Nice job and as an old mechanic who has assembled hundreds of bikes here are some comments: 1) I like how those wheels magically got rebuilt after cutting out the spokes, rebuilding them is beyond most people skills. 2) Your front derailleur is mounted to high and will shift better if lowered. 3) Make sure your bottom spindle tapers are clean before attaching crank (no grease or oil). 4) Grease your chain ring bolts to prevent creaking. 5) Your stem should stick out some do not pound on it or set it so low. 6) Your front Quick Release should be on the same side as the rear one. 7) You need to drip oil or inject grease into the cassette body after you cleaned it. 8) You should grease all the cable wires before running them through the casings. 9) You need to toe in the brake blocks to prevent squealing when braking. 10) You should grease the seat post and stem before insertion. 11) Your tape seemed short as I would have wrapped it tighter with more overlap and it should have reached farther so that you only needed one wrap of electrical tape at the end. Just suggestions from an old mechanic............

I am amazed by how an absolutely thrashed looking bike can be restored to something you'd buy brand new. Fantastic job!!

I love this kind of restoration video. Haters are so quick to point out the discrepancies, but i doubt they'd have the reaolve to take on a project like this. I've also seen other videos where people with unlimited funding build perfection. This is a lovely representation of bringing a cool bike back to life with some aesthetic flair. Haters be damned!

That frame was screaming for a professional restoration with polished lugs/dropouts and a killer paint job.

Finally a video of someone restoring something worthwhile! I've been watching these bicycle restoration videos for the past few days and mostly the work done has been first-rate. The thing is they've been restoring Huffies, K-Mart and low end Schwinns.

I've done this 100 times and it never gets old. It's almost as enjoyable watching someone else do it. Certainly quicker!

I learned the hard way: don’t cut gear cables, detach. Some old downtube shifters, simplex for sure, have very small holes for the lead heads and new cable heads might need to be ground/ filed down to seat into the holes. Nowadays I don’t throw out or waste any old parts, cables included. Great video, thanks.

That frame is probably the best frame you will ever work on. It is a hand-built piece of art. The Brooks saddle was a nice touch.

I just love videos like this. So calming and interesting. Incredible how some hard work can turn an old rusty piece of trash into an amazing restored vintage masterpiece anyone would be proud to own.

Interesting video. It was pleasing to watch an old bike being restored with all the things I used to do (never pressed in headset races though). My only question: why have Shimano 600 shift levers and Sun Tour derailleur on a “Campagnolo” bike? I still ride my 1987 De Rosa every day and it’s nice to see the old maintenance skills endure.

Mr Coggie me encanta tu trabajó y dedicación, por tu canal me decidí a armar y arreglar mi bicicleta, saludos desde México!

Very nice restoration and video! As an oldtimer, can I just make a couple of comments? Most bikes of that era would have used a woven cotton tape (wouldn’t want to go back to that!), and the convention for positioning quick release skewers is that the levers should be on the left-hand side. I realise there will be all sorts of opinions on this, so no criticism intended.

It's enlightening to see bike culture in Manila. Reminds me of the late '70s in the US. The sport hadn't hit the US yet, but a bike boom followed the OPEC oil crisis, cars lined up outside gas stations, and aging Boomers, banging up their knees running for fitness, found cycling a very attractive alternative on many levels. Do you know how old that bike is and where it came from? The internal cables on the top tube were quite avant guard back in the eighties, and the brakes and cranks look older. Did the Campagnolo head badge come from the company or the builder paying his tribute to the brand? A very sophisticated interpretation of the finest Italian racing bikes of the era. Timeless! First class bringing it back to life!

What a gorgeous bike. My town got too hip and these gems were all snatched up. Hard to find any skeletons anymore

Less bankers and lawyers and more people like you in the world….bravissisimo

This is what I have been looking for. This is a real restoration, someone who only replaces what is necessary but tries to keep the original and respects the brand name. Great job, and the shots allow you to learn as well.

I would have loved to see those beautiful lugs painted to match the entry and exit ports on the top tube. However, a beautiful restoration. Thanks for sharing.

As far as I know, there are not Campagnolo bikes but components. But I liked this work very much. I liked the fact that you kept almost all the components and the bike did not change from its original design. Best of luck!

Awesome to watch - great job! Strange mix of old Shimano, Suntour, and a Campy front derailleur, with semi-modern "aero" brake levers thrown in! That old stuff really is bullet proof!

Beautiful restoration. I only wonder if the original paint could have been saved. It looked like it might of been in good condition after a good washing and polishing and a layer or two clear.

Very cool that you managed to keep so many of the original components. Interesting that it doesn't actually have a Campagnolo groupset!

To musiała być świetna wyczynowa rama, campagnollo do byle czego nie zakladali. Ja bym jeszcze wyeksponowal mufy tej ramy. Dobra robota. Pozdrawiam z Polski. .

This is restoration! Use everything, old spares and make it to work ! Beautiful! Well done !

That was beautiful work my brother u.s. security everything perfectly gave it life and love and that is the most beautiful thing to do I learned a lot of you cuz I'm experimenting on this bike that I got a 19 73 Bianchi take it all apart and I'm sanding down the paint my first time doing I appreciate your video I learned of it some of the stuff I hope I do a perfect job just like you did thank you again for the video God bless you and your family amen freedom 💜🤟😁🇺🇸✌️💜

Put the rusty bolts and stuff in vinegar or citrid acid over night next time :) liked the styling! good job!

Looks great, thanks for sharing. Polished lugs would have been extra sick. But polished lugs would have been many more hours of work. Such a killer ride.

Top shelf! Campy components stand the test of time. A little love and care goes a long way.

Nakaka satisfied lahat ng video 🌹 New biker here may matutunan talaga when it comes to restoration✨

I have a Puch Pacifica (Austro Daimler) bike with lugs exactly like that, the frame sticker says "Special Puch Tubing 482" and it had the complete Shimano 600 filigreed group originally. Your bike has a nice mix of components. I'm especially liking that you took the trouble to respoke the wheels! Looks great, and it must be a nice ride too.

I love watching these before falling asleep dude is a beast restoring bikes.

Nice work. I love the old Campagnolo components. So glad to see them restored.

I just found this page. I love it. Super chill, yet informative. Keep up the great work.

Epic restoration, I love the color scheme you guys have gone for this one. If I could, I would buy it from you guys and have it shipped to my country, but it won't be possible. The green and yellow combo feels kind of like a lemon themed bicycle. Very interesting restoration...

B e a u t i f u l , gorgeous vintage. ,restoring a 1985 raleigh now

It's awesome that you show every step. I watched through all of it and it's not just educational but also entertaining

You should have kept the straight lacing on the non drive side of the rear wheel. Also, kenda tires are big no-no Also, you shouldn't bang the stem in, that will scratch it and the bars will be too low.

I have too many comments, I'll just mention a few. A. The builder clearly has experience with this. Either he is self taught or worked as a bike mechanic at some point. 1. I don't think Campagnolo ever made bike frames. (Correct me if I am wrong here.) The closest thing would be the dropouts for for front and rear axles. I still own and occasionally ride a hand made 1983 Bianchi I got new from Italy. It has the Campy dropouts, but the rest is all Bianchi, (lugs made by Cinelli I believe) and Columbus tubing. I wish I could have completed the build with a full Campy group set, but I could barely afford the frame as it was at the time. That's kind of what I see in this bike also. In fact, most of the parts on this bike are NOT Campy. Someday I'll complete my build properly. But the vintage Campy parts keep getting more expensive though. 2. That appears to be a (Regina?) true 5 speed cluster, which would have been more likely for an older bike, but this one has internal rear brake cable routing and braze-on shift lever bosses. I think seven speed would have been the norm of the day then. 3. Do my eyes deceive me? You fit a rear hub into the front fork??? What are the external threads for? 4. So many other odd clues as to the vintage, such as the Zefal cloth rim tape, 36 spoke hubs, no braze on front derailleur mount, the Dia-compe stem and SR bars, and the early aero rims. Hard to put an exact date on this bike. 5. And yet the video was a joy to watch. Thanks Coggie Bike.

qu' elle merveille ce vélo est magnifique la restauration me laisse baba j'ai eu le même dans les années début 70 j avai fait rajouté les cales pieds et changé la scelle et ce fut mon premier vélo de course ma grand mère et ma mère voulait que j'ai un demi course j avai 10 ans et j ai expliqué que sinon qu' il faudra que je retire garde bou du coup je l'ai eu . En tout qu' à la restauration est sensationnel vraiment bravo

wew ganda lods.. iba ka talaga.. classic restoration... napa isip tulog ako pumunta sa mga nag bebenta ng mga 2nd hand bikes.. naka mka chamba ng classic bikes

This is actually a pretty sweet bike and parts. Totally worth the hard work

До чего же красивая рама у этого шедевра, это просто настоящее искусство, спасибо что даёте вторую жизнь этой красоте, С огромным уважением к Вам дорогой друг.

Wow wish ko rin maipaayos din ung bike ko Ganda talaga ng mga restoration mo

great job. Only one comment - the lugs and crowns should have been hand painted gold/bronze again and the original pedals would have been worth a fortune too.

Wow! Well done. I actually watched the entire video. The music added the final touch. Thanks for your time and effort. You got skills.

Bellissimo lavoro! Hai restaurato una bici meravigliosa conservandola per i posteri.Il risultato è bellissimo complimenti.

Now, this is a real restoration! How satisfactory! Thanks a lot for such a great work!

Looks cool, but why is the front hub threaded?

Nice lug work and top tube stoma for internal cable routing. Quality frame. Surprised no braze on for front derailer.

Amazing job. Thank you for sharing. I have a vintage Trek circa 1980's I just acquired and and planning a full restore.

Magnifique ! C’est de l’art à ce niveau là la restauration de ce vélo ! Bravo !

I could watch your videos all day. All the best from South Wales 🏴.

When I was 14 bought a secondhand flying scot with wing nuts on the wheels ,hurt down tube gears campagnolio gears a narrow brooks saddle surprisely comfortable. Powdersky blue in colour toe clips .would love to see one with all these original components. A craze in 70s teenager cycling were always swapping and changing components. Cranks,sprockes gears.handle bars mainly.

I was a good build. You can still improve your restorations by polishing the hardware like new. I'm looking forward to more restorations from your channel. 👍

That's beautiful.😃 That's wonderful.👍

Labour of love indeed. Odd that it had an english BB thread? The paint stripping phase is the worst and the painting spraying the most satisfying! I've done several trash to flash bikes, nice to give them a new lease of life. I do sell them on but hardly ever break even!!!

NAGKAROON ULI SIYA NG BAGONG BUHAY 🥰🥰🥰 GALING

Isa na nmn bike ang mabibigayan buhay🥰 More restoration to come goodluck and godbless kuya

Colda Sourced some Old Campagnolo Groupset Perhaps. NICE WORK THOUGH.

Lovely mechanical piece of art brought back to life.

I try to learn something new every day. Thanks for the video.

Great job bringing this classic bike back to life.

Watched till the end. Nice video for the evening, for relaxing. You are a talent. Great job. Nice color! Greetings from Ukraine.

A great transformation. Nice job in bringing it back from dead! Question on parts cleaning ... what was the liquid that was used? Vinegar? Degreaser?

I used, used brake fluid for paint remover. If you brush it on for about 4 days and keep it wet it will bush off with brass or plastic brush. After talking about it my friends give me their used brake fluid now. It works well it just takes longer and is free.

My Relaxation..lang kupas. Godbless idol

Looks real similar to the vintage of my first road bike. I had a very similar combination of components. Same exact crankset, front derailure and brake levers 😀.

This guy has basic tools, recyclable parts. No real shop kinda like me, I have link chains hanging from my basement to hang my bike. My man. Very cool. 😊

Young boy , very good restoration work .

That looks like a very nice frame. I wish you would have turned it upside down so I could see if it had an investment cast bottom bracket. The lugging on the frame and the holes for hiding the cables through the frame indicate that the frame was probably very expensive when new. I think spending more time cleaning and replacing some of the parts with original replacement parts would have been a better choice. Still a nice job. 👍☮️🌞🚲

Sekedar saran dari saya om. Coba sutingnya di 1 ruangan khusus biar bisa kayak cenel" di luar negri. Lebih estetik dan terlihat proper untuk sebuah cenel bike restorasion

There is no brand of bike campagnolo, that is an Italian company that makes bike components. The real frame builder was on the head badge

Fun to watch, but not really a "Campagnolo Bike." Looks like the only Campy components were the headset, front derailleur, and perhaps the wheels? As someone else pointed out, Campagnolo has never made frames or sold complete bikes, they just make components

Very nice good job😍🥰🥰🤩🥳🥳👏👏👏👏

Yes very much very good handyman keep it up good.

Nice restoration, polished lugs would have made it pop. Eather way great job, reminds me of the old bikes.

Another amazing content lodi... You never fail to amused us with your craftsmanship and dedication... Waiting for the next bike project... 👍👏

Nice job. Real bikes are made of steel.

Wow. That's more like a resurrection than a restoration. Salamat. :)

Amazing work as always! Cheers from Portugal

Dude. Why are you using an adjustable wrench on a bottom bracket cup? That's exactly how you begin to round off the edges. Don't you have a 28 mm flat wrench? Also top tip... Once you've loosened the bolt holding the crank arm in you don't have to keep turning it with the small end at the nut. Once it's broken free you put the log in to the nut and then you can just spin it with your fingers and comes out in a quarter of the time. I suppose these are just things I've had fixated in my mind from working in bike stores for 30 years

Nice job. I'm a little sceptical about the ease that everything came apart in the beginning... cranks off square tapers with no crank pullers?! And why would you start taking the bike apart without giving it a wipe down first. I would like to have seen more of how the frame was restored to. I'm not doubting this is a genuine repair... the dismantling just looked a little staged. Lovely bike though.

I prefer a darker green and darker leather on the steering wheel and on the saddle. But the bike looks really nice! Great work!

Уважуха!🤝😁Уважение к наследию прошлого!☺️

Great job! however, you should look into wrapping the handle bar tape around the brake levers in such a way that the tape wraps around the other way compared to the bottom part of the handle, or they will come undone eventually.

Dude I literally didn’t even watch the video yet but I had to drop a like just based off that thumbnail wow.

Front fork, QR sqeuwer should be on left, so can lock top, to rear.

Its amazing when passion, hardwork and experience turn into something like this.. more power to you bro looking forward to ur next video

I always use to take the goose neck bolt loose and bop it with a hammer and bars would slide right up I see a lot of people pull the bolt all the way out then half to fish out the bar wedge what a nice restoration tho

Great job, love the video! But it wasn't really too rusty, it was just dusty 😉

I commend anybody that puts an old forgotten bike back into usable condition. Not really enough campy gear here to warrant the title and a little more time cleaning and prepping would have produced better results. However from the starting point you have achieved a great result and a worthy project.

Desde Puerto Rico isla del encanto, el que sabe ,,sabe Desde 0 asta 100,te quedo super bien ,,no regales tu talentos o abilidad,,es una bendición de Dios,

Fantástico! Que color tan bonito le pusiste. A very well done video too

Looks like a quality English or French frame. The internal cabling is not common for the era. There is no Campagnolo but still it is a nice bike. Thanks for the nice video.

Nice bike! Interesting how the front wheel was radial spoked. And the rear wheel was radial spoked on the one side, and 2 crossed spokes on the freewheel side.

Really great experience, Campag were my idol when I was young, so innovative. Thanks for the body work tips.

You can never have enough grease 🙂 Lovely Job! Gorgeous Bike.

A Campagnolo bike with a Suntour derailleur? Also--Campy never made entire bicycles.

Bike looks great….!! Those newer rims though kind of clash with the look, some older box section Weinmann or Mavic rims would be a more period look. You should get a headset wrench and a bottom bracket fixed cup wrench and pin spinner, they’re not expensive .

Galing. Very amusing makita ang old bike being restored to its new Glory. More power boss. Looking forward na ma restore mo din boss old bike ko. Salamat! 😁
