Cool to see a "normal" bike serviced! We've all seen many superbike restorations but fewer of these commuter bike jobs. Thanks!
I nabbed one of these for $250US in great condition and had no idea what a sweet bike it actually was. I enjoyed the restoration
Just bought a second hand Giant CSR 1.0 for winter riding I already have a giant Defy road bike and i am amazed at the quality of the these bikes for the price , loved watching this and will be going through the CSR cleaning and lubricating the moving parts like this - picked up a few tips already .. love the channel ..
Enjoy it Tony!🧡⚙️
I've owned a Giant Escape 1 since 2013 and still happy with it. Commute and leisure, rarely serviced but still good!
Enjoy it!🧡⚙️
I’m a new owner of a two year old mfg. Giant . This video is informative, helpful, and enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!🧡
I'm glad to see you use "anti- seize" on the pedal threads and other places instead of grease. That is TOP NOTCH service.
Thanks very much Mike!🧡
picked up a bike like this today brand new for a steal rides perfect just flies
Got this bike in 2014, mine his still in great condition. Cleaned it up and started riding it until I resolve my road bike that's out of action due to an accident. This Giant Escape 3 is great for its price.
That’s great! Enjoy it!🧡
That's craftsmanship right there.Makes me wish i had my old bike so i could get it restored.
It’s a very rewarding process, thanks for watching again!🧡
Always looking out for the customer’s best interest text book customer service! Nice job as always
I love watching your process. It's clear to see from experience you've developed a service routine that flows very well from one step to the next. Very well done. You're my bike repair hero.
We really appreciate the kind words Antoine, this is a very nice comment to receive🧡🚲
I really enjoyed this one. It's one thing to see some $7000 pinerello or cervello serviced and cleaned up, but an everyday normal (well used) bike made to look that good again is awesome. Well done and I hope your channel continues to grow. 👍
We have a little saying in the shop of “would I ride an Ironman on it” and if the answer is yes we’re happy to let it go out, so wether it’s a daily hybrid like this or one of our top top end bikes we like to get them all to the same level
I love watching your videos! Thanks for doing such a great service!
Glad you enjoyed them we really appreciate the support 🧡⚙️
Ive always loved riding bikes theres something therapeutic about it. Great service tho.
Enjoy your riding and thanks for watching!🧡
@@Bikespeeds thankyou will do!!!
Top craftsmanship
This bike came up lovely, the new chainset and mudguards really made a difference, looks fantastic 👌
Thanks for watching and commenting Dan🧡
As a home based, self-taught bike mechanic, with about 15 years under my belt, I stumbled upon your channel while looking for bike related videos. Right of the bat, your attention to detail is to be praised. Stripping and cleaning the entire bike, then turning it from used and tired to "new" and ready to roll is always an interesting and enjoyable undertaking. I've picked up a few ideas already and noticed some of the tools you use, one of which I've ordered from my local Mountain Equipment Coop store. All I have to do now is take a really good look at the layout of my shop, to see how best I can maximize work and storage spaces, while still keeping it a multi-discipline area, i.e.: bikes, small engines, woodworking, etc...to name a few.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris this was an interesting one to read thanks for taking the time to comment, what tool did you buy?🧡🚲
@@Bikespeeds I've opted to buy the Park Tools cable and housing cutter, instead of using side cutters and a hammer 🙂, which will help as I deal with bikes that have been seriously neglected and left for dead on the side of the road.
Great choice. I’ve don’t thousands of cuts with mine & it still cuts like new.
Nice to see a normal bike get serviced, love what you do.
Thanks James, we appreciate the support🧡
Strangely therapeutic viewing
Bike was pretty easy to put together and rides very well
Another great tune up.
That must be so satisfying to restore bikes like that and return to the owners looking like new. Thanks for the videos that you produce.
Thanks for the support Tony🧡⚙️
I wanna see you guys servicing a titanium bike one day
Thanks, I wondered why my torque wrench wasn't working on BB!
I have the same model bike. I need to do something similar but dang that is a lot of work. Props to you.
Good luck with your bike! Enjoy it 🧡⚙️
My first video of yours I have watched. Great work!!
Thanks very much!🧡⚙️💪🏼
What a job you have done on this bike, it looked like a new bike and I bet it runs better than a new bike now with that hard work.
Still here! Just with a little bit of delay ! Thank you for such an amazing job! Thank you for mention my comment in your video! I watch with a little bit of delay because of slow internet but still happy to be part of this!
Thanks for watching, as always!
So great to see the huge amount of change that can be done even to an average joe's bike. Well done!
I wish you did my giant bike it needs a restore and paint job.. nice work 👍 👍👍
We love a Giant. Thanks Carlos 🧡⚙️
Good for another 20 years.
Excellent video , lots of love for that good old bike :)
Greetings from Guadalajara Mexico
We appreciate the comment! Thanks for the kind words 🧡🇲🇽
Lovely work, as usual. I really enjoy watching you go through such filthy and forgotten bikes, and leaving them in as new condition
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for watching Mtus 🧡
What a detailed work! It’s great to see bikes being brought back to life line this. Love your channel.
Thanks for commenting the kind words 🧡
What an amazing service. So nice!
Well done to Bikespeeds on another quality piece of workmanship and also well done the customer on having the bike restored to its former glory rather than resort to a new one. Great video!
Thanks for watching and commenting Carl, this one was an incredible before and after!
That saddle🤣 cracking job though.
What a transformation. Beautiful. Well done. Love these videos and great to see a “normal” bike get the full works also.
Great as always. Bravo from Greece...
Just found your channel and really enjoying it. It's good to see that you are working on 'ordinary' bikes that we ride every day as well as top end. I have subscribed and catching up on previous videos that you've done. Thanks for sharing. Des P
Thanks for joining us Des! Glad you’re enjoying all the content🧡⚙️
Love your choice of new components. Their bright details look awesome against the black of the frame and mudguards etc. A really useful bike!
appreciate your work. Love from India.
🧡🇮🇳
A grand job. Looks like new
Love your work boys
Cheers!🧡💪🏼⚙️
Nice work, that bike looks awesome for commuter
Wow, great vid again guys. What a lovely bike.
Thanks Fraser 🧡👍🏻🚲
Great job!
Wish you were up near Manchester! Brilliant work
Thanks Gloss!
Yeah, I was hoping the good old t-cut was going to be coming out for this detail. Superb job, as usual. 🙌😎
Never fails does it👌🏼
@@Bikespeeds I’m visiting the UK in the next few weeks and will pick up a tin of it to bring back to Finland 😉🇫🇮
Really great video with quality information! Thanks
Thank you!🧡⚙️
Beautiful also. This bike is like new again and hope the owner will enjoy it for years to come. I noticed you were truing the wheel with the tyre on, but I always take off any tyre, or is that not necessary?
Not always, in fact occasionally the pressure in the tyre will alter the result so sometimes it’s actually better!
Greetings from Canada. Just found your channel, and thoroughly enjoy watching the rebuild process. Thanks and please keep the videos coming. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words Kevin!🧡🚲
Damn! I’ve so enjoyed watching these videos and have subscribed without delay. I think they call it ASMR but whatever, it’s a very relaxing process watching the turnaround and recovery of some of these bikes. Having a five bike fleet, I’ve always kept them maintained and clean and do enjoy it (ideally on dry sunny days of course!) but your attention to detail is definitely something an obsessive like me can really appreciate. A real shame you’re a few hundred miles too far of being my L.B.S. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words!🧡🚲
Liked and subscribed. Great video and a lovely bike!
Wish I was more local to you guys 😔 great videos. Can't stop watching haha
Thanks for watching Matt! Always appreciate someone taking the time to comment🧡
So satisfying watching how clean this bike becomes
Thanks for enjoying it!🧡⚙️
Amazing job. The amount of neglect that bike has been put through, I had no Idea it could be brought back to such great condition. I honestly would have thought it beyond help. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching!
Greetings again from New York City. Great work as usual with this GIANT service, love the way the paint came back to shine after the work. The replacement parts also brought it up a couple of notches. 🚲
Thanks for watching! Glad we could reach you all the way over in New York🧡
Hello from Ponchatoula Louisiana.
I’m just getting back to cycling after about thirty years of only the occasional ride at a campground. I think your content is great. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed and liked all videos I have watched.
Hi James thanks for taking the time to comment and support the channel liking the videos, enjoy your time riding!🧡🚲
Would of looked nice with a nice gumwall tire on it ,beautiful job
Some of those entry level parts are really good for what they cost. I still keep all the things i take off just in case part is still usable. That chain was shot , shame you could not change the rings on the chain set. Shifting must have been slack with the old parts. Thanks from Atlanta GA.
Keeping things is a great tip, with our own personal bikes we keep bits and bobs and you do use them over the years!
Fab bike well done too love the finish
The work polishing really makes an incredible shine
Great job again buddy 🇬🇧👍
Always need a snap-on at some point, as always love your work
We treat our selves to snap on tools wherever possible!🧡
Hello Bike Speed Team! Again a very nice video! Thank you to the owner for his/her patience letting you film it! It’s great to see how much life bikes can have in them with elbow grease and spare parts!
I‘m curious how much money this job was in the end for the customer - would you share this? (Maybe also as a PM). I really think it would be interesting since todays shortages in bike but also parts delivery: sometimes new bikes aren’t even an option and some people hesitate bringing old bikes back to life…
Thank you for this great content! BR from Germany!
Original 👍
Great job need to do this to my hybrid
Another great one! Nice bike too. 👍
Really nice and clear job. Just continue and do the more videos like this 👍
I subscribe to a number of youtube chanels, yours is top of my list. Great vid I've dealt with a number of mates bikes in almost the same condition so satisfying to see the look on their faces when I hand their bike back and I really only do it for fun only ever charge for parts and consumables so they get a bike back that they thought was only fit for the scrap yard.
Look forward to the next vid.
Hi Rupert thanks for the kind comment! Enjoy your work on the bikes it is a very rewarding process🧡🚲
New subscriber. Wishing Belfast had a shop like this. Good luck with the channel. This new subscriber will be following.
Oh, nice Oyster Quartz.
Thanks for watching and commenting Gerald, nice spot 😉⌚️
love from PH! Keep it up!
Great work, very satisfying. What torque do you recommend for bottom bracket installation? Thanks.
Are located in Oxford or near that location. We'll done i really enjoy watching these videos.
astounded by how much you were able to improve the paint. What would you use on a carbon frame with paint?
Standard polish works incredibly well on a carbon lacquer🧡
Great work as always, keep it up 😎
Do you wash the bike in the middle of the shop?? Or is there some sort of container where the water goes to? I'm always wondering how wet the floor gets..🤔
We do wash bikes in the shop, there’s a lot of “movie magic” that goes into these videos which is often things that just aren’t interesting to show, like for example us mopping up after cleaning, so after every wash we mop the floor to keep it dry🧡
Awesome video once again! Was patiently waiting for your next video to come out😀 Wish you had time to make more
It’s incredibly time consuming we film unusually over 2 days and then Simon spends 2/3 days editing. At the moment we couldn’t do 2 in a week but once we get some sponsors we may be able too
@@Bikespeeds I totally understand, just would be great if you could haha. Keep up the great work regardless!
Thanks for watching! Let’s see what the future holds
Great video, as always!
Any tips for washing hands after a job like this? I find that soap and water doesn't cut it for me.
Actually yes! Rinse your hands in your degreasing bath, then wash it off with water, works for us!
Cool town bike! Why not new grips though 😧
What's in the spray bottle? Is it just soapy water or an actual product ?
That is autoglym snow foam, it’s listed on our website but all we could get is a big bottle!🧡
I really wonder what's going on with the rear hub. Was it still good although the bottom bracket had to be replaced?
Great content as usual keep it up 👍
Thanks for watching nunu!🧡🚲
With touring/commuter bicycles like this one, have you ever been approached with the idea of converting one to an internally geared hub? Just curious.
Not for a customer which is all the work we do really🧡
Love the videos.. watching from kenya..🇰🇪🇰🇪
The attention to detail is just immaculate..
Could you accept apprenticeship??..
Thanks for watching 🧡
What upgrades would you recommend to increase my hill climbing ability for my Giant Cypress 2?
Great videos. I really enjoy watching them. Any chance of including the prices you charge?
Just discovered this channel and I'm loving it! What liquid do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner? I got myself a 6 litre one after seeing yours :D
We us a water based degreaser
@@Bikespeeds could you be specific please? Is it for ultrasonic cleaners specifically? Do you use a surfactant too like washing up liquid? I read that it suspends the dirt in the bubbles and makes cleaning more effective
How come you didn't change the wheel bearings? That's the biggest thing I want to do on my used Cypress.... Any links for that btw? Lol.
I wonder what year this bike is from. I have one Giant Escape myself from 2015 and I did a similar job 2 years ago. At that time he had 9,000 km. mileage.
We actually couldn’t tell you. Great that you’re enjoying your escape!🧡⚙️
Nice vid
7:38
still bothers me, the pinch bolt still had some rust?
Hi can I know which mudguard model are these?
Hello! May I know the measure of the bike headset that you used? Thanks. 🤗
Hi. I’m really sorry, we do so many bikes in the cause of a week I lose track.
You should have roped in the owner for the cleaning of the whole bike part...😅😅😅
Please tell us the cost of these repairs…
What do you call to this thing here at 7:56 ?
I am not interested in this stuff. What I would like, for every model, is a list of special tools required, and service intervals. That would actually be helpful information since mfrs fail to include these things, and owners are left in the dark. It would be nice to have access to a library like that. I'd like to search for 'talon 4 service', and find a video that states every special tool required, where to buy them, and the maintenance interval for every component. That would be so valuable.
Honestly, I don't have time to watch someone polish a wheel or whatever. That's completely useless to me, and a waste of time.
Nice job, but i afraid you restore job costed more than a good second hand bike would have costed.
I restored my Giant Escape 1 with second hand and aliexpress parts.
It's not always about replacing parts. Maybe the owner is tight on budget, and all he could afford was a service.
@@Traildude193 then why infest in expensive new parts?
@stormfox81 sometimes you need to buy new parts but sometimes they can get serviced and work like a new part.
