[@MonkeyShred]

Cheers bud! Appreciate you stopping by!

[@djkenny1202]

Just bought a rigid identical one in incredible shape, today!

[@MonkeyShred]

Awesome. Have fun with it!

[@tonypotter9578]

I had a ‘trek’ over to wales at the weekend to pickup a diamondback ascent, my new project!Nice video 👌

[@01FozzyS]

Welcome back,Mark! Been waiting for a build!! Nice Trek find.

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks. I’ve definitely got plenty more to come. I’ve actually been sitting on this footage since last year 😅

[@01FozzyS]

🤣

[@adrianherrell661]

Glad you're back , thanks. I can wait for quality vids. 👍

[@MonkeyShred]

Thank you!

[@richardwaterman2867]

In the middle of a 1990 Alpinestars restoration... this video was well timed. Your videos have been a huge inspiration for me over the years. Good to see a new one. Cheers Mark x

[@samblenkharn8099]

That's a lovely old bike, understated. I love those nineties splatter-paint jobs. Top effort with the cleaning - you could have grown spuds in the muck that came off those jockey wheels!

[@MonkeyShred]

Yeah it was pretty thick 😅 formed a couple of nice doughnuts picking it off.

[@abcdefgh-xf2th]

I bought one of these modified with a suspension fork, just for the parts as well (band on XT FD and Hite Rite).

[@MonkeyShred]

Ooo Hite Rite. Nice! Haven’t picked up one of those myself just yet.

[@madisondeans5566]

Man you have got the tools= passion is real!!

[@MonkeyShred]

I’ve been working on bikes for years now 😅 The tools soon build up

[@sandwichbar8226]

He's back! 🎉

[@MonkeyShred]

I guess so!

[@ToddNZMTB]

White splatter frame looks cool 👌🏻

[@MonkeyShred]

It would have looked even better fresh out the factory. It’s faded a bit over the years but was definitely still in great condition.

[@ToddNZMTB]

@@MonkeyShred it's got the _kitchen benchtop_ look ha ha

[@oheso]

It has been a long time! Welcome back! A beautiful bike and a great build. I hope you get at least cost plus on this.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Green decals on a black frame? Count me in! 🖤💚 Nice work! 🙌

[@jonmiller4330]

This was great. So happy to have a new vid.

[@MonkeyShred]

Thank you!

[@stephencrozier396]

It's been way to long! Good to see you back.

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks!

[@bigc7t]

You need to grab some grip edge rpt hex sockets for those stripped and stuck allen/ hex/ cap head bolts. Thanks for the video man.

[@MonkeyShred]

Ah it wasn’t too hard to remove with a bit of careful pressure.

[@gunnarkoss9262]

Nice Trek! 🎉 Do you still know the length of the bottom bracket?

[@MonkeyShred]

Hmmm - A MT60 crankset is usually something like 122.5mm axle length

[@Abandon7d]

Glad you are back :-) Missed your videos!

[@Emz_Jhaye]

New bike build video! 😎👍 Nice retro build!🤍

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks! Just a simple service really!

[@RichardVanMeter-j5x]

Very exciting and entertaining to watch I saw the video short and this popped up what's a nice thing for a rainy day I just got back from a ride before the rain started well I've got a few things to do to a bike I'm not really sure who it's for it would be impossible to make money off it perhaps I'll be gift a child I want to mention those are really nice tyres as well

[@MonkeyShred]

You came from a short? Well I guess that's proof they do work at getting attention for channels then!

[@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps]

Sweet. I noticed the rear brake bosses are screw-on? I have seen those only on old cannondales

[@007bigrob]

Nice job 👍

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks! I Appreciate it.

[@nickdavis9280]

Great video! Have missed your content. Good to see your still saving some nice bikes. Are you going to do another eroica type of event video? I still watch those old ones. Keep up the good work.

[@MonkeyShred]

Eroica is long since dead in the UK unfortunately. The last one I filmed was the last proper one I believe. The year after they started to collapse and only did a ride for 500 - Then I think it was excuses and Covid for a year or two - Goodwood bought the rights and upped the prices massively and no suprise - failed to make enough money (apparently) so cancelled it and haven't tried again.

[@murphyco88]

Good to see you nice simple build N.y in the house😎

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks 👍 Didn’t you guys get a small earthquake recently?

[@murphyco88]

@@MonkeyShred another fun 😎

[@loose.spokes]

its been awhile, thank you for your vids

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks for watching.

[@elrinconderoller1560]

I got the same bike, found on the trash 1 year ago, now im going to make a "rack" to carry my surfboard.

[@MonkeyShred]

That sounds cool! How’s that going to work? Do you have to build it off the side a bit so it clears your legs?

[@elrinconderoller1560]

@@MonkeyShred whit PVC pipes and pieces of aluminum, very easy ✌🏻

[@MNpicker]

Awesome stuff man!! Great video.. Its a win win👌

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks 👍

[@and6239]

Good stuff man!

[@MonkeyShred]

Appreciate it!

[@allanfoster6965]

Where have you been? Missed these vids, and the cat. 😊

[@arrbu147]

nice bike 👍

[@MonkeyShred]

Thanks. It was a good find.

[@시래캔]

What product did you use to wipe the frame with a towel?

[@MonkeyShred]

The towel is just a normal microfibre cloth.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

blimey - what happened to that freehub?

[@MonkeyShred]

Just age I think. It wasn’t even that hard to undo so I’m guessing it had cracked some point in the past and fell apart when I undid it

[@stephencrozier396]

What make of green grease is that?

[@MonkeyShred]

It’s Shimano ‘Premium’ Grease. Comes in a tube and costs £12.95 from Merlin Cycles for around 100ml I think it is. Looks very much like the grease Bikespeeds sell for £9 per 15ml 👀

[@stephencrozier396]

@MonkeyShred lol you do get a nice syringe though! Thanks mate.

[@samteks125]

Might want to give Castrol LMX, or Motul Tech Grease 300 a try. Great stuff for bearings etc. Costs almost the same as the Shimano, but you get 400g. And it's green, too! 😂

[@Mushin_mind]

WOAH 17:44

[@MonkeyShred]

MAGIC

[@kleinking364]

Send me those pace forks immediately!

[@MonkeyShred]

😂 Nope. I’ve got a Pace collection starting it seems

[@samblenkharn8099]

@@MonkeyShred will you have a go at restoring them?

[@MonkeyShred]

@@samblenkharn8099 of course! I’ve already done one set on the channel

[@kentjoosten8149]

Huh. How does one shatter a freehub?

[@MonkeyShred]

Just age I think! It wasn’t even that tough to undo so I think it had broken off long before.

[@samteks125]

Many years ago, a Deore DX rear derailleur just broke off below the main mounting screw. As it turned out, there was a small air bubble inside. Mind, the bike had been ridden for around 15 years before that happened

[@natayudi8532]

Can you send me part to bali indonesia

[@kitbiggz6135]

Are people still buying? Takes me like to 2-3 week to sell anything nowadays

[@JohnPilling25]

Your lucky - mine take months!

[@MonkeyShred]

😂 God no. I’ve struggled to sell XTR for cheap recently. Nothing is selling.
