I think tan is such an underrated color. Matte tan looks amazing on the bike.

Yea me too, I was straight thinkin: "damn I'm still waiting for the time when my old bike is gonna be a cannondale full susp beauty:("

That was 1000X more interesting than "we built a new bike with the best parts" build or a "we washed a bike now its good as new hurr durr" build. Nothing better than watching a true artist and craftsman at work.

Not a fan of the cranks and handlebars matching the frame but other than that super cool rebuild man!

Love to see people restoring and repairing bikes instead of buying new!! Awesome vid

Why are the tear downs so emotional!!! I see all of your miles bro

Man, I do the same every winter to another bike out of our family. Same jobs, same tools, same torn black gloves... I love doing this in winter more than freaking out in the mud. Cool video!

The best vids are of cool folk restoring and upgrading old 26 inch frames , far much cooler than showing off the latest I-shifter!

I restored like 5 older but high quality bikes with modern parts this year and sold them to new owners. So awesome to see those bikes with new parts. I didn’t go to your extent with new paint and everything but the bikes still looked ready to rip again 10 years later! Awesome to see someone doing the same.

Knowledge. Skill. And the right tools. Perfect combination and a pleasure to watch!! Many thanks!

That should be classified as art!!! Loved every single second

This has to be the most calming and satisfying video I've ever seen. Top job, mate.

I love your attention to detail. Not only did you bring a second life back into the bike but did it with style and super neat editing. Easily slammed that subscribe button, HARD. Well done!

Ah dude! Thing I like most about this vid is how you remove your bearings with the press and a socket. I have a "tool" for doing that - couple of inches of threaded rod, two appropriately sized sockets facing each other (one the size of the bearing, the other larger to "receive" it being pushed out), washers outside those, and a bolt on each end. I then just apply pressure on each bolt and it pushes the bearing through. If you're careful enough you can invert the set up and push new bearings back in nice and square with the same thing.

Thoroughly enjoyed the restoration. That desert tan looks killer!

This build is amazing. I love that you kept the bike and restored with such a sick power coat color.

Loving it. Wish we saw more older but perfectly good bikes restored and ragging the trails, I'd happily take that out for a blast.

That whole video was totally mesmerising man. Wow! What an awesome job! The tools you have, I can buy. The skills you have, I can never have! Great work.

So good! I had this bike years ago and this video reminded me how good it was. Must be such a fun bike to ride with the 650b up front!

This is just so satisfying to watch, i love seeing old bikes being brought back to life

Awesome rebuild of this beauty. I am in love with your Jekyll! Thanks for sharing, thumbs up and greetings from Germany.

This may possibly be one of the most underrated channels of KZread

I’m just over here drooling at the all the tools/equipment you have

WOW, truly love this build. Excited to see how your channel grows! PSA at the end I would love to see more shots even riding of the completed bike. Need to give that puppy some more screen time once she is finished! keep up the good content. you will go far here.

Wow the best restore of a bike I've ever seen, it's not just paint the bike but restore all the parts, components, ... Nice work !

Absolute magic. As someone who has a modernized and modded 2010 Kona with adjustable geo and travel this is gold. I always loved the old Jekyll but hated the colour. I watch plenty of car restomod videos and plenty of bike build videos but this is money. The understated music with mechanical sounds was choice. Why don't more people do this? Bicycle hotrodding.

THAT was satisfying to watch. Keep it up!

Did this to my son's cove, same colour, kudos to the build, looks super nice

Desert Tan looks SO good on bikes!

Hej Andrew, you are doing a great job! Respect that you paint it youself and exchange all of the smallest parts and pieces! Its gonna be like a brand new bike! And you have the videographic skills as well, that really helps showing the beauty of restoring the bikes! Great videos=D Coming over from your Photography Channel, one of my favourite Fuji channels, and i love that you are beside that also a bike enthusiast! And, doing both amazingly well! Congrats and all the best for the upcoming year!

I'm doing the same thing to my 2004 Jekyll. You wanna talk budget build? I'm the king. Mechanical disk, 3x9, 1inch bars, it's been a long road, especially living in Hawaii where parts and skilled bike mechs such as yourself are rare. We're also not known for bike trails either. But it's a beautiful place to cruise around. Loved your video! And you have a freaking SAND BLASTER ! Stay well. Mahalo and Aloha!

That powder coat job with black decals is slick. I have a Cannondale road bike and BOY do they ever overdo it with the decals. Every tube has the name/logo on it 2-4 times.

That was an awesome restore and upgrade, I thoroughly enjoyed that! Something that may assist in the future, if you weed the excess vinyl before installing the decal it may help things go a bit more smoothly for installation and save you a few minutes.

Awesome build

All hail ALLOY!!! I don’t give a shit who thinks that CF is King...they’re hyped garbage. Aluminum survives! Amazing video! I have torn down and restored at least 4 “old friends” over the last 20 years...the therapy in disassembling an entire bike, replacing all of its consumables...blasting, painting, powder coat, polishing...each one is the same friend, maybe not better, but ready for more years of riding to come!

The perfect base and well made.

the kinda youtube content i was looking for for a long time.

WOW!!!! SO COOL! Nice bike

really nice work, congrats.

Very cool. You have some great knowledge and great tools... ain't it great to make old things new?!
