Has anyone ever made a video of their self-build, from start to finish?

I've started making one for my Mezzo build as I thought it might be of interest to people who never done a self-build/conversion before and wondered what's involved. The only part I won't be able to show is the wheel build (probably the most interesting for some people) but maybe I can persuade Catsnapper to give away some of his trade secrets and show us how it's done so I can include that bit ;-) Perhaps I'll send him one of my many cameras if he doesn't have one and is willing.

Jackhandy: are you going to do a video of your test ride now your build is nearing completion, that would be neat!

I'll hitch up the wattmeter & camera when I take the bike up over the Stinker test route; hopefully later today if the weather holds fair.

I'd be very dubious about taking this one out in the wet before doing some serious weatherproofing - Everything looks rather exposed as it is.

As to making a video of a build..... Not me - It'd take longer to edit out all the Robust Expressions than doing the build! The logging camera should be far enough away from my face on a test ride for any Anglo Saxon to be masked by wind noise.... Partickly as it's near my backside :eek:
