My son found this bike for me at the thrift store - it was not in good shape, it looked like it had spent a good chunk of the last 15 years in the rain and the sun. Rusted parts and faded paint, it was in need of a refresh.

A great calming way to start my Sunday morning. I have always wanted to be that guy in the neighborhood that all the kids come to to get their bikes fixed and you my friend have actually done it. The kids will always remember you and the fun adventures you helped them have. Keep up the good work.

Ahh,nothing's better than starting the day with a cup of coffee and an Oldshovel video. The quality of the videos and content are consistent.The ASMR qualities of this video is aslo spot-on.Not to forget that every bike he restores here means one less bike to the junkyard.

Hi from the UK! I had to comment as I've just binge watched most of your build videos. I love the way you shoot your videos, using the gentle twang of a spoke, the crack of a stubborn bolt or the threading of some new cables instead of a harshly voiced commentary or badly mixed stock backing track like some other you-tubers do. I love your honesty and charity in your approach to the builds and the philosophy you have in life generally. Please keep on doing these resto-mod / renovation themed builds, they are honestly some of the only RU-vid videos I uncontrollably do an 80's rock ballad video powerfist to when they pop up. Also, your paintcan skills are definitely getting better and better each time; I'm thinking of trying one of my own frame resprays. Ciao!

This channel has reawakened my love of mountain bikes, and a duey eyed nostalgia for 80s/90s era bike culture. When you gift a child a bike it's a metaphysical thing, you're handing them a key to their first experiences of freedom and exploration. It should never be underestimated, and your videos capture all of those feelings. Thanks

I don't know why Rob but there's something in your videos that many of us feel soo calming & addictive 😄. I wish there was someone like you in my city region who could put more emphasis on giving Old bikes a new life and setting a trend for cycling culture. (Inspired of you , I'm too, seeking to restore my old bicycle :) But alas , restoration is damm heck of a task due to lack of spare parts, rebuilds & high cost in my city /country ) Thanks alot for giving all those bikes a new Life , Keep going Rob with your immaculate restorations 👌🏼👍🏼 Stay Healthy ,Stay Safe 😊

I like your videos and the personal way you tell the story. Me and my brother we are getting old now, we have been building bikes for different purposes since we were kids. Our kids are grown and most of the everyday worries has been polished away so we had really gone into restoring old bikes again and I can really relate to the satisfaction on your builds, thanks for posting!

Big fan! Great to see you hit the refresh button on a perfectly functional bike. You have learnt to do it by the book I see, at this stage (compared to older vids). I would have regreased the wheel bearings but hey, where's my vids lol. I so enjoy your work. I've been doing this for 13 years, nothing new to me. I've definitely gotten plenty of fresh ideas from you, cheers for that. Keep them coming and happy trails.

Nicely done. I'm a bmx-er since the early 80's and restored my '81 CYC Ames Stormer just last year. Now, I'm planing to restore my old early 2000 MTB and this video gave me an idea on how I will (probably) do the paint job. Thanks for being an inspiration to many.

I had a gary fisher very similar to that one. I rode it to school every day and all summer for years. I even took it to college with me. Eventually i outgrew it physically (long ago) and as a rider, and gave it away to a new mountain biker who adored it. I love my carbon trek 9.8 but sometimes I still think about my gary fisher and wonder where it's ended up.
