I have been wrenching on bikes for 55 years. I need to say some things: 1) I learned stuff from watching this video, techniques 2) you are a master mechanic - I've seen a lot of guys do work and you are as good as any of them 3) your video work is excellent 4) this is the best bike repair video that I've seen in years Thank you

[@robertcabral1366]

I like the way you bring the bicycle back to life 👍😎. Nice paint job. The bicycle would be way nicer, if it had multiple gears. Thanks for the video 👍😎.

[@patricktaylor4997]

Nice build! 80s and 90s MTBs deserve some love and respect. Just wondering if you have any build details to share? I really like the paint that you used. Reminds me of the color of the race car that Mauri Rose won the 1947 and 1948 Indy 500 with. What paint is that? Also wondering what handlebar that is? What rims and tires did you install?

[@jp93309]

I am digging this video so much. A classy ss build for a rusty old bike that surely was destined for a landfill. Excellent job. Also you found the right balance of including the right parts to shoot and edit and efficiently condensing several days/weeks of build labor in a tidy runtime. Great work!

[@RustBucket_]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@huskyflylangley6053]

Good save! Makin' something out of what's considered junk. Good on ya!

[@RustBucket_]

Thanks man 🙌

[@eskye1971]

Good job! Well cared for even in the details. I seem to see me when they bring me bikes that have been thrown away in the courtyard for years and I completely renew them. Unlike, however, I rigorously put the loose spheres, I take photos of the original writings of the bicycle and reproduce them and reapply them so that these details are not lost (a detail I care about very much). But out of these differences you have made a masterpiece I love it even in the details. I also like the geometry of this frame ❤ (too bad it's not disc brakes)

[@elijahzarlin9741]

Clean build! Pretty sure you should tighten the stem adapter top cap bolt before the stem bolts on the steerer, to make sure the stem is seated all the way down :)

[@heath6041]

A quil stem doesnt pre load the head set bearings. so it doesnt matter what order its done in

[@chrispariseau7139]

Have always bought bikes. Never built them. This is gonna sound weird, but I saw some fucked up stuff yesterday and really needed to clear my head and your video really helped me to do that. I admire your work, but more importantly, I’m thankful for the effect it bad on me. Subscribed now. Thanks.

[@chrispariseau7139]

Correction: had on me

[@giovanniesparza2308]

Nada más hermoso que armar una bicicleta desde cero!!!

[@WrenB111]

Great build! Good for another 30 years

[@matze2915]

Nice… but will the rust not come back if you leave him there before repaint job? I always thought it has to be completed removed so that it will come through the new paint.

[@davideorteschi4818]

I thought so too

[@ricardoamaral2780]

I have a collection of old bikes, I restore them all myself, they are bikes that are decades old, I always remove all the old paint with paste remover so I don't excessively scratch the frame with a sander. Then I do an anticorrosive treatment on the frame before the new painting. Only when the old paint is well anchored and without traces of corrosion, I don't think it's necessary to remove all the old material.

[@nick-ish]

Once over dust, twice over rust

[@_stoatchaser]

Painting that frame in that state without taking the rust off was a crime against humanity

[@keefbrown]

Nice rebuild but a single speed makes it pretty useless for anything other than road biking as you’re going to struggle with any type of gradients. Also that rust will come back pretty quick if it wasn’t treated and I fear and the pitting on the metalwork at the rear was pretty severe so you’d have to wonder the longevity of the frame. Nicely presented though.

[@jeffmoore7701]

Well shot and edited! I learn alot from you just watching your condensed videos.

[@eskye1971]

Bel lavoro! Curata bene anche nei dettagli . Mi sembra di vedere me quando mi portano bici buttate in cortile da anni e le rinnovo completamente. A differenza peró io metto rigorosamente le sfere sciolte, faccio le foto alle scritte originali della bicicletta e le riproduco e le riapplico perche non si perdano questi dettagli ( un particolare a cui ci tengo molto ). Ma fuori di queste differenze hai fatto un capolavoro mi piace tantissimo anche nei dettagli. Mi piacciono anche le geometrie di questo telaio ❤ ( peccato non sia a freni a disco )

[@ridethroughlifertl]

2:30 Bruh, respect the torx driver! You need to find yourself a set of real punches.

[@seanclark2703]

I ride a GaryFIsher Genesis that looks a lot like this. I kept the old derailleur but it's blue with the drop bars and brown seats/tires. Dash Bicycle in Providence did it up for me.

[@marinoviskovic7083]

it's ok, vintage Marin mtb frames are very good, only one detail, you should put some sort of shield between the frame and a grass when paint it and hope you were wearing a mask

[@MrPhotodoc]

Absolutely the best way to make money on restoring old bikes is to make YT videos. Because even if you could sell the bike later, it's nothing compared to the monetization of the work. And the bike will not sell anyway.

[@terrymatthews1726]

Very good restoration workmanship and a well detailed video.

[@patrickhayes3099]

Fabulous color choice. Isn't there enough travel in dropout for 1/2 link of slack to tensiin chain? Why not skip the stem spacers? No preload happening there.

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

Rust never sleeps

[@baciliosilva8673]

I love your style!!👍🏿 Awesome video!!💪🏿

[@marciooki5820]

I'm curious about the brake levers. Did they work well with v brakes? What's the brand and model?

[@JonasPuischys]

Looks like Aliexpress ones tbh

[@adredy]

ceazy .. Frankenstein

[@valonnia]

Tektro also makes long pull drop bar levers RL520.

[@rumble602]

Sweet build. Happy trails.

[@valhalla1799]

Nice Restauration...but who needs a Single speed Gravelbike 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️?

[@Stelsovod]

Пыльник на переднем тормозе порезан. Одно только порадовало, цвет покраски приятный!

[@Xotty]

Nice build! What is the best single speed gear combination for a 26 inch wheel?

[@dirkbonnema4918]

Really lovely rebuild. Could you link the parts used in the description? Would like to do a restoration similar to this

[@damonstarkiller]

Veeery nice build, but i ask myself... what is the point about a single speed gravel bike? Like, wouldn't it it make sense to have some gears, or would you also ride a Mtb without gears?

[@Digi20]

some people do, and its cheap.

[@keefbrown]

lol that’s exactly what I wrote. The gearing for a single speed was off.

[@Roberto-jm8sr]

Quedó muy bonita,de que color es?

[@GeneralDestroyQc]

I would personnally prefere that you keeped the cantilever brake, but it's mostly my hate of V-Brake talking here hahahaahhaah

[@chrisallen2005]

Very nice job you did. Please do not confuse restore with rebuild. The automobile fanatics at Pebble Beach would make it very clear what the difference is. Once again, nice rebuild with modifications.

[@zptro6316]

Marin made nice steel frames, good project

[@newday89]

It looks so good . Thanks for making the video

[@ErrybodyGetTypsy]

A gorgeous build! That paint is so niceeee and pairs very well with the tan tires and purple chainring! Great editing on the video too!

[@RustBucket_]

Thank you 😁

[@zlepszowak9090]

Nice project mate. I like this 😎👍

[@karlfun]

Is that front fork bent back a little bit? I guess if it rides fine, it's steel, so it's not an issue. Beautiful build!

[@hectoravellaneda1674]

Nice bar tape !

[@andreasdahl717]

Good job and a sweet ride🎉

[@EliasErnestos]

Ele pintou por cima da ferrugem?

[@ElFurioso]

Do those road brake levers work well with the v-brakes?

[@mosquitotigre7078]

Lo dudo mucho, jaja. A ti y a mí no nos engaña con sus trucos, jiji

[@ElFurioso]

[@stephenpay8237]

Nice build!

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

Watching from Marin county

[@bosanderspublictheology]

That was an impressive transformation.

[@Jord83uk]

Excellent! Great name as well!

[@Logonnect]

There is a ton of rust remaining beneath that paint 😂😂😂😂

[@joshuathomas1939]

Definitely one of my new favorite channels!!!

[@VyacheslavBukanov]

А на кой нужен натяжитель цепи при косых дропаутах?

[@marcopintodelavega471]

Wonderful bike 👍

[@VisterChrad]

Fantastic video - what is that bartape? ✌️

[@CushtyHealthFoods]

What tyres are they and single speed set up with that dueralliar where did you get the dueralia

[@mikefoster3901]

What brand is the bar tape ? Looks nice 👌

[@davidarielcolodrero7519]

Clasico 90s I love IT!!!

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

It’s not a restoration but a cool project never the less 👍🏼 Nice saddle as well, it probably doubled the value of the bike 😁👍🏼

[@aiekseip]

У меня тоже Marin, muirwoods.Спасибо производителю.

[@W1nDs0R]

It looks like you didn't mask the bottom bracket threads while spraying, sick vid so far though :)

[@punkoso4168]

Looks incredible

[@yardsalecycles]

Great build .. but why a chain tensioner when the frame has verdict drops??

[@acrowley6810]

Was wondering the same. I bet so the wheel can set as far back in the "horizontal" drops as possible and you dont have to worry about coming out of tension.. Cause with QR they will. Bolt on they will but just slower. So seating the wheel as far back in the drops as possible and adding a cool purple tension-er you dont have much worry.. Was thinking of doing the exact same thing cause with horizontals it either comes out of tension or starts to vear to a braking side.

[@remcovandermeulen3205]

Nice restoration although I'm under the impression that it has a bend front fork.

[@3kek717]

Really inspirational video. AAA+++

[@douglasskropelnicki2866]

Did you stay with 26" tires or got to 700?

[@samtatge8299]

Nice color!

[@rocky5755]

Greetings from the UK. A superb job. Well done sir!

[@ERHMidvalley]

What tires you use?

[@3000Mrr]

Great ! Do you have the reference for the colour ?

[@popoyo01]

wow amazing

[@streetbikemanila7247]

Super wow nice job💯💯💯💯💯

[@tmayberry7559]

Yes indeed 💯 💯💯💯🔥🔥👍

[@michaelslifecycle]

What’s the point of having the tensioner on a single speed?

[@benfarooq1]

May I ask what respray machine you use as I would like to get one

[@alberkahani7537]

The wd he put, is unexpected

[@tmayberry7559]

Were those mini v brakes or standard?

6:55 Is the centerline new or just restored ? Thanks Greate job btw 😅 ✋

[@gator3-234]

Great build. It's hard to tell. Is that 700c or 26?

[@padshance]

26

[@valdirpassos3810]

Que linda parabéns

[@tositosilva4911]

Excelente saludos 👌

[@RustBucket_]

Thank you 🙏

[@SpaceMod2]

What kind of profit do you make on these restorations?

[@jaliatlas5808]

Pakai ukuran cranck dan cog berapa om?

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

Bike riding with Birkies?

[@teouhtlileonsoto8128]

I think could be better with shifting. Still, awesome bike.

[@barks165]

Nails are too long

[@mohammadaldi3175]

Orang indo ternyata ,bang pake frame size 17 bukan? Kalo iya pengen coba tiruin 🤪🙏

[@RustBucket_]

Iya om size 17 🙂

[@FirmanPerdanaPutra77]

Nice saddle

[@Stelsovod]

Соотношение звёзд вообще убило! Этот велосипед теперь черепаха! Смысл ему было ставить руль баран для аэродинамики!???

[@ideka9328]

Is that a 26er? If yes then I should try it with my bike too hahaha

[@naizondj]

Where you buy those parts?

[@RustBucket_]

Mostly online marketplace

[@supayam9978]

Its 26 inc?

[@kazutoyokoyama]

Aro 26 ou 700?

[@berjarak2535]

Ukuran BB-nya kira2 berapa mm, bang? Saya lagi bangun sepeda 26 utk single speed juga

[@RustBucket_]

Ukuran 113 om, belakang nya bisa di sesuaikan pake spacer biar lurus

[@caseypleasant1922]

Neat bike bro

LOVE IT!

[@danielsonsthagen8970]

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

[@jessiedamon676]

he should of put the marin brand on it

[@ianguignet757]

awesome
