It doesn't ring a bell. Did the end of that video come after a descent from dam on the right? If so, the stream that stopped me seem to be completely absent.
No dam this way in but if you follow those riverbeds that I roll through west, there is a dam, although no water currently. Maybe you entered the park over there. That street I started out on is Jamboree. If I had followed it straight, it turns right into Irvine Heritage Park.
I parked in the shopping center on Jamboree/Chapman then entered the park, generally staying on the west-most trail passing the cemetery on the left then the dam on the right. Maybe I didn't turn east early enough.
I ride a Cannondale that I've had since 1998, it's seen quite a few transformations since then. It started out as a rigid bike, but there was a local trail that I used to get around the city so I stuck a Rock Shox on it. I put about 12,000 miles on the bike over the course of two years and then I got a car, so I didn't use it as transportation anymore.
The bike sat for 12 years until I had the inclination to start cycle-commuting to work, so I pulled it out of the garage with the intent on riding it. Well, I put weight on the shock after airing the tires up and it collapsed, so I pulled the headset apart and re-fitted my original rigid fork on there. I rode it for several months, replacing some of the ancient parts that broke and now only the frame, fork, headset, and handlebars + stem are original. It sports slick tires on it and it's a crazy commuter bike, albeit a bit geared down.
I got that bike all nice again, just in time for my office to move out of the city and now I don't have the opportunity to commute on it.

Well, this is the newest picture I have uploaded anywhere. I put new shifter/brake lever assemblies, a new crankset, and slick tires added on to it since the picture was taken.
So I built this up a few weeks ago ... really dig it. This is my second On-One frame with-in the past year. IMO ... for the $$ you really can't go to wrong with On-One frames.
Although I'm super happy with the geometry and performance ...there are a couple things I'd do differently in regards to this Inbred SS design ... the sliding dropouts are a bit too short, especially for a single speed specific frame. I had issues setting it up with my 20t freewheel hub in conjunction with the chain tugs. I ended up having to square off the inside end of the slider with a file so I could have enough space to install the chain tugs. There isn't enough slider length to use half-links with chain tugs either. Another thing is, the frame bosses for the rear brake cable run down the downtube ... which eats up an additional 4" of cable length. Even though it's a 16" frame, this made me have to run my cable through the frame, instead of around the headtube.
... but hey, for the budget price of these frames ... a couple nitpicky issues are so well worth it!

You were right there. If you just head toward the park on Jamboree and the next light is the one in the video. Go through it and stay on the left side of the ride. There's the entrance right there.

Nice bike!!!. Love it.
Well, this is the newest picture I have uploaded anywhere. I put new shifter/brake lever assemblies, a new crankset, and slick tires added on to it since the picture was taken.
Nice, but WAY too clean. However, the cardinal sin here- aside from a cluttered background- is the non drive-side perspective. If you do get around to better ones, put it in the big ring, plop it up against a mostly blank wall and drop the right crank arm below horizontal, to reveal more frame/front derailleur.

Holy crap, your seat post is bent!
Nice build. Looks fun!
Gonna get one of these:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I'm currently running a 32T up front and an 11-36 cassette. 32/36 is low enough for most stuff but there are a few spots where a bigger cog would be useful. That's still harder than the lowest gear on a typical 2 or 3x10 setup for anyone who's going to call me a wimp.
Also, sending my RP23 to Colorado for a PUSH rebuild and factory tune.

Thanks guys!
@ Mark ... yup, factory bent.
I dig it! It's from around 2001 ... has a crazy amount of setback ... something like 60mm!!! And as one would guess; rather compliant.
It definitely gets a lot comments ... then again, how often does someone see a seatpost with about 2-inches of setback.

You gotta keep us informed on how the install goes ... I'm curious on how easy they set-up.
A bud has that 42t cog- hasn't had it long, I'll ask for his opinion. I may neuter(add gears to)my SS at some point in the not-too-distant future, so I am interested

some of us would call that "enhancement."

Yeah, that's a serious layback post. They used to be pretty common, don't see them so often these days.
Will do on the 42T. It's not going to ship until mid-march so that's not going to happen soon. Apparently dead easy to install and as long as your chain length is adjusted for the 42, you only need to adjust the B screw so that the top jockey wheel doesn't contact the cog.

Those of use with bad knees would definitely call that enhancement.
For my local trails, I'm fully bought into the 1x10 thing. I use my dropper post easily as much as I used the front mech and my bar is much less cluttered with shifter on the right and seatpost lever on the left. The only little quibble I had with 1x10 was that I could use a little easier gear than 32/36 but I didn't want to go less than 32 up front. This should solve it.
