From a 1990's Gary Fisher Tassajara vintage 26" Mountain Bike to an updated and refreshed retro urban commuter conversion. I swap the rugged tires with smooth rolling Schwalbe Billy Bonkers, install a new stem, headset, pair new shifters with the original Shimano drivetrain, and also install a new seat, seat post and pedals. The 3x drivetrain shifts great and work amazing with the new shifters! I love how it turned out, let me know what you guys think! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the build.

Looked great. I personally would have gone with an adjustable stem and a bar with some sweep for comfort.

The 90s steel frames are such a fantastic base to start with for your all around fun bike builds, they'll usually come in at 26 27 lbs with just a few minor updates & the ride quality experienced versus the 2 or 2 and a half bills spent is one of the best bargains you can get in cycling, sure, you need to put the work in & have the proper tools but the end result is a bad ass bike for half the cost of a Walmart bike, anyways great build, everything flows well together & i see you used the more supple Schwalbe over the Maxxis DTH 👍

Thanks so much; I couldn't have said it better myself! I haven't tried the Maxxis yet, but it's definitely on my list!

Great work, enjoying watching this video. I like how you restore it, how many lubes and professional tools you use in work. I have Gary Fisher Wahoo 2007, but almost nothing left from original. Your bike still keep original soul.

Thank you so much! Having the right tools for the job definitely makes restoring these bikes more efficient and enjoyable! I mainly use Park Tool products and have had great luck with them!

I just picked up a 94 Tassajara purple color and plan to convert to a 1x11. I like what you did with the Billy Bonkers. I might go that route myself.

The Billy Bonkers were really nice to work with, easy get on the rim and also pretty light; I would definitely recommend them

Why you putting the none drive side of the bottom bracket to the drive side ?

There is a vintage Shimano sealed BB unit (maybe it's an "S" or "E" model, something other than "UN") that is intentionally backwards. I have no idea why, but I've seen a few entry level Treks and now a Gary Fisher, that had this BB as stock and they were threaded oppositely. It definitely caught me off guard as well. Maybe someday someone will explain this "feature".

Nice job. I enjoyed watching this video. It was almost like meditation, listening to the background music as well. I should really start repairing my bicycle instead of handing it over to the bike repair shop all the time, although, I need to do some work to my garage, so, I will feel more encouraged to do that… I have a question? Is your Gary Fisher frame Steel or Aluminium with Steel/Chromoly forks? I have a 96’ Gary Fisher Tassajara with an aluminium frame and steel forks. I was thinking about getting my frame and forks sandblasted and powder coated to look like new, until I found out the thread on my forks has corroded and worn down after the headset stuck to it, and it cannot be rethreaded. So, I tried looking for identical forks for 26” wheels but can’t find any Gary Fisher ones in the U.K. on eBay, apart from in the US but they do look a little worn due to wear and tear, and the cost of shipping them here, on top of respraying my bike perhaps isn’t worth it. I had my Tassajara since 96’ when I bought it new. That being said, I saw an ad for a Gary Fisher Wahoo in red, similar to yours which is in excellent condition for £90 ($112.10) but I have to pay £63 ($78.47) to have it delivered from the north of England to the south of England. But unlike my Tassajara it has a steel frame instead of aluminium.

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the build, these bikes are a joy to work on, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go! This model Gary Fisher had a chromoly frame and fork, it’s a bit on the heavy side,,, I’d guess around 28lbs. Sourcing them is difficult here in Canada too… there are becoming rather expensive to find one in decent shape.
