Gary Fisher Gravel Bike: Powder Coat Magic & Reassembly - 🤩

In this video, I finally reveal the stunning new color of my bike frame and fork, fresh from the powder coater! Watch as I piece together my custom build, featuring a 1x10 Microshift Advent X drivetrain, a 40T Narrow/Wide chainring, and a 11-42 cassette. I also swapped out the V-brakes for Trako Cantilever brakes and am rolling on slick Tan Wall Panaracer Graveling SK tires in 26x2.1.
Along the way, I share some fascinating facts about the legendary Gary Fisher, including how he coined the term "mountain bike" and his groundbreaking innovations like wider tires and disc brakes. You won't want to miss this

Really good video. Creative ideas, too. the "fun facts wording/s" the moving through the build up; and the "hiding" of the label names of your various containers... love it. well done!

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for Watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@BernieHoule]

I love that color!!!❤❤❤

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! I love the green!!

[@budycelyn]

you obviously know what your doing and this bike has come out absolutely stunning, love it, if i had any complaint at all it would be that you used a flat head screwdriver to tap in the lower steerer ball race.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! I don't normally swap out the race on forks too often, so I haven't gotten that tool yet. I probably should.

[@thebikefelix]

Nice colour!

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thank you!! Thanks for watching!!

[@BBBR351]

I bet is fun to ride! Nice color and a great content! I don't know if you test ride it, but looks to me that you routed the chain outside the cage of the derailleur.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! I'll have to go check the bike. Its been bitterly cold here so not test ride yet. It did shift on the stand without any issues. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

I just went back and watched my video.... It does look like I did not route the cable correctly on the first jocky wheel. Not sure how it shifted correctly on the stand. I'll be sure to fix that before I ride it this spring. Thank you!!!!!!

Nice! I have a Cannondale Topstone from 2019 with a similar but darker green paint scheme. Green is a great color for bikes.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! Green is a great color for bikes!!!

[@jaydogg4453]

Would like to see the road test after the great work done..🚲

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching!! You are right, I should show me on my test rides. I'll have to start doing that, especially on my personal bikes. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@robertarteaga2041]

I love what you did to restore this bike. Are you planning on applying the Gary Fisher decals back on as well?

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! I"m not sure about applying the Gary Fisher decals back on or not... I just might do the head-badge. I'm still thinking about it.

[@midorimage]

Nice bike, but you should give the viewers a longer overview of the bike once it is finished.

[@TheValueBikeAdvocate]

Thanks for watching! Thats a good idea and I will consider doing that in the future.
