50 tooth cog and where is your dropper
James.... build a at least a decent bike. No modern bike has front mech. Get a Sram or Shimano with a 50 tooth cog and where is your dropper
HI PEOPLE
(Coughs) "Covid!"...... :) & I echo James's parting comment to young Charlie.... :)
What could be more wholesome than James May proudly and joyfully riding a bicycle he just assembled?
comment
Sorry James this isn’t building a bike. This is just final assembly and tweaking a bike. But i enjoyed the fact that this partial assembly took four parts...😂 excellent
So James has built an old fashioned 20th century hardtail mountain bike. Perhaps he could next try building a modern 21st century full suspension XC bike with 1 front gear and 12 rear (1x12), hydraulic brakes, tubeless tyres ... and aim to keep the entire bike under 11kg.
There should be a new series: "James May's Cool Tool Tales"
Comment
This series should be in Netflix.
Bim at it again.
Is that Dr House's bike at the background there?
moral of the story get a normal cycle than a geared one

In the next video james may hoons that mountainbike
Somehow, it is so delightfully reassuring to watch May assemble something whilst narrating.
You need to clean up your garage, grab a broom or something. 😁
'But now we must find out, how fast it goes around our track.
You dont need the tires that hard
Cool
"Bim, guess what..." "There are few people on this planet that I want to watch everything they do."
James may is one of the coolest nerds on the planet.
James may assembles a bike and then tinkers with it
Where do I get that shirt
Now let's watch me build a bike in 5 minutes
Imagine your garage was big enough/tidy enough l to ride a bike around in it.
You should change the title to: A multi millionaire makes a bike without hydraulic brakes for someone he knows
May got covid 😳
Is that May's garage? Are those motorcycles and vehicles all his?
Front Mecs don’t work that well end way
What? No safety nazi's yelling he should wear a laminated styrofoam cup on his head?
looks too small. bad ergonomics/bad bike fit.
Front brake rotor is still on backwards...
I like his t-shirt
Like, comment, subscribe.
Pretty decent size garage...
Should be a 1 x drivetrain..
I don’t understand how it’s taken so long to put together a fairly standard bike 🙃
Bim your the man !!
Frame is too small for you
It took him two months to complete the bike. ...too fast was my feeling.
I brought a mountain bike recently, not had one since i was a kid . Never built one before but figured it can't be that hard. Took me about half an hr to put it together. James may = 4 part series !
Pilock
😄😄👍
Hey James, I've just rebuilt a 1937 Raleigh all steel bicycle. Looks a whole lot more comfortable than yours.
You must hate your kid to give them a totem lol
James May shreds Red Bull Rampage

james May bike videos are so entertaining - MORE (please)
Is that his London home?
im not gonna be surprised if i see one of jeremy clarkson's cars going over james may's bicycle
i hope he doesn't actually want ride off road with that shed as it'll fall to pieces haha
Ahh.. no offence but couldn't you have bought a better bike?
O fer cry-zakes, ya hadda make that tiny bit of video-twaddle a stand alone piece? Yuh just could not tack it on to Part III...? O- Pah.
Shouldn't it have lights? Here in the Netherlands they're mandatory (either way you have to be pretty suicidal to go into traffic in the dark without lights, you become nearly impossible to see).
James May assembles a bike, poorly.
Was that a Mondeo st200?
This inspired me to create my own bike build video.
This video is great because you get to see all the cars in James garage
The lad was 10 when he started,he's now 35.
Yes finally
Erm you need to index the gears correctly and set your limit screws correctly. Viewers if you want how to build and set a bike up go to GCN or follow durian Rider !
Not for nothing,but I spy a 2000's Moto Guzzi V-11
Cough....'covid' 🤣
Sidestand looks great down, terrible up !
oi drivetrube make hammock, jams and clarkson react to bot om gea
That bike looks a bit fast someone tell James to be careful around hills
I can imagine James cycling away and shouting "Like, Comment, Suscribe".
Front disc rotor is still on the wrong way around 🙈
Nice Halfords pump...
Wish he would make some more videos with Oz. Those ones in California wine country were so fun to watch - seems like a lifetime ago.
Love your Honda bikes, James.
I want to see James May build a bike starting with just the frame.
In the beginning I thought your videos were cute. How about you go volunteer at a food pantry , soup kitchen or do something to help those less fortunate then yourself. Enough already with this drivel. Go make a real difference in the world. Build a bike for some poor kid whose parents cant afford. Open up your pub to frontline workers or serve food to the homeless.
And this demonstrates the importance of a test ride, to check for faults post assembly.
he needs to build a motorcycle
What's going on with the Mondeo? I'd quite like to buy it!
Haha you pedantic fool James that was the best clip! All that time you spent to f*ck up. Hope Clarkson & Hammond were watching! The laughing Hyenas 😜😂
The pandemic is faked
Highly Qualified, Easy Speakin' Immunology Professor tells you why you are afraid of Covid and (more importantly) why you shouldn't be... brandnewtube.com/watch/livestream-with-prof-dolores-cahill_kZPATMoFv6XcbD8.html
you can literally hear the brake pad rubbing the wheel even when he isnt braking
Was I the one thinking that the bike was broken the whole time due to the cracking noises but ended up realising that he was just changing gears?
Now send it James!!!!
Жалко что не на русском. Куда делись все переводчики !?(( Спасибо Джеймс за видосики
We wanna see James and motorbikes
I think feeling the tyre with your fingers when you pump it up takes us all back to our childhood, when all we had was those cheap $10 K-Mart pumps and that habit will stay with us all our lives.
TONIGHT... James discovers that front derailleurs are always annoying to work on!
Can we have a garage tour
Charlie’s probably too old for it now.
well done!
does somebody know which car is under the white blanket?
James May for PM !
I really like the tempo...
Next james may We have Bicycle vs *complete silence* *BICYCLE*
Now can i have it ?
I hope you’ve fixed those brakes properly, in the last video they looked to be dragging a touch. It would be like riding around dragging a dead dog with the brakes stuck on that much ! Come on May get it right 👍
*coughs* James: Covid
