We got two of these for our daughters ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L the same size for age 6 and 9. It works very well for both girls. Gears were very easy for them to learn. Changing gears up takes some hand strength and is a bit hard, but they are learning. They did not come with water bottle holders- we actually got confused and thought the Derailler Guard was the bottle holder!! Regardless of these details, the bikes are fantastic- even our six year old who only just learned to ride bikes caught on within an hour of practice and loves it. Lightweight and easy for them to handle. All the parts are in excellent condition and the bikes are easy to assemble and very well packaged. Great choice for kids!
The big disappointment is, that you did not do anything to improve the sound quality of the speakers. That small resistor on the tweeters doesn't do anything. Both drivers will play frequencies, that they should not play and in the end that will just sound ugly. With the right improvements, these speakers would be capable of a much better sound.
I must stay you were lucky that the bass surrounds and spiders and the glues holding it all together weer still ussable. I recently repaired some old 3 way monitors and out of the baas unitst, only one voice coil and the two cones survived, I could not repair the mid ranges and although I thought the tweeters were ok after a bit one started buzzing, Fractured glue between diaphragm and voice coil. Manged to get some modern but obsolescent equivalents to the mid ranges shipped in from Australia, but they didn't fit so a mate 3D printed and adapter plate to mate them to the original facepplates. Expensive, but a labour of love really.
it was possible not to cut the bottom bracket cup, it was necessary to cool the water in the freezer and pour the cup from the inside so that it would freeze, and pour boiling water on the outside of the frame, and everything would be unscrewed.
This isn't really a restoration either. Restore means to bring something back to a previous state, and that previous state normally means "new." He disassembled, cleaned, and re-greased, but he didn't restore anything back to its new condition, and that frame definitely wasn't bare aluminum when it was new. It was painted and had decals on it, like you see at the beginning of the video. The correct term for what he did is "refurbish," not "restore."
apply paint remover at home, best way of getting stonned :D Bike after remembers me of old 90s titanium/alu bikes. Normally one puts a bit of hand take behind the handles to hide the mechanism, besides that, good application.
I really liked this restoration, lots of people just throw a lot of new parts at a frame. It was great to see you reuse everything possible with such care. Great work!
Great video and a fantastic result. Autosol is a great product. Did you polish the entire frame by hand? If so how long did that take? Also did you clear coat the frame after to protect it from future rust and corrosion?
I got a sander, but I'm afraid it gonna hurt the frame, and there are so many curves. So yes, i sand it all by hands for two days. I did plans to apply a clear coat, but then I found out aluminum is not that easy to rust, and Autosol itself proved some protection, so i just let it be.
It's an aluminum frame; aluminum doesn't rust. It can oxidize to the point of corrosion, but not under typical bike riding conditions. Bare aluminum parts have been common on bikes for ages, such as crank arms, chainrings, rims, hubs, seat posts, seat post clamps, stems, handlebars, caliper brakes, brake levers, headset cups, and other things.
That's an incredible vid and I loved the calm vibe of the video. You inspired me doing the same to my old Cannondale road bike. May I ask what you used for paint stripping? Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Wow! Una restauración genial, además llevas 3 platos igual que mi Devron eléctrica que uso para trabajar, tengo una Orbea grande de montaña, pero esa la uso los fines de semana. En fin amigo mi más sincer enhorabuena, por cómo has dejado una genial bici de carretera, que estaba desahuciada y condenada ala basurero, la has echo revivir.
