- How to strip an old bike down to the bare frame for a restoration or conversion project.
Some specialty tools are required, but not too many. In this video, I'll walk you through the process.
Thanks for your support!

Ok you inspired me to restore my 1992 Bridgestone MB2 that has been sitting in my parents garage for the last 20 years.
Verrry nice
THis was one of my first proper mountain biles, ended up a doner bike for a Stumpjumper frameset...Gripshift, Richey leavers and shimano V- brakes...loved it.
Nice!
I didn't think this sort of work had any sort of following. But here it is! I'm working on a mtb frameset I made a long time ago. Intended to be a fixed gear single speed, It's of steel lugged construction. It will have a new fork because I messed up on the offset as well as a new paint job to get rid of the gloppy looking powdercoat. Wish me luck.
Nice! These old rigid MTB's are great fun to build.
Awesome! Very helpful! You inspired me and I took my bike apart. It’s a 90s Cannondale. Trying to decide if I should send out headstock for service 🤔
Congrats on 10k! Your stuff remains 100k-subs quality
Thx, Nick!
That Hardrock is a gem! Though that cassette looked gross!
Really looking forward to seeing where you go with this frame!
Haha thankfully I’m ditching the 7sp freewheel
Looks good! Looking forward to seeing at all back together.
build video is up
Hey, can't wait for the future rebuild of that sweet frame !
Time for a Dropbar 26" gravel grinder, Spindatt style ! :)
Haha interesting thought. Perhaps down the line. Got parts for the build already
@@TheBikeSauce Can't wait for it !
Thanks for sharing :)

Dude I know. Was a definite consideration. Going a slightly different direction. Will share soon!
Super excited to see what you do with this Hard Rock. My only non-trail bike is a 1992 Hard Rock that I converted to threadless and Bullmoose bars, and is going to get a Crust Clydesdale fork shortly. I just found a 1993 (I think) Hard Rock for my wife which is getting a 0mm Discord W(right) stem and drop bars. And I just found my friend a later 90s (I think) Hard Rock with a 1 1/8 steerer tube. Hard Rocks are the gift that keep on giving!
Haha nice! Specialized fan I see
@@TheBikeSauce only old ones haha, they're just easy to find around here for cheap prices.
I used hollowtech bottom brackets on all 3 of my builds.
Was thinking about it. Also trying to save some costs. The stock up and come cleaned up really nice so I overhauled it and reinstalled
@@TheBikeSauce JG bike has a nice one for cheap.
Thanks for the great video!
Thx, Chris
I was about to comment why strip the paint then I realized u r just removing all the components. That paint looks to be in real nice condition.
Surprisingly pristine
Thank you for sharing this amazing solid bike content ... you did awesome on that Gem 🚲🤙🇨🇦.. Keep safe
i have a project of finding the cheapest price possible bike but with decent safety and fit.
so i bought a "junk bike" then finding and solving problems, test ride it just like what an expnsive bikes can do, until it reached the decent enough mark.
so i know how to tell somebody with a very tight budget.
currently around $70 full bike.
Nice video
Just picked up my 6th vintage Specialized mtb (96 Rockhopper this time). Great deal at a bike swap meet: $20 for a bare frame and fork in excellent condition. Probably going 1x7 dropbar on it since it’s my size 17” which is usually hard to find. But first have to finish this 92 GT Karakoram in Tequila Sunrise that needs cranks, pedals, handlebars, stem, cables, seatpost, saddle…
Nice! 6!
@@TheBikeSauce Yup 2 Hardrocks (87, 93: same pink/purple fade you had), 2 Rockhoppers (89, 96), 3 Stumpjumpers (89, 94, 96). Sold one Stumpy so actually down to 6 vintage Spesh. Covid hobbies.
You need some Knipex wrench pliers for threaded headsets!
Those are cool!
That bike is as old as me and is definitely in better condition.
Haha. Yes it appears this bike wasn’t ridden very much
