They were good bikes to have in the early 2000s they were cheaper and were everywhere ive had alot of nice bikes when i was younger but these days i jus don't see myself paying 400$ for a 26inch composite xc bike

please service the suspension. I love your videos, but when you ignoring the suspension servise, like here or on Ellsworth Truth, it feels like an unfinisched job, cosmetics not a repair or restoration. this Fox can be saved if you will reduce the travel and do a full service on it. Love you anyways!

Simplesmente magnifico😂

i sent my builds to you on Instagram :)

Another thing they don't want you to know is a good steel frame can last a lifetime. I'm riding a 23 year old 853 Reynolds roadbike with mostly original parts that rides like a dream. Shimano Ultegra, Mavic wheels. I've ridden this bike since it was new and have never had problems with it. My aluminum and carbon bikes have all broken.

Tops

Please restore a old HeadShok Cannondale from the 90's or so. I don't remember you doing one yet. They were nice bikes back then and deserve to be restored

Bummer. I thought my bike had a good chance of getting featured. I need to up my game on my next build.

Thank you for showing my Zaskar. Love seeing everyone’s bikes! It’s great to see exquisite builds out there, both from KZbinrs and everyone else. I’m really looking forward to seeing more!

As soon as I saw a Kona I already knew what your choice was going to be.😂 I love the vintage Konas also. This was a fun video to watch and a nice change up from the normal builds you do. 👍

I'm just here to giggle every time this Canadian says "sorry" 😂

Thanks for presentin my daughters 1987 Lotus International restomod bike.

The Kona was the right choice

I already submitted my photo for the next one… my yellow Mrazek restomod

Well I guess my submission didn’t end up in the final video oh well, worth a shot from my end!! Just a video idea @ oldshovel why not a video like this one but for the next one some drop bar modern road bike submission and take some from this one as well?!

Ouh man, this is amazing !

My most liked and watced yt page lol I would love to have one of these hats!! Can we purchase them? Would love to support!!

Thanks for featuring my Kona. It's an honour.

Great submissions,all! The Hardrock and Kona stand out for me.

Respect to the Paul Brodie shout out. From his book and KZbin channel, Paul built the original kona frames. I’m not sure how much design Joe Murray did once they were no longer made by Paul and badged by Joe? My old 95 Rocky Mountain blizzard had the same style of steel frame. That was long after Paul left Rocky Mountain. Had I known his story then I would have purchased a Brodie. Although I loved that blizzard with all made in Canada race face parts!

Great bikes, love building bikes.

Thanks for featuring my Hard Rock.

I live in Los Angeles and have often looked at high end bikes, but then I start worrying that it will get stolen or that someone will knock me off the bike and just take it! My 20 yr old schwinn mountain bike will do just fine!

Darn it, I completely forgot to take some pics of my restomod to send to you.

Super Fun! Just submitted mine

That Kona is sick. After watching on old shovel video on Kona I got interested in them and bought one. It’s built similarly and this makes me want to paint it.

You strat talking more than working......We don't like that. Be like before the silence talk more.

I dont know how you could choose between them. Thanks for another great video, for an awesome show

❤bike e vida 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

There all lovely bikes❤❤❤

Nice to have your vidéo with no french voix off over

Nice to have your vidéo with no french voix off over

We don't get shops like this over here I wish we could id be in there al day ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

I liked that $10 Univega at the thrift store. I would have grabbed it for a project.

Music was unbearable

Good video, I think the only real issue is that some of those older bikes may seem perfectly good but many have components that you cannot replace, parts are not available anymore, they have compatibility issues, the repairs themselves become a can of worms as you find more and more things wrong with them and the cost goes up and up. Some older bikes with suspension from the early 90's I would not even trust to ride at this point. Many materials fatigue and corrode and are not safe. There's still some gems out there that are a good price to pick up and ride, you just have to really check them over.

I hope I win for my service in my work Pllss I want him so much

Will you have a video this year to add to this compilation?

9:32 a disc in the front and a v brake in the back is retro now.

As an aside... is that an Aran sweater?

Instead of reviewing for my finals I'm out here watching this lmao. What a way to set the mood up!

Feliz Natal, from Brazil

Your truly awsome doing that for people you can see they really appreciate it👍 Merry Christmas to you and have a great 2025

This might be one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever seen.

Wow! I’d love to give away bikes and bring joy. Maybe one day I can be in a position to give and bring happiness

Overbiking. Yeah so true

youre awesome man. Your restoring the bikes and giving them out for xmas is an awesome project. Been watching your channel since years. YOurs and Paul Brodies channel are amongst the best ones ever.

Feliz Natal amigo😂❤

Wish I had something like this in north eastern Massachusetts.

I asked about this type of behind the scenes video and here it is. Nope sure I had any influence but this was awesome! Well done.
