Rusty Restores/Updates a 1995 Trek 930 with a 1x11 Spd drive train, an overhauled fork, and a lot of mismatch parts from the early 2000's. Stick around for the big reveal at the end. Part nostalgia, part bike tech.

Those Trek 900 series are flat out awesome bike frames. They are straight and true. So easy to turn one into anything you want it to be. I recently had all the paint stripped off a '91 lugged frame 970 and was surprised to see Trek actually used expensive Silver brazing to attach the cantilever brake bosses to the frame. Now that is quality!

My first ever mountain bike was in 1990 and it was an $199aud Repco 10 speed. It was steel, steel wheels, white with fluro yellow forks. I’d dream of stuff like this when I was a kid. I’ve just bought a vintage project, it’s a Gary Fisher Joshua X1. I can’t imagine what I would have done to own it back when it was new.

@@CoolBikeProjects Until I bought this one (actually, I’ve bought 2, shhhh) I’d never heard of, or seen one before. I really love their look though, it’s the shape I think of when I think of an awesome mountain bike. I was thinking I’ll build one up original, and maybe the other one I’ll respray in fluro yellow and pink, like a real 90’s badass type of 2 tone. I’m not sure though because I also love their look, perhaps I’ll make them reversed, like one black and white and the other white with black. Dunno. I’ll have to wait until they’re here and I can get a really good look at them. I’m excited though.

Been agonizing about whether or not to replace my Trek 930, which has taken me across Iowa 3 times since 2011, as well as other short and long-distance rides in Florida and Missouri. I love my 930 and have a special connection with it, as my cousin helped me with my purchase decision back in 1998. I decided on a tune-up and will take it back to Iowa this year for the 2021 RAGBRAI. It's not the fastest ride, but it's reliable and it makes me happy.

I had a purple Trek 930 . Was purchased new back in 1993. It was stolen from my garage when it was less then 6 months old.......never bought another one. The other day I came across a 1994 Trek 850 SHX for sale In my frame size. Guy selling it said its been sitting for years in his utility room. Looked it over and the bike was dirty and cruddy but everything is intact with no damage . Frame has a few minor scratches , nothing major. No rust anywhere. Oh, and it had a kickstand LOL With a lot of cleaning and degreasing, plus some TLC its going to be a good ride and well worth the 35 dollars he wanted for it. If I decide not to keep it I will gift it to a deserving young kid that needs a bike. I think I may have found something new to keep me going at age 67.

Hey great film! I am a Trek steel frame lover too! A few yrs ago I bought a blue 1999 930 for 10 bucks, fixed it up (all it needed was new cables all around, some new tires/tubes, a grease job and a bit of fine tuning) and won my first race on it! Had a lot of time to ride back then, was between jobs at the time. Shortly after I bought a pink 1995 930 and restomodded it with some rigid forks, new pedals, street tires, and stem/bar off a modern Specialized. That one was a bit more neglected but it cleaned up very nice. Love the lugged frames from those earlier years, although the geometry isn't that great for descending but it doesn't matter to me since I turned it into an around town bike. For these old forks like the ones you put on this Trek, where do you go to buy rebuild kits/seals, etc for them?

@CoolBikeProjects Год назад

Hi Roderick- I honestly don't know. It would be best to go to a trusted bike shop and ask them to measure things for you first before you buy something. Stand Bottom bracket shells were either 68mm or 73mm so that will be the first measurement you can check. Spindle lengths can be all over the place.

Best wishes on starting your channel! Tips: 1- Let the camera roll and edit out or speed up the unnecessary parts. 2- Change up angles as often as you can, so the audience can see the details. 3- record as much sound as you can. Some people like the sound of the ratchet or the sounds of the bolts loosening. 4- Be cool to everyone.

@@KAlone321 That is awesome! Way to go guys. Since I went to a 1x11 I was able to borrow the cable guide that went to the front derailer as a stop. You don't want to use the tiny brake tubing by the seat post as you said it will be way too tight. I would suggest running the brake housing as a solid line from the level to the v-brake with noodle. If you want a cleaner line you can use some stick on brake guides just as a guide. If you are happy with your hose clamp then keep it.

Hi Kathy, Thanks for reaching out. This was a 16.5" frame. I am 5'7'' so this fits me well, particularly with the taller fork. The 18" might be be a tad on the small side for you, but without seeing one built up it's hard to say for sure. You might check with your local bike shop to get their thoughts with your measurements. Best of luck.

I'm 6 feet tall and with set back seatpost and long stem 120mm I made 18 inch fame fit me a gt tenquesta if it's good shape and price is good I say go for it just expect alot of seatpost showing and the bike to feel small for your size but it could be great bike to ride around town with the kids on bike paths or as errand grocery better with couple racks or rainy day bike with fenders

great edit! I picked one of these 930 frames up recently to restore as well, looking forward to it. Do you by chance recall what size King headset the frame needed?

@CoolBikeProjects 2 года назад

Thanks Aaron. Its a standard 1 -1/8”

@@CoolBikeProjects in the process of finishing up my 930 but running into cable routing issues for the rear brake - do you use that little tube on the seat post if you convert to V brakes? I have been just routing some hosing around it but I think its causing a kink or something because the brake lever doesn't spring back when applying rear brake now. May end up taking everything apart first and making sure it is well lubricated and the spring tension on the caliper arms is strong enough. Cheers!

Nice looking bike but poor quality control or poor transport.Rear wheel has major issues right out of the box. ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Rear axle is bent! Derailleur is misaligned.Since the rear wheel comes assembled I would have expected better.Assembly instructions poorly written, but that was not unexpected...just annoying.I just had the bike checked at a shop and was told that I should contact the seller about getting a whole rear wheel assembly with cartridge. (The bike shop could not do anything to help me).Not a good experience with this bike, so lesson learned.Added 3 stars for excellent customer serviceUpdate Sept 8 2020Just received a complete replacement wheel for free. Great service and an otherwise fine bike.

Great video. I have a 930 but I don't know what year it is. Any idea on how to determine what year mine was made? This is under the bike "WTU2258599P T BI-0406"

@CoolBikeProjects Год назад

There are a number of Trek history websites where you can punch in both of those serial numbers and I will tell you exactly what year it was made

@karoltakisobie6638 3 года назад

On my 930 the only thing I changed was butterfly handlebars and raised them up. Bike is perfect for street beating.

Great job, how old is that and how old is the trek badland special edition was iron too, I had badland trek special edition in the 2004 i bought by owner in Evanston IL, work good but someone stolen from me I feel sad but is okay, in 2009 i moved from Chicago to Pennsylvania and then I bought a trek 3500 I got in Hampton used the same history from owner his son went to the university he didn't used, I bought for a one hundred dollars was a good deal he want more but I tell to him I need to buy some components and lowered the price, I bringing to Mexico still working good, I having from twelve years. I want to get the crank and fix the fork rockshox and ready to run again

It helps to know what the hell you're doing lol. Bought mine in Beaverton Or. 1997. Added Judys.. it's still in good condition, spends a lot of time on it's hanger. Prefer riding my MC these days, I must be getting lazy.

@playa318 3 года назад

Going from a 63.5mm drop to 100mm drop seems significant. Was there any real negative to changing by this much? Would you recommend restricting it to 80mm instead?

@CoolBikeProjects 3 года назад

Excellent question. This particular year of the 930 the geometry of the frame had the right head angle to accommodate the longer fork. It's best to set up a bike project with the fork in the frame and wheels on the ground to make sure the head angle is not pitched back too far. I am working on another bike project like this and experimenting with fork length to get the right angle. Sometimes you will need to keep it to 80mm.

I love the fact that you repainted the fork's legs! It really suits the bike. I'm considering doing the same with a vintage bike of mine, because the new fork I'm planning on installing is a bit bland. The original fork has that bare polished aluminum look, and I'd like to see if I can replicate it - or at least give the new fork a light silver metallic finish that would have it match the finish of the old stem and bars.
