Nice restoration. The green and brown colour scheme really works well.
pretty friggen sweet man
Really enjoyed watching this restoration video. I especially loved your camera angles. So many videos I watch you can’t quite see what the person is doing. This was clean. Thank you. 🤩

After all that work and awesome paint job I'd be afraid of chipping the paint now.
Great renovation, a real transformation 😊
Looks amazing 😊
All new fittings? Love the colour. It looks banging!
But you left the dork disc on the wheel 😩
i would have gone with disk brakes on the front

I was tempted, but was working to a budget so decided against. Maybe on the next one!
Where did you get the decal kit? I have a Gary Fisher Piranha I'm rebuilding this summer.

I got them off eBay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362057574301?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fhMjma0mQkK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=c4ALIja1SD-&var=631286754784&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I know where one of these frames has been dumped for years if anyone needs a gear hanger..
Very nice. Are the tyres ‘Baldys’?
