I love all the attention to detail and obsession with period correctness. There are so many channels that show good mechanics, but all the shrewd mixing and matching is my jam and this is one of my new favorite bike channels.

@red_dread 11 месяцев назад

Wow. This is my number one favourite out of all your builds. Absolutely perfect. Every detail complements each other. Almost impossible to pick a highlight, you simply can't beat Turbo, Exage, grey tyres, that late 80s/early 90s teal with the rock fragment graphics, but for me I'd say the level of intricacy around the bars, bar tape, lever hoods and shifter setup is next level. Few professional bike shops would do it that well.

@garysprojects 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much !! High praise from the Don himself , I am honored 🙌🙌🙌 I did spend a bit of time working out the bar tape & cables haha but had to do it until I was happy with it ! Cheers mate means a lot thank you 😊😊🙏🙏

You can use Evaporust for situations like that rusty brake boss on the fork. Wrap it with paper towel and then saturate the paper towel with Evaporust. Wrap the area with cling film and check it in 24 hours.

@johnsheetz6639 2 месяца назад

Yeah I've been binging a few of these restos because I just picked up a couple 90s bikes cheap off Facebook. It seemed to work good I know one time years ago I got this stuff called rust remover put a chain in there that was a little kinked up and I came back to a pile of rust! Look to the ingredients a head sulfuric acid in it 😮

@bressanjuanagustin8718 11 месяцев назад

Dude i admire your precision, love your hard work and the camly way you explain every step, pretty jealous about how you manage to make every build without having every specific tool, but men, your sense of estétic is unbelievable. You are definitely a bigger artist than a bike mechanic, and that's a lot to say. Keep going mate. hardly understand how this channel isn't bigger, it's just unfair! Big hug from argentina!

for the headset cups, it is a must to install one at a time (never both at the same time). surely helps esp when it didn't go the proper fitment and if so, at least, you'll be fixing just a single cup. hope this one's a dig. cheers on your build, stay stoked 🏄🏿‍♂️

If some people here just knew how much people were paying in the 90s for something they consider garbage they have a whole new appreciation for what this man is doing. There was a lot of successf down with The sickness tha wouldget smoked by an Ozark trail that's out now. There is a special place in my heart for these old 90s mountain bikes. I would buy a magazine just to look at them back then. I mean that three-piece crank you can't tell me that's not a work of art. There's nothing but stampef garbage nowadays.

Ive made that mistake with leaving the bolt in the crank. Was annoyed coz i did remove the other side, i just wasnt thinking. I was cranking down like man this is hard lol and then the tool came out and took some threads with it. Luckily the crank was destined for the bin anyway Also i do the same with for a breaker bar, a pole over a spanner lol. I like your videos, you remind me of me when i work on the bike. Like do a good job but pretty chill about stuff and improvise like that The part about wearing gloves while you didnt wear gloves made me lol
