      Thank you! Yeah these frames and components will last (if maintained) a lifetime, and they clean up really nice!

    Nice build. Those tires look good with the bike's frame.

    Looked great. I personally would have gone with an adjustable stem and a bar with some sweep for comfort.

    The 90s steel frames are such a fantastic base to start with for your all around fun bike builds, they'll usually come in at 26 27 lbs with just a few minor updates & the ride quality experienced versus the 2 or 2 and a half bills spent is one of the best bargains you can get in cycling, sure, you need to put the work in & have the proper tools but the end result is a bad ass bike for half the cost of a Walmart bike, anyways great build, everything flows well together & i see you used the more supple Schwalbe over the Maxxis DTH 👍

      Thanks so much; I couldn't have said it better myself! I haven't tried the Maxxis yet, but it's definitely on my list!

    I just picked up a 94 Tassajara purple color and plan to convert to a 1x11. I like what you did with the Billy Bonkers. I might go that route myself.

      The Billy Bonkers were really nice to work with, easy get on the rim and also pretty light; I would definitely recommend them

    Great work, enjoying watching this video. I like how you restore it, how many lubes and professional tools you use in work. I have Gary Fisher Wahoo 2007, but almost nothing left from original. Your bike still keep original soul.

    • @LateNightPedals
      @LateNightPedals  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you so much! Having the right tools for the job definitely makes restoring these bikes more efficient and enjoyable! I mainly use Park Tool products and have had great luck with them!

    Why you putting the none drive side of the bottom bracket to the drive side ?

    • @LateNightPedals
      @LateNightPedals  7 месяцев назад

      There is a vintage Shimano sealed BB unit (maybe it's an "S" or "E" model, something other than "UN") that is intentionally backwards. I have no idea why, but I've seen a few entry level Treks and now a Gary Fisher, that had this BB as stock and they were threaded oppositely. It definitely caught me off guard as well. Maybe someday someone will explain this "feature".

      That's a great idea, thank you; honestly it didn't cross my mind, but I can definitely add one, for this or the next build if there is an interest

    Nice job. I enjoyed watching this video. It was almost like meditation, listening to the background music as well. I should really start repairing my bicycle instead of handing it over to the bike repair shop all the time, although, I need to do some work to my garage, so, I will feel more encouraged to do that… I have a question? Is your Gary Fisher frame Steel or Aluminium with Steel/Chromoly forks?
    I have a 96’ Gary Fisher Tassajara with an aluminium frame and steel forks. I was thinking about getting my frame and forks sandblasted and powder coated to look like new, until I found out the thread on my forks has corroded and worn down after the headset stuck to it, and it cannot be rethreaded. So, I tried looking for identical forks for 26” wheels but can’t find any Gary Fisher ones in the U.K. on eBay, apart from in the US but they do look a little worn due to wear and tear, and the cost of shipping them here, on top of respraying my bike perhaps isn’t worth it. I had my Tassajara since 96’ when I bought it new.
    That being said, I saw an ad for a Gary Fisher Wahoo in red, similar to yours which is in excellent condition for £90 ($112.10) but I have to pay £63 ($78.47) to have it delivered from the north of England to the south of England. But unlike my Tassajara it has a steel frame instead of aluminium.

      Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the build, these bikes are a joy to work on, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go!
      This model Gary Fisher had a chromoly frame and fork, it’s a bit on the heavy side,,, I’d guess around 28lbs. Sourcing them is difficult here in Canada too… there are becoming rather expensive to find one in decent shape.
