A review and instruction in converting a mountain bike to a road bike. Review of the Bikes Direct Dawes Haymaker 1000. Then I use this bike for an example of how to set up a heavy duty road bike. Tips on riding a heavy road bike.

Does the Dawes brand from Bikesdirect have anything at all to do with the original British brand? As I understand it, Bikesdirect (or whatever parent company) has bought the rights to the brand (and a number of others) in the US market, but that's all. Dawes of Birmingham, UK, is still in business, but their logo and products are entirely different, and I don't think they've designed your bike.

Been watching your videos for years martin and i enjoy all your cycling orientated videos, i have to say this but you seem like a bloody decent guy and very talented too, I'd like to have a buddy like you to go riding with although i suspect you may like riding alone, please keep the videos coming and Merry Christmas from Australia

What happened to your Windsor MTB? What are the differences between using the MTB for the road or a hybrid?

Happy Holidays, Funnzie ! Thanks for another interesting video. the adventure bike video motivated me to take a greater interest and enjoyment in a hybrid I had ignored in favor of my road bike. The hybrid has 700c wheels with 35mm tires, triple crank x 7 flywheel. I added butterfly handlebars and I love riding it on long (30+ miles) casual rides. Flat terrain in Miami. Butterfly handlebars were a great change from the original flat bar. One day I'll try the aero bars. Looking forward to 2017. Thanks

I converted a mountain bike over to a road bike which I use for commuting. The forks were replaced with carbon fibre fork.. I upgraded the BB5's to BB7's. I added a set of plastic fenders. The tires were replaced by a set of 26" slicks. And I replaced the seat with a Brooks B-17.

Love that music, reminds me of the Blade Runner soundtrack.

I don't know why often these bikes have divided cables mounted to upper frame like that, because water can easily access rear sections. On my two bikes these cables got seized for this very reason.
