Happy to see some love for the 600 tri color. I am rebuilding my 1987 Paramount with it. The original Campy parts are long gone and this was the best I could get my hands on at a reasonable price.
You've just taken things to another level there Andy. That looked like a fantastic restoration project and the grey lugs certainly set the pearl white finish off beautifully. You are doing a great job at bringing new life into old bikes , I can't believe you got hold of a turbo saddle !
Your not far wrong...I had the idea then couldn’t believe my luck when they appeared New old stock in the USA 🇺🇸 eBay saves the day 👍 Thanks for watching and the support
Marvellous, absolutely marvellous, Andy. If it's too small, fetch it up to Crumpsall and leave it with me - I'll even waive my usual 'headache-relieving' fees, just for you ('cause I'm nice like that) ;-) Seriously though, as others have said, a fitting tribute to Shimano's 100th anniversary. Wonderful work, sir.
Someone is ready to win the Tour on that bike, beautiful, Andy, thanks for bringing it back to life. And the homemade paint job was interesting, I don't recall that being a thing here in the States. We were more like just put STP stickers all over a bike. :)
Wow great job Andy. Did not think I would like the colour scheme but I love it. Miss cycling on those English country roads. All the best from Canada. John.
lovely job Andy :-) I'm about to start on my Major Nicholls that I raced on in the 80s. I've sourced a Shimano 600 group (pre tricolour) for it along with some MA40 rims. Just need to get the frame resprayed in its original midnight blue colour now. I say "just"! It'll still take me a couple of months to sort! My late dad bought me the frame as a 21st birthday present so I want to do it justice.
Thanks for watching and the support, this project has taken me months. I think it’s key to take your time and enjoy the journey. I’m sure you’ll do a great job👍🚲
I see you make films - I think I speak for many of us reading your OP when I say it'd be nice if you could share the transformation/restoration, even if it's just a before and after vid. A larger audience of appreciation for your hard work, if you will. All the best, in any event :- ) .
@@C345OFR thanks. I am planning before and after build videos. I made one a while back about my Peugeot which you can find on my channel if you like :-) (I'm not going to spam Andy's channel and post a link to it here).
Very tutorial, informative and well conveyed...I will start on my grandfather's Hetchins 54cm , grandfather is no longer around but when I look at the bike , he has never left. I will leave the beautiful patina but polish the amazing lug work on the seat stays and chain stays and bottom bracket shell and fork blades.
Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it and that’s it’s inspired you to clean and look after your late grandfathers bike. It’s a rewarding and great thing to do…enjoy and thanks for your support
Nicely done! I was able to purchase a second hand Trek 520 frame from maybe 2007 for cheap. I raided my dads parts bin and found unused shimano Deore XT rim brakes, a Deore Xt Triple crank set, an XTR front mech, and a deore xt rear mech. All from the 90s. Now I have a sweet touring bike with retro shimano. I love it!
So nice to see you again with a new bike rebuild and then with a nice idea to rebuild a bike like a shimano 600 promotion bike. Really awesome, it fit so nice together. Stay well my friend, best regards from germany ✌😃👍🚲🚲
Hello there Andy.... great to have you back with another restoration I'd had my share of no name frames over the years.... it's good to know I'm not alone.... great video and a fantastic job as always...best regards pal..🚴♂️
Thanks buddy...it’s a nice a rare thing to have a one off bicycle. Loved the ride on this one shame it’s a little to small for me otherwise it definitely would of been a keeper
I enjoyed the Banana 🍌 build also....🤔🚲I have a load of restorations to get through first, maybe start looking for anther though. No harm in looking 😬 thanks for the support and watching 👍
Once again a beautiful bike! Your videos are so pure! From parts to a flying machine!! And the attention to detail... Makes us vintage bicycle lovers feel warm inside! Keep up the great work! All the best!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words of support just happy you like. I really enjoy bringing these treasures back to life. Hopefully for future generations to appreciate. Take care all the best Andy
Greetings Mr. Andy, It's been a while since your last restore, but it sure was worth the wait. Beautiful job with this restore especially the paint scheme and small touches you added. Overall another fantastic job you have done. Congrats with the final results of your restore. Stay safe & healthy. Take care.
For all of us' back in the day' old folks great build. My first proper index group set, ma 40 rims ,531,turbo saddle, paint was lush mate. Maybe blue hoods would take it to the Jedi level.
I am not an Italian, but I've lived in milan for 30yrs. Here's two tips on how to perfect your italian bike brands pronounciation. CAMPAGNOLO say: CAM PAN YOLLOW CINELLI say: CHINELLY :-) :-) This bike looks FAB!
Hi Andy. Excellent refurb as ever - high quality work. Hope it is bequeathed to someone shorter than you who can enjoy it's full potential. Keep up your grand work.
Curious WHICH App did you use for fiddling about with the Paint Scheme? BOY WOULD I LOVE to use that App to come up with some Paint Schemes of my own. BRILLIANT Paint Scheme Idea of yours, absolute PERFECTION for the Shimano Tri-Color Groupset. Looks like the ACTUAL Shimano 600 TriColor Tribute Bike if Shimano made it themselves! I must say this is your GREATEST Restoration Job to Date!!! ... ALL of which have been PERFECTION. You have a REAL KNACK for bringing these Beautiful Vintage Bikes back to their Original Luster Andy!!!
Wow thanks buddy, I used Adobe photoshop for the design of the frame. Yes really happy myself the way this ones turned out. I do t want to reveal to much, but may have an actual Greg Lemond z-team bike on the stand very soon. 😉🚲watch this space 👍 Thanks again all the very best
Next to the gold arrow group set the 600 tri color is my favorite retro Shimano sets. Nice and clean. Sharp looking with the white frame and decal set. A perfect fit. Cheers. Sorry for the late post. Hope to see more soon.
Beautiful restoration but must admit I'm pinning for a different bike to be restored just for the novelty value. Maybe something like a folding bike; a Raleigh 20 or maybe a Dawes Kingpin or maybe a Raleigh Chopper or Grifter if you haven't done one already. Maybe a classic 3 speed hub road bike, they used to be a thing. Maybe a slightly older road bike like the old BSA's.
I was trying to restore my beat up street bike and used a product that was supposed to smooth out the paint scrapes but all it did was remove the shine from the paint. Wish I'd just spot touched it up like you do because now I have way more work to do to fix itl.
Thanks for your support George, it took an 8 speed block. I had the rims from another build, think 🤔 they were from the Raleigh 653 race build. All the best 👍
Lovely build. Even for a Campagnolo man,this works really well. However has to be said,this bike is not too small for you!...prob go for a bit more seat post showing,even for an 80’s build.
Nice , No clues from the frame number then.? A British thread BB and reynolds tubing hmm . Like the grey lug paint touch.. cannot beat that shimano group.. so durable.. Those new Turbo saddles seem harder than the old ones.. Must be me getting soft or getting used to Charge saddles which I rate quite a bit. ! Yeah good job very nice bike..
Hello my friend, no frame numbers I posted it in a load of facebook groups with no joy. I think in general the saddles are getting harder, or maybe us getting older probably the latter. Thanks so mush for you long lasting support stay well thanks again Andy
Lovely build, I’m also a fan of that groupset and have been collecting for a build. I always wish you would give a few more nerdy details about the bike build... for example you didn’t show or mention the hubs, or whether it was 7 or 8 speed, and what brake calliper bolt arrangement it had etc. Maybe you could also give a list in the description ?
Thanks for your long lasting support hope you and the family are well. Not sure about Raleigh, I posted the original frame in so many Facebook groups with no joy. 🚲
Another amazing job, Andy! Love the details on the frame, especially the grey lugs. What did you do to treat scratches on the groupset components without removing the anodising?
Thanks for all the great content. Your channel inspired me to start my own first restauration project, a Peugeot road bike from '79. I was wondering thouch how much time does it usually take you to finish an entire retsauration project?
Honestly it really does matter on the condition of the bike and the work involved. Plus finding the correct parts can also take time. I’d say 2 weeks up to a couple months depending on the project. I just try and enjoy what I’m doing don’t rush and do it to the best of my ability. 👍🚲
Amazing build to celebrate 100 years of Shimano. Did you have to do anything to the lettering on the group set? Was it in such a good condition when you received it?
The more I watch your videos the more I like them haha Btw, I recently bought this Peugeot from the early 70s and the crank extractor does not thread in (only like half a turn), is the threading different like the French bb threading? The thread looks clean to me. If it is a different threading I suspect getting hold of an old extractor is going to be extremely difficult
On the Vintage Claud Butler 531 restoration I have a very similar problem with a strong light crank. I used an extractor ruses in the car industry as shown in the video. Someone also posted a link for the correct tool. Hope this helps thanks for watching and your support www.ebay.com/itm/2in1-Stronglight-Specialites-T-A-removal-remover-crankset-Arm-Puller-Tool-NEW-/222325878325?hash=item33c3a7ae35%3Ag%3Ax7oAAOSwol5YwWeB

Great resto. Any idea of the vintage, I'd say 80s I'd the shift levers are direct fit.
Thanks yes I’d say the same early 80’s I was thinking 🤔
Another amazing job. I’d love to see you restore a Panasonic Team or Bridgestone RB1, maybe with Suntour Superbe
Yes I’d love to get hold of a Panasonic or Bridgestone they are a couple of brands thin on the ground here in the UK
Very nice build, you should have put the BR6403 dual pivot brakes on it.
