I owned this EXACT bike back in 1993. I called it "ketchup and mustard" because in addition to the bright red and yellow frame... I added even more red and yellow accessories LOL.
bike looks cool!! those other rigid forks look pretty good as well, hopefully you can use em on another build! thx for chucking the shook / shok stickers on :D haha
I'm a big fan of the Deathgrips myself and seeing them on your bike just proves that they are so good...hope you enjoy them as much as I do and wish you fun riding this cool Ferrari-red machine 👍
@@2NDLIFEBIKES I also like that they are available flangeless and with flange, you can just pick what fits best to the bike without compromising on the style.
Nice! I just picked up a 97’ F700 delta Volvo in the same color. Head Shok is shot but will try and refurbish it with new internal parts I found on eBay. …🤙🏽
I have a 1999 f700 as well and looking your video make me think to do the same think instead to buy a newone … Can I ask how much did you spend on that restoration . $ thanks in advance
@@2NDLIFEBIKES i started to convert my own old specialized mtb in a fast gravel and I would like to make it faster in city. I was thinking to change gears.. at the moment ive got stimano 3x6.. what do you reckon that i can change and is not gonna be really expensive but its gonna improve my bike performance ?

Shook/shok! No idea what’s wrong with me haha yeah the fork is super nice. I have a couple ideas for them! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼
@@2NDLIFEBIKES just restore the fork and put it back on the bike keep its original
@@TheDougMan3 I would but trying to find the parts is crazy difficult and if you do crazy expensive. But believe if I could have I would have 🙌🏼
What a beautiful bike.
Thank you!!
Cheers for the shout-out dude! Best of luck with the build. Once again, sorry for the packing, I had very little to work with and had to improvise 🙃
Oh it’s awesome! Arrived today!! 🙌🏼

Nice work Craig!
Thanks dude!! 🙌🏼
Looks great! Well done. The extra cleaning on the frame really made it pop.
It really did! Looks super cool in the sun! ☀️
Lighter fluid and tissue does the trick for the sticky stuff near head tube 👍
That’s a great shout! Thanks for the tip! 🙌🏼
Awesome build, as usual coming from your channel :)
Thanks man. Means a lot!! 🙌🏼

I usually dont like red. That yellow makes it pop. Great restore.
Same, I think it’s why I’m into it. 🙌🏼
Bella zio ✌️🚴♂️

Wouldn't be forcing the headset in an alloy frame unless you want a cracked headtube, engineer would turn it down a little on a lathe
They sell shims that let you use a regular head set and just fill in the small gap
I’ve never seen them that big but I’ll keep an eye out for next time! 🙏
Can you please tell me, where you found those Adapters? I am trying to build up my old f2000. Thanks a lot!
Nice bike!!
I got mine on Amazon but it’s out of stock. I’ll link it anyway so you can have a search around. ✌🏼

Very nice. Where do you buy the air bike bits from?
Thanks! I’ve put a link in the description. 🙌🏼
Airbikes stuff is really cheap. Wonder if they ship to the US…
I think it’s just the UK currently but fingers crossed! It’s great stuff!
Too much "jibber jabber"...
🤣
