Restoring this family relic for Eric Porter was fun and I feel like the bike turned out great. If you haven't already be sure to check out his channel @PorterMTB.

You are the man I have nothing but respect for your craft. I just got 2 antique bikes today. 2 seater back from the 50”s and a cruiser bike from the 70’s both are rusty. I never restored bikes before. You just motivated me

4 cross spoke lacing😊! It means that from the hub to the rim, every "pulling" spoke would cross 4 "pushing" spokes. As a young cyclist, i once read somewhere that this was by far 4 the best pattern, much better than the standard 3 cross. So it became like an obsession. And I managed to respoke all my bicycles: back wheel, front wheel, road race bike, track, even bicycles provided by my sponsor brand! Not sure it enhanced my performances, pretty sure no one noticed, but I kind of was proud of it. Thank you for reminding me of my competition years.

This brings back memories of my dad restoring his bike after he found it in his sisters cellar way back when I was maybe 9 or ten I’m 66 now and remember no pedals no seat no chain last time he rode it was beforeWW2 he stripped all paint all chrome was painted by his nephew who he gave it to but under the paint chrome was still good the color he painted was sky blue we rode around the neiborhood me on my stingray and him on his Columbia one day he gave to our town hermit And he rode it around

@johnnydoe66 3 года назад

I had a similar frame w/ that exact same stem that my Dad found in the junkyard and built it up with random salvaged parts. It a 20" wheeled bike and it had that exact style of crank and the skip chain chainring. My Dad hand filed every other tooth out of the rear gear and had an old skip chain he had found somewhere. I rode that bike all through the 70's until I cracked it from jumping wooden ramps.

Such a beautiful bike. The frame arc from the headset, past the seat and down to the back wheel hub is just so aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

@Nicoya Год назад

Spokes crossing above the valve stem? A bold choice! I weep seeing the unprotected bearings in those pedals, I hope this bike never gets left out in the rain. Another great build though, I would have been going crazy for years trying to find compatible parts.

@user-kb7ij6ye8u 3 года назад

Old bike shop trick for stuck seat posts is to fill the post with ammonia. Breaks the bond between aluminum and steel. 🙂

@lost68er1 2 года назад

I am currently building a Trek Multitrack as a single speed bike. I couldn't get the aluminum seat post out. Had to saw it off just above the frame and then slit it lengthways from the inside with a reciprocating saw ... You can't let the scrap win ;-).

Hello and many greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 You did an incredible job and I looked up the saddle and fell over what they cost today. So it’s definitely worthwhile restoring these old things, because as you said they have stories to tell. I think when you dived into the work you made your ideas who has ridden the bike . Take care and stay healthy and: keep on going 👍🍀🌞🚲🚲
