Aquila is an excellent frame. That was made around 1995, and it's almost equivalent to the HKEK. I still have my 1998 Aquila. Full CroMo, a bit of rust, but nothing serious after a dozen years riding in New England winters.
I still have my '93(?) full rigid Aquila, which is bone stock except for head stock/stem(?) raised to eliminate the wrist-heavy riding position of the original setup, a crotch friendly seat for commuting, and new tires. It mostly sits, but recently loaned to my son's friend who was visiting for the weekend to trail ride. He kept up with my son and friends all weekend. The frame is a bit steep on front end rake for my aging body and diminishing balance, but it is sweet to look at. Thanks for the video, I will have to check out a set of front forks that would make commuting easier for me.
Does that type of suspension fork need any type of adjustments/lube/rebuild? I’ve got one in an older Schwinn and I’m not sure if I need to do anything to it. Thanks!
Probably not much to do on that fork. It will have a coil spring in it, so it's very robust....but heavy. You could always take it apart and grease the inners.
Love this color combo of Gary Fisher. Your builds are fun to watch.

We want wheelies! Seriously, nice job.
Haha!! Definitely next build!
Someone is going to love that Frankenbike.
Well done sir 👍
I like it! Congratulations !
-hey, it looks like a parts bin bike...
-it is a parts bin bike.
Love the builds! Can you do a breakdown of the difference types of greases you use on each part? Thanks!
Gotta be honest, I really only use one grease, and it's waterproof wheel bearing grease for boat trailers.
Seus vídeos são muito bons.🇧🇷

I enjoy your videos, but I noticed a constant buzzing on the audio on this one. Is it a ballast on a florescent light or something?
I tried a moving camera sled, and apparently, you can hear it in the video....
@@DePuesshop I noticed the camera movement. It was a nice effect.
Be really cool to give this away to a homeless guy
