Awesome work dude. Turned out incredible. I’ve got a 92 Delta V 1000 in my rebuild queue. It’s just the simple black and white paint job and I was going to keep it original and scarred but after seeing this shine… I’m having some second thoughts!

Thank you. It is a great bike.

This is awesome to watch…want to do my F1000 and M900 now. That period of Caad 3 frame was super light and stiff. My F1000 (1998) is super fast with Mavic Cross Max. How do you do the decals?

Thank you, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate the comments. Yeah, It is very rigid. Surprisingly so. I made them all up on the computer and then printed/cut them with a Roland machine. 👍

I also have a 1996 F700 since 1996, it's yellow and less original. It was light and twitchy, still is 😂 I try to get it out for a retro ride a couple or times per year... I'm way more confident riding it than my 1995 carbon team sx 💀😂

Ah, Nice. They definitely add up to a decent low weight and feels very stiff. I'm planning to take it out again tomorrow for a decent ride, So hoping it won't be too fatiguing. I may just take the STS out. Is that the Mongoose SX?

What a great video, you deserve more subs and views. I have a 1988 sm700 alpine series in black that I am deciding what to do with. The paint is chipped, but I am hesitant to paint it because it's such a rare example. Also because when I painted my t700 it was an enormous amount of time and effort and I promptly messed up the paint a few days after it was painted. Maybe I will just do a mechanical restoration and keep it as a rider.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Lovely bike. You could always do a mechanical overhaul, Like you say. Get it all fresh and adjusted at the same time. Maybe see if you can find a similar matched paint and do some small touch in's. I did this on the GT timberline build and it came out great. Obviously that has the benefit of being speckled type finish.

Looking forward to that HS33 video, got a set myself but scared to take them apart for fear of braking something I can't replace. It'll be great to see how the adjuster wheel works as mine seem to be broken.👍

Hopefully I will have them on soon. Once you see how they are taken apart, You will be a lot more comfortable with doing it. They are fairly simple in operation.

Hi there, I have the exact same bike. 1996 F700 in Cherry Smoke. I’m stuck with the original grip shifters though, what model derailleurs and shifters are you using? Cheers
