That's awesome that a kid gets to try something new as far as a sport. I remember 30 years ago when I was a kid I always wanted the best and the flashiest in the newest. I can just imagine what it's like nowadays with kids whose parents spend $5,000 for a bike, and the other kids who have a beginner bike. Teenage years are so difficult. I hope this young man does extremely well on that bike. Good luck to him!

[@armandocardenas6094]

If I lived nearby , I'd volunteer with you on those builds and I'd bring my own lemon iced tea and tools .

[@MumfordJim]

Your rebuild for this kid is Fantastic. I’m sure he will appreciate a bike that is the correct size for him. Looked like at least a 10 speed and a very nice derailleur. Very special.

[@robalexander7348]

Well done Rob, the young boy will love it 👍 Au

[@rexdouglas4874]

Thank You! It’s nice to see people willing to share their time for others.

[@denis_roy_7]

Merci!

[@oldshovel]

Thank you my friend

[@denis_roy_7]

@@oldshovel What you did is commendable. I applaud that and try to do the same. Be well!

[@MaciejZacher]

Beautiful build! Well done! 🎉

[@NonLegitNation2]

Nice, i think he'll love it. The only thing I would have changed is the pedals. I'd have given him some nice grippy and inexpensive fooker pedals which are basically Race Face Chester clones. Every young mountain biker needs to experience their first bloody shin from pinned platform pedals lol.

[@petecurran3995]

Ace effort - hope the youngster makes the progress he deserves! 👌🏻

[@daledubose3032]

I love our NICA team.

[@wanida511]

It is always bike season.

[@bendekker6552]

Thanks for the video and inspiration. I'm fixing bikes for friends semi frequently lately and this video is perfect motivation.

[@elrinconderoller1560]

Aluminum 7005...frame for life!!

[@RFVCXR200R]

That's a beautiful color!

[@williampaterson1706]

Good man keep at it 🎉

[@informationgames]

This feels like the Platonic ideal of an @oldshovel video. Old things are given new life. Something is donated. Lives are made better. There is an underlying value of knowledge and care being used to create something more useful than could be acquired simply by throwing money at the problem. This young racer is going to have a bike that is set up for his body, the hydraulic brakes and 1x drivetrain will help him learn to race, and hopefully he'll carry a sense of the community coming together to help that lasts into his adulthood.

[@oldshovel]

We’ll said. Thank you my friend.

[@robertbonner7469]

More kids on bikes 👍

[@BartleyNorman]

Great stuff! 4'11" should be using 145mm cranks. :)

[@SKSvlog8691]

😊😊😊😊

[@daledubose3032]

I need that Park Bike brake disk spreader and that cable end crimper please. Thanks.

[@oldshovel]

They’re both awesome

[@diveaddict6885]

Nice job the kid will be shredding better. How come you never put Hope brakes on any of your builds?

[@leonardkiangi8538]

It's awesome build but don't like the short stem

[@wesleywermuth9545]

Super awesome

[@mitchellblair8888]

Awesome!

[@ALONSOSRC]

great video

[@TheEddietello70]

What!!!??? No bike reveal? Great job though

[@philiprayner]

do they make a step through version of this bike

[@cityproofdad]

im sure when that kid watched other videos of yours had high expectation fresh pain refresh compponents etc and then this happen

[@philiprayner]

sorry video changed while I was typing

[@solarheat9016]

That one by does not have enough range.

[@Ollie140]

Why don't you have an ultrasonic cleaner. You could save so much more time and have a cleaner result.

[@bmx08]

Love asmr

[@jamieeedden777]

Just got my self another raeligh but a Bmx it's called a burner 20 Street style in black would you know what year it could possibly be any advise would be appreciated thanks

[@jj358mhz]

Hi @oldshovel. Have you ever considered getting into voiceover / narration work on television? You have a cool, calm voice with a great cadence that would lend itself well to outdoor, nature type programs.

[@oldshovel]

I never considered it until I started getting comments like yours. You are kind, thank you. I would love to do voice over nature program stuff. 🙌😁

[@Donovangulya]

You really are a special man Rob. Always helping people out in community with your skills and KZbin platform. This must have meant a lot to that kid.

[@renemarquez2548]

This is a great video. And I'm double excited because I have a Raleigh just like that which my 12yo daughter rides.

[@CSIPSD]

Picking up an another old mountain bike on the way home today to use the parts on my 9 year olds Proflex 856 mountain bike I'm building for him.

[@geniotnt4523]

The most important thing to make the bicycle operational is to disassemble and grease the sealed cartridge

[@martinwakawaka5265]

That's bikerecycling at it's best

[@jasoncostanzo5337]

At 12:21, it looks like the brake line ran through the spokes. 😉 Great build by the way.

[@iammarkstewart]

Took me a couple of watches to make sense of the lighting and shadows but yeah, I think you're right. A re-do that wasn't, haha.

[@masterecotech]

Having watched all your bike videos I've noticed you convert the vast majority of your mountain bikes to 1x drivetrains.. Will you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video on just that? Cover all the parts needed, where to source them, and how to overcome freehub and axle compatibility issues? I'm in the process of doing just that and having a real hard time getting all the components to work together- hub depth, hub to hub interface, chain line, crank arm spacing, etc. Keep up the great content, we'll still be watching either way😊

[@oldschooldude3500]

This is a good deed your doing for someone who wants to be involved in this great sport. Hope he enjoys this new season on the bike. It feels like sometimes this sport looses a part of caring. Either donating time, bikes or stopping to help a fellow rider that's got a maintenance problem on the trail. It's good to see something positive.

[@jeffreyd3352]

Getting good bikes in kids hands is where it is at. Pedal forward. Go OS!

[@nickmassey9104]

Great video great cause .well done Rob

[@michaelhughes3302]

Just you once again, showing the world what an absolute champ you are. As a fellow Canadian, you do yourself and us very proud. Cheers.
