    Easy way to tell if the wheels are steel: If you have no brakes in the wet, they are steel.
    They are highly unlikely to be steel.

    I recently picked up a circa 2012 hybrid for $80 from a heap of junk bikes here in Korea. It was in surprisingly good condition and cleaned up well enough that I've gotten compliments on it. So there are those abandoned decent bikes to be found, and it's a great joy to fix them up. Figure I have double protection from theft because of its age and size (XL).
    If you want to change out your chainstay protector, I'd suggest paint protection tape. I found 3cm wide thick tape from the automotive section of a local Lotte department store that seems to be serving well. It cost under $3 for 3 meters, and I don't have to worry about residue an inner tube might leave.

    I’ve got two. 26” flat bar. One out of a trash bin and the other from a yard sale for $25. From my time working in a bike shop. I recognized the components as very hi quality. Obviously the rubber bits were shot. The rest just needed cleaning. Both are now very functional machines. Research dates them to the 80’s. One a specialized rockhopper. The other a Miyata Terra Runner. At that time it seemed they sold for about $800. So I’m quite pleased to discover them.

    I own a similar bike, my *Grocery Getter". It's an aluminum frame with a carbon fork, Mavic aluminum wheels (I don't care for carbon wheels, nor does my kind of riding require them), it's stock flat bar except I have a 1X10 on it. Where I ride it's all flat & the stores & doctors are about 10 minutes round trip. Any touring rides I do are on my Wilier S7. Easier to find parking, can't carry a lot but I'm retired so I have something to every other day if needed. I have collapsible pannier baskets on the back trunk rack & a trunk bag for "U" locks. When I was working this also was my "commute to work" bike. I live in Queens, NY, paved bike path & streets. Inclines are few & far between. The only high performance parts are tires since I the same tires on all my bikes, 700 x 30c, Continentals (I buy in bulk).

    I really enjoyed this video! I don't need 3x though because I don't go off-road much and when I do, I stick to places that the narrow wheels can handle. Apart from that, I pretty much got "my" bike a few weeks ago for 30 Euros plus a lot of maintenance, cleaning, new saddle, cables and bartape. I might even be able to sell the biopace chainrings, which could make this bike pretty much free of charge (I had other chainrings layingn around). Well, there are a few improvements to be made and eventually, it will cost more than 200 Euros, but that will come in small amounts. Only real down side of this bike: I am not sure if I can ever fit mudguards, because the height clearing for the wheels is tiny. But that might be due to the bullet proof schwalbe marathon plus tyres that came with the bike.
    And why do we need such bikes? Because of shopping, commuting, fun rides and much more, which is not really the perfect purpose for an expensive performance bike.

      Here in Brunei 🇧🇳 the crime rate is so low that actually you don’t really need a lock. Here you can leave your keys in the car with the engine running and go shopping and it’s still there when you get back. 😅 But my UK mind still has nightmares about stolen bikes, so for my sanity I use a cheap chain and padlock from the Oxford company. It’s just a standard chain and cheap padlock with a protective sleeve and rubber hood on it to stop it scratching your paint.
      In the UK I used an ABUS Bordo 6000 and the oxford chain and lock for the front wheel. 😅 My bike bad was very heavy in those days.

    You mentioned you don't like the hoods because the levers are poorly designed. Given that it's more of a commuting/shopping bike could you just run with a flat bar instead? Or do they not make compatible shifters/levers for a flat bar?
    On another note, I can't recall anyone praising 3x drivetrains at the front. I always thought 3x was just so kids can boast about how many gears their bike has. I suppose in this case though its fit for purpose given that it gives you the range with your preferred the 8x at the rear for durability.
    Although (slightly off topic), my wife (who is very much a beginner cyclist) got a cheap MTB a few years back with 3x and she finds it very confusing to use. Pros and cons I guess.

Mud, grit and salt ect are drawn more to around the bottom bracket if they're fixed there, real pain to undo once corroded. I rather just use outer rain clothes, you can put a tarp or something on top of the rack which does about as much, or if my bag get muddy, I just brush it off once it's dry.
      Don't understand why people think they're necessarily required, the best mudguards are the plastic kind that just clip on and off anyway.

      I had a clip on mudguard for the back but stopped using it because the rack and box protect me just fine. The front I’ve never bothered with. Here when it rains you get wet, there isn’t even any point to a rain jacket I’ve found. 😅

      @leifcian4288 I've been using Daniel Salmon aluminium mudguards since 1996. Same pair on one bike for 28 years. No rattles, no interference, no trouble whatsoever. Some mudguards actually improve aeorodynamics; like a fairing. Sure, there're lots and lots and lots of crap mudguards out there, you just haven't had the good ones. Only 22mm wide, too, which is ample for 32mm tyres, since water leaves wider tyres in pretty much the same pattern as it leaves the very narrowest. Pour some water out of an expresso cup and then out of a frying pan and see for yourself.

    Sorry, you are contradicting yourself here. Everyday shopping bike and yadda yadda but keeping up with racers. For the every day/take-some-beating type of bike 1x IS the best. Or even single speed if you live in the flat. Or simply hub gears.

      I didn’t say races. Yeah if you live in Holland you don’t need 1.1 gears. 🙂

    If it is a 26.8 millimetres seat post that also points to a Miyata frame from the mid eighties till late nineties

      No it doesn't. I have an Olmo frame which takes a 26.8.

    Slap a Bafang Ebike kit on there with a 300 Watt motor and 864 Watt-hour battery. That would make a good donor bike.

      @@reginaldscot165 True. I was working on a mid 90s MTB today. No suspension, Canty brakes, Deore DX and XT mix 8 speed. Everything still worked. Just needed a bit of a service. Then I worked on a modern bike. Fitted a brand new set of SLX disc brakes. Seal failed on piston. Arrrgh! I do like some modern bikes, but wish they were easy to work on like the oldies were.

    Any particular reason you used old school cantis instead of V brakes ?

    • @reginaldscot165

      No real reason. It was what the bike came with originally so I went with them again. V brakes would probably be better.
