Excellent work, I learned a lot. I have always wanted to do a restoration and now I think I have the general idea. The video is very well - shot and edited. Time to get an old bike and go to work. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience.
Phoenix....from the ashes it arises again as a new bike...better than before. Wish I could buy this guy a set of bronze drifter pins and bronze chisels...and some 6 point wrenches and socket set. He sure can do a lot with one galvanized nail and a hammer, pliers and adjustable wrench.
@@jasbarsoph stop hating... that man did an amazing job with the simple tools + grinders, stripping etc that hew had to work with - I mean and respoked the rim, new bearings at every rotation point - awesome job!!!
Who needs a repair stand when you can squat like this gentleman for 12 hrs a day. No need to degrease any parts since there wasn't a drop of grease in any of those bearings, surprised they still have races.
This man knows now to breath new life into old rusty bikes but i wish he would pay more attention to the paint job a little more effort with wet and dry sand paper a good primer and better top coat it look's very thin. this would make it much more presentable but at least it's given someone transport... 👍
if he knew he would not have let the crank wedge sit there with backup other than his hammering, the washer he installed will never pull the gap to keep it from moving out. 15:22
@@jasbarsoph i think he did awesome & he did enough to sell it for a good profit probably... wasnt trying to make it perfect, just sellable for nice profit to someone who is paying attention to those things or to keep for himself to ride & he was satisfied
@@ericmcginnis9413 "Personally I'm not a fan of these Fixie's with single gears! Why not use the original cassette?" It's not a "fixie" and it never had a cassette. It originally had a single-gear freewheel (a single-gear bike is not necessarily, and not usually, a "fixie") like you'd find on an older BMX (which you can clearly see him remove at 4:34), and it was replaced with a new single-gear freewheel. A "fixie", AKA: fixed gear, is direct drive, meaning that if you pedal backwards it drives the rear wheel backwards too (like with a unicycle or a child's tricycle / Big Wheel). This means that you can't coast on a "fixie", because if the drive wheel is turning it forces the crank to turn as well. A cassette is a stack of different size sprockets, usually 5 or more. A single sprocket is not a cassette.
@@MaximRecoil it looks like an original 3 speed hub and to me the confound looks like one I left for a different vidio where a guy took off a cassette and used a single gear so I apologize not sure what happened here!
@@ericmcginnis9413 It didn't have a 3-speed hub. You can watch him disassemble it. There's nothing in that hub shell other than an axle, bearings, and races. It's just a basic hub, no different than a front hub, except the shell is threaded to accept a freewheel drive mechanism, exactly like older BMXs and road bikes. A three speed hub has a set of planetary gears inside the hub shell, like so - web.mit.edu/course/2/2.972/OldFiles/www/reports/three_speed_hub/smith-eric-1.gif
That was an awesome restoration & to witness your talent & dedication!!! You have a wealth of knowledge, skill & steadfast determination .... the bike went from zero to hero & you should be very proud! We should all take care of our stuff better & do more of this when things need it & our beautiful world wouldnt end up with so much discarded things to polllute it! Thank you sir for sharing the video, be well!!! :)
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Troy Dwayne i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
*Golden Hands* indeed! Great work, I'm very impressed. It's good to see old bicycles like this given another chance. The _18 Speed_ decal made me smile 🙂I guess it's a reference to the 18 tooth freewheel rear cog. Cheers 👍🏼
A master craftsman at work. I remember these Cycles in the early 1970's and they were replaced by geared cycles that just do not have the same Class as these do. Thanks for sharing.......
Paint actually sticks to steel very well. It's not like you're painting your walls where primer is needed for adhesion promotion. When painting over steel the primer is there so you can sand the surface smoother.
10:54 when I'm tightning the bolt on the axle then the frame touches the gear, what should I do? Please explain to me, if you can please show me with a video
The only thing I didn't like was that he painted the spoilers the same color as the frame and the seat cover , other than that is a beautiful bike! 👍👍🤘🤘

I like the “18 Speed” decal on a single speed bike.

And 17 more gears and a partridge in a pear tree.

Yeh and it was a nice color he chose,
Pity he didn’t prime-spray-& then the clear coat,
Not a bad job though.

The other 17 Speeds were stolen by the 'Bicycle Gear Bandit Gang'.
Personally I'm not a fan of these Fixie's with single gears! Why not use the original cassette?
Haha I'm laughing so hard here

Excellent restoration my friend.
Thanks
Appreciate love pakistan from Kuwait
thanks you very much for your appreciation. We also love you deeply
Yeah,you need to prime that bare metal before you top coat it.Good job other than that.Why the 18 speed sticker?
That confused me to
The other 17 gears will be in part two of the video.
que linda bisicleta muy bueno
Muito linda!👍😆👏👏👏
good effort
You guys rock! Just use primer before painting or the paint will flake off in no time.
Ok

its Really Good effort.
Good luck

18 speeds? xD

What did you mix with paint?
10:54 when I'm tightning the bolt on the axle then the frame touches the gear, what should I do? Please explain to me, if you can please show me with a video
Ficou ótimo.

Nice , I really like this sort of thing as it will be used everyday by real people.
Keep up the great work.

Не понимаю, у них не слышали про втулку Торпедо? С тормозным барабаном
its not a phoenix its an old RALEIGH bike from the 60s the OLD RALEIGH emblem on the front head stoke gives it away but a great reso friend
las primeras Phoenix que se fabricaron son de 1958 para que sepa
No, it's a Phoenix, a Chinese brand that has a head stock logo that's a rip-off of the Raleigh heron. Cheers 👍🏼
18Speed-17Speed :-)
