Great job men! Only thing i would improve is the applying the handle bar tape with the oposite overlap as you did because it tends to gets ruinned faster like that.
You can do this to early Cannondales. Have a 1986 M300 frame, polished out, running first gen, medium reach Shimano 600 brakes, Shimano R500 rims. Run Shimano 105 derailleurs. Kept the fork so I can run 32mm tyres and mudguards. 😎
Footage at 7:28 tells us that the MTB frame at the beginning was not used in the project as the rear v - brake bosses were shown at the beginning but not during painting at the bookmark . There was no evidence of brake boss removal ! Also , the internal cable entry points in the top tube !
5:44 you ca see stains from angle grinder where the "brake holders" used to be on the top tube. He must have drilled the the holes for the internal cable then, but he does not shoes it, indeed.
Hey, the previous frame that haven't yet restored has external holes from the top tube.. but in the after scene the frame is now internal cabling. what the the hell???
They don't show it on the top tube, but on the back side they flex of some stuff from the frame. I can imagine they flexed off the cable holders on the outside and just drilled some holes in the frame.
@@ohmingfeng9351 He has a point, even with a rubber mallet bringing the cups out on an angle will flare and distort the ends of the head tube. the proper tool for removal isn’t expensive. All said it is a nice build and lots of good work.
@@carltorres1006 The tool you want is a headset cup extractor. It has one end to hit and the other end is split into tongues that spring outwards. It can pass through the opposing cup and let’s you drive the cup out square
Я одного не понял! Дуалы Sensah iGnite идут же на 2x9, а тут кассета на 7 скоростей! Они должны по переключению не будут совпадать или криво, тем более не понятного рода кассета. Ну и цепь тоже на 9S.
at 3:03 and 3:10 are two different frames. check the top tube cable guides and the bottom bracket, and also the break mounts. ((sorry, my apologies for my mistakes and overlook, please read darrell1829's comment.))
it is the same frame. at 3.10, the frame is upside down (notice the Specialized is inverted). also at 3.10 you cannot see the bottom bracket shell or the top tube rear brake/shifter routing. that's because you wouldn't see those when bike is upside down
It wasn't shown how the cables were passed through the frame for the rear gears. The older frame had holders which these were removed for the newer version and some holes at an angle had to be drilled into the frame which aren't straight forward to do, but weren't shown in the video. At 16:36 old version and then 17:32 and 17:38 for the newer version.
@@SimonGrech I don’t know exactly because once he starts to strip the paint off the frame. The cable guides on the top tube aren’t there anymore. Once the paint is fully stripped off that is when you see the holes for the internal cable routing. Unless he did this off camera and forgot to document the process. Then that’s awesome he was able to do that but if he swapped frames then that’s deceiving. As you mentioned being able to drill a hole at angle isn’t an easy task. Also guiding the cable from one end to the other end without installing internal tubing… It’s doable but requires skill and custom fabrication.
What product did you use to remove old painting please? That product was magic, how long do you have to wait for brushing remove ? Great job, and I agree a double crank fits a urban/road bike type (kindda hybrid model makes sense to me).

Hey RG! i wanted some help im completely to all this stuff and i had an old FireFox TEMPEST 6S 2017 mtb lying around i thought of doing a fixie build, is it doable? and if so, what parts do i need?
If you're looking to do a fixed gear conversion, it will be difficult or just impossible because the rear dropout won't accept a fixed gear wheel, so you'll somehow have to find a fixed gear hub or wheel that has the same spacing as a MTB wheel. There will also be many issues with the chain tensioning. A single speed conversion is definitely possible, however.
10:26 I’m assuming it’s a 36H hub laced with 12 spokes each side, for 24H lacing. Although it seems both drive side and non drive on both wheels are laced radially. That rear wheel I doubt is strong
@@necrossis that's what I'm talking about. This is pure crap. He wasted so much time to "resurect" this old bike and made that rather serious mistake. Wheels are most important parts.
And your privilege is glaring. Come on not everyone can afford for mtb Deore XT, or even 105, for Road. 10 year old Dura ace is still $1500. In some places you get what’s available second hand. It’s still beautiful, you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither is fact. This guy did a great job with what he could. RS- Magaling ang iyong ginawa
It depends on client requests at the end of the day . That is how I run my repair and projects business . Transposing frames raises questions if the mountain bike was a 26'er .
@@jinnij.caimanThis bike might not be a genuine s-works at the first place, cuz there was never such a factory build at all times. And I don't think anyone will buy a separate superbike frameset and put commuter grouper on it. The most probable situation could be that this super bike was stolen and resold as a commuter bike, and its second "owner" had no idea how much it was worth, then replaced its groupset with a real commuter one.
Paint job is really beautiful, and I also like the idea to route the cables internally and take off the brake bosses on the seat stays. Honestly surprised to see the road rim brake fits on the bridge and reach the rims - neat! Not so sure about the choice of components: If it was me I had rebuilt the wheels with the XT hubs that came with the bike (and which are high quality and serviceable), and complemented it with a used 9- or 10-speed Ultegra group set - perfect match for that frame and budget friendly. The bar tape is wrapped too loose and will come off all too soon.
Since the spokes of the rear wheels are radially knitted, there is a risk of damage due to poor drive transmission efficiency. The rear wheel should be tangent knitted because the shaft torque is applied. Since the front wheel does not have shaft torque, either radial knitting or tangent knitting is acceptable.
Геометрия лимузина, зачем ставить узкую покрышку, лучше бы поставили 700*45 смотрелось бы куда лучше И вместо крабов лучше поставить бы кантрийные тормоза, под крепление v-brake. Ну и обвес это просто ужас..
Nice, BUT, considering doing something similar i would keep it simpler and les risky (modding the frame is cringe to me). Keep the frame as is, drop in some nice cantilevers (XTR) and skinny 26" tires (maybe custom buil them. Mount old Dura Ace with big gears to compensate for the 26" wheels (second hand old 10sp Dura Ace is cheap). Call it a day.
The volume of a 26" MTB tire is much bigger than the road ones, so the total diameter of the wheel is not that far from a 700c. Also the chain stay is fairly long on MTBs, sometimes they can acomodate bigger wheel sizes, but it's possible to see in the video that the new back wheel is a little closer to the seat tube. Edit: Went look for some numbers, wheel size is rim+tire. So 700c wheels are (no surprise here) 700 mm or 27,56", so in a 26" bike (660 mm) you only need your frame to clear the extra diameter divided by 2, so 20 mm (0,79").
Gravel bike? Edit: Actually I gave it a little more thought, without the suspension de BB would lower a bit and make the head tube angle steeper, maybe not a road race bike geometry, but certainly not a MTB either.
@@hsanper If you like it and ride it - it’s a great bike for sure. There’s nothing wrong with building unusual custom setups, it just have a MTB geometry, that was my point.
If you put a road fork on a 26er intended to be used with a suspension fork, you'll end up with a really steep head tube angle! Even if you use a ~400mm ATC gravel or CX fork substituted for a 80mm travel fork, you'll end up with about a 75 degree head tube angle and of course, very little trail. With a shorter fork, it will be even more extreme. Yeah, you can ride it and get used to it, but it both is difficult to make it go straight down the road, but paradoxically, it is difficult to initiate a turn because there is so little wheel flop. If you had a fork with very little offset, I suppose it could help?
I did it. I picked up a no name 26” aluminum frame cheap on sale, and put various spare parts on it that I had laying around, and made 26” road bike with disc brakes for city commuting. I can’t say honestly that I approached it with any kind of clear plan, but I was pleased with the results though. It tracks perfectly stably and is quite comfortable, probably because of the longish chain stays. The handling is razor sharp, perfect for a city bike, you just have to think and it goes there. A little intimidating at first but quickly becomes natural. I recently replaced the 120 mm stem & mini bars with a 40 mm stem and drop bars, and it became indeed very stable, for its second life as a gravel touring bike. I’ve toyed with the idea of trying it with 700c wheels, it has the necessary clearance.
@@pakamataykanangboboka No its not, even my 1996 Rockhopper has a changeable rear mech hanger, and you would never find Tourney on an S-WORKS bike! The only thing that possibly could be found on an S-WORKS mtb is the XT hubs. The frame alone would be quite collectable so grinding of the V-brake bosses would be stupid on a real S-WORKS frame. This guy is doing a really good job restoring this bike, its just annoying that he has to use click-bait.
Y por que no se ve como hace los agujeros en el cuadro para esconder los cables? En la mtb se ve que van fuera y despues en la de carretera se ve k van escondidos. Me hubiera gustado ver como metia los cables
@@giulianos9345 Because it's a joke, just the beginning of the video discards the rear bases of the brakes which is very dangerous for the future (cracks). The video is there purely for buzz. Last thing, the video is entirely edited because there are two or three things where I remain literally skeptical and no bike restorer would do such a thing
