Another alternative to remove old nasty grease I’ve found to work well is pb blaster / wd40 on a rag. They are actually detergents that break down grease. Cool project!

Dzięki za swietny film
that's for me a super bike, love how you took care of every bolt on the bike, might not be as fast as a new giant glory or specialized demo race, but older bikes are always fun with good maintentance and correct parts.

Agreed. They are more for fun factor these days. It's such a fun bike to ride!
Doing the same thing with an old Intense M3. Although I bought a frame and building it up, forks are proving very expensive. Build will take longer. Hope mine turns out as good as yours. Wanted one when they came out 2004 and 20 years later finally get to build an M3

Those old Instense M bikes were awesome. I hope you find a decent fork to put on it. Prices have been ridiculous. Good luck with your build!
Beautiful restoration, these vintage DH bikes are really worth saving in my opinion. Take care Blessings from a Brit in Berlin. 👌

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the vids 😁 Bike restorations are fun. You should definitely consider it.
Went to Snowshoe with three friends back in 1997. We were seniors in high school. Drove all night from Windsor, Ontario. Got pulled over in Ohio - state trooper let us off with a warning. We were all on hardtail XC bikes. Me on a Norco Torrent. Snowshoe wasn’t as developed or as popular as it is now. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. They had ProFlex bikes for rent - I ended up buying a ProFlex 757 frame when I got back to Canada.

A much different time. Things have come a long way. I saw a guy on an on rigid, 90s Stumpjumer when I was there. I can't see myself bombing down that mountain with rim brakes. lol. We're spoiled with all the new tech.
Классное видео, поздравляю с велосипедом 👍
Nicely done sir!

Haha those original bearing races look identical to some ones I've pulled out of resto 70s and 80s Schwinns! 😮That was a fun build! Looks great. Sidenote: You and I have almost identical resto approaches, even down to the Flitz and Bel Ray grease

Haha. Yeah, I thought about it, but this looks a lot better.
My two downhill bikes are intense brand a M1 04 edition and a M6. Both are 26 inch wheels. Love em. It’s the bread n butter of downhill. But is downhill mtb bikes in the past like 26 inch wheels ? I’d downhill fading out since all the e-bikes. ….it changed the whole bike scene. Along with all the 29rs Where is mtb going in 2024?

I hope downhill keeps going. It's so much fun. Luckily UCI World Cup downhill is still going strong. Let's hope downhill stays forever.

Cool bikes but a nightmare to ride on anything that's not steep downhill.
Is that a big crack inside the headtube @ 5:26?!?

I was wondering if someone would notice that. No, it's just a black stain that wouldn't come clean.

Yeah. I had a whole segment about it that I cut for time. 99% of the time, I'm installing a zero stack cup. I wasn't paying attention. 😕
