These are the videos I miss. I love your custom paint jobs. They're amazing.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@christardiff1714]

These are my favorite Old Shovel videos. New paint, new parts; creating a whole new bike!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@elias2338]

Oh my lord this paintjob looks SOOO GOOD!!!🤌🏻

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@michaeldiamod6173]

Give me bike pls 🙏😂 I'm form Philippines

[@cancionesconimaginacioncon3301]

Thanks you for gif MTB to Venezuela's people in your town. Remember this? God Bless to you.

[@vitorcosta8765]

You are an artist when giving an old bike a new life 😊 One thing that took me back was those amazing XT hubs, quite a status back a few years! 👌

[@oldshovel]

Thanks. They made for a clean build.

[@adamtieri143]

That bike turned out beautiful! Great choice going for the plus build too!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@birachdamir5149]

Extremely educational and interesting video. I have been following your work for a long time, as well as the other explanations you provide. What I hate the most in my country is that bicycles are not made in the best possible way, so most people are forced to buy or assemble a bicycle for themselves at their own discretion. I really enjoy your presentation. Many greetings from Serbia (ex Yugoslavia), Balkans - Europe. B.Damir

[@nascarisawesome5018]

That's a beautiful job well done. I sell Marlins everyday and always wonder what they would look like with custom paintjobs. Thank you for showing us!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@ondrejmanych5688]

It looks like a paintjob that Trek themselves would use in their mass production, very well done, as always.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@WorldwideDarts]

Wow! What an amazing makeover! Truly blown away by how nice this bike turned out. Great job!

[@oldshovel]

Tha ks

[@mountainsmoore3657]

That ended up being a beautiful bike! Love the color combo! The school where it teach has the same colors…may have to swipe this idea for a commuter for me to ride to school everyday?? 🤔😂

[@DanielCooper1]

My high school was the same colors! Nice!

[@oldshovel]

Lol our school does too

[@bikesandbeyond618]

Careful...TREK may come asking you to head up their custom paint division... So much better than their factory looks. Was really hoping to see some of that copper color in action. Great job!

[@oldshovel]

I was bummed about the copper. 😁🙌

[@belgianguitarist7503]

As a pro bike mechanic, this makes me so happy 👌😍

[@montanaharkin]

Paint looks great. Solid build.

[@sebdries]

Great Build and awesome choice of parts!

[@michael61985]

Red and black goes good together

[@oldshovel]

Agreed. Thanks 🙏

[@johnnydoe66]

As amazing as this turned out, I can't imagine how it would have looked with the copper color. Nice build for your wife, I wish my wife liked to ride, but I am working on it.

[@oldshovel]

I was bummed on the copper

[@NonLegitNation2]

I have a Schwinn hybrid bike that has 28 inch rims. I plan to totally overhaul it and use all of my spare parts to make it my winter bike. I'm going to get rid of the 28 inch commuter/hybrid skinny rims and replace them with 27.5 rims. Initially I wasn't so sure about this but then just like you did I realized with the smaller rims I can add bigger tires which is a definite plus because I need the biggest tires I can fit on there for when I'm riding in snow. It's funny, all the spare parts I have are from my current bike after I upgraded to better components. After all the upgrades I have all the parts to be able to completely tear down the Schwinn to just it's frame and use all my spare parts to rebuild it up. Once it's built, it's not going to be the most attractive bike but I don't need it to be considering it's going to just get covered in slush, snow and salt in the winter.

[@marie7826]

Holy crap! This looked AMAZING! You breath a new life onto this bike!

[@tribestribes2555]

Lovely video. No music only the sound of tools and spare of talk. This is true art as it,s best.

[@giovannirestrepo7385]

Beautiful finish it’s great work you did.

[@91rattoyota]

I really like your color combination that you used, good choice and great to see another bike reborn into awesomeness!!!!

[@mountainsmoore3657]

Yes! Love to see these paint videos.

Thanks. Absolutely great video

A labor of love.

[@oldshovel]

[@jamesklarevas5091]

Re: the copper paint, metallic spray paints are always way more prone to clogging up caps/nozzles. Usually fine just with a swap to a fresh cap, sometimes helps to use a "fatter" cap if you can find something compatible at your local hipster graffiti supplier.

[@oldshovel]

That was my first thought also so I swapped a clean cap but it appeared to be the aerosol was spent…

[@prestonnorman8968]

One of the best builds yet. Thing looks great man.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks my friend

[@bebopman5]

The dope respray and rebuild. From the look of it at the beginning, I suspected it might be larger than a small 😅. But it all worked out at the end, and now you have a budget Roscoe (pre-2022 model).

[@oldshovel]

Lol thanks

[@ivangeraldo542]

Excelente trabajo amigo...... Me gustan mucho tus videos...... Saludos desde México!!!

[@bobgabel6497]

your modus operandi to painting bikes is now reached a level of superiority. I'm jealous of your wife.

[@entme8905]

Thank you! You are an artist!

[@oldshovel]

You’re kind. Thanks

A very nice custom restoraion, you have done a excellent job, this TREK Marlin MTB looks fabulous done in those colours... I am a TREK 6000 MTB rider they are a very nice bike to ride 👍 Au

[@KotakMeister]

Great paint job! I'd have gone for just a normal clearcoat as the the first layer and used the 2k after the wet sand but that's just because I'm cheap and impatient. Beautiful work 👍👍👍

[@wongalan4573]

It's really sick and amazing I really like it so much

[@martinwakawaka5265]

An awsome Shovel bike

[@freddylopezfong]

[@Bikeops2021]

Nice work!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks my friend

[@oldschooldude3500]

Awesome paint job 👍. I would of loved to see what you had planned for the copper. Maybe another day and project. I know some of the metallic and others similar paints have a shorter life on the shelf than standard paints.

[@tikas408]

Oh man, this is what I want to do on my 95 rockhopper. Paint it up, update the wheels, convert to 1x, and give it a new alt handlebar. It's on my bucket list to complete this one day.

[@miguelnieves1356]

Man the whole project was awesome

Great job

[@ALONSOSRC]

pretty clean 👍

[@oldshovel]

🙏 thanks

[@kipcc3918]

I’m glad you changed your mind on the radial fronts caused that would’ve ripped that hub outta there in immense braking. 🤣 Radial on non disc side and 3 cross on brake side would’ve still kept a good look. More XC style wheel Hehehe.

[@oldshovel]

Yah I wasn’t sure how it would be

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Consider the wheel wind up characteristics under heavy braking torque . We use 3x pattern for this scenario .

[@abdellahzaidi1257]

Un bon travail de précision. Merci pour la video 🌴🌴🌸🌸

Hello, I like your work! After my old GaryFisher, I built a "workcycle" with an old RCZ 26" with 29" wheel and gravel 28" tires, 38t-10speed 11-32t, and a chineese carbon fork =>11kg. Same of the MTB, I used old pieces and new. Next step: unbuild it and paint the frame. I need time...thanks you

[@oldshovel]

Sounds awesome

[@danielstormy3660]

Very nice bike, these 2,8 tyres looks massive on HT :-)

[@LeiffNathanAMendoza]
