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.

[@MachineOperatedBot]

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!

[@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

[@scottyB5950]

[@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.

[@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!

[@prabhdyalsingh4722]

Good job 👍

[@ChannelStonie]

Wow just wow, what a fantastic bike and workmanship.....

[@muhdmael]

what a satisfied restore

[@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.

[@ozenfant_ozn]

what a beautiful coating! perfect!

[@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!

[@mkkrt]

Looks beautiful...and heavy. Great job!

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

Video and restoration both of the highest quality! I was worried until the very end about those like & subscribe stickers, glad they are not visible anymore.

[@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.
