Incredible BMX Restoration! From Pile Of Trash to This!!

Yo guys! Thanks for blowing up my instagram ( / alfredomancuso ) with messages asking where the videos have been! Unfortunately KZbin demonetized the channel for 90 days, and really gated the views for the last few months. I finally got it all fixed hopefully, with your guys' support (LIKES, SHARES, and COMMENTS) we can get the viewership back up! With no more further adieu, In today's video EPIC BMX's ( / _epicbmx ) Phu Vu, Max Vu, Ethan Corriere, and Ricardo give us a thorough restoration on this 1979 Mongoose Team Edition Vintage & Super rare BMX Bike!

So stoked to be back 🎉😊

[@OH.A.M.]

We’re dreaming of Phu aren’t we? 🤘 You’re the only BMX that I enjoy watching. Don’t forget us.

[@holeeshietpyro4072]

thats actually pretty dope, almost like driving a vintage car right out the barn with a few new shiny parts

[@victorhalada5800]

If I’m not mistaken I think a lot of OG Mongoose frames were Nickel… if it were mine I’d hit it with a grey Scotch Bright rotary wheel to remove the existing finish then a purple one by hand… lightly sand then Rattle can it satin clear so it won’t oxidize… Taking care as NOT to disturb the OG stickers… That Goose is Killer!!! Nice job fellas bringing that girl back to life!!! BTW let Phu know we were STOKED on Pho Lu!!! The Dishes he suggested were BOMB!!!🤣🤙🏽

[@maxpaul11]

These videos will make you famous brother! Keep up the good work! You know so much about these bikes!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

thanks my man!!

[@radkesrods1184]

[@ripbrutus]

Love how yall kept it OG with all the patina and parts I'm currently doing a 84 californian like that trying to keep as much OG as possible with the exception of new rubber and a chain it's gonna be dope!

[@adhaetjamn]

I love Max's spoke sanding custom tool! I will add that to my toolkit next old school bike I rebuild.

[@timjohnson943]

Phu, Alfredo, Max- Thank you, and always appreciate the hard work put in y all of you and yours. Hope all are well, and again much thanks.

[@robertlund5694]

Legit survivor, much cooler than rework/refinish. 🎉

[@johnnylightning5633]

PB Blaster Bro. spray an let soak that seatpost=will slide out after 12hour soak. And awesome quick rebuild.

[@chrislong8013]

I’ve missed y’all!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

miss you too

[@uncleKai_SWW]

Still has life to continue those races where it’s older bikes.

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Nice comeback. Yea just ignore the 87 PFT at 13:10 also 🤣

[@franciscoesquer6569]

Nice job ,😊hi from Tijuana Mexico love you work

[@tony-td9gf]

Restored my bmx recently! And just started watching your vids ! ENJOY EM BRO KEEP IT UP ! STILL GOT EM VIEWERS!

[@robertfaulkner7777]

Try a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid in a spray bottle for freeing up the aluminum from steel. Might have to keep it soaking for a day or two but works good.

[@revvolutionz]

WOW! Where y’all been?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

in hiding

[@etsitua]

love the vise setup :)

[@DonoldMcPeterson]

Please grow a mullet Phu. Awesome video as always.

[@user-ke3jc7do6c]

Without Alf around Phu, Ethan, and Max killed it! I watched the whole vid and was entertained, thanks for the content guys!

[@cfmechanic]

Stoked to see a new video. Thanks team. Love the raw video and tips

[@michaelwhite9288]

I think it’s cool like it is. Has new life and functional. Just ride it!

[@vmtcmt]

I had that exact bike, bought brand new. Suede covered Kashimax seat, Shimano Tourney brakes, Mongoose SS bars, snake belly tires, MKS pedals. I put the Dura Ace cranks on my road bike, and put on one piece Takagi MX cranks with a gold Mongoose spider, off a Supergoose. That blue "candy apple" coating started peeling off almost immediately. I ended up removing it all together, and polishing the nickel and putting on Supergoose decals. Sooo sorry I ever sold it.

[@maxpaul11]

Awesome video! Heck yeah! Restoration in progress!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

love to hear that!

[@491Mystic]

Well done.

[@tobius.maxilla]

Another great video! Thanks for filming this build even without Alf. You did a great job!

[@fetusmccarlane9627]

A nice sympathetic rustoration.. it can only be original once , and that's a great happy medium

[@OZNIN]

Thank you guys, currently building a bmx for my daughter.

[@eddiebruce2961]

Great job Phu,except for seatpost!!

[@ejsinner1520]

Love the patina. Be proud of the age. And that Integra was cleeeaan.😂

[@petulantfrenzy5532]

You need an induction heater to loosen seized hardware. Its so worth the price.

[@tamiyafrog3220]

Your awesome phu great personality, makes the videos fun to watch.

[@Sanchez4201]

Watched one video and got inspired. Now I got a torn apart bike in the back. Need to find a place to paint mine.

[@719Rasta]

Nice I built a custom 1978 motomag mongoose . I mixed old and mid skool parts . These old mongoose frames were cool. I’ve had maybe 6 of them in my life. Bless up bro, great vids , great shop, bmx for life . I’m 51 and yes I sometimes ride my 78

I miss the video epic bmx & phu crew 👌👌👌 give an idea to restore & give idea to repair any. Bmx .im a bmx rider from philippines.❤

[@HighhScore]

Ever since I saw the our bmx Trey Jones bike check, I’ve been wanting to let a frame get patina’d out and build it up with fresh parts. I just can’t do that to my fly bikes Tierra v4

[@littleandre4957]

Almost looks like the first BMX i rode (the new blue one that it).

[@coreymckenzie8945]

That bike looked like mine but I only had a frame so I powder coated it before I started finding parts to restomod it .

[@carlosochoa9388]

That is one nice looking Toyota

[@ashpunting]

I like the build guys I would just wax the frame to finish it off 👍🏽❤

[@jessiedamon676]

good

[@ceehads]

The frame looks cool. Maybe less desirable for some scumbag to steal too 😆

[@centralnetwork]

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

Would that part for the bottom bracket be called a bearing race?maybe try to slip a stem on a stuck seat post then use a cheater pipe for leverage to turn it to break it loose

[@areyouserious3092]

Not surprised at all buddie i mean you are a bike shop and if you did have trouble getting a very basic 80s bike rolling again id definitely have questions.

[@robertlund5694]

How would you ask ?

I would rather have a bike that rides 10/10 and looks 1/10 than a bike that looks 10/10 but rides 1/10...

Cost $389 + tax = Not worth it for basically not improving it.
