What a gem. I love older Schwinn bikes.
Thank you for all the cool projects ❤. I love 80s-90s bikes.
The red pedals and grips give it the icing on the 🍰. Lovely build.
Wow, I love the color scheme. Almost everything is red. For me bikes look cool that way. 😊
I remember drooling over the Homegrowns, especially the bass boat ones.
I used to have this same bike with a full XT groupset, WTB wheels with XT hubs, Hayes Mechanical disc, Eastton carbon bar, and a lot of other high end components
I wish I never got rid of it. 😢
@@thegonger1 "The workhourse" XT 🤘🤘
schwinn was one of the great brands back in the 90s along with mongoose and huffy. just so sad they reduced down to walmart level. Jay Miron was one of my bmx heroes back then.
Oh wow! This was my holy grail bike. I couldn't afford it, so I settled for the Moab AL 1. I still have it and ride it to this day! Thanks for the memories.
Magnificent work on this bicycle Mr. Oldshovel.Thank you for your videos.👍
I have a gen 1 converted to SS when that was all the rage, still a forever bike!
Great build man.
i love the evolution of the channel. From resto modding everything with a 1x, wide bars and short stem to now restoring them to their original glory0-so much better!
i have learned alot from yr videos keep them coming from bonnie scotland😀
Very nice build 👏👏
Great video!! Just wondering if you ever heard of a pinstripe eraser, it's a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill and removes stickers. cheers!!
Man has an endless supply of Chris King headsets, how?
Exactly what I thought!!! Are they cheaper in the US than the UK??
@@Speedscholarsno, I think they are around $200 USD all over the world. Lol, he puts them on every bike!
He has the advantage of being able to buy parts like that because of the Bicycle Collective in Salt Lake and Ogden.
@@johnnydoe66who gives that many away!!!
@Speedscholars With modern bikes having tapered headsets, a state like Utah where mtn biking is one of many outdoor sports is so popular, and 1.125" headsets not being used on higher end bikes, there's probably a large number of older mtn bikes and parts throughout the state. The Bicycle Collective just built a new location recently because they had expanded so much, which tells me alot of people donate alot of bikes and parts in that area.
Black seat post and stem made the frame colour pop!
I never knew that the "Work Horse" XT was available on Schwinn bikes; nice👍👍. And I saw XT parallax hubs on what might be Mavic 517 SUP wheels🤘🤘. And that 7000 series aluminum Thomson Elite seat post🤘🤘
I had almost that same Homegrown about 20 years ago! Small frame, Rock Shock Psylo fork, XT group, Avid brakes. Traded it as partial down payment on my first car.
Watching you ride, that bar is REALLY narrow by today’s standards.
Wow what a beautiful Red XC mashine😍👍🏻 it's just so perfect❤
And that "wishbone" frame looks cool, too. My Trek 4300 is also a "wishbone"🤘🤘
I have a 4300 disc. I don't like the way the rear end looks, but the 31.8 seattube means I can use a dropper, which makes up for the ugliness and whacky geometry.
I still have my Schwinn homegrown. I remember racing it in 1998. I have all my fancy bikes now and I still have my homegrown the exact same rate you have.
Thank you for the Inspiration in your Videos.
Handsome bike. Cool pedals 👌🏻
I remember walking into Richardson Bike Mart and seeing the gold anodized looking version of this bike right next to a new seven, and dreaming of owning them one day!
Beautiful build! Love those color combination. All red with some black parts. 😍❤❤❤🚴 Love to watch these bike build videos, so relaxing.
Your restorations are fantastic. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Sweet looking homegrown I’m glad you kept it close to stock as possible. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
I recently got to work on a new Schwinn bike, which was nowhere near as nice as this one in the video. Despite it's cheapness I still managed to make it work, somehow. It was one of those really cheap bikes at £154, for that money the person could have had a really decent used bike with much better quality frame and parts!
Nice build.. have a schwinn frame in the garage. I think its time to build it
Nice Video and Build
I know it's a Thompson seat post but the raw aluminium one was so cool
Another beautiful refresh! I am so jealous that you have those collectives in your area.
That garmin color is so park tool 😂
Another stunner!! Such a nice bike!!
Wow this ended up being an amazing looking bike.
Nice! Believe this one is made by Anodizing Inc. I have a 2001 HG comp! The one with the fancy seat stays. love it!
The last gasp of Schwinn.
I would like to see you do an old early 90s cheap Walmart bike and turn it into something practical and cool just for the fun of it. Probably seems pointless but...
Rare Gem. Made by John Parker and the Durango Co. boys at Yeti. Thanks for sharing.
Some were made by Yeti, this one was not. This one was made by Anodizing Inc in Portland Oregon.
Nice bike. Great job restoring it. Wondering if we will see any videos of giving new paint jobs on some of the bikes?
Parabéns por mais um belo trabalho! Tchau! 🇧🇷
Me gustaría ver en tu canal una, Schwinn MOAB.
I have that fork but setup disc on a 95 trek 930. With 98 LX-XT drivetrain 27.5 swapped
Anyone attending the frame building bike show in Portland, OR in Aug?
We’d love to have y’all
And that 7075 aluminum Chris King headset🤘🤘
I used to own Schwinn Moab 3 steel frame
Love watching your restoration videos, was just wondering why you put coins down the handlebar grips before fitting them to the bars cheers.
stops the bars from piercing through the end of the grips if you drop the bike ;-)
I still a 99 schwinn homegrown, that I don’t think I’ll get rid of
It’s funny this is the 4th bike that I also owned , beautiful, should be lighter then a lot of new bikes
A 2008 XT M770 crank would look Great on this bike🤘🤘
Remind me I have a 1994 Schwinn CrossFit 1998 Schwinn predator FW XS
Feels like the first time I've seen you use recreated decals in a long time - are you still making them yourself or do you buy them from somewhere? Also been curious - you used to make a lot of cool color schemes but stopped that a long time ago. Just too time consuming? Or trying to more authentically restore?
Great video with a nice end result. If I may ask- What’s the product you used to recondition the saddle with?
TOP 😎😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙🤙🥇🥇🥇
😢i miss the custon paint jobs u do can we get another vid soon? thnks
I have a schwinn homegrown as well but most of my stickers are gone. Where can I find the sticker pack you used for yours?
The Schwinn Homegrown group on FB should know.
Have a blue Moab full STX
Take that 160mm stem off. Cut out the middle. Weld it back together as a 50mm stem.
You def❗️nitely have one cool channel🤘🤘
Do you ever sell these bikes?
When ultrasonic cleaner in the workshop
did a company provide you with the Schwinn decals or did you make them with a Cricket machine?
These decals I got off someone on eBay
Thank you. I was wondering how you managed the perfect decals. I love your channel and am working on 90s bike using techniques I learned on your channel and the blue bike book from Park Tools.
Please post a shout out to your EBay decal person
Why the wheel swap?
Have you robbed Chris King warehouse?! Be honest!😅
Is the bike aluminium or steel?
Alu
Park tool is in it for the money plan and simple tools are sky high in price only people that keep them in business is bike shops and people that have deep pockets not that normal common manand ruined the bike ny putting them junk clip in pedals on it
Show me which bike tool company is in it for charity and not for the money? It's a business. Do you know of some charitable bike tool company? They also happen to make the best tools, every time I've tried to save money by buying the cheap stuff they end up stripping out. Now I go right to park tool.
Also I'm not sure why the bike is ruined because he put clipless pedals on it..... These bikes came from the factory with clipless pedals. So I guess you think Schwinn ruined their own bike.
