SINGLE SPEED GRAVEL RESTORATION / BIKE BUILD

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?

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

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

[@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 👍😎.

[@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.

[@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)

[@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 🙏

[@ElFurioso]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@WrenB111]

Great build! Good for another 30 years

[@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.

[@loganhunt8666]

Great video! I am curious what bar tape you used? It is very pretty!

[@jeffmoore7701]

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

[@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

[@matthiaspeters5008]

@@heath6041yes But he put spacers between , i guess for Optik resons, these spacers can rattle when you Not thighten the topcap First

[@CushtyHealthFoods]

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

[@Xotty]

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

[@Roberto-jm8sr]

Quedó muy bonita,de que color es?

[@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!

[@terrymatthews1726]

Very good restoration workmanship and a well detailed video.

[@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.

[@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 )

[@dirkbonnema4918]

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

[@douglasskropelnicki2866]

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

[@tmayberry7559]

Were those mini v brakes or standard?

[@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!

Thank you 😁

[@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.

[@benfarooq1]

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

[@Stelsovod]

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

[@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

What's the purpose of that little purple gear that looks like a derailleur?

[@RustBucket_]

Thats chain tensioner

[@joaobikes]

@@RustBucket_ seu trabalho nessa bicicleta ficou incrível. Mas, acredito que não é necessário tensionador neste tipo de quadro de bicicleta, com gancheira horizontal.

[@jameskiddlelivingtrust5508]

What brand of chain tensioner is that?

[@RustBucket_]

@@jameskiddlelivingtrust5508 ztto

[@hawkeyejrose]

Because of the type of dropouts, you would be lucky to have proper chain tension with single speed. You could try different size rings but a tensioner is better. Unless you have an eccentric bottom bracket (preferred but more expensive)
