This is why steel is real…,and let’s not forget, metal recycles forever. Love to hear a response from a Carbon Bunny about how good there frame is for the beautiful environment they want there grand children to ride in… Love the ‘save’, a bike with real characteristics that will always put a smile upon your face. Awesome project. Bravo.
Thanks, great vid! Wondering why you changed the headset after the build, also would like to know what was wrong with the "brifters" and how you repaired them. I think you've found the sweet spot for bike nerd DIY'ers(like me) on your channel , keep them coming!!
I used a cheap Amazon headset. Water quickly got into the bottom race and rusted it after the first wet ride. Replaced it with a Wolf tooth headset that was much better sealed and haven't had any problem since.
One of the greatest Videos I have ever seen! The creative handcraft and also the cinematic... The only thing I missed in the video was how you repaired the broken shifting lever? I really love your videos, I think you really found a niche in the big amount of bike mechanic videos in youtube, the only thing missing is the attention of a lot more well deserved subscribers!
I was trying to save money initially and used a RISK headset off Amazon. I’ve used them before and had good luck. But on this headset, the fit between the bearing and cup wasn’t perfect. I wanted to add a tapered spacer and when I considered the cost of that, and the fit with the upper bearing, I decided to just replace the headset. I’ve never ridden a bike with hybrid cable actuated hydraulic calipers. I can say how they’d perform. I’ve not gone that route mostly because the hybrid calipers are so expensive and I’ve been able to put together full hydraulic groupsets for about the same money, albeit requiring reconditioning.
I was thinking I could have showed that better. Ooof. They were gunned up with sand and grit. I removed all the housing covers and cleaned them out in the ultrasonic. Then paint and repacked with fresh grease. They worked great after the cleaning.
Cool my friend.. a lot of frames in good condition and also very good quality it can be rebuilt custom .. what a cool that you have so much knowledge.. I would like to be your apprentice. 😅 .. good luck and very good reference to try to replicate.
Just found your channel from your most recent vid. These are awesomely produced vids. Was always thinking there should be more bike content with a focus on fabrication. Good on ya, keep em comming (im getting to the vids without bikes, lol). if you ever need some cnc work done send a feeler my way!
There was a gouge in the center of the bottom bracket that made the metal thin there. The original owner put thousands of miles on the frame. All that force oscillating force from pedaling eventually fatigued the metal where it was thin and it cracked.
@@RobertAdairWorkshop Thanks for the answer. Was the gouge made accidentally like a big chip from the road while using the bicycle or was it a manufacturing fault by Chumba? I guess the distinction matters.
@@weeringjohnny It sure looked like a manufacturing defect. Like when they tapped the bottom bracket threads, something in that tap gouged the inside of the bracket shell. I didn't want to call Chumba out as I can't be sure. Definally not caused by usage. I'll say, though, if they weren't so expensive, I'd buy another Chumba frame in a heartbeat.
Great video! So much attention to details. With that much filler you could repair a whole car :), By the way I own two NSU MAX, as you repaired before., great bike!

Hey, greetings from Colorado, USA.
Amazing work, thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Beautiful build!!!
Appreciate it, thank you.

Thank you, Lazlo.
True craftsmanship. And you made yourself a wonderful bike. I guess it was A LOT of work … Thank you for sharing.

Sooo good. That red is calling my name.
Love that you can just repair a steel frame without much fuss. Been enjoying my Terlingua for a number of years now!
It's awesome to see someone whose bought one of these. Is yours holding up well?
@@RobertAdairWorkshop it is! It's been such a fun ride.
This is a fantastic looking bike - the sliding dropout reminds me of the All-City Super Professional.
Congratulations on a phenomenally well done job!
Thanks!
Thank you!

Also why did you replace the headset? And how do the juin tech semi hydraluic brakes compare to the full hydraulic ultegra brakes? :D

Keep it up man, good video and story telling and of course the built 🙌🏾 best luck greetings from Bali 🤜🏾

That is fantastic! I may take you up on the CNC offer 😀
you are an inspiration. Well done.
Awesome video,you'd never known those faults were there especially the bottom bracket,did you have to run a tap through the B.B threads again?
Thankfully, no. The threads were undamaged. Appreciate the kudos.
eres Un artista ! saludos deste argentina !!!
Very Nice, cheers.
Great work for sure and I'm very jealous of your skills, but how did that frame crack in the first place?

@@RobertAdairWorkshop
Many thanks, very informative.
@@weeringjohnny Of course. Thanks for the questions and thanks for watching. Really do appreciate sharing this stuff with you guys.
What was the baking of the small parts for?
To cure the paint and make it more durable. Baking enamel type paints helps considerably with their durability.
@@RobertAdairWorkshop neat -- that must be well known for enamel paints, but new info for me.
Great video! So much attention to details. With that much filler you could repair a whole car :), By the way I own two NSU MAX, as you repaired before., great bike!
Appreciate it! Really wasn't much filler.
Great!
