Hey everyone, check out the description then leave a comment if youโd like! Thereโs a light build list in the video description and a couple links ๐ค Some of the clips have a bit of wind noise so I think Iโll get a wind reduction thing for some of the windier days, going forward.
Cheers! ๐ซถ๐คฉ
See you in the next video!
I like when you show videos of you riding the bike down town
31:15 wow I'm with this intention and boom by aleatory you doing hehehe, nice bike by the way
That's an awesome bike! Nice work!
I was super impressed with how you handled those TINY bearings! wow! I would have lost half of them. And you did it while wearing gloves! Great video, I enjoy watching people taking older machines and making them useful again. Thank you for sharing!
I liked the riding footage too. I was impressed with the variety of non-automobile transport other people were using as well. Where I live 99.9% of people use automobiles and if the ride it's an exercise bike indoors.
Try barking at people. They tend to move faster.
Nice! I worked on this same frame as a courier for years! Hey, get rid of the pepperoni death trap fork though, those were recalled because alloy forks are sketchy as hell and always fail. The headtube is 1 1/4, so you can easily put a 1 1/8 threadless headset and fork with a problem solvers adaptor. ๐ค
Thanks for your inspiration. I just refurbished an '90s Giant Nutra. Cleaned up the rust with brushes, coke and aluminum foil. Kept the patina on the bars, frame and seat post. Added a new saddle, grips and fenders. Looks and rides great.
I have a huge SM Cannondale thats the same colour blue as the back of the one in this video. 22 inch frame, 1 inch head tube. Came as full suntour XCE
Why not use a paint stripper on the frame & polish it up nice, seeing as it's alloy?
Renaissance cycles (where this bike was originally purchased) was my bike shop growing up. It still exists today. The new owners (hilltop ie specialized) kept the renaissance name since it has some history.
Why would you "usually use cantilevers" – to stay true to the time the bike came from? V-brakes break much better, which makes them the more reasonable choice IMO if you intend to use the bike. Great vid!
Didn't listen.
At first I was like "hope he wouldn't repaint it", cool
Nice bike, deserves better transmission as for me
Frame is so cool, you can build cannonrocket out of it
Hookworms are great. Iโve had 26โ & 29โ.
This old bike looks more elegant than my 2017 Foxter๐คฆโโ
what type of rims were you useing on this project im building ah dh mtk by kent ah centry of cycling ,called ah dark angel. 26 1.75 never heard of this custom bike but i own one ,so im looking to up grade it. with new quick release skewer of good qaulity
90s MTB, swept back bars, ESI grips, WTB Pure V. Nice to see someone with good taste
Your voice sounds really friendly and sympathetic. It makes it enjoyable listening to your explanations ๐
Brilliant build. I had an M300 back in the 90's, it was so light.
Hi Adam! Do your 1x builds have chaindrop when backpedaling? If so how do you work around it? I like 3x's but seeing your builds especially this one have spurred my interest. Cheers and ride slow! m/

Sรบper beautiful bike
leave the grips and bar ends, i like em. Bits of purple all over the bike.
I love parts bin builds, they're my absolute favorite.
Thanks. I bought a 1993 Trek Single Track a year and a half ago. US Steel โcromeollyโ stiff and responsive. Great old frames. Iโve yet to do much modding other than the seat and crank set. One thing at a time. Itโs such a great ride I rarely miss my racing bike. ๐
ฦla ๐๐ฆ๐ฟ๐
love this vid. I enjoy tinkering with my bike a lot, more so then riding it even. You are a good bike mechanic, pleasure to watch
Handlebar is so cool ๐
What about the bottom bracket? Did you re do that?

Just found your channel, man, these videos are great! Great job, keep at it!
Is it bad that I love to upgrade cars and bikes?
Hey, Iโm obsessed with your videos. Can you tell me the rim size you used for the bike? I would love a set of hookworms for my commuter. Thanks
shoulda swapped the derailleur cage onto the XT body
How cool. Love your gentle commentary and humour. I learned heaps too! :- ]
