Strip the paint. Use the torch or a bonfire on the whole frame to develop more colors in the metal. The resulting patina will be uneven and rustic. Clear coat the bare frame. Place factory decals. It will look epic.

@2NDLIFEBIKES 4 месяца назад

Ohhhhhh this is going to the top of the list!! MORE FIRE!!

@durden.tyler537 4 месяца назад

Yeah! Play around with burning paint, oil, dyes, the stuff you dyed the S crankset, or adhesives into the metal for more varied colors. It’ll look like an unearthed artifact!

@UK10TV 3 месяца назад

Yea totally! Go for this look. Can we also get another sticker restock please? I keep missing out on my faves and the last ones sold way quicker than anticipated. Great vids man, very enjoyable, thank you.

@thefranconian6087 4 месяца назад

Sleeper, most definitely. I do like the slight burn to existing paint then clear coat for an original effect. Whatever you do it’ll be fun!

@Dave_Bike 4 месяца назад

Sleeper for sure! Maybe even tape off the burnt area and paint it a bright colour to protect the bare metal

@redacted2763 4 месяца назад

I love how your videos give a relaxing chill vibe. They make me want to relax and get to work on a bike at the same time.

@madisondeans5566 4 месяца назад

Sleeper,of course😉👌....oh,another fun video!

Clear coat straight over the burnt bits ;)

@OliverWallaceStories 2 месяца назад

One idea: you could have drilled the seatpost and put a long nout (like an 120mm M8 nut) through it - then clamp the post where the nut is so the nut stops the post rotating ing the vice

@johnbaca8692 4 месяца назад

That was quite exciting!!! Burning and lubing may have loosened the post, so that you didn't tear the seat tube! I like the previously mentioned idea of clearing over the burned paint. That's part of it's history.

Definetly #3. rat bike/sleeper style has alkways been my way to go on cars/vans/motorcycls or bicycles! DO IT!

@kipcc3918 4 месяца назад

Go for a burnt or heated paint effect, Take out the old paint. And definitely a modern groupset.

@JamesSeale2575 3 месяца назад

I’d like to know what sleeper ideas get into the comments ❤ number3 for sure!

I know I'm supposed to say sleeper, but I love your crazy paint jobs, and would love to see another.

What I did after I got my seat tube out, was get the drill bit extension that you can use Allen keys to lock it down. Get some 1” cylinder flapper disks, and essentially hone out the seat tube. Use normal corrosion protection as well! Great job getting it out!

@steelisreal4313 3 месяца назад

I need more info, what are 1" cylinder flapper discs?

@doggylover1958 4 месяца назад

Sleeping Rat-bike please, with decent mechanicals and saddle/bars to make 100 miles as comfortable as it can possibly be. You really captured the great atmosphere at Marlon’s in this video, thanks, I loved it.

@ArnoldQMudskipper 4 месяца назад

3, or.... 4: fade in a contrasting colour, from the burnt bits to the turquoise

@rosa__lux692 4 месяца назад

This was so satisfying

@sandy_knight 4 месяца назад

Has anyone suggested dry ice (frozen CO2, available from plumbers merchants) yet? You use it to freeze the seatpost which causes it to shrink and once you have it as cold as possible you gently heat the frame/seat tube causeing it to expand. Alfredo Mancuso covered it on his channel "What Happens When You Freeze a Bike? This Shop Owner Finds Out!"

Nice work Marlon.

@irenecraggs6123 4 месяца назад

nice work its hard to get a stuck seat post out usually the frame is toast👍

@drpulpit 3 месяца назад

Thanks!

@charlesmansplaining 4 месяца назад

You're putting all this work into it and replacing parts, you should get the frame sand blasted then powder coat paint. Absolutely the most durable option that should get you many many more years with the bike and it won't become an eye sore again that you don't want to ride.

@cradleofphill 4 месяца назад

Sleeper for sure, leave that burn in it 👍👍

@steelisreal4313 3 месяца назад

I bought a vintage bonney jab saw for a stuck seat post. Second buy a diablo quality or similar higher quality hack saw blade to make job easier. Have patience as it takes a while

@steelisreal4313 3 месяца назад

Almost forgot, make sure saw is long enough to cut full length of seatpost

@tonypotter9578 4 месяца назад

Success!👊

Sand to bare metal then spray with clear. No gun blue. If it should rust it'll just look cool.

@rockhoundphil 4 месяца назад

Rat bike or 4. Strip paint and use gun blue (old shovel did this a few years ago)

@ozenfant_ozn 4 месяца назад

i tried that too after i saw the vid. looks cool AF when finished, but it def didn't stop any rust. may work in the desert tho.

@rockhoundphil 4 месяца назад

@@ozenfant_ozn old shovel finished his with a clear coat.

Marlon’s a cool guy, that’s a great place he’s running. If the green booze lights didn’t sell, are they still up for sale? Thx

@stephencrowfoot244 4 месяца назад

Would have helped to remove the orange jkt so viewers could see what you were doing. Yes, beware of internal corrision, particularly at the bottom brkt!, the tin worm never sleeps! :)

@75jonlaw 4 месяца назад

Sleeper rat bike all day everyday, bit more burning and some original paint here and there!

@ReCycledCycler 4 месяца назад

Burn more paint of random as hell, hit it with 800-1000 grit, clear coat it in Matt, Advent X drivetrain, rear rack(they are cheap as, and really good on longer rides, fenders(even in the summer nothing worse than dog s+@t flying up at you) and then maybe budget build thinking, that way it could be a like “I built this bike to compete in this race and only spent ???? to do so, proper crusty. Maybe even go 26 X 1.5 for speed, running them at 70-80 psi will have you rolling very well.

@kevindoidge3211 4 месяца назад

Rat look - maybe burn the rest of the paint on the frame, then clear coat it to protect it - be proper ratty then!

@andypicken7848 4 месяца назад

Craig its got to be the rat. Making it look as scruffy as possible will not be easy but if you do a good bad job at least nobody will want to steal it
