Fixed Gear Restoration/Rebuild - Cecil Walker

[@robw4262]

Shows total respect for the previous resident and releases him to the garden. Such class!

[@truthseeker8483]

He would have been a deceased resident if he was on my bike......haha

[@nonym7596]

Theres nothing better than a video from you in the morning

[@barca97100]

The video quality is just top notch man. And retro bike builds are the best. Great video and I'd love to see more vintage/retro builds. Subscribed.

[@waveywheelies]

Thank you man! And thanks for the nice feedback, I’ll try do more of them🙂

[@eugeneyem]

250NZD is about 170USD... the DA crank alone costs about that much, what a steal

[@blacklangster1141]

170 USD? 😭 for us in Canada it’s $320 CAD or $256 USD for a USED set 😭😭😭

[@eugeneyem]

Damn dude, that’s a lot. I was browsing eBay today, and some used options came up even a bit lower than $170

[@anaxamanderjelliff7733]

Hell nah dura ace cranksets are like 400 bucks

[@eugeneyem]

@@anaxamanderjelliff7733 yeah, new ones are. Used ones are much less

[@jamzillah]

the uk the cranks new are 300+

[@oscarbrown6948]

Always love the restoration/conversion type videos!!

[@waveywheelies]

Thank you! More to come✌️

[@eugeneyem]

Agreed, super rad to see an old bike get a new life

[@dreyn7780]

I've seen over 200 bicycles thrown in the trash every year for the last 31 years. Bike owners are scum. Dog owners are scum too. I've had 164 dogs run to my dogs and attack them straight away. People can rot in hell, that's what they deserve based on their pure selfishness. They don't deserve or appreciate this bike or any other bike. The generation who appreciated this bike stuff are DEAD.

[@dreyn7780]

Conversion by the unwise. It wasn't maintained. It was ruined and its still ruined. This isn't your opportunity to react and post a comment. You're not in a conversation.

[@kitka1990]

Mmm, good coffee, beautiful track bike... That's how a nice morning should look like!

[@waveywheelies]

👌

[@doncommando]

Thanks for that BB trick! Will save me some time and parts if another one I’ve faced is a bugger. I just use penetrating oil; make a cup of coffee; get at it again. Keep it up! You’ve been helping and encouraging me to restore more bikes!

[@waveywheelies]

Awesome to hear! Glad they help you out :)

[@suhdud4646]

That build is a premium build even before the resto. Whoever sold it, I doubt knew what the had let go off.

[@ImHereForYourArtStream]

Absolutely beautiful build and bike. And I love that tip with the bottom bracket tool so it doesn't slip off. Great video!

[@waveywheelies]

thanks so much! stoked to hear you got something useful out of it✌️

[@jasonmetevier1930]

about to tear one down tomorrow, i'm excited to use that trick. thank you!!

[@jaimegomezgarcia7599]

Fantastic video ! Two of my bikes have FSA needle bearings a-head system. And I'm so happy with it.

[@hippiemark01]

Needle roller bearing headset 😍😍😍 So jealous, they are much smoother and handle load much better than a standard ball bearing.

[@tevahflys]

13:00 I just picked up a used fixed gear and didn't check the cog or the lock ring first. I went on a ride and when I backpedaled to slow down the cog slipped. I got off and both the cog and the lock ring were only finger tight. A good tip to check them! It definitely happens!

[@jacobmelendez5567]

Love the longer vid

[@waveywheelies]

Thanks, I’ll try do more of them :)

[@anaxamanderjelliff7733]

Some of ur methods with mechanics are rlly interesting! Respect

[@waveywheelies]

Thanks!

[@buddybubble3264]

15:50 one of the most beautiful moments when you restore a bike ... a new, filigree seat clamp. What some people install there ... from very ugly cap nuts to "scaffolding screws" - everything was included and nothing looks nicer than a suitable saddle clamp ...

[@waveywheelies]

Totally agree!

[@BR7AVEONE]

Perfect Summer Build with those colours

[@wigglesnake3754]

Lmao the spider. Great stuff as always, Wavey!

[@waveywheelies]

[@buddybubble3264]

one tip for new grips: spray hair lacquer in it, before push it over the handlebar. it slides easy over, but when its dry, it glue very strong

[@waveywheelies]

👍

[@crateinvader8572]

sweet build

[@C345OFR]

If the Shimano parts weren't added too long after the build, then judging by the date codes (August 2000 for the cranks, August 2001 for the BB), you have a late-'90s/Y2K frame :-)

[@waveywheelies]

👌

[@waveywheelies]

One day you will🤞

[@karlwalters3763]

It's possible that the frame may be a Paconi made frame for the Cecil Walker shop. I used to ride one on the track that was very close in tubeset to what yours is, except for the double bridge at the back. Not sure what tubing mine was but it was sure nice to ride and stiff as hell!

[@waveywheelies]

ooo interesting! Thanks for the info!

[@jamestorres5582]

Love it . I've never heard of the brand . Wondering if they're still around and sell to the States

[@ginanjarajiatmaja3919]

Love your work 🤜

[@waveywheelies]

Thank you 🤛

[@kacewhite4746]

this tubing looks to be extremely similar to a bmx frameset i saw on Dans Comp yeeeaaars back. supposedly its stupid strong with the lumpy tubing. Great build as always

[@waveywheelies]

thank you! and that's interesting, I wonder what it was?

[@kacewhite4746]

@@waveywheelies I'll do some research on it. I think it was an old Sunday frame I'm not too sure. But yeah those tubes are practically un-dentable

what a beauty, have you been able to find anything about frame material or history of the frameset,it has some nice touches in its design.cracking video.

Thanks geeman! Haven’t heard back from them yet, really keen to find out though!

[@axoltl2261]

4:58 sir wavey what is the size of the wrench you use on standard headsets?

[@bandguy360]

Hi! Iv been watching a lot of your videos. The quality is amazing. I have a question. I am converting an 80s french made peugot to a fixed gear since it has horizontal dropouts. Do u think i will need to get a different spindle length bb? Im going to use a 120mm rear hub with spacers to fit the 126mm dropouts.

[@bluesimon13ify]

Great looking bike, was it a columbus frame or just the forks, I wish I could find an old bike like this, 😀

[@waveywheelies]

Still haven’t found out unfortunately!

okay I'll just comment and ask, what is that song that plays while you are truing the wheels? Cannot stop watching all the builds and stuff by the way!

I cant find the video, but I think I saw you use a wedge tool between the wheel and frame to tension your chain once. Not sure if it was you after trying to find it. If it was you, where did you get that?

Not me.. I don’t think. Never used a wedge, but I do know what your talking about. They look kinda like a wooden door stop?
