Yeah ew, how dare people talk about what their passionate about, especially if it's not football or cars, right? Wankers. Man, I'm so glad not to be you.

Whilst this video is not a panacea for depression, lockdown blues, not getting laid since November and tinnitus, it certainly made me feel a fuckton better. Very hypnotic and soothing and has inspired me to build my own bike so, you know, thanks very much.

Metal on metal always needs grease. Whoever restores that bike in ten years time will never get the parts apart again. Think about the future when you restore! Very nice bike.

Love this my guy!! Getting the planning started for redoing my single speed Marin, great help!

There was something… satisfying about watching this. It was almost relaxing to a point.

dude, this whole video is very mesmerising, even touching,... just think of the numerous people that used to ride that bike, not speaking of the distances that it rode and the places it visited... thank You!! ..

13 minutes and bike is ready, such a great result!

Hey great video, doing my first build on nearly identical frame and year. Still in the stripdown phase but this video is super helpful since all the parts are the same as on mine. Planning on replacing the BB and cranks but after seeing how well you were able to clean the BB I might keep it. Thanks man

The final product is quite impressive, I think you have done a really good job there. Thanks for sharing.

This video is very inspiring to watch. I was thinking for some time to pick up converting road bikes into fixed or SS as a hobby. You know what, I'll do it, I have an old Peugeot frame arriving soon anyway. That Batavus is BEAUTIFUL. And actually you can pick up old Batavus here in Croatia for cheap. I'll keep my eye on the ads :D Oh, and I LOVE your channel, you guys are pretty awesome!

Hey! Check this out i hide a lot of fails in my video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIGBlY9_cpe8daw.html

You made it look so easy to brush the paint off :O! It took us days! The metal wires would fly off the brush and sting us and get stuck in our clothes (kinda painful actually :D) To get the paint off of two bikes, we went through a number of these grinder's brushes... We also used sand blasting with air compressors for the small corners, but that was slooow. The sand would regularly form blocks in the 'gun' and we had to reload the 'sand gun' for every couple of square centimeters of paint it took off the frame...

@Raphson

4 жыл бұрын

Hey! Yeah I have to confess that I did not do justice to the process of removing the paint. It is for a reason that the small corners were spraypainted black by us hahaha. I have done sandblasting in the past which worked pretty neat but indeed, it is a pain to do this properly. My cameraman has done an entire frame by hand though. And by hand I mean with sanding paper, no powertools!!!

Rufus Gillespie, I like to restore old bikes where possible, I have taken quite a few abroad to give to people who can't afford one. Years ago I weld repaired an aluminium frame bike. Still riding it to this day.

great work! great video! cheers from florida

great work! I love this video :)

Awesome build awesome colors and awesome parts design

Very cool. I like the design. It gave me many ideas.

Great video , really nice shots of all the parts . one thing I would have included for beginners is the frame selection and optimal dropouts to chose .

Awesome video, thanks for posting! This bike looks a lot like my 1970's Raleigh 10-speed. I recently stripped it down, meaning to rebuild it in its original form, but after watching your video, I'm thinking of turning it into a fixed-gear bike. That would be so much fun! One question: where do you get a wheel that has a fixed cog on one side and freewheel on the other? And do you have to do anything special to get the chain to align correctly when replacing a gear cluster with a fixed/free cog?

@Raphson

4 жыл бұрын

Hey! Awesome that you have been inspired by the video! That kind of wheels are called flip flop wheels, or wheels with a flip flop hub. I got mine online second hand for like 10 euros, since the paint was really crappy. But it works and that is what is important for me. The alignment of the chain is important yes, I did not have to do anything for this one, but sometimes you do want to play around with spacers or the wheel bearings to make it align more properly.

awesome man...just awesome

What a nice work!
