HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2023
- Bringing back to life the most weathered tricycle I've encountered yet. Commissioned by a loving set of parents for their daughter's Christmas surprise, this rusty relic held more than just memories.
Join me as I accept the challenge to revive this sentimental tandem tricycle, once treasured by a determined lady with a heartfelt wish to pass it down to her granddaughter.
Experience the magic of transformation as we breathe new life into this family heirloom, carefully preserving not only the tricycle but the precious memories embedded in its rusted frame.There's an indescribable satisfaction in restoring such treasures, knowing that they will continue to be cherished by generations to come.

Получила истинное наслаждение от увиденного!! Спасибо огромное!!❤❤
Thank you for watching 👍
I am a very old man topping 85 years and in my youth I remember such tricycles. I come from an era where we made our own toys including scooters out of ball and roller bearings which we got out of the military depot. There was WW2 on at the time. We shared such tricycle and a larger one, with all my six brothers and sisters. My wife had to share between eight brothers and sisters but it was all fun, Very nice memories I must say.
This is my type of engineering, simple bearings, pins, rivets, nuts and bolts, spokes and solid tyres. I can feel the love of this restorer for this antique item. I can say that he made an excellent job of it. Just beautiful and so heart warming where metal is curved and formed and cared for as shown in this little tricycle. Congratulations for this work of dedication and there is more than just an old trike I see in this video, there is love for the product which many modern people do not have, as they buy and use and dispose and never understand.
Again, hearty congratulations. I can only suggest one little issue which has nothing to do with the workmanship, I felt that the scenes were too close up, and I would have felt better has the photos were not so close. The last part at 10:56 commenced to be more to my liking seeing the trike in full. I would have liked to see that trike in full splendour with a single colour background and a photo of the whole trike with a little framing , empty gap on the peripheral edges.
All the rest, you deserve more than 100% I appreciate the love that went into all that, Simple Elegant and Beautiful.
Thanks for watching and leaving such a great comment. I truly enjoyed reading it 👍
What amazes me most about restoration channels on youtube is that there are fakers out there using products to make their items resemble the pitting and years old rust that yours legitimately have .. and they get 100,000s of views , and they are lying . Then we get someone as talented as you that brings things back from the dead by sheer hard work and skill and go unrecognised by youtubes algorythum . Vince you astound me everytime you release a video and you have great video and editing skills too . .btw I never think oh another trike video.... I sit , i watch , im amazed ,sincerly i thank you. Have a fantastic trike filled new year mate .
( you missed out 'perfect' from the title .... )
Jimbo am so humbled by your kind words. Its means a lot to have people like you a few others always watching and leaving really great comments. May be am not meant to be big on YT cause I wouldn't know how to handle the fame 🤣🤣😉
Ditto...😊
there is no way that rusted titanium rolex found on the side of the road restoration video i just watched was fake.....it happens to me two or three times a week 😂
@@charlesK001 🤣🤣🤣

Wow what great restoration. You had me on the edge of my seat with this one. The care and detail that you put in shows in the finished project. I can just imagine how difficult it was to repair some of those damaged and worn pieces. I absolutely love the colours you chose. You are one of the true restore on RUclips. Outstanding job my friend. Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎅

Thank you, Richard. I think all 3 colours are brighter than what the originals would have been, but it makes the bike stand out. Hope u enjoying the holidays. Wishing you and the family a happy new year 2024 👍

Wow we had these in the 80´s in daycare I remember that exact model and you had to race to the shed to get the best one. Actually ours had no spoked wheels, that might have been a saftey change.
Thanks for watching. Glad it brought back some memories 😉👍
BETTER THAN NEW!!!

New sub for a real restoration for a change on youtube
No fake rust here 😆 - Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍
Made for toy of Jinsaw😂, is a wonderfull work.
Thanks for watching 👍
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
I also subscribed to your channel
Thank you so much for the Like, Comment and Sub.. That's a hat trick 😉. Much appreciated 👍
Wait, no streamers from the handle bars?! Jk! It looks amazing!
Loving ur comments 🤣👍
Hope you & yours had a great Christmas & didn't eat too much. 🤣🤣 You did warn us this was coming, but I wasn't expecting that much rust! 🤣🤣
This is definitely the rustiest trike you've ever done! Rust both ways, pitted & expanded. You did a great job of sorting out that! The chrome effect turned out great.
It's always a good feeling to have fasteners come out, as intended, instead of snapping. 👍🏼🤣🤣 The trikes may be old, but they never get old! Keep them coming!
Haha, you right. I threw a lil Barbie tool video just before to create distraction 🤣.
The best part is that there is now a little girl riding the exact same tricycle that her grandmother used to ride. That's special !.
Thanks as always for your support.
What do you think I should restore next 🤷🏼🤣
@@LittleRestorers That was a good distraction! 🤣
All this good old stuff needs to be restored instead of scrapped. Even better when it's something passing down generations. That's priceless.
It's more likely to be around for decades longer & enjoyed, as intended, than the new stuff, built to a budget, not a standard.
And next? That's opening Pandora's Box! 🤣🤣 Have you done any old mechanical jacks or stands? They can be a challenge. Not many parts, just difficult to dismantle without damage. You shouldn't have too many problems there! 👍🏼👍🏼
@KevinD_33x150 Sounds good... I'll call my mate Jack to see if he has a Jack. He is a bit of a jack of all trades. I've got jack all jacks except computer jacks 🤷🏼
@@LittleRestorers That's a lot of jacking around! 🤣🤣 Don't think a computer jack would cut the mustard... 🤣🤣
good work,me and the brother had same as that,maybe 1968 model,after we abused it for years dad cut the front and made a billy cart out of the back with that steel seat ,lasted for years longer....................peace
Thanks for watching. Glad the video brought back some memories of you riding yours with your brother 😉👍
Looks nice however personally I love the patina look it tells a story now fully restored all you have us another shiny new tricycle leave as is just preserve the great natural patina the developed over many years..
Thanks for watching. Was un-usable in its previous rusty condition and has been restored to owners specifications for her grand child 😉👍
Aren’t you on the wrong channel if you wanted it left as-is? This is a “RESTORATION” channel. Not a “leave it until it falls apart” channel. I think what you’re looking for is called a “land fill” channel. 🙄
Awesome 👍 I subscribed ❤️
Thank you for the sub 👍😊
Hi, do you know if you can get new plastic steering bushes. Great work.
I made my own in a previous video ruclips.net/video/5xHFozn4Q-I/видео.html.
Apparently, some old victa mover wheel bushes are a fit for the wheels but unsure what size the steering wheels are.
Yo no le hubiera dañado las llantas difíciles de remplazar por el material de antes mejor que el de ahora😮
Thanks for watching. As those type of rubber age and degrade , they become hard and brittle. Its not possible to remove them without damage and not possible to do a proper restoration without removing them as the whole rim is rusted 😉👍
Excelente 👍
Cuanto vale este lindo triciclo?
🙏🙏🇨🇴
Thanks for watching- cannot put a price on sentimental value 😉👍
Un triciclo para la rosita
Thanks for watching 😉👍
Hello 🙋♂️.
Hope your Christmas 🎅🎄 was safe and
enjoyable !!
Couple of questions please:
1: How BIG is your display cabinet at home 🏠 ?
2: Do you give your children the choice to use these amazing restorations - or, are they donated to a charity as a prize, and sold / raffled to keep the charity going ?
3: Where do you find the TIME ⌛️ to work
on such a massive masterclass of restoration ?
4: How long did it take from start to finish on the trike ?
5: Is your “day job” based in an office environment ?
Thanks 🙏
Take care and stay safe 🫶
Good lack in 2024.
James ✌️
Thank you for watching.
To answer your questions: Things I restored are mostly for myself and the kids. I occasionally restore things for friends also. This Tricycle here was for a friend's daughter as a Christmas gift.
My kids get to use everything I restored for them so it all gets played with all the time.
This project took over 4 weeks, but I did skip a lot of filming cause making a video at the same time substantially slow down the work.
My day job doesn't involve the use of tools at all, and I probably spend way more time than I should doing RUclips videos, but at the end of the day, it's just a hobby 😉👍.
Glad you enjoyed my work and thanks for the support.
Cheers
Nice resto!
Currently have a cyclops tandem and a pedal pusher in pieces in the shed I’m working on. What diameter rubber do you use for the tyres if you don’t mind me asking?
Thanks for watching. I go for 19mm on those big wheels and 16mm on the smaller dinky trikes type. Look up Fred Hay on facebook group if you after some rubber or parts. ( I won't put his details in here) Tell him I sent you 😉👍
Thank you
Quite an effort and wonderful results. You used the adjustable spanner wrong way. The fixed jaw is load bearing please
Thanks for watching.
You also used the wrong screwdriver. The one you used was a left-handed one and you should have used the green handle pliers. Brilliant restoration 👍 loved every minute of it. The finished project looks stunning regardless of how you did it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@TTown. Sometimes, things can look upside down. But that's only because I am from Down Under 🤣
@@LittleRestorers oh is that why. I'm from up over
i have RF old tricycle, but it wheels is wavey, how to fix it..? thanks before
Hi, that would be because you have loose spokes and the need to be tightened 👍
@@LittleRestorers it spokes doesnt look like regular bicycle spoke, i confuse..
@yulikasiono5695 No experience with RF but am guessing u might need to pull the rubber off to get the the end of the spokes. They likely just bend onto the rim. Go to (part.radioflyer . com) They have replacement parts, and from what i can see, the wheels are really cheap ( $8 rear, $13 front). You might consider just getting new ones to save the trouble 🤷♂️
A shiny replica!😂

Would you be interested in refurbishing a fire engine, pedal car, depending on your location that is and a rough estimate.
Hi, you can message me on Instagram , Facebook or email. Contacts are on my RUclips channel 😉

Hi, William here. Not sure where you’re located but if close I’d like you to see if this is something you could refinish.
@wmt8031 Hi William, drop me an email at littlerestorers@outlook.com , and we can discuss. Cheers
