Old Road Bike To Single Speed - PUCH
Ойын-сауық
An eBay £40 buy, I turned this vintage tired rusty road bicycle into a clean looking single speed bike, with new wheels, cranks, chain, seat post, seat and brakes.
I wanted to experiment with creating the usually chromed look on the rear end and forks by polishing the frame and then clear coating afte the paint was applied to the rest of the bike, it turned out really nice and we shall see if it holds out to the rust.
Another bike destined for the scrap pile saved and now a useable everyday nice looking bike.

I absolutely love the choice of colors with that deep dark shade of blue, the black crank set, and the wonderful stripped steel at the rear. The only thing that would make this possible any better would be to make it a fixed gear and remove those brakes 😏
I just finished rebuilding a 1996 Cannondale road. I was going to strip, paint and shine the project but it felt like I was just making it pretty for a bike thief. I used Plasti Dip and left the brakes and crank dirty but it rides like a thousand dollar bike 😊
Great conversion and paint job! 🚲 Thank You for sharing. 🙂
Love those Puchs. That’s one way to remove those cranks! 😆 Nice job.
The stop motion editing was awesome
5:04: The ancestral technique of « the frame around the vise »🤣🤣 Tho very good video, and beautiful!
So nice. Very pleasing result. Nothing beats the shower if sparks and smell of heated metal and grease. Pro-tip on cotters: use a screw press to push them out, or a small drift (not too small) to keep the "mushrooming" to a minimum. I f* hate cottered cranks, but they look so good, so I do my best to re-use them. I look forward to the day I toss them in the metal scrap bin.
Beautifully done! 😎👍
Felicitaciones amigo, toda bici antigua siempre es recuperable, tengo una PUCH urbana es excelente su diseño, saludos desde Lima PERU.
Hello and greetings from Germany! Thanks for this video and congrats to you, an amazing result 💪👍 take care and keep on going 🌞🍀
Thumbs up for the effort in removing the crankset ..happened to me too lol
One word, BEAUTIFUL.
This is like a gameplay no commentary videos on YT. Already subscribed.
Super nice - well done!
Awesome build!
Great job. Such a good watch.
badass! keep em coming man, makes work better
Watching you beat the shit out of that old crankset really made my day 🔥🔥🔥
Quedó muy bien. Mucha onda la bici. Copada 💪🏻. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I was really hoping for spring loaded worms to pop out of the crank after all that. 😂Bravo! 🎉
so rad !!! keeep them vids coming !!!!
Very nice looking bike and I appreciate the editing ! Couldn't help but notice that you flipped the headset bearings. Great job anyways !
Another bike lives👍👍👍
Very nice job.
Bad start great finish..Good job
finally an old Puch! love the colour, great job! nice filming too!
Good job!
I just saw that crankset fucking up so hard and just thought: omg have fun with the button bracket aswell haha :D great job, looks awesome
nice work!
awesome, ty man, great job
This is nice bike man
Fine job
Sick bike
I use to do it this way when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s, I didn’t know there were special tools for removing and installing bike parts
Another bike saved from the tip. Nice 👍
that is a freakin sexy bike, great choices.
Love it..
We have the same stand, big up
Metal grinders are awesome!
Your edits are much appreciated . I like your style.
nice idea with polishing back triangle pipes but the chain line is ok ? drive is noisy
Sick!
sick!!!
Umm. I don’t think those pins were seized, rather you were beating them in?🤷🏻♂️
13:30 your original brake calipers cleaned up nice, but... I would have bought some dual pivot calipers. Love the stopping power of dual piviot calipers.
legend says it is still stuck
For the clavette (key in english ?) instead of grinder hard try drill a hole in the clavette, it works. Thanks for the video, good work.
Nice
2:45 ▶️ You probably already know this but channel lock pliers have proper leverage when flipped around the opposite way.
I like it. Well done! Who makes the brake levers? Those were a nice touch.
You live on a flat area, nice job!
I'm planning to do this myself but I have two questions: How did you mount a ahead stem on a threaded fork? And where are these chain noises coming from?

those types of crancks are always seized haha
What kind of wheels are those? They look nice.
Nice bike and work etc. But what is that sound?
May I ask what is the size of Bottom Bracket that you used?
i like
HI. VERY NICE VIDEO. CAN I ASK U WAHAT SIZE IS THIS FRAME AND HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT SIZE IF I'M 176 cm
14:46 you put that bearing upside down?
Damn dude, this started off so rough. >.
Why is it skipped here which a-head adapter is used? what's going on there?
The frame on my Puch snapped when I did a bunny hop on it.
The top bearing on the fork is bottom side up, istn't it?

Очень интересно! Задний тормоз- правая рукоятка, передний тормоз- левая рукоятка. Рубашка тросиков проложена неправильно

Brits have their brakes on opposite of most op us..
hello varnished steel does not rust?
It sounds like your chainline is off and/or your chain is too tight.

Así no se sacan las palancas de una bici cortando con moladora , eso se usa lubricante o un soplete para calentar el material y sale .
Материал стоит дороже велосипеда. И вопрос:"А пескоструйной обработки нет у вас?":))
Does izumi chains always make that kind of noise?

yes
Where’s the 56cm frame???
Why so noisy? Was it the carbon wheels?
That fork is not adequate for the that neck, u skipped that part on the video.
Why is it so noisy...single speed should be smooth and quiet....

Izumi chains fixed gear chain are known being a little loud. You either like it or you don’t
What are you waiting for?
when wd-40 didn't worked now you know that it's not a fake-restoration :D
Why is it making such a weird noise?

Most likely: new chain on old cog. Or maybe: too much tension on the chain (so adjust the hub position on the frame) Other possibility: 1/8" chain on 3/32" cog and/or chain wheel
That noice because not greased chain?

Bad chain line. Went from 5 speed rear to single and didn't use spacers to true the chain line.

@@robertcaldwell2994 this was the big unanswered question was chainline. I know those izumi chains are very noisy if the chainline is off. would seem to be a shame to make all that effort and not get that part right, maybe it was done somewhere just not shown in the video
Personally I would have kept the mudguards, but that's just me ...👍...
PUCH means Stink in Czech. hah
