Rusted 1970's Vintage Bike Restoration

[@R6Squad]

I don't think I've seen anyone else on KZbin go all out on these restorations. This was so satisfying to watch!

[@fidelcaspro9984]

satisfaying indeed. no better word to discribe this video

That last shot should have been outside in the sun ! :D very nice work !

[@josesegura2090]

And to think people get rid of them simply because they are old! That paint job! Actually the whole restoration, masterfully done! Congratulations! Thank you!

[@caminstol2473]

this is all speculation, but i think it's more economical to just recycle all the parts and buy a new bike. the only reason someone would or should do this is for sentimentality

[@steeljan]

In my retirement community, I fix up old adult trikes and give them away. We have a group that rides together for fun & exercise. I don't do nearly the work on them that you do, but I can sure appreciate what hard work goes into it. Thanks.

man, I hate videos like this - after watching it I literally started looking up compressors and powder guns lmao awesome work on the bike and video, cheers!

Fascinated watching you take apart & put back together !

[@johnnyabatti7342]

I always wanted to convert my 8-speed hub to a derailleur system. I was researching for months if this kind of derailleur hanger even exists. The guys in my local Bike shops told me that there is no way to do that but apparently there is! After I saw your video and the derailleur hanger you used, I bought one and I'm finally going to convert my bike, so thank you so much! Greetings from Germany!

How did it go?

sorry 0:42 before was not bad.. except tire.. 8:16 lovely original blue paint, decal has gone TT relax restoration plz. thank you

[@dobosbence1202]

The original color was way better.

[@DancerOfClouds]

What a beautiful restoration. I am so tired of Rust-er-ations. This bike is better than new. Awesome job and a pleasure to watch

[@BuildaBetterBike]

Thanks. But what is a Rust-er-ation?

[@MarcABrown-tt1fp]

@@BuildaBetterBike I assume its a functional "restoration" rather than going all out with a full restoration. I've seen a bike like that and it didn't last long sadly due to lack of metal protection.

[@ihsanayyasy6036]

You do a real restoration, unlike most others (including me) that restore it with modern bike parts, kudos sir!!

[@ericthompson7436]

You have inspired me to restore my Rocky Mountain Pipeline from 1998, keep up the videos man

I want those pink grips so bad. Awesome restoration

[@polthedestroyer]

There's a split second audio where you're hammering and there's a person laughing or shouting in the background and it sounds together like you are hammering someone who is screaming. I LOLed! I needed to bring it up. My broken brain wouldn't let it go. Love the channel.

[@TheDeafNomad.]

I'm in the process of restoring a 30-year-old Specialized mtb. Thank you for this. It was extremely helpful!

[@BuildaBetterBike]

Cool! Are you posting your progress anywhere?

holy cow - this is not bike restoration. this is an artist creating something new

[@LennieNelson55]

I like these videos a lot, especially because you're taking in beat up and discarded bikes. Also your music sounds really good and reminds me of Yo La Tengo!

[@darekkowalski2658]

Amazing job! What a crazy cotter pin that was. Paint amazing. Wow. 👌👌👌

[@radulacatusu4154]

I love those old bottom brackets and hubs. So simple. Awesome!

[@goreil2489]

That’s a beautiful bike sir, bravo

[@ProbablySteven]

These are some wonderful, chill videos with beautiful end results. Good job.

[@gblan]

The paint was just beautiful. I took a very similar frameset from the 70's, powder coated it gloss metallic black, and built it up with more modern components. Still my favorite bike of the many I've owned.

[@frog4770]

The paint is mezmerizing

[@theodoregriffiths3356]

Great restoration! One comment I’d make is that I think one of the cotter pins was in the wrong way around which is why the crank arms weren’t 180 degrees. Easy mistake to make as I’ve worked on a lot of cottered bikes. Love the cotter press, really want one but can’t justify it right now.

[@frog4770]

Love the chill music too very good choice

[@scottyB5950]

[@MStannerz]

Hay Andrew Loving the new channel. I really liked youre idea of sand blasting through the stencil, shame id didnt work out. Could you try getting some metal acid etching liquid or alternatively try electro etching. I think you can do it cheaply with a salt water Q-tip a 9v batter and some alligator clips.

[@sbaddison]

Lovely job.

[@snaXaminator]

Great video. Two things to mention: 1. Never thought that Positron cables are still produced/sold (it's such an old technology), so at the beginning of the video i was shocked when you cut the old cables 2. The new grips are mounted a bit incorrectly. Those "finger ridges" should be positioned downwards, because in this direction would be unconfortable.

[@Borders14]

Dude, at 0:00:55.... Never draw a razor blade towards yourself. Dangerous. Voice of experience. Nice vid and results on bike.

[@JavierGonzalez-oe1qq]

That was just about the nice bike build I've ever seen on KZbin. Nice job man...I wish I HAD A SHOP LIKE HIS LOL...he's got everything and it's a private space. You should see my shop, crap everywhere! lol

[@ovash1]

Awesome video and an incredible job. If the bike had been mine, I would have kept the original paint job, so 70's. I grew up in the 70's, so I miss those days, not disco, but just about everything else. Great bike, fantastic job.

[@kanONE1984]

Awesome work. I enjoyed every second of the video. just the crank needs to be alligned still. Therefore the bolt has to be inserted on the other side on the crank.

[@jaimegomezgarcia7599]

So beautiful job! Amazing.

[@davidgutierrez6312]

Nice! Congratulations. I love bikes too.

[@stefannewels1823]

Good job 😎 One suggestion.. The front brake is awfully bend, always happens when the bike was treated badly and the front wheel was turned backwards and the brake slams into the frame . You could disassemble the brake and straighten the brake arms pretty easy. Very nice paintjob. A little glitter is always sparkling our lives up ✨ Keep on rolling buddy 👍⚙

[@BuildaBetterBike]

I appreciate the tips! Didn't even notice the bend.

[@FettFotze]

@@BuildaBetterBike I thought you put the calipers on back to front leaving one to far back and the other forward. But I wasn't going to say anything because you'd made such great work of the resto, can you imagine having that bike looking like it does now in the seventies, minds would have been blown :)

[@richardtaylor9798]

Very impressive on a true restoration! It seems as though other restoration videos disassemble the bike, paint the frame and reassemble with all new parts. Maybe I miss seeing the complete condition of the parts but I have a hard time believing EVERYTHING needs to be replaced when just a going over with 0000 steel wool would do the trick. I did like the fact that the frame was powder coated since it is much more durable than paint.
