I really enjoyed watching you work on bike .lve been buying bikes for the last month and bringing them back to life. You have give me some new skills thanks.
Good job on the restoration. A word of advice: WD-40 IS NOT a penetration oil. It is a buffer between water and oxidation. A better penetrating oil is PB-Blaster or Freeze-Loc, two products I've personally used while working on cars and bicycles. They work much better at dealing with rust and galvanic corrosion (the corrosion that happens between iron or steel and aluminum). Edit: Only other wrong things I've seen in this video is the brake setup between the front and rear brakes, and the lack of a spoke protector between the rear freewheel and rear wheel spokes. The spoke protector is there to prevent an overshift condition on first gear, which, under load, could destroy spokes. And even if you think you have the lower derailleur limit screw properly set, an overshift condition can still happen. It did to me about 6 weeks ago, and I am very thorough on my bike maintenance. As for the brakes and shifters, the main reason why you put the rear shifter with the rear brake is for ease of maintenance. That way, if you ever have to service only one half of the bike, you're only dealing with one shifter and brake lever, not both, as you've set them up. Additionally, the bar ends are for cruising purposes, and you should not have set them up so vertical as you did, as they are meant for being a resting bar for your hands when you're not braking, shifting, or needing total control on maneuverability by needing to have your hands on the actual handlebars.
Making a bike that will last another 30 years instead of throwing it in the trash! Great job, looks awesome. Also, if you removed the rain fenders and the side handle bar things, the bike would a little more modern.
Hola amigo buen tutorial solo un detalle los BAR END o extensores del MANUBRE nunca se ponen asi te caes y te los incrustas en el pecho no son para ir mss arriba es para extender tu posicion hacia adelante...espero la gente que vea no los instale asi...saludos
i think ... 1. you overdid it with too many logos. the "classic" look will stand-out without the need for decals. Also the white decals contrasting that paint looks like an ice cream brand. "Overlord" can be misread as "Overload" because of the strange font. Overlord means a vicious tyrant, that font looks like a Walt Disney cartoon. 2. the finish is rough especially on the head tube and top tube. (i didnt see a close-up of the other tubes) perhaps you should have spent more time in applying a nice thick primer and sanding. 3. Those fat mudguards look horrible 4. The handlebar extensions don't belong to that bike or any bike 5. you have done a great effort but this bike is not impressive. constructive criticism. up to you if you want to accept it and improve or just ignore it and commit more mistakes
Technically I would agree with your criticism but I think it's too harsh and doesn't apply here. Our guy here just wanted to bring a wreck back to life, using budget parts and a lot of manual work. Is it worth it? In his country and for his customers, maybe. Therefore thumbs up from me for this successful restoration.
Great job restoring it,😊 by the way lean forward the bar ends a little bit from the handle bar.
Thank you, I will consider that for next time!👍
I love your work of art
Que hermosa quedó !!
I'm glad you liked the transformation! 😊❤️

Hello, thank you very much for watching my video😍
I am very glad that you enjoyed it and that I was able to make a useful video

Thank you very much for watching the video 🥰You taught me very valuable tips, I will try to do them, thank you for your comments❤
А я ещё увидел, что задняя покрышка стоит не правильно, направление рисунка противоположно движению.
Woooooow Fantastic bike!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks ✌️
You Work is inspiring .... Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

Nice work brother ❤🎉
Hard working

Fenders and "handle bar things" are extremely useful if you care about riding rather than just looks.

AS REFORMAS SÃO TOPS... AGORA ESSES ACESSÓRIOS SÃO FEIOS KKKII
NEVER USE torque in Allen bolts
Thank you for your guidance

constructive criticism.
up to you if you want to accept it and improve or just ignore it and commit more mistakes
And i think only painting the fork without maintenace is not enough in such a restoration

Disagree to your point 4: bar ends were state of the art on MTB racers in the '90s, although not mounted upright as in this build.
