Old Road Bike To Single Speed - PUCH

[@sonymicronin]

I absolutely love the choice of colors with that deep dark shade of blue, the black crank set, and the wonderful stripped steel at the rear. The only thing that would make this possible any better would be to make it a fixed gear and remove those brakes 😏

[@coldcrush1]

I just finished rebuilding a 1996 Cannondale road. I was going to strip, paint and shine the project but it felt like I was just making it pretty for a bike thief. I used Plasti Dip and left the brakes and crank dirty but it rides like a thousand dollar bike 😊

5:04: The ancestral technique of « the frame around the vise »🤣🤣 Tho very good video, and beautiful!

[@jeffk2481]

The stop motion editing was awesome

[@djar220]

Great conversion and paint job! 🚲 Thank You for sharing. 🙂

[@a.i.l.u.3485]

One word, BEAUTIFUL.

[@bob-ny6kn]

So nice. Very pleasing result. Nothing beats the shower if sparks and smell of heated metal and grease. Pro-tip on cotters: use a screw press to push them out, or a small drift (not too small) to keep the "mushrooming" to a minimum. I f* hate cottered cranks, but they look so good, so I do my best to re-use them. I look forward to the day I toss them in the metal scrap bin.

[@charlieamos6640]

Thumbs up for the effort in removing the crankset ..happened to me too lol

[@vermonthillsumc]

Your edits are much appreciated . I like your style.

[@lonerbikes]

nice idea with polishing back triangle pipes but the chain line is ok ? drive is noisy

[@505Lucky7]

Umm. I don’t think those pins were seized, rather you were beating them in?🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RonaX]

This is like a gameplay no commentary videos on YT. Already subscribed.

[@BicycleRestorationMan]

Love those Puchs. That’s one way to remove those cranks! 😆 Nice job.

[@cesarrubinos8042]

Felicitaciones amigo, toda bici antigua siempre es recuperable, tengo una PUCH urbana es excelente su diseño, saludos desde Lima PERU.

[@JG-pj3bg]

I use to do it this way when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s, I didn’t know there were special tools for removing and installing bike parts

[@edjack1993]

Super nice - well done!

[@Maik1968]

Hello and greetings from Germany! Thanks for this video and congrats to you, an amazing result 💪👍 take care and keep on going 🌞🍀

[@markfisher299]

Bad start great finish..Good job

[@BasedWop]

Watching you beat the shit out of that old crankset really made my day 🔥🔥🔥

[@timsim83]

I was really hoping for spring loaded worms to pop out of the crank after all that. 😂Bravo! 🎉

[@elmakednos]

Got the same bike from our uncle after he died and I made it like new. I only have changed wheels ( aluminium). I made it for the his memory and every time i am riding it I remember of him. You did the best you could do for this bike. I am sure it will last for another 50 years.

[@kidoffset5659]

Very nice looking bike and I appreciate the editing ! Couldn't help but notice that you flipped the headset bearings. Great job anyways !

[@paullacey2999]

Another bike lives👍👍👍

[@faiminifan4127]

Beautifully done! 😎👍

[@philippe4495]

For the clavette (key in english ?) instead of grinder hard try drill a hole in the clavette, it works. Thanks for the video, good work.

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Another bike saved from the tip. Nice 👍

[@cwildsblog]

I just saw that crankset fucking up so hard and just thought: omg have fun with the button bracket aswell haha :D great job, looks awesome

[@gastoncorzo6900]

Quedó muy bien. Mucha onda la bici. Copada 💪🏻. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@sergiogonzalezcarrasco1256]

Fine job

[@ratoneJR]

13:30 your original brake calipers cleaned up nice, but... I would have bought some dual pivot calipers. Love the stopping power of dual piviot calipers.

[@newoldsteel]

Awesome build!

[@freilichwurscht]

I'm planning to do this myself but I have two questions: How did you mount a ahead stem on a threaded fork? And where are these chain noises coming from?

[@artvandalay2736]

Threaded to threadless stem adapter. Idk why he skipped that part lmao

[@SilVer-hu2ps]

@@artvandalay2736 just got one. And yeah, it works!

[@jakubheliniak1156]

Nice bike and work etc. But what is that sound?

[@grindeyyyyy]

We have the same stand, big up

[@bosanderspublictheology]

Great job. Such a good watch.

[@rikkilake]

What kind of wheels are those? They look nice.

[@aaqilazam9199]

legend says it is still stuck

[@superray2556]

Good job!

[@billzielke6798]

I like it. Well done! Who makes the brake levers? Those were a nice touch.

[@gutzboy1]

Metal grinders are awesome!

[@kevinvanhoy8259]

2:45 ▶️ You probably already know this but channel lock pliers have proper leverage when flipped around the opposite way.

[@mycoolm3]

so rad !!! keeep them vids coming !!!!

[@Nick_F]

[@mf7604]

nice work!

[@asdawawd]

HI. VERY NICE VIDEO. CAN I ASK U WAHAT SIZE IS THIS FRAME AND HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT SIZE IF I'M 176 cm

[@ИсмаилСултан-и2д]

14:46 you put that bearing upside down?

[@jayjohnson007]

Why is it so noisy...single speed should be smooth and quiet....

[@bikepackingadventure7913]

? Chain line out

[@nikitashkredov8901]

I reckon that's the one following that makes all the noise

[@nicodanger13]

[@Itz_brandon312]

Chain making the noise is the best you guys are boys not man

[@bora01vr6]

Izumi chains fixed gear chain are known being a little loud. You either like it or you don’t

[@Ben-oni442]

Nice

[@luizfellipecortat518]

O cara pega uma bike que tem uns 25 anos, de aço carbono, cuida com todo carinho e não passa uma graxa na espiga do garfo, deixa no aço enferrujado.... Acho que meus 30 anos de ciclismo me deixaram doido. Sem contar os conduítes sem terminais.

[@sagesserbetc247]

You live on a flat area, nice job!

[@ssssugar_]

those types of crancks are always seized haha

[@Irhamwashere]

This is nice bike man

[@milododd]

Damn dude, this started off so rough. >.

[@Bicichika]

Sick!

[@matejvrabel]

The top bearing on the fork is bottom side up, istn't it?

[@humildemarcelo]

Yes

[@xvier2404]

Love it..

[@ipemontoya3609]

I pity this bike!! 😔 But in the end....👍😉

[@ДенисГриценко-з1я]

Очень интересно! Задний тормоз- правая рукоятка, передний тормоз- левая рукоятка. Рубашка тросиков проложена неправильно

[@hamkimj65]

Brits have their brakes on opposite of most op us..

[@MaximRecoil]

It sounds like your chainline is off and/or your chain is too tight.

[@SJMCycles]

It was, my bad.

[@mmksd81]

sick!!!

[@ridh9451]

Does izumi chains always make that kind of noise?

[@jarpinthebox1901]

yes

[@yelloface1085]

when wd-40 didn't worked now you know that it's not a fake-restoration :D

The frame on my Puch snapped when I did a bunny hop on it.

What the size of the square taper bottom bracket

[@longooslingshootstrogba3151]

Why is it skipped here which a-head adapter is used? what's going on there?

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

Personally I would have kept the mudguards, but that's just me ...👍...

[@Sr.D]

There's no need for a tensioner?

[@bennettturk3206]

What is all that rattling noise about?

[@ThePoldoness]

May I ask what is the size of Bottom Bracket that you used?

[@EricSajid]

hello varnished steel does not rust?

[@diegoestafalando]

19:38 chainline: OK

[@nicodanger13]

So that cra-cra noise where cam from? Bended chainring?

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

is it too small for you?

[@aquilonianace4791]

Why so noisy? Was it the carbon wheels?

[@davidfo4610]

which wheels do you use?

[@yesussanches7542]

That fork is not adequate for the that neck, u skipped that part on the video.

[@moslemjahani6640]

Where’s the 56cm frame???

Así no se sacan las palancas de una bici cortando con moladora , eso se usa lubricante o un soplete para calentar el material y sale .

[@ИсмаилСултан-и2д]

That noice because not greased chain?

[@trajtemberg]

And probably too tight.

[@robertcaldwell2994]

Bad chain line. Went from 5 speed rear to single and didn't use spacers to true the chain line.

[@harveyjones5027]

@@robertcaldwell2994 this was the big unanswered question was chainline. I know those izumi chains are very noisy if the chainline is off. would seem to be a shame to make all that effort and not get that part right, maybe it was done somewhere just not shown in the video
