In this episode I take my old 2012 Cannondale Jekyll 2, completely strip it, powder coat it, modernize some of the components, and put in a mullet frontend for a more modern geometry.

I think tan is such an underrated color. Matte tan looks amazing on the bike.

That was 1000X more interesting than "we built a new bike with the best parts" build or a "we washed a bike now its good as new hurr durr" build. Nothing better than watching a true artist and craftsman at work.

@svenfeldmann8255 3 года назад

Man, I do the same every winter to another bike out of our family. Same jobs, same tools, same torn black gloves... I love doing this in winter more than freaking out in the mud. Cool video!

@leonline3424 3 года назад

The best vids are of cool folk restoring and upgrading old 26 inch frames , far much cooler than showing off the latest I-shifter!

@jacobflores6479 Год назад

I restored like 5 older but high quality bikes with modern parts this year and sold them to new owners. So awesome to see those bikes with new parts. I didn’t go to your extent with new paint and everything but the bikes still looked ready to rip again 10 years later! Awesome to see someone doing the same.

@davidkeane2399 3 года назад

Ah dude! Thing I like most about this vid is how you remove your bearings with the press and a socket. I have a "tool" for doing that - couple of inches of threaded rod, two appropriately sized sockets facing each other (one the size of the bearing, the other larger to "receive" it being pushed out), washers outside those, and a bolt on each end. I then just apply pressure on each bolt and it pushes the bearing through. If you're careful enough you can invert the set up and push new bearings back in nice and square with the same thing.

@MetalHeadRCGarage 3 года назад

Thoroughly enjoyed the restoration. That desert tan looks killer!

@tyborg970 3 года назад

Absolute magic. As someone who has a modernized and modded 2010 Kona with adjustable geo and travel this is gold. I always loved the old Jekyll but hated the colour. I watch plenty of car restomod videos and plenty of bike build videos but this is money. The understated music with mechanical sounds was choice. Why don't more people do this? Bicycle hotrodding.

Hej Andrew, you are doing a great job! Respect that you paint it youself and exchange all of the smallest parts and pieces! Its gonna be like a brand new bike! And you have the videographic skills as well, that really helps showing the beauty of restoring the bikes! Great videos=D Coming over from your Photography Channel, one of my favourite Fuji channels, and i love that you are beside that also a bike enthusiast! And, doing both amazingly well! Congrats and all the best for the upcoming year!

@jameswilson2815 3 года назад

I'm doing the same thing to my 2004 Jekyll. You wanna talk budget build? I'm the king. Mechanical disk, 3x9, 1inch bars, it's been a long road, especially living in Hawaii where parts and skilled bike mechs such as yourself are rare. We're also not known for bike trails either. But it's a beautiful place to cruise around. Loved your video! And you have a freaking SAND BLASTER ! Stay well. Mahalo and Aloha!

@benjaminsmith9534 3 года назад

That was an awesome restore and upgrade, I thoroughly enjoyed that! Something that may assist in the future, if you weed the excess vinyl before installing the decal it may help things go a bit more smoothly for installation and save you a few minutes.

All hail ALLOY!!! I don’t give a shit who thinks that CF is King...they’re hyped garbage. Aluminum survives! Amazing video! I have torn down and restored at least 4 “old friends” over the last 20 years...the therapy in disassembling an entire bike, replacing all of its consumables...blasting, painting, powder coat, polishing...each one is the same friend, maybe not better, but ready for more years of riding to come!
