StreetStomper! So awesome. The blue looks so good also. I was so surprised that bottom bracket came out like it did.
So nice when they are not left outside eh?
Do you usually try hard to remove the fixed cup too on those cup and cone brackets if you are just servicing the bearings? I had trouble with a 87 Miele donation and had to settle for cleaning and replacing bearings/grease with the fixed cup on (no vise available).
@@froggerc625 I try to get it out if I can with the park tool BB wrench and press to hold the tool on. You can make a tool out of a bolt, lock washers and nuts. Sheldon Brown shares how to make it.
Remember, that cup is left hand thread.
But if you got it clean and nicely packed with grease I'll bet you did fine with it.
Cheers!
One of your best vids in a while. Inspires me to finish a few of the free bikes I've found on the street recently.
I love that you used a fork as a breaker bar xD
i keep a set of old handlebars around the workbench for this exact purpose
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Nice restauration Eric!
Spindatt, You should be called the bike whisperer
A neighbor tossed a 2003 Diamondback Wildwood by our dumpster about a month back. Had so much fun fixing it up.
really glad you keep the original paint on this one and it is surprising how much a good clean up can actually do on an old bike just shows the quality and how simple bikes used to be
I used to do garbage bike restos and give them to people in need...but I haven't done it for awhile as I hadn't had space to store bikes. The place I am living now has space and I might start at it again. Got a dual suspension kid's bike out of the garbage the other day, a girl's bike that the pink decals were sprayed over with silver, dripping paint on everything. Stripped the decals and silver paint off, but it needs grips, new decals, pedals, new cables, and a new chain. So I need another bike for donor parts lol I'll buy new grips/chain/cables. I've restored about 10 bikes over the summer but they all belong to my sister's kids...5 kids, two bikes for each kid (split family).
Resto-modding a Trek Antelope 800 for a friend and this definitely the treatment that the frame needs! Not too expensive but a good revival.
So glad nobody threw that out, go stomp those streets
*Golf Clap*, well done. I think the best part about bikes is that you put 4 hrs into it, it looks 4 hrs better. Very satisfying.
Never even heard of that model. Can we get a geo comparison with the rockhopper? Or is it a stumpjumper...
Looks like a mix of Rockhopper and Crossroads
This was my favorite part of working in a bike shop. Showing a little love to a neglected old bike and seeing how well it works after!
Reminds me of my current MTB a Mongoose hilltopper, same kind of thing, filthy ,rough and needing some resto ,now a great bike ,.Love doing this stuff..
This project is a fine example how bomb proof these bikes are. What you did is the labor of love that’s a lot of work but look how much better it looks! Nice job!
I'm 52 seconds in. I'm hooked. I'm excited. I am anxiously anticipating the results.
That's fly right there. If you think about it, a throwaway bike will do 90% of what a brand new $10k bike would.
Yet I blow my bike budget every month.
That thing almost has Rivendell length chainstays. Gotta be a comfy ride
Such a nice counter balance to all the instagrammably polished and renovated bikes - which is also nice and inspiring, but this is really approachable for everyone. Just making a bike work again. Beautiful!
Just watched the bottom bracket removal in repeat, so satisfying ...
You worked some serious, yet simple, magic on this bike to bring it back to life. Great job and kudos to you.
Great to see an old bike restored and back on the road 😁
Well, you finally got a subscribe out of me for this one. The ‘88 Street Stomper was my mom’s old bike! Absolutely built like a tank. She rode the hell out of it for almost 20 years. I still have it, and it’s still kicking with most of the original components. Anyway, warmed my heart to see you revive this old beaut.
I wouldn’t let go of that anytime soon. Unlike the hardrocks, rockhoppers, and stumpjumpers these are much harder to come across. They are only two production years. But if you do want to sell I’ll drive up and get it 🤣🤣
Great man!! I've done the same plenty of times un my little "homeworkshop" in Barcelona and I think that re-cycled bikes are specially amazing!
I love it when the bike parts come off so easily. The first wash usually puts me in a good mood because it shows the true condition of the finish - generally better than it looks at first glance. I like look at stock old cars, motorcycles and bikes even if I wouldn't have bothered to look at them when they were new. Well done!
It doesn’t look like the bike has had much use in its life, or as the say in the South Wales valleys “the bike haven’t done bugger all it haven’t” 😂😂
I totally agree with Eric on cleaning a bike, a clean bike and some maintenance always helps to make a bike ride better.
2:47 Suspension fork / breaker bar. Genius.
Honestly, this made my day better. For real, that was fun. Thanks for all the cool stuff.
Amazing job Eric!! Looks awesome!
Man! its a Beaut! What a cool old gem!
Great resto build!
Those olds Specialized are cool.
I'm trying to finish my Spe CrossRoads with drop bar. 👍
This is a beauty tune-up. Using tools, know-how and keeping costs low is the right way to do this. I just pulled a bunch of random parts together to build my winter bike. Not a cent was spent.
I love riding too small vintage bikes, nice low top tubes. Mustache bars might be a good fit for that one
Cannot beat a good old bike.
It's amazing how the grease stayed within the bottom bracket such a good shape. That was really a great find, always a nice job, maybe Ivll show you a possible upcoming project with a beater like this one
Beautiful bike restro. @oldshovel in the house!
Great lesson. I took three of my biking partners barn babies, a cluster of GT's and Diamond Backs, she had not ridden in 10-15 years, into one rideable bike in an afternoon. A second just needs a chain link. The third will make a great frame out SS and new modern parts. I have not yet encountered a BB that old as easy as yours today. The Force must have been with you. [this video is getting done today!]
That frame is beautiful. You should give it more than those components
As a 53 year old Englishman I would like to make a request…….never been able to wheely like you do would you consider making a tutorial video on how to master this fine art? Bike looks great.
Totally worth it! A little fun project for next to no money. Now give it to someone who needs and will use it.
Proof that every bike is a good time.
now this is my favourite typa content
Very nice old school is the best.
Loved this but I'm a sucker for these kinds of vids. Trying to do the same but taking significantly longer than a day. Knowhow and a healthy parts bin make all the difference in the world.
Totally looks like many of my projects. Nicely done! Street stomper rules!
Some Tanwall Billy Bonkers tires would set that bike off great.
Great job Eric. Those old steel bikes are super robust and that one looks like it was barely ridden. Thanks for sharing.
My favourite kind of video!
Awesome! Beautiful
Nicely done.
What a transformation. So lucky with the bb . Lol.
Gold!!! I am just about to do the same project!!!
Worth it just for the colour!
I love bikes of this era for exactly the reasons you demonstrated.
Oh!, BTW, One of the other reasons I like bikes of this era is because of the longer chainstays. It makes for a much more comfortable ride (and much harder to do wheelies)
Got a free Walmart 20" pink full suspension with a bent front wheel that I just could let go to the dump. I'm not a hoarder, I just saw in my minds eye some kids that has no bike possibly having a bike. All that stands between them is me leaning to true rims on a zero risk donor bike. You've inspired me to fast-track that project and get in my wife's good graces (by getting rid of it).
Another rather excellent video.....She brushes up well after years in a shed.....Cracking stuff !!!
I see this bike becoming the winter bike
So lucky, i have been looking for a street stomper for years! As always great content!
That was magic, at my LBS there was an old 26"MTB with SPD's in for repair and it was by far the coolest ride in the shop. Immaculate but with gobs of patina.
Great work 👍
I get more excited about resurrections like this than the repetitive carbon coming out of the bike industry. IYKYK
Lovely job!
Well done 👍
Nice work!
Seeing this previewed on patreon the other day made me super excited for this video
I love these old MTBs. Great job 👍...
Awesome find! Looks like an urban Rockhopper under a different name. Interesting to look at the catalogue to compare.......
Ramones! Nice!
I did a similar resto a year or so back to a Trek 7000 fx that was thrown out in the trash for the crime of "not being used". Similar case, 80% of the work was giving it a deep clean. New seat, cable inners, grips and tyres had it looking as nice as the stomper here. Nearly the same colour too.
Sold it for the price of the new parts plus a 6pak of beer for my efforts.
The guy who bought it wanted to ride to work 3km, too far to walk but not far enough to drive and find parking every day.
Everybody was happy and what was a good bike under the grime and neglect was saved from a one way trip to the dump.
Have you considered selling these bikes? You have a loyal following
Hey really great bike. You know what I think the youtube bike world needs? A decent review of avid shorty cantilever brakes. I think you should put some maxxis hookworms on it as well.
Love the glorified tuneups! Last year I rescued a bike with a nasty BB from a landfill. It's amazing what a little time, paint, and recycled parts can do to "trash"
Awesome job.... the power of a clean up and regrease. 🇿🇦
Looks like I need to get out to the tip more!! Fabulaos revamp!
1 day turnarounds/builds feel so good
Very inspiring! I am getting close to trying this once I can find the right 90s MTB for cheap
So badass!!
I couldn't help but notice the Vigorelli in the background of one of the shots.
But great video, great thing to wake up to
" Ahhh It Moves " Yep, same reaction when my crusty looking bottom bracket move with ease.
Nice find 😍🔥🚲👏🏽
It's alive!
Love bike restorations. Keep em coming!
I've never seen one of those before. I love it!!!
Nice! In the last couple of months, I've found a complete 2003 Quintana Roo triathlon rig and a complete 1989 Specialized Team Stump Jumper in the trash. Each bike was destined for the scrapper, and each bike will take between $50 and $90 to bring back to showroom condition. I love the fact that this society is so shamefully wasteful! 😉
Eric, you don't have kids yet. I find weird tied up stuff all the time at my house, especially my bikes. It's them!!!! The little aliens destroying my house one knot at a time!
Bin there.... now the mystery lies in my cars! Adult Aliens lol!
using the fork as a wrench extender.... you must be learning from Sam Pilgrim!
That's what we are being sold as a flat bar Gravel bike.
Love it
Awesome. There is someone - a short someone - who will LOVE that bike. New tires, though.
Did you use a suspension fork as a lever to remove the pedals?... brilliant!
I work at a county water plant and there are tons of bikes picked up almost weekly that get left on our property. They end up in our metal scrap bins and it breaks my heart that I can’t take them (the company would fire me because it’s akin to stealing company property)
On second thought I’m gonna need to ask someone about this problem.
I have heard that they put string or tape or something like that on suspected abandoned bikes, if the owner removes the tape the bike stays, if they haven’t after some length of time then the bike will probably be removed to say, make space in a bike rack or just to tidy up
very nice!
Awesome job man! 👊🏼👍🏼
my G!
On more than one occasion, I've seen people tie their kickstand in place so the damaged spring doesn't make it deploy randomly. Though not sure about the Seat Tube one here.
Think it was helping hold a bike lock as it was near a bike lock bracket that Eric removed and tossed away.
But yes, the kickstand trick 😆
Perfect. It doesn't get more reasonably priced than that :)
dunno but beginning gave me wavywheels kinda vibes
have a good day
