Unique junk bike rescued & restored
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- In this episode I meticulously rescue, repaint, rebuild, and restore a bike that was, otherwise, destined for the scrap heap. I got this '91 Haro Impulse Comp off from a local retiree who couldn't ride anymore and was just wanting to get rid of it. I recognized instantly the potential of this bike, with the beautiful lines, those 90s stylings, and that durable steel. While I wasn't interested in restoring it to it's original lime green, I did want to pay homage to 90s stylings with some candy apple green and purple accents. The cherry on top was having a viewer, Paul Y., graciously send me some 30 year-old gorgeous ODI attack grips that complimented the build nicely. Thanks again Paul!

Noone could ever imagine that some day someone would come along and manage to make this bike design beautiful. 😂
This is the most thorough and beautiful restoration video I've seen.
Im kinda addicted to bike restoring videos...You gave me a new drug!
Nice new upload!. Your videos are very therapeutic
So strange how the UA-cam algorithm works...I've been watching bike restoration videos for the past years on here, yet, you have JUST popped up on my feed. Super cool stuff. I've watched a couple of your videos now and have been beyond impressed.
I love the colors and the editing and the soundtrack for this build. Also, small detail, I really enjoy watching you taking components out of the packaging right before installation.
Thanks!
That was awesome love to have that bike.
Could watch you all day fixing up bikes make them all new again.
Absolutely love the color of this one, I have an 1979 Schwinn Varsity in lime, and I love that bicycle. Great restoration.
personally liked the original color that showed under the old stickers more
I had in the 90s the neon orange haro extreme the higher end version to this. it had a suspension stem that was amazing! That bike rolled over anything and had so much compliance. Such a wonderful bike for the time I miss it.
Come back! I love your work!
Haha. Got some stuff coming soon.
Love your work. That bike geometry is such a bad idea. Make a great piece for a MTB museum.
Wow that is FRICKING COOL!! seriously that is so awesome!!!!
Thanks!
I have to admit : It's the first time I like the way someone ask me to like and subscribe so I'll do it.
Very nice vid, very nice bike, congrats :)
5 months without videos? I hope there is a great project in preparation !
Great job, music is cool, welldone my brother, greetings from Turkey
The result and editing is so cool
Nice to see the next generation in action
That paint job is insane!
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Here’s a bike “the Joker” would be proud to ride. I dig the color choice.
My son said the same thing. I didn't realize it until almost done. 😆
Back in the 90's I had this cool Joker horn on my bike, it would be the perfect match for the restored bike ua-cam.com/video/P3m-28A5Kdo/v-deo.html
The Riddler too!!! (",)
I was thinking "the Hulk"
I can't stop watching your channel! Love all the incredible detailed work you do on these restorations. Beautiful end result!
Thanks!
Holy cow this bike is bloody gorgeous! Dude, you got hella skilz... 👍👏👏👏
Thanks! 🙏
masterpiece
Finally, I found someone with the same odd love for super odd old mtb frame shapes... 😅
It became very beautiful
You chose a great color
I can't believe the aptitude skill and patience. Makes me feel inadequate! Beautiful bike.
Thanks Daniel. It's not hard. Just takes a lot of patience. :)
Remember when in 1990 this was the best bike in my local shop. Luminous yellow
Keep up the good work people like me love the knowledge I went to MMI UTI ORLANDO IN 2008 I had a trek 4500 when I was a teen I loved it I used to jump that bike so high and the coasting wheelies lol I would soar down streets on one wheel 17 years ago in new York lol good day
That head tube angle is crazy. Huck it off a curb to flat and those forks are gonna bend up to the handlebars.
Great video, the guy definitely has some coin, big blast cabinet, walk in curing oven, that's bucks right there
Once upon a time I did. Out of work now, unfortunately. :(
You are a master at your craft. Amazing.
The best scene where I got the most satisfaction was you tossing them awful STI Combo shifters in the garbage...ha ha No seriously, nice build.
Great video and very nice hard work seriously. I'm enjoying watching your video.
From Malaysia 🇲🇾
Absolute perfection! Meticulous and precise craftsmanship.
Ohh snaps it’s a HARO 💛💙
Fantastic work, beautiful!
Beautiful work🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
All that I can say is that I'm green with envy😉
A smoke machine?! Love it.
This build needed it. :)
I rode Haro bmx bikes, then mostly trek mountain bikes and I remember this bike when it was new. Your restorations, up-mods are thorough and clean. I love them. I don’t mind the colors at all, and styles are always changing anyway. My only gripe would be the wide riser bars. It is definitely a more modern, and popular, choice to have those but I still prefer 585mm with some answer bar-ends (the internal ones). I’m old now I guess. Lol.
If I'm gonna ride it, it's gotta have wide bars. :)
That paint is just simply gorgeous. I've had a thing for green paintjobs lately, and this will do just nicely. It's both loud yet subtle at the same time. Just right.
Would be great to have a custom painted bike one day and it might not be so far away though as Stanton bicycles offer that extra service.
The grips was made for that bike as well lol.
A beautiful bike super restoration 🔥👍
Hmmm impressive re-built and interestingly more impressed with the music lol 🤣 sure brings me back 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed rebuild! Love how little guy was part of the rebuild! Keep the videos coming!
My dad had one of these growing up... Love that color. The old Haro's were crazy!
The geometry is like nothing I've ever seen. Instantly loved it when I saw it.
O.O WOW!!! Perfect work!
not a bad build there are things about this build that i like and then there are things that i'm like wth like the tires, the purple color components mixed with black, not a bad build!!!!
Perfect! Well done! 👏👏👏
Thanks!
I want my 94 univega restored wish I had your skills to do it. Awesome job.
Send it to me and I'll do it for you ;)
Great job with great skill....wish I can do this myself. Great bro!!!
I would love to see a before and after side by side at the end of the videos as you show the finished product. Watching these makes me want to sell my 2020 Specialized and restore an older bike I once had but then I realize I am not you. :)
Nice build. Well done.
Superb editing
Awesome job. 👍☮️🌞🌟🚲
Since finding your channel I’ve binge watched all of them. I recently updated my old Pro-Flex 856 it has been sitting around for years with a blown front shock. She is all put back together and looks awesome again. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
What a beautiful bike!!
Awesome! Great restore! 😎
Some great nostalgia there, I loved my Haro Impulse and was devastated when it was stolen.
Artistry in your work and your filmmaking. Thank you for sharing.
I like how you have your kid helping do some pretty skilled stuff! Good job!
Thanks!
Very good attention to detail in the restoration. Now the bike is in better than new condition. Good work. 👍
Increíble restauracion!!! Esa impulse vale oro🙌🙌
Fantastic restomod.
I had a 1990 Haro Impasse that came from Gorilla Bike! Rode it hard for over a decade. I still remember looking through the catalog and seeing these triagonal frames. So cool. Recently had a neighbor getting rid of one so I gave him $50 for it. I didn't do as much as you did to this one, but it does get ridden. Keep up the good work!
Very cool
love that frame!
That is a HARO sir! That is not Junk LOL. My first real non Walmart mountain bike was a HARO Escape that I bought Used. I wish I still had it!!
Those rims look ace colour matched to the frame. Excellent work 👏👏👏
Awesome video and a beautiful bike. Thanks🇨🇦
I was watching your other Chanel and just realized that you had this one. I love your work and how you incorporate your family in it too.
Beautiful restoration!!! WOW!!!!
Thanks!
Simply stunning work!
Thanks Adam!
Totally dig the music style on this one. Very cool getting your son involved in the powder coat booth too. Bike obviously looks great.
Thanks!
Sending my full support Sir
Nice job sir
God bless you sir 🙏 from Philippines
WOW... so satisfying! I love bike builds like this, I learn a ton thanks for the info.
A real artist, that was a lovely build 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Soooo RADDDDD!!! Love this build.
Thanks, my friend!
So glad I found this channel. What you do is amazing and thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Beautiful!
You're inspiring me to push my bike mechanic skills. I restored a Trek 2300 road bike on Mavic wheels and a 9 gear Campy Veloce groupset, and got it riding beautifully. I see you, and I think I want it to be so much more now.
Amazing build, i grew up riding Haro BMX's of all years i didn't even know this one existed. Great job!
this bike is brutal
Amazing video and storytelling end editing.Good job for bicycle.
W la vespa ciao da Milano Italy 👋🏻
Хорошая работа , интересно смотреть . ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ )))
The frame is so weird, I absolutely love it
Drop dead gorgeous 🥰
Awesome video, very good job!
Cheers from Germany
Thanks!
Apart from great work - great music!

What a great job ! 👍
Amazing work.
Simply love it. Great work!
Thanks
Frame looks awesome 👌👌🥰
Thanks!
@@BuildaBetterBikeYou are Welcome??
Beautiful! can't get over how pro your whole shop set-up is. (Minus the wheel disassembly on what looked like the kitchen table..lol) Awesome vid! "Meticulous" is an understatement on the level of detail that you put into this one.
Thanks!
you are amazing, from the level of detail to the editing, even the song, A M A Z I N G!
I really love the effort you put on this restoration, that color scheme is just perfect!
Haven't seen this frame geometry before.
Yeah it's a pretty crazy geo for sure
That's dope!
Awesome build and meticulous detail. Music is straight from a Halloween movie soundtrack sorta , love it
Damn impressive!
One of the best rebuilds I've watched awesome job.
Thanks!
Another superior build. Amazing job you are a master!
Thanks, my friend. Far from a master though. I just don't show all the imperfections. :)
@@BuildaBetterBike I do some very basic restoration videos. And I can see the skill and hard work in your videos and Bikes. And I’m super Impressed. Thank you for bringing the bikes back to life and all your builds. You are killin it!
