Don't Make The Mistakes This Shop Owner Makes On This Vintage BMX!

[@ridzwansabtu3918]

My 70s touring bike had that same dia-comp caliper... truly nostalgic & beautiful

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

The fluted seat post started showing up everywhere in about 1979. It was a very affordable upgrade that you could use in the secondary color that you were likely basing the look on. Gold, blue and red were the most widely available.

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

No

[@stuwest5862]

The fact it was a cheap upgrade and new design made them popular. I don't like them because they let water into the frame.

[@randydube1423]

Redline at first wasn't really a BMX brand. They just made really dope frames for Honda dirt bikes in the 70's and then expanded into BMX.

[@chancecsmith]

Never seen that trick with seat guts. Hella clean.

[@lawrwncemitchell9955]

Me either wish I knew that when I rode BMX, looks way better not seeing the guts 👍💯

[@matthewradwanski7287]

Love this build. Reminds me of my 83 Goose. I would have went with the ODI mushroom grips on this one.

[@Younghead]

@Phu How you doing, just for future reference Redline’s history is that they started of as a Motorcycle Company. And Redline B.M.X. bikes were the first to do square rear chain stays, I think they took the idea from their Motorcycle’s. The cool thing is, that most of the early B.M.X companies all brought something original to the industry in regards of a design that was worth while doing.

[@primopowers]

I agree with you. Am'e grips and Old School Dia Comp break lever. This is one of my holy grails. I built up a Torker back in the day and almost bought Cook Bros forks for it but the bike shop owner convinced me to get Torker forks. I still got it and ride it. My other holy grail would be a GJS, Patterson and JMC

[@MrCeez1]

I had a 1978 team murray, that bike took me wherever I needed to go and had a blast. The cool bikes were the Mongoose, Diamondback and Redlines. A few months ago I came across a 1981 Mongoose Supergoose frame. Thats going to be a cool build. Keep them videos coming. Thanks

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯🙏🏼

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

After you munched those calipers and that seat I’d still take my bike to your shop because you be the Phu-Dawg.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Hellya!

[@markburns2545]

Now then sir, that's what I'm talking about...pure chrome, and 40 spoke wheels....proper decent one....hey, the bars, bit of old school 🏫....strips of sandpaper, around the headstock....that's how you do it back in the day...(old speedway trick)....I was fortunate enough to have these bikes, still have a few now.....massive respect 🙏. Keep doin what you do...

[@skizik6462]

I don't even want to know how much that bikes worth but holy graily cow that's a gem! That's the kind of bike that a celebrity should own and probably too expensive to be ridden. Nice work Phu

[@ashpunting]

simplicity is the best way to build a bmx and the bike looks great and thanks to you Alfredo another good video and a lesson from the book of Pho 😊😅👍🏾

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Thank you kind sir!

[@shredderdan2850]

This is cool. I had a haro freestyler from 86 I think and my friend refurbished it and it’s looking brand new however I still ride it around, I love it. Really liking the bike builds guys 🤟

[@bigjobby7115]

i have allways bolted everything the way Phu is doing it the man is spot on with building

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯💯

[@Garillaz808]

Best build so far cook bros are a classic during my teen years of 1977 thx for the show

[@VailSkateSupply1]

Redline was my first good bike. I’ve always been partial to the name.

[@RobertWilson-zc7el]

we need a you out here in bc to help give the knowledge to people the right way .....keep it up I watch your channel all the time, and how can i find out what year my redline is,i am told its 1978 but it's hard to get parts for to keep original

[@tnerbsg8134]

Been racing 20 years... I've always rode a Proline.

[@chele-chele]

I sported a D&G frameset with Tuff wheels back in the day, bulletproof combo. pro-tip, use brake cleaner on grip installs, really makes em grip once it evaporated... Chonclas, look out for mama, their deadly when armed with the flop LOL... Sweet build

[@cucolopez1942]

Ive always used hairspray for my grips, old school dirtbiker taught me that 🙏

[@GTRedRideR]

This was my bike as a Kid. Exactly the same colors...Great memories 👊🔥🔥🔥🔥🤚🤙

[@tonyengland9744]

Master mechanic. Super star. Love tour programs.

[@rhondakaradunis4894]

That seat trick is sick

[@anthony7184]

Love the vintage builds! Miss my Robinson from the 90's!

[@jakjohn672]

Alf is right tho redline is the name that made me fall in love w bmx bikes

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯👊🏻

[@carbonfibercreationswashin7213]

DG, PK Ripper, Free Agent Limo....the coolest names in bmx

[@kevinbreckenridge6729]

Glad you learned about grips and WD 40....finally! Also, that bike is Sweet!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

👊🏻

[@Patrick_Andrews917]

"Spend a little time and do it right" is probably the best advice you could ever give. Always love to hear someone say that because not enough people do. My favorite BMX name besides Profile and Phu would probably have to be Stolen. Can you imagine the amount of confusion that brands' name has probably caused over the years? 😂

[@waltervandervis7494]

Cooks bros were and are great bikes.

[@jellis7042]

You guys inspired me to rebuild my late 80's GT

[@mikeneumann4660]

I like the bike especially the seat post really takes me back, great job.

[@Sanus180]

Bike looked clean AF…. I’d prefer shimano dx pedals And I would have had red and chrome as my choice but the blue looks good too

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯

[@Junior-fd8ux]

Sick build

[@AlfredoMancuso]

👊🏻

[@kilianroa5105]

Hermosa bike, ojalá pronto le puedan poner una silla acorde a su época, excelente trabajo, saludos desde Colombia!!

[@RaulGonzalez-vc5ds]

Your right! Some mx brakes! And tufneck center sprocket!

[@CuzzinCoo]

🥶 I would have went with some darker blue grips. Dope build! 🥶

[@RaulGonzalez-vc5ds]

Your always right!

[@signal_rr]

Favorite brand names, Elf, Alliance, Terrible 1

[@ClayKirby-sj3zy]

Yeah in 1981 that was my first upgrade . I think mine was gold

[@matthewroot1606]

Goosebumps ! Yup

[@AlfredoMancuso]

😮‍💨

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

Excellent video great build..i personally prefer the seat clamp the other way ...love the content..the bike is a collectors gem

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

The bike gods are smiling. I almost pee'd a little. I rode a cook bros frame in the early 90's. The back end was lighter than the front end fully built. So light for a steel frame.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@xbrianx1990]

Good bit of trivia that cook bros contributed to development of a threadless fork/ stem. What was the first bmx bikes to use them? Best BMX name ever has got to be Zeronine!

[@dannyruiz2011]

Bro my goosebumps are going crazy rn

[@eddiebruce2961]

Nice Phu!! Definitely a bike guy I'd like to meet!! You guys remind me of my living in the 808 days!!

[@shaunzimmerman661]

I go from the right side on the seat clap bolt as well cause one that don't have a nut and thread right in are that way!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Good point!

[@thenetwerx]

I had one very similar and wish I hung onto it! Those look like Red Line bars and not the Cook Bros. that I had. Also, you’re missing the chain tensioners. Cook Bros. were one of the first to put them on a BMX. Neither brake per or lever are correct IMO. DiaCompe MX 900 or 1000.

[@VailSkateSupply1]

I like the guts up in the seat. But you can get an extra two inches higher seat the other way.

[@93_industries]

Best bmx brand name either tall order or haro

[@Titan520]

Tsinelas the best!

[@frankortega9798]

You went to Chip Foose's place and didn't take us!!! That is LoW!!!! Cool bike name was FMF, make up what fits, Cooks bros was high end race stuff back then.

[@dennisd4452]

This is the same color as my Schwinn Predator from 1982. 🧨

[@AlfredoMancuso]

😍

[@chrisparker7815]

Favorite BMX names for me are Torker and S&M. Puch as a runner up..

[@darrennicholas860]

Also had my soma bmx in 79 had a lot of haters with my cooks bro racing

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯

[@garysansom8636]

Nice stuf...I would adjust the brake housing forward near the brakes..

[@alexanderkang7246]

I was thinking it the whole time. I wouldn't ride that one. . . Ever! So many OG parts!!!

[@traysonstesson294]

Phu... Love that bike, great job. Cook Bros = Icon. Watched your grip method video as well. Try isopropyl alcohol.

[@scottryan1505]

U guys rock love your video. U guys are fun informative and joy to watch

[@JorgeChavez-du5vm]

I'm working on a diamondback nitrus (which sounds cool because it also sounds car related), one of the 2002-2003 all aluminum silver one. The grips, brake, chain, cog, and rear hub gotta go but the rest is in pretty good shape.

[@AprilGiordano]

Bro sick build

[@johndef5075]

My original bmx was a CYC. My friend had a Mathews Monoshock. 1975-76.....

[@cfmechanic]

The bike is done very well. I'd prolly use different grips and sand the post.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Why sand the post? Haha

[@munnygawn9480]

Switch seat out to diamond pattern, double goose neck the stem with a blue top and put mushroom grips or blue dorcys on it. Cobra grips

[@larryruiz6448]

Beautiful build 🤙🏽

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯💯

[@hectorpinol7951]

That man$ vision is great! The build came out sexy, I would ride that around like a proud dad on top of a Cadillac.

[@271chrissy]

What a nice bike.

[@pauljames1978]

15:48 he needs a Dia-Compe Tech 3 MX brake Lever for that brake 👍🚲💨

[@matthubbard904]

Beautiful build phu I would also cruise that bike

[@AlfredoMancuso]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@ThePurePlayaz]

not 100% my style but i respect it.. looks sick

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Nice bike. I would have put a MX1000 rear brake and lever and Blue AME tri grips. Btw im 80k into my 87 gt pro freestyle tour,shes 80% done and i ride that thing everywhere. Alot cheaper to buy a pft at 6kish complete than to spend 10k building it. Gt 80's stamped parts prices are through the roof.

[@JoseFlores-rt5qq]

Torker and Hutch best bmx names

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Without a doubt! Haha

[@TuesdaysTurn]

DANG, now that's an extremely expensive bike. Wow!

[@elliottheckman8067]

My favorite Bmx company names are Mutiny And Terrible One

[@okanaganmedia]

Great Bike build. Awesome channel!

[@dannypenabmxracing]

Very clean, well done!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@MTB_DREAM]

A GOOD WATCH

[@AlfredoMancuso]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@shawnray270]

Skyway is the name that sounds coolest😂

[@alanr4263]

Sick.wow v bars Everything u keep pulling out it's wow wow wow nice bike love love the redline flights I had that seat posts on a p.l 20 redline I think it was just to lighten the bike as I know u know but it was all about having a light bike in those days I use to race. I always dug those Elf bikes Or Robinson. I do same as u with seatpost clamp they really upped they're game b.m.xparts If the owner is gonna ride this I think ur right should go for bigger bars. I watched video again u ever come across a sling shot Frame? The lines of the bike was soooo sick.

[@waltervandervis7494]

Red line frames were super light.

[@potaylor9992]

Another one, all nice and shiny

[@AlfredoMancuso]

🙏🏼👊🏻

[@PixelPainta]

I always thought Haro and Sky way sound cool 😎

[@dmartinloc]

Best video yet foo

[@AlfredoMancuso]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@lawrwncemitchell9955]

As far as cool names I would say -DIAMOND BACK, and actually my second decent BMX, was a Diamond Back Viper 😊 another company I'd say would be - LASER, for newer names I like CULT 😎

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯

[@dougiesbmx5276]

Love the vids bro. Hope to see you shred on your channel as well , take care man

[@tonypeters7504]

The cable housing on the rear brake is too long before it meets up with the center pull brake. Otherwise it turned out really amazing.

[@ChrisSmith-gt6lg]

If you put Redline flights on it, you might as well put CW pro bars on it. That's what I would have done. It's what I did in '86. And some pro class rims laced with stainless spokes to Cook bros sealed hubs. Blue bands to show color through the holes. Blue anodized Dia Compe MX-1000 brakes, or Odysseys.🙄

[@darrennicholas860]

I had that bike in 79

[@AlfredoMancuso]

🔥

[@gregbrownstead4771]

I'm a hutch guy always wanted a hutch when I was a youngster now I have 3 of them a 24 inch a hutch pro racer and hutch trick star

[@KiefStone420]

Favorite BMX name..... Torker

[@djft6944]

Hey Phu Don from Riverside. Definitely seat clamp inside the seat. I do that on all my rides. I noticed something doesn't the spider sit inside the chainwheel?

[@teddyr7901]

Man I wish I would have kept mine I had that BMX bike

[@Junior-fd8ux]

Wet sand and polish that stem. No chrome problems

[@AlfredoMancuso]

💯

[@mattdagostino868]

What's up fellas looking to get into restoring and reselling I used to build a lot of bicycles as a kid right now I'm buy Eyeing 2012 haro 200.2 and a 2001 specialized Fatboy hemi pro for under $250 each think I should do it

[@mgyabes1985]

LOVE THE CONTENT. KEEP IT UP

[@tonysheene6399]

Frame pads needed different brake lever needed and definitely a different seat needed

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

Great video. I have a question for ya. i used to bmx and use them as a cummuter also when i was 175 pounds and 25 years younger. as i want a big bmx do you think i should use a large 24 inch high end kids MTB, a smaller 26 incher ? i ask as I need a seatpost that is usable and no BMX's that i have ever seen had a big wide seat post .

[@yrmatesux2191]

I've got an original Kawahara e.t signature model bmx. Red and white.
