Great job man
@@sergiyyatsyuk4683 thank you! I appreciate it! 😎
More bikes ❤
More bikes. I love this channel. I love these old bikes and I caught the very end of the cool part of BMX before big box stores saturated the market with foreign made cheap parts. I never had anything cool, huffys and trash. My buddy had a diamondback that I coveted. I love the old mongoose stuff too. I ride street these days on the modern super light, fat wheel, bmxs. And I use an old legion remake painted pink with (unfortunately) remake mag wheels for my trail bike. Anyway
How many bikes you think he has?
I stopped counting when I got to 100! 🤣
Always learning new after watching his videos.
Cool video and sick swap meet, wish we had a fun community like you do in your town. I thought I was the only one who swap nicer looking parts out on my older stingrays.
Thank you! Yes there are a few bicycle groups area here. I'm into the old stuff like you see in this video, but also older bmx stuff. Also motorcycles mini bike cars trucks, you name it! I'm glad you liked this video and I hope enjoy the other ones! 😎
Looks like a fun show. I don’t believe that you are fully over your brother trading in that truck though, you mentioned it 3 times lol. Still a little bitter 😂
Hahahaha yeah I was definitely butt hurt! And both my brother and I come from a long line of grudge holders! But he knows my sence of humor too and knows I was just messing with him in the video! Lol
Nice video Jeff slow falling in love with old cars
Thanks Sergiy! Yes older vintage cars trucks bicycles and whatever else...boats tractors, anything mechanical! It's the best! I don't always know everything about all of it, but it's so much more interesting to me than anything modern where you can barely tell one car from another. And then when the do make something stand out as unit, it hideous! Like that ugly "mindcraft" Tesla truck. Lol
I like klunker bike... I'm from thailand...
Thank you! And welcome! Stay tuned...I will be doing a video on a Klunker build soon! I have a few frames to choose from. I may even build 2 or 3 in one video. I have a few other videos coming out first but maybe in late July or early August. But I do have some other good bicycle content, including my latest video. Check it out....😎
Nice stuff , I’m mostly into BMX right now but wanting to get into the older 20” Schwinn
Thanks man! I appreciate it. Check out my latest video, I do some bmx stuff. I intend on doing more, higher end bmx in the future aswell but I'll still have schwinn stuff too, 20" 24" and 26". It's a love/hate hobby. I love messing with all these bikes, but man it can be frustrating when everything is just a little different than the next! Like all the different nuts and bearings and seat posts and and and......😀
@@Areanorth40-vg21x I just converted a 26” Huffy cruise to 20” wheels . Had to raise the bottom bracket,chain just clears lower tube . Next I have to weld in a pipe for calliper brakes . And looking for motorcycle handle bars . Besides the cruiser bars it almost rides like a BMX . Is there any way I can send you pictures
Sounds very ambitious! I would like to see it for sure. However I'm not sure how to upload pictures in the comments.
I used to have a 66 26 inch schwinn beach cruiser modified into a lowrider 144 spoke RIMS twisted bent fork all chrome mud guards spare wheel mount pedals hit the ground scrapping and sparking it was all there crazy looking lights and audio system
Nice! Bikes are totally cool cuz you can do almost everything you can with a car as far as personalizing them, but way less money! 😀
DID YOU SAY SPACELINER?
Possibly! Lol I do have a couple.. I intend on keeping one but I'm going to start selling several bikes. I've gone a little too crazy with them and my back yard looks like a bicycle bone yard! Lol
Bummer about the Camaro. Looks expensive to fix honestly even doing the work yourself. Good luck.
Yes it will be if I try. My friend Darryl wants to go out and see it for himself in person. I'm not sure but I think he has some ideas. So we're gonna go out and have another look this Saturday. We shall see. Either way I'm going to make a definite decision on whether or not to keep it or move it on! My heart wants to keep it but my brain says "money pit!" Lol
VP Autoparts has floorpans and basically everything else you'd need for the Amazon, they ship from Sweden though so it may be expensive
Thank you for the tip! 👍
I'm in!!!!
Thanks for the video be safe
i really wish i had yard in uk land is expensive so i live in 4 story house im in process at minute of converting what was my living room into bike shop and bedroom into my living area and what was my workshop in attic to my bedroom im getting on a bit its hard carry bikes up 2 flights stairs to work on them so makes sense convert living room into workshop its not easy
As long as you're having fun and it fulfills something in you, its worth it! Good luck with your new workshop! 👍🙂
verry interesting i restore older bikes here in uk oldest i have is from 1972 anyway im subscribed after coming across your channel anything the age of the bikes you working on here in uk are ether rotted away or verry expensive im working on verry rare downhill mountain bike at moment only 200 ever made and you more likely to find rocking horse poop than spares its good have little engineering company close buy that will make me parts and or will let me use there machinery if machines not busy probably end up costing me more that its worth but it is verry different and rare and another thing you got vw bus i lived in vw bus in late 80s early 90s my son was made in back my bus lol anyway all the best from uk
Wow, thank you! I greatly appreciate it! I'm glad my channel is officially international! 😀 Yes we definitely have a lot of bikes to go around here. I have found some pretty nice gems, but I have yet to find a holy grail. In my bike videos so far I have been focusing on old Schwinns and similar type bikes, but I will be doing some content on bmx soon as well. I'm not so much into the shifter bikes like road bikes or mountain bikes, but I'm friends with a guy that has a wood working channel called Therapeutic Sawdust, which is obviously mostly wood working but he does do the occasional bike video and he likes road and mountain bikes. I love that your son was made in the back of a VW bus! 😀 I will definitely be working on mine very soon so stay tuned for that! 👍😎
@@Areanorth40-vg21x i started life as apprentice carpenter not my thing cant saw wood straight but give me pice metal i can only things i passed t school engineering and motor vehicle everything els not slightest bit interested in
Can you do my bike
Well I mostly just work on my own stuff, for a few reasons. 1. Depending on where you live, the practicality of getting a bike to me and back is likely not worth it unless you live in pierce county Washington. 2. I'm not a professional bike mechanic on any level! This is just my hobby. If you watched my first video, you'd see I have several bikes and motorcycles and cars. These are the kind of things I love tinkering with. But one of the things I said in my first video is that bikes are one of the first things kids start to work on mechanically and can definitely help lead to bigger more complex things like lawn mowers mini bikes motorcycles and then cars and trucks. Bikes are relatively simple and, for me anyway, fun to work on. I bet if you give it a try you could do it yourself! 🙂
@@Areanorth40-vg21x okay thank you god bless you do a nice job on your stuff
That was a lot of mud that came out of those bars.
Yeah that was a funny little surprise! I'm glad I poured it out where I did and not all over leg or feet! Lol I added the "bubble" sound effect and cracked myself up! 😆
Rad little mod. Will come in handy...
Why not say the name and location of the swap meet mabey it will be better attended and you could sell some stuff?
Good point, I should have said where it was at. However I didn't put that video out until a couple months after the swap meet. I think theyll be having another in February but I haven't gotten a notification specifically about it yet. But if you live anywhere near Tacoma Washington, it's not for from there. Just north of Gig Harbor in Burley.
*Promo sm* 🌷
Happy new year Rocker Jeff!!
Love that movie, Merry Christmas my friend.
Same! I just dressed as cousin Eddie in the white robe, the fur cap and high black socks, complete with nasty cigar, for a Christmas. movie themed costume party on Saturday! 😆
Merry Christmas
Thank you! You too! ❤
More bicycle stuff love it.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoy the bicycle stuff! There will definitely be more coming soon! Gotta mix it up though! 👍😎
Omg i love your backyard. Cool channel 💯👍
Thank you! I appreciate it! I can't wait for the weather to start getting nicer again and get back outside! 🙂
I wish I could find swap meets like that down here. Probably could if I looked a little harder. Those white rims are AWESOME!!!!! I need to get back into the bikes but currently this damned boat project is taking up all my money 😂😂. Keep up the good work my friend.
Yeah I like them too! I definitely want too use them on the right build! And yes you should get back to building bikes! ,but theres is definitely something to be said for having a more singular focus, because you do things much more meticulously and end end up with something really special. As apposed to a bunch of things that are half baked, half cocked and half rust! 🤣
That's amazing Jeff! What a sweet father in law.😊
I don’t know nothing about nothin about guitars but it’s pretty cool that he’s doing that for you.
❤ I agree! Very touching! And I don't know a ton about guitars, but I know enough to know these are very nice guitars! I feel like I have a responsibility to learn how to play, atleast some basic music. 😊
I'm buying me a bike to restore Im going to get a job restoring bikes hopefully
There are lots of bike out there in need of restoration! Good luck to you! 👍
Pretty cool little bike. Hopefully you get the spoke thing straightened out. Keep it up.
Thanks man, I appreciate the encouragement! 🤟
yeah the golf cart that would make a kewl video when is that one going to start I thing a kewl electric to gas power would be fun to watch especially with all the gas to electric conversions I see lol
As far as I know it just needs batteries, but I just don't have the cash for that right now. There are a few things in front of it on my priority list.
you asked for comments of what we would like to see i commented @@Areanorth40-vg21x
It's got the wrong gas tank on it.plus it's got the wrong rear sprocket too to big
Really? I had not noticed that. I'll have to take a closer look. Its definitely a long way from original, but I thought it was just the paint being stripped off the frame and engine. And ofcourse the front fender is wrong. It was used in vintage racing and changed hands quite a bit, so I'm not surprised the sprocket would be changed. If the tank is wrong, I'm guessing the original got damaged at some point. But it is in good shape and doesn't leak so that's better that a carved in rusted out one. 👍 I'm currently working on the TM 100 and man is it bad! I have a tank on the way for it that will be close but not exact. Stay tuned for an update video for that one soon! 👍🙂
@@Areanorth40-vg21x as a matter a fact the only 2 tm bikes that took a big sprocket was the tm100 and tm125.i bet it's got the tm125 rim on the back check to see if it's a 428 sprocket for the chain the 250 took the 520
Oh I assumed you were talking a out the CR 250 before! You may be right about the rear wheel on the TM. It does look a little bit different than the front. Unfortunately both are so stuck right now, I have not had any luck getting them loose. And the engine is just as stuck! By the time I get this thing going it very well may be a Frankenbike! Lol But I will make sure to keep it all Suzuki and as period correct as possible! Plus I'm not a big time channel and don't have patrion so everything that goes into it, comes directly out of my wallet! Lol So it's going to take a little bit. But maybe I'll sell a dozen bicycles or so to fund the project! 👍😎
I think the light plug would have looked better mounted sideway but that's just me lol anyone else have any thought on Jeff's electrical work ?
I never liked the side side light switches! I also don't like the "upside down" outlet! Lol
Love those older 2 storkes. I ride a 97 Rm 250 an I'm 45 keep it and restore it all the best😊
Nice! Yeah I think I need to get it out to a real riding place and get my helmet on before I make a decision. A 2 stroke 250 needs more space than I have given it yet. Plus I have been riding 4 strokes for the last several years and I just need to nut up and get used to it! Lol Ken Kaplan America still rips the CR 500 and he's 4 or 5 years older than I am! 😀🤟😎
Looks like fun and also a trip to the ER.
Yeah its definitely fun! And definitely Could be dangerous! Unfortunately when I went out there to Doug's place, I forgot my helmet! Well technically I didn't forget it exactly...I just took the wrong truck! Lol I was going to drive my 1500, but last minute change and drove my 2500 and forgot to grab the helmet fro the other truck. Derp! 🙄
Yeah you might get hurt riding a 2 stroke now a days 😁
😮😂
I want to ride now 😊
Cool old 2 stroke wow!
Cool old bikes🤘🤘
I burned my leg on the exhaust once they moved them along the side of the bike 😅
Well you're not supposed to ride in a mini skirt! 😜🤣🤣🤣
I wish I had a dirt bike always been a dream of mine hopefully one day
Do it! But I would not recommend a 2 stroke 250 for your first bike! Maybe an XR 200...great starter bike, but not a gutless wonder or anything, still plenty of fun usable power! Just easier to get used to. 👍
@@Areanorth40-vg21x thanks I just need to save money first
now see I totally would have traded the 200 I had for that bike lol
Not sure I'd have made that trade. Lol
Very relatable brother
Looks good!
Thank you! It's coming along! 👍
How much for the minibike
Well I hadn't actually planned on sell that, but I suppose I could let it go and just get a different one later on down the road. Honestly I'd like one over the newer MB200s with front and rear suspension. But mine is pretty vinty cool! 😎
@@Areanorth40-vg21x im joking man keep it. Keep a look out for flathead motors though
Nice color , I dig the board and sweet mountain view
Thanks man, I appreciate that! I hope you don't mind that I tagged you in the description! I have a 71 bay window and a dunebuggy that is not a manx and it's pretty unique! If you don't mind I will tag you when I do videos on those aswell. 🤟
