American Gravel with a Broken Frame – Chumba Terlingua Gravel Bike



I bought a broken Chumba steel gravel bike frame on eBay. That’s the only way I could afford to buy one. In this video, I repair a cracked bottom bracket shell and cracked carbon fiber fork on a High End Chumba Terlingua gravel bike frame. Then I build it into my ultimate bike. It turns out great and I have fun too. Hope you enjoy.

  1. One of the greatest Videos I have ever seen! The creative handcraft and also the cinematic… The only thing I missed in the video was how you repaired the broken shifting lever? I really love your videos, I think you really found a niche in the big amount of bike mechanic videos in youtube, the only thing missing is the attention of a lot more well deserved subscribers!

  2. Great video! So much attention to details. With that much filler you could repair a whole car :), By the way I own two NSU MAX, as you repaired before., great bike!

  3. Keep it up man, good video and story telling and of course the built 🙌🏾 best luck greetings from Bali 🤜🏾

  4. This is a fantastic looking bike — the sliding dropout reminds me of the All-City Super Professional.

    Congratulations on a phenomenally well done job!

  5. Love that you can just repair a steel frame without much fuss. Been enjoying my Terlingua for a number of years now!

  6. This is why steel is real…,and let’s not forget, metal recycles forever. Love to hear a response from a Carbon Bunny about how good there frame is for the beautiful environment they want there grand children to ride in…
    Love the ‘save’, a bike with real characteristics that will always put a smile upon your face. Awesome project. Bravo.

  7. Just found your channel from your most recent vid. These are awesomely produced vids. Was always thinking there should be more bike content with a focus on fabrication. Good on ya, keep em comming (im getting to the vids without bikes, lol). if you ever need some cnc work done send a feeler my way!

  8. Cool my friend.. a lot of frames in good condition and also very good quality it can be rebuilt custom .. what a cool that you have so much knowledge.. I would like to be your apprentice. 😅 .. good luck and very good reference to try to replicate.
