You are a genius, dear friend Comet. This bike that you restored was spectacular !!! Congratulations as always. I love watching your videos. Greetings from Argentina to you.
To be fair it was pretty low spec, i really dont see why he didnt spend the 12 dollars and upgrade to a sealed bottom bracket. Plus here in canada we pull norco's, giants, scotts out of the dumps. But people tend to ditch bikes in sub zero conditions lmao
@@Captor_ That honestly the saddest thing to hear to me. Here in Texas, it’s rare to even find bikes being thrown out. Let alone some nice brand bikes.
@@SilveradoOutdoors0205 i agree im in pennsylvania and people ask a arm and a leg for cheap walmart bikes i wish i could find some old nice mountain bikes i did just score a nice specialized xc pro for 200 bucks so i am really excited about fixing it and getting back into riding
Great video! Here in the UK, our local refuse centers have loads of old bikes, many have just been thrown away because people cannot be bothered to deal with an issue that stopped the bike from working. I've picked up almost new bikes with nothing more than flat tyres!!
Lucky you, Matt. I am Spanish and here, those things...sadly do not happen. I used to live in your country (Oxfordshire) and I really miss the access to good bargains in the UK. Books, music, clothes, bikes... The worst part for me was to pay the rent every month, as it was crazy expensive, but those good things compensated it LOL Kind regards!
Despite the paint job is clean and good, did frame required it at the first place? Also, maybe You could work on decals on other parts like crank, stem or handlebar? Good work, take care.
Thats because this brake system doesn't actually pull the brake... it pushes the housing instead. You'll notice if you study the video, he even pulls out a 'Pear End' cable to start with. Look up pear end brake cables. They're more common than you think..
