I met up with Josh, one of the owners of Heritage Cycles in Grove City, Ohio to check out his 1986 Fuji Touring Series IV. This bike has been through a gamut of miles and retro-mods.

Joey's Birthday Song
Переглядів 1656 років тому
Joey wanted a new theme song for his birthday present...
So many great ideas to upgrade my DT. Thanks kindly!
They use corn syrup to brew miller high life beer. That bike really speaks to me
I have that bike hanging in my storage that I bought at a garage sale. Mine is stock, but now plan on changing the bars, and adding some things. Right now it is getting new rubber first, but will ask about bars. Your video was very cool to find.
8-pack plus that "plate" seems like a more versatile option than the 24-pack, allows to you to get a little leaner if so desired.
yeah, I have both, I like the TV tray better
How much was the cost of everything with labor?
Too much lol
Was 59cm the right size for you? I'm about the same height but all legs. Excited that State make a 62cm frame
Yeah - the sizing was perfect, I'm 6'4" and wear a 34 or 36" pants
rad fishing rod holder. nice bike! thanks for posting this.
Thanks man, I wish someone sold these - they're easy to make
Very Cool!
Thanks for watching!
i don't understand the appeal of this overpriced fork which does manage to drop the center of gravity of a load a little bit, but it doesn't offer steering that's independent of the load's swing weight, like a real cycletruck does. And the fork alone costs half as much as a brand new LGB, complete. I've ridden MTBs with a Wald #157 Giant Delivery basket over the stock 26" front wheel, and they're great. I've also ridden real Cycletrucks, and they're even greater.
Thanks for watching! Maybe it's second type of cool 👍
@@MulksBikes i think it's got some appeal, but it's like $335. That's bananas, and i think a lot of the ppl who like this fork are unaware of the drawbacks that come with mounting the rack to the fork, Rather than to the frame
Dork disks are very functional and a kind of flex since noone runs them so its a kind of do you dare to ask why thing
Thanks for watching!
Ha ha! Rd cable is way too short!
Thanks!
@ 6:24 into the video it’s Confusing as to why you would tell people how to successfully steal this bike?
The video would be great if you would edit this part out.
Thanks for watching!
?
Thanks for watching!
Any idea on where I can get that frame bag?
dbags.bigcartel.com/ I think it's from here if I'm not mistaken
is that a 139 wald rack?
Yep!
What's that? His fingers are sore? Well that's to bad because he just pulled landscaping duty.
Haha
What size is the set screw for axle?
I'm not sure on the size, my lbs had them in stock. You can find them on Performance Bike "SURLY STRAGGLER FRAME REPLACEMENT DROPOUT SCREWS"
@@MulksBikes M4 screw. Should be 50mm long
Just broght this but in navy blue, since the matte black and olive green was sold out. Got it for cruising here in south Florida. Whats a good tire/tubes that wont kill the budget.
I put Teravail Ramparts on it. Panaracer Gravelkings are pretty easy to find and are a good economical solution too
Hey, up in Stuart, north if West Palm. I went with the Panaracer Gravel King SS in the 38, very happy with them
Heck yeah! I'm building one right now! Getting paint done then it's on. Very cool build.
Thanks for watching!
Nice build dad
Thanks for watching 🤙
the squeaks is not a bug, it's a feature, a safety feature for signalling a stop
Good call! 👍🤣
Nice to see a cargo fork bike with a triple. I keep seeing other cargo bikes in 1x or single speed. Bigger loads should be matched with lower gears I think. Sweet bike!
Totally agree - I'm very pro-triple👍 thanks for watching
Wheelies, bunny hop . . . but can ya take it off any sweet jumps? 😀
We definitely need to find out @jdandy! 🤣
Love it!
Awesome build!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
I didnt see anyone else say, so... For the old school style of canti brakes, you need to drop the yoke until it's just above the top of the tire for proper braking performance. The way they are now it's no wonder the bike doesn't brake well. Canti brakes are great, they just need proper adjustment. Otherwise they wouldn't have been specced on touring bikes (i.e. lots of weight) for decades. Perfect do-anything bike, very nice!
Thanks for the tip - I'll pass it along! Thanks for watching!!
I have the same bike in a 46 as I am old (76) and short, 5'1" with short arms and a short torso. I have basically redone the whole bike, the frame and wheels are stock. Swapped in an All City 165 crank, Specialized 38cm Short Reach drops, Shimano brake hoods/levers, brought the stem in with a Whisky 80cm. 0 offset Thomson seatpost , Selle Anatomica leather saddle. The specs say you can run up to a 42 tire, but I have heard 50s will clear. Depends on the tire I suppose. I run a 38 Panaracer Gravel King +Super Slicks on mine. Totally enjoy this bike and ride it or a previous edition I enjoy just as much, set up pretty much the same way , a 4130 a Van Dam with 32s on it every day. I don't go that far 15-20 miles for exercise and fun. Thanks for the video , enjoy the ride!
Thanks for watching! Nice to hear from another 4130 owner 👍
There might be japanese bikes for 5'1??? 👀
@@Psp-id7uw I bet there are or from Taiwan, Wabi etc, but these work for me and when I got my original 4130 the Van Dam during the Covid stuff, State had stock when no one else did and I got the bike and was on the road in a week. I'm just out to enjoy the ride
Nice build. I have bikepacking KM that I plan to convert to trail bike for 2024, nice to know that 140mil suspension is acceptable ( manual says 100mm)
Thanks for watching - I called Surly a dozen times over the years with those questions, they're always extremely helpful. It's spec'd at 140, you can also verify a lot of those details in the FAQ on their site. It's mentioned a half dozen times. It's been very helpful in all my builds. Good luck with your KM conversion - I'm sure it'll be sweet!
All my bikes are ... A rigid mountain bike at times ! 😅 Nice Salsa
Right on!
I enjoyed his bike tour. Good seeing what the 80s had in terms of touring and how it can transform with today's tech.
Right?! I've grown so much appreciation for this era of Fuji since we filmed this. Such a high value design - Thanks for watching!
Back in 1985 I bought a Schwinn Tempo,(frame by Panasonic)..I still have it..Only the frame and seat post are original..I rode 34 century plus rides this year on it!…Like you it is my significant other 😂Flat bars with inboard and outboard bar ends,28mm Gatorskins 👍I have 12 bikes but this is my favorite…
34 centuries makes me tired just thinkin' about it😱 Nice work! Thanks for watching👍
Get a room😂
really like yalls style if i lived closer i would be a reg customer
how'd you strip the bars? I got some surly opens and love how yours look, would like to do it myself. just a sander? or oven cleaner? I got to know.
Good question - I'll ask
@@MulksBikes thank you!
I have a circa 1986 Raleigh Kodiak. I think the front fork is not origional. It looks like it's off of a mountain bike? Anyway, does anyone know where i could find a nice touring front fork for a vintage 80's bike?? thanks . nice video.
Not sure what your steerer, trail, or length is, but you might look at Soma Fab forks. They make a bunch. 👍
This was the most enjoyable bike check video I've seen in so long. Thanks for posting! I feel heckin inspired to work on my beater conversion now.
Thanks for that - more on the way! Good luck on your build
Amazing bicycle 💪🏻💪🏻🧡ciao da Milano Italy 👋🏻
Grazie!!
The dork disk is no joke. I have the same frame and love it. It came to me two years ago. On my first trip out, the original Suntour derailleur went into the spokes. The bike stopped. I did not. Luckily, I was riding slow. I jumped over the handlebars and landed on my feet. It destroyed the derailleur. I replaced it with a vintage Suntour Cyclone. I love the bike. Rode it all 7 days of RAGBRAI this year and ran into another guy with the same Fuji frame.
Glad you're okay! Dork disk for life ✊ Thanks for watching Nick!
It is a disk, but not dorky…. low profile, black, stealthy…. needs a new appropriate name…. :)
My Touring V is marvelous. '80s Fujis are the best
I'm becoming a believer 👆
Beautiful setup, enjoy the rides.
Thanks 👍
Very cool bike. One thing not discussed was the frame. Back then Fuji was using Ishiwahta designed frames and they were outstanding. For this bike, they used a lugged, QUAD butted high end CroMoly frame, resulting in a very light, durable steel framed bike. No wonder this is your fastest bike!! Personally, I own a '85 Fuji Opus III road bike that I switched out the drop downs for a flat bar set up for my own comfort. It also has the quad butted CroMoly frame and its' advertised weight was only 20 lbs - insane for a steel framed bike!! It's the best feature of these bikes.
Whoa that's pretty cool! Maybe I should be looking for a vintage Fuji now. That's interesting - thanks for watching!
A friend interstate is a FUJI expert .
I have an 85 mark IV that i found in a trash heap, welded the rear canti posts lower for 700, crimoee for tire clearance, its my favorite bike and probably my fastest because its so damned comfortable Love it
Comfort counts! Thanks for watching 🤙
Love it! Beautiful and versatile
Thank you! Cheers!
It _is_ a rad bike. And Thomas, the reason he has a triple up front is the same reason he has a dork disc - because he's a BOSS.
Damn straight 🤘
It's a bicycle version of a rat rod. I like it.
Heck yeah🤘 it kinda is, right on!
I love bike
Yeah me too! Thanks for watching
Your welcome,good luck for you amen
Why does it look like their is little to no drop in the top tube, but others look a little more aggressive with a little more drop. is it because it's xl and I've been looking at Ls or all with angle of the photo I'm just confused
I'm assuming that's a question. The top tube doesn't drop on an XL frame like it does on the little frames. Logically the angles would be too obtuse for strength and still accomplish the required reach. If that's what you're asking. Thanks for watching!
Is this a question? Thanks for watching!
Has to be im 6 foot maybe 6 1 and my evil is a large and just got a large km and was thinking the pics made the top tube have more drop but it must be a different geo so you have more reach or something
Exactly. I remember when I first got my initial KM in 2006, I was surprised at the geo, thought it looked like a road bike compared to the promo pics. They dont shoot the XL frame for the Surly Website @@erikgrondin2253
@@MulksBikes let yah know in about 4 days if mine looks like the pics or more road bike cross over like because Mines a L
Well played. The only people I know with dork discs on their bikes are old, experienced bike guys.
I wanna know who's gonna start selling high-end aftermarket dork disks?! 😉 I'll order some for sure after this
Great looking bike.
I think so too!
