Yikes! I couldn't watch you take an angle grinder to this lovely old bike. 😕

I joined the Mississauga cycling club in 1972, at age 12. Our president was a fine British gentleman named Eric Watson. He rode a racing orange Holdsworth, all Campagnolo except for the centre- pull brakes, which Eric had cuatomized by drilling a hole in his cinelli stem, and using the stem as a stopper for the front brake cable. I thought it was the coolest modification ever, and i did likewise with many road bikes since. Even doing the same trick with the seatpost. I just rode a 1979 Panasonic, with some modifications, on an 1800 km tour. No problems at all with the bike. I don't know why bikes have to be over-thought, over- designed and changed every year when the 70's bikes had everything figured out. It just comes down to geometry and type of tires. I wish more people knew how to keep the old, well made bikes restored and ready for the road. Nice job !

That's one thing about London everyone is in a Rush and getting no where

Another law breaking (unt on a bike.

I love the mudguard refurbishing but plastic mudguards is my preferred way to go.

Looks so fresh! Where did you get your decals from and which paint are you using!

Masterpiece! You put massive work in it. I am delighted during watching this art. And what It made to me? Now I want to restore at my own the same bike frame, how I would love it <3

What size Tyres did you use 700c.what

Only an idiot would convert a classic Mercier to fixed gear!

yo!

Getting some Terry B vibes here, I can dig it

Should have kept the badge

I was looking for a video EXACTLY like this! Man, just thank you! <3

Helps me to work on renovating my bike from my teenage years. A Youngs frame bought in 1963, ridden for tens of thousands of miles and raced over a ten year period then stored half a century. Gearing compared to today's bikes is laughable - 53/45 x 6 (12 to 21)... how the heck did I climb the hills of Kent, Surrey and Sussex?

Loved the actual renovation part. Covered a lot in a short space of time; very useful. In my opinion the ride part needs to be chopped down to two minutes or less. Very trusting to ride without a helmet on the roads.

3 times advertising. WTF??

Dude, awesome video. But wear a mask please when spray painting! And ventilate!

Campagnolo Athena Shifters work with Shimano 105 derailleur ? Good to know !

what a beauty

Weinmann brakes. Seriously!? Keeping this junk after putting so much effort into the rest of the bike? BTW, the paint looked better before.

Материал стоит дороже велосипеда. И вопрос:"А пескоструйной обработки нет у вас?":))

Does anyone know the BB dimensions on these??

Just beautiful fixie .perfect

Халтура. Лучше погреть и выпрямить. А шпакли и дурак наложит...

Sweet!

17:20 turned out amazing!

Perfect! It would be great if you could include the tools and parts you use in the descriptions!

what's gear ratio?

Thanks for doing this video. I am currently converting a 1970s HARRY QUIN. It was handy to see a modern cassette working on the rear axle. I had to stretch my stays to allow for the extra 5mm. I gritted my teeth and heaved a little. It worked without breaking anything. They were exceedingly hard to bend, even a tiny bit, which is rather comforting. I haven’t ordered the wheels yet, and still awaiting the paint.

Does the tube you inserted in the fork acts as a sim?

Thanks for the video! Nice resto. Ii have a question: What model/brand are those cable stoppers on the down tube? Thanks!

Que buena por Dios¡¡¡...muy buena¡¡¡...que Gravel mejor que las modernas¡¡¡...saludo.

Where did you get your decals?

Beautiful bike and build! 🚲 Thank You for sharing.

Amazing job!!!

Nice restoration bro! Just wanna ask, what size is that fork? I'm interested in building a classic fixie bike too and I don't really want to have such a huge clearance in my front if I build it.

Beautiful I love it cause I do have a 1985 also 52 ×12 fixed / stationary 27"×1" rims and tires please do have lots of fun thanks for sharing do have a pleasant day

Very! Nice work!!!, one solid bike.

Lovely bike,nice video

Another sick one 👌

Bike looks great. I think you did a great job!

I've only just seen this but I think it turned out an amazing bike... Love this restoration... Simply brilliant and wouldn't mind seeing more like this in the future 👍

I am surprised you can have that tyre clearance. Very nice fork dropouts, and I am digging the bars too. My only complaint is the combo MKS pedals/straps. There is nothing better if you want to ride your bike in the velodrome, but they're not practical on the road. Not to mention they completely destroy your shoes.

Nice lens or lights, idk 😂 really pleasing to watch

Very cool! Where’d you find those decals?

Fantastic!!!! Master craftsman at work. Watched it right to the end. I am working on a U08. Nice to know what can be done. Like how you set the front brake to go from the left handgrip directly to the brake and the rear brake from the right hand grip into the top tube then out to the rear brake. What shifters did you install? What cables did you use - brakes / gears? What seat is installed? Brake pads? Thanks

sweet asf

Estás direcciones se marcaban enseguida,una pena,cada poco había ke cambiarlas

SICK

Beautifully made!
