As much as I enjoy your painted stuff, I really love when you match up components to frame as well as on this build. Just great looking. Those wheels too 🤌🏼

[@oldshovel]

Dido. On some bikes the paint is just awesome and screaming for som color coordinated bling. The headset on the bike originally was awesome but I knew I had a used orange Chris king headset… 🙌

[@timmcdowell3097]

100% the way to go on that bike, now a few orange chain ring bolts , bottle cage bolts n seat clamp and you’ve suddenly make it look like a bike worth twice the price!!!

[@godfatherofphil]

Great rebuild as always, the bike looks fast while leaning on the wall already. It‘s always a pleasure to watch your work. I am working on a cannondale bad boy from 2000 and will switch it with a 1/10 or 11 into a streetfighter. Thanks for your awesome inspiration.

[@jimmansi9046]

Wow, what an awesome build, love that frame & components, flat bar road bikes are a blast to ride!

[@01FozzyS]

Cool build,Rob. Love the color combos.

[@charlescan2419]

Very impressed with the cycling infrastructure on your route

[@jasonchar2573]

Your parts bins! So organized, bagged grips is a great idea, keeps them clean till used!

[@joshuafleck2204]

Watching the beginning of this got me thinking: I'd love to see a video where you just go through all your parts bins, it was groovy seeing all the different stuff! Anyway, thanks for all the awesome videos, Oldshovel!

[@briandineen7857]

Beautiful build. Love the rear cassette and the one ring setup

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@UltimateWedgieParachuteCo]

Great color combo, great build! Looks fast sitting still.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@kevinthomson6324]

Some nice touches with the colour combinations

[@wslyss]

Great build, great video... Each video a new inspiration for me.

[@monkist]

Like the “new style” where you introduce the parts to be used in the beginning👍 Great build as usual!🏆

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@xlasvegan7x]

I have a KHS Montana in a beautiful lime green with a cromo frame. The thing is bomb proof. Even the headset stem is steel. Love those orange grips.👍

[@michaelsnedden9029]

Nice build video, as usual! I have a streetfighter on my list of builds for this winter. Keep up the great videos and thanks for putting yourself out there. -Mike's Bikes Work

[@alexanderkristiansen4539]

This build is my favourite you've done so far🤩 muy muy bueno 👍💪

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@dalemans2975]

So, unless I’m wrong, what started as a parts bin build turned into new components. Looked like a lot of new components were added after the initial setup. Looks like it could have gotten quite expensive for the average person.

[@MrMisaKulicka]

Yeah..."after going through my parts bin, I decided to get a load of brand new components instead" 😅

[@felixjackson2670]

Love it. Have a set of those Mavic wheels,purchased 8 years ago S/H..still in use....also got myself a Stanton Sherpa 853 mtb frame ..great ride. Hope you enjoy your new bike

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@SandyNickk]

That is a spicy rig sir, well done!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@MiamiCali706]

It came out great. Beautiful bike

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@Mikemalone7873]

Such a timely build! Was trying to figure out what to ride to pick up my Pumpkin Spice Latte just before Halloween… Another great build! Thanks for sharing.

[@oldshovel]

🙌

[@Gregory_tottie]

That bike looks incredible.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@ryanchambers1956]

I got my grips because of this channel and the are still going strong 💪

[@oldshovel]

Awesome

[@91rattoyota]

Beautiful bike sir! I love your videos and I also love building bikes to my hearts desire. Each one is my own. Keep on building!!!!!! and riding!!!!!!!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks my friend

[@jekyll8004]

Great build as always! I love the street fighter look as well. Nice homage to Seth, by the way. Sometimes you just gotta stare!

[@duyle557]

Awesome Awesome build. I made my street fighter from a specilized sirrus. Running 42t in front and 10t-42t rear on rival 1 groupset and no problems on hills so you can definitely go bigger up front

[@oldshovel]

I agree. I’m sure I’ll still be swapping things on it occasionally.

[@wrenchandscrub]

your ride to work looks great!

[@abhiseksaha3221]

What a Flite! Perfect!!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@robertgrell486]

Great realization, very nice bike 👍

[@Kacavida11]

Nice build, the bike looks beautifull

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@houseofsolomon2440]

Have a 25 y.o. custom 853 mtb frame set built here in the states. Turned into bmx-ish cruiser 1x7, 2.25" tires, small crossbar, mavic wheels, shimano xt derailleur, house of color emerald green paint still looks new.

[@wzlwcg]

Beautiful bike, congrats

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@ojnebsebrof326]

Magnificent 😮

[@MrRidvanz]

Black and orange is very cool !

[@ElectricGhostOpera]

Great build mate I think disc breaks are great, but there is just something about road bike and rim brakes. I love them and will always have one.

[@jerviereyes]

Dream Bike😍😍😍😍 nice build bro 👍❤️

[@caseypleasant1922]

I love this bike....simple but clean....I would love to find one similar to it

[@TheCockLol]

This is great to see - when I was building up my commuting hybrid (with staunch mtb mentality), I found it really hard to find cool and interesting flat bar road/hybrid builds - perhaps 'Streetfighter' is the search term I needed? Also great to see it with a 1x - I've got the same on mine and seems to keep up pretty well. 38t front and 11t rear is fast enough for me on the crappy roads and bike paths around me!

[@oldshovel]

Dido on the 38t to 11t. Just right fo me too if I don’t want to need a shower when I get to work.

[@bendekker6552]

I just finished and sold a semi similar build. 80s Trek 400 converted from drop bar to flat, 27" to 700c, and 3x6 to 1x9. A nice ride!

[@oldshovel]

Awesome

[@johnbrann75]

Really like the flat bar on a road bike.

[@nielskjr5432]

Very nice streetfighter! Beautiful place you live. Must be very demanding hills with that enormous casette.

[@oldshovel]

Lol for my commute I like to take it easy. 😁

[@josuezuniga6776]

Awesome videos,big fan, greetings from Costa Rica

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks

[@nickmassey9104]

Great colour scheme 👌

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@haqitman]

I like what you did there. That's where all the old XT stuff is! I've been mulling something similar for my Specialized SL2 Roubaix with Ultregra 9, that has those mavic wheels on it. Great setup as is but a flat bar, 1x wide range, and 28c tires has me thinking...

[@robase2665]

This guys parts stash is insane🤣🤣

[@tcv-tv5313]

Love this channel!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks my friend

[@luisfernandocaetano1]

Meu Deus que acervo de peças, sonho de muitos.

[@edwinkarani5593]

Love it.

[@drrrw]

Basically like my build but with a loop bar. Epic on the flats and the hills.

[@Mascot3030]

Beautiful Bike ♥

Bike Build ASMR at its finest.

[@shaylorcyclingwahoolecol8313]

As an owner of 5 KHS bikes I love to see this

[@Traildude193]

Finaly a flat bar road bike build it looks sweet.

[@oldshovel]

🙌

[@markthomas3853]

very nice.. looks like a great practical bike for around town/commuting... the only thing I'd add is some Cane Creek ergo bar ends... I loved them nearly 20 years ago on my karate monkey and if I was to do flat bars on a street bike they would 100% make the cut.

[@aceprater5397]

Awesome! another great build video. There is an old KHS near me but I had to pass on it. I don't think it was 853 though.

[@michaelajlawlor]

Sooooo rad!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@deuce9624]

Very nice

[@wahabagung5062]

waaw...nice one

[@stephanblack4558]

Old school, great.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@anielyantra1]

Really 'fixie classic' on the styling. I would be on the look-out for an orange seat. As far as the build; You and I think a lot alike. 38T chain ring is the sweet spot for a 1X street fighter.

[@oldshovel]

Totally 🙌

[@paulwatson-work3544]

Great build! One of my favourites. Also match shirt and grips! Also, also how smooth is that tarmac in the montage

[@landyr71]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@jaknjaknjakn]

This bike is awesome! Working as a courier I would love to ride it!

[@oldshovel]

Awesome

[@shannonstrobel6727]

Not only is this a nice build, but you are Reasonably Dangerous ripping down those hills 🙂

[@tylewis693]

Great episode. I am gathering parts to do the same to a GT frame set.

[@oldshovel]

Awesome 🙌

[@badger67]

Oooh sir, very nice. I would personally put bar ends on it, but shorten the bars to scrape past cars 😂

[@jullyanoaf]

👏🏼🇧🇷 Você mora numa linda cidade.

[@oldshovel]

[@jjcaron4381]

great video.😁

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@brv002]

Wow, that bike is hot!

[@aliromunoz2740]

Maravilloso

[@fjp3305]

Nice job. I like how neat and organized you are, with all those parts in plastic boxes and the right tools. What size of tires did you install? And yes, I would've put a bigger chainring. Great video, short and concise. I liked the ride at the end. And good music.

[@danbouchelhi1785]

Good work U r awesome.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@glennpettersson9002]

I made a very similar parts bin bike, a 26" steel Voodoo Hoodoo with 700x38c and it rips. I have drops on it now but it looked better with a flat bar. Not as flash as yours though, great build.

[@oldshovel]

I love VooDoo bikes 🙌

[@StephenMarceau]

Killer ......I have 3 old school street fighter bikes....best mod for old road bikes.......excellent

[@paulwest7115]

I have those exact same rims on my 15 y.o. (maybe older??) Specialized Allez Road Comp bike. Looks good Rob!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@the2mig]

Very nice build, love the wheels and the parts layout. Just wondering why you would splash out on a 11-51 casette on a bike with v-brakes and road tires. But propably you live near steep hills 🙂

[@derekdavis6508]

I wish I could visit the shops up there, a lot more bike stuff in Utah than here in rural TX nada, we do have one bike shop about 25 minutes away, I have a friend that lives by Hurricane if I remember.

[@aliastagami2346]

I love me a streetfighter build. It's funny to me because all of my road bikes have flat bars and the only bike I have with drops is a 26er MTB I converted into something of a gravel touring bike!

[@tongpocalypse151]

Nice build, I can stare at it all day. The thing about "parts bin builds", at least for me, is that I love the idea of putting random bits to use, but eventually the mismatched parts start bothering me. For me, at least the cockpit always ends up harmonized. I was wondering how the 73mm BB was going to affect your chainline. The ring definitely goes inside of the spider (glad you made it work), but even then I'd be curious about the chainline.

[@oldshovel]

It could still go in about 3-5mm to get the best chain line but it’s working well.

[@marvindaugherty5989]

I built mine very similar to this, but found that the gearing ratio was too "soft". So I put a 105 road cassette on it. It is now the beast I intended.

[@oldshovel]

Awesome

[@bigscandi]

Orange is not my color of choice but it fits and completes the look of this bike.

[@piercewasmund2042]

Nice

[@oldshovel]

[@michaelmann6482]

Matching shirt 👍😉

[@oldshovel]

[@Ronin_Texas]

Love the build, I know it is just a cosmetic thing but the Headset cups are installed upside down.

[@bum_doubt]

how do you keep happening upon these fantastic tubeset frames? insane.

[@ondrejmanych5688]

I never knew I have a streetfighter too. It is nothing like this one, but it is made from my dads first bike and it has a flip flop hub, so I can run it fixed or single speed. I call it City Slayer haha,

[@oldshovel]

Awesome

[@TheVCVCFULL]

halloween colorway love it

[@oldshovel]

Totally 🙌

[@marcusathome]

That's really a cool bike. The wheels are the perfect match for that kind of a build and sticking to the orange/black color scheme with the headset and grips makes it pop. I would have shortened the handlebar slightly (3cm each side) to give it an even more racier look and to get more aero, but that's just personal preference, I guess.

[@perkupine5810]

Awesome Build! Are those cheap chainrings from Amazon worth it? I'm looking to convert my GT Timberline to 1x.

[@oldshovel]

I’ve been happy with all the ones I’ve tried.

[@paulwright3458]

Quick query what are you doing and with what tool at approx 11.00 prior to back derailleur installation? Thanks

[@marianmodiga808]

Hi, I really like your work, and most of your projects but I want to point out something. At the crank arm assembly, I didn't see you using grease between the chainring and crank arm and also thread locker on bolts. Maybe I didn't see it write but you can tell me. I have a lot of respect for your work and I enjoyed all your videos. One question I have for you, when can we see a suspension fork service on your channel ? :) Keep doing the great work mate ! Cheers from Europe :D

[@SmallGadgetMan]

very nice build! could you take a 2000's Dynacraft Next bike and turn it into something you would ride? I would love to see that!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks. If I find one perhaps. 🙌

[@kyriakostheocharous3442]

Chris King headset upside down 😢😂

It’s a second install 😁 it’s also fun and boy does it get the comments going. 😁🙌
