- In this video I restore a 1990 Schwinn Impact MOS. This bike was functional but needed a little loving and some customization to make it special again for another 34 years.

Here are some of the tools I used.

Shop tour? Yes please. I'd love to see how you make a small space work!
I miss the squeak on the door to your workshop. 😂 it’s like your theme tune!
Haha!! I'll make sure I don't lube the hinges anymore!
Really liked this rebuild. I recently did the same thing buying bars with too much rise and the shifters & levers didn’t fit. Nice recovery and you’ll use those bars down the road, same here. Tour of the workshop soon, yes please.
The workshop tour is up on my channel now!
As soon as you cut to the handlebars and I saw the Suntour shifters, I went 'uh oh'. Been there before... Anyway, nice build and great choice of tires! 🖤💛
Haha! Live and learn....
I love how the playground, woods etc are always completely deserted and silent. It's like you're the only person living for miles around.
Wondering if Ritchey Logic brakes (I believe were made by Dia-Compe) have that same spring tension adjustment? Way better than messing with the typical need-three-hands cantilever brake adjustment.
Ha! I have made that same exact mistake! The cables weren’t bad either. I can’t remember why I even cut them but I was so upset that I couldn’t even find any cables for that Suntour shifter at the time. I ended up replacing the shifters. I think I tossed the old shifters away out of frustration. Glad you were able to find a replacement. Thats one of the rare times when the seller really did know they have.
That makes me feel good that someone else made the same mistake!! Haha!
Affirmative on the shop tour.
Beautiful color combination. Just built an Impact myself but it was the black and white combo. Not nearly as stunning. Save Old Bikes! I’m with you my friend.
Yes do the tour
Thanks for sharing . Love the colours of that bike. Shop tour please. 👍
Working on a shop tour!
Very nice! Love the color!. I've never seen one of those color combinations before on a Schwinn Impact.
Great job, Todd, it turned out great. Love the yellow accents you added. Very sharp looking bike. I'd definitely like to see a tour of your workshop!
Shop tour please
Awesome lighting and camera work - you have got the secret bike video sauce.
Thanks! 👍
That is SICK!
Should of put a bannana seat on it 😂
Excellent idea!! Don't tempt me!! Haha!
Yes. Shop tour! I still want to see your parts cleaner.
I'll be putting together a shop tour soon! In the meantime, I did do a separate video on the parts washer. ua-cam.com/video/8lWZQHPzCPo/v-deo.htmlsi=MlVW5ZtU0tDgMfeQ
beautiful!
Very cool sir!
Killer Beecycle! 😉😁
🤣
Just add bumble bee noise maker .......then it'll be complete .......nice.....
3:35 OPS....These cables are specific, good thing you found others to sell....
Sweet
Black and yellow is always a sharp combo! Most people don't have a laser etcher laying around. Do you use it as a hobbyist, small businesss, or underground lasik eye surgery.
Haha! No eye surgery going on here. I engrave some wood products that I sell on Etsy. I'll talk about it in my shop tour.
I have my repair stand in a small area as well and would love some ideas for organization etc. Thanks and love the videos!
Stay tuned!

❤👍👍👍👍
It turned out great, but handlebar with a rise? Your stem is reaching the sky. 😂
Yeah, but it's pretty comfy as a cruiser!
Not into that but it's a vibe still... was pretty good start tho... actually prefer the Michelin tires
Phil Wood grease on every inch of cable running through the shortest possible cable housing
with triflow down all said shortest possible cable housings
silky powerful brakes
silky smooth shifting.... Amen
Nice restore... what tires are those.. do they sell them in black?
They are called Grand Tycoon Beach Cruiser tires. Duro also makes some that are identical in just about any color.
@@DePuesshop amazon?
@pisto_run_cycling I got the yellow ones on Ebay, but the Duros are on Amazon and Ebay.
@@DePuesshop ok ill check it out.. thanks again.. gave you a follow on here and Instagram
What brand and make are those slick looking wheels?
They are Duro brand. I found them on eBay.
What kind of grease do you like to use in your little grease gun?
Very fancy stuff! I use waterproof wheel bearing grease from the auto parts store. The same stuff you put in a boat trailer wheel bearing.
Thanks! I've been using Red-n-Tacky grease because I always have it on hand. Not sure if using something like Park Tool Polylube is better. It is compatible with other greases. Based on what I've read, any of these are fine, but some insist that bike grease is better. @@DePuesshop
Sorry to say, it's just my opinion, but this looks like a Chinese bike now, all about the looks, but the content...hmmm. Not sure. Schwinn as a very known brand name, I would sure try and or buy. So no worries, just saying I dislike the colour balance. Maybe just the wrong kind of yellow.
I understand. I took a risk on this one and knew that this design is not everyone's cup of tea. It's definitely bold. I appreciate your feedback and comment.
Not the greatest name for a MTB 😂
True!! 🤣😂
