The guys in my local Bike shops told me that there is no way to do that but apparently there is! After I saw your video and the derailleur hanger you used, I bought one and I'm finally going to convert my bike, so thank you so much!

    Great restoration! One comment I’d make is that I think one of the cotter pins was in the wrong way around which is why the crank arms weren’t 180 degrees. Easy mistake to make as I’ve worked on a lot of cottered bikes. Love the cotter press, really want one but can’t justify it right now.

    Hay Andrew Loving the new channel. I really liked youre idea of sand blasting through the stencil, shame id didnt work out. Could you try getting some metal acid etching liquid or alternatively try electro etching. I think you can do it cheaply with a salt water Q-tip a 9v batter and some alligator clips.

    Two things to mention:
    1. Never thought that Positron cables are still produced/sold (it's such an old technology), so at the beginning of the video i was shocked when you cut the old cables
    2. The new grips are mounted a bit incorrectly. Those "finger ridges" should be positioned downwards, because in this direction would be unconfortable.
