Tired Trek Full Suspension gets absolutely overhauled!

In this market, it's really hard to make a profit on used bikes. But we can try our hardest to put good ones back on the trail! When a family friend told me they were looking for a mountain bike for their daughter, I found them a tired old Trek for $750, and gave it a major overhaul. But did I overpay?

    What do you watch Flip Bike for? Is it the fixing up of bikes, the proof of value, the education, or something else? In this market where even bike companies are struggling to make a profit, we can still put bikes on the trail and have fun with it. If the "flip" is just a bonus feature for you, I'll get to work on finding some more clunkers!

    I stumbled across this series and channel while trying to modernize and fix my neglected 2008 Trek 6000. Thanks to advice and insights from this series it’s now converted to a 1x9, hydraulic disks, new bars, stem, grips, seat, bearings repacked and running great. All for around $250 as well! The added bonus is the quality content on this channel I now know about!

    It's so nice that you did this for the daughter of your family friend, Everyone trying to get into mountain biking should have someone who know their way around a bike and can help make sure a bike is in good shape for riding. Props

    Seth I have learned so much from your videos. I love the flip bike series and hope to see more bikes overhauled by you regardless of price because with you it is the personal touch and explanation of what is going on with the choices you make for the bikes. I like the built not bought attitude that you have with flip bike.

    I love the flipbike series. They are fun to watch and I especially like watching how you overcome issues you find on older bikes, like that frozen pivot bolt. Please keep them coming.

    It’s amazing to see this series back, thanks to this I learned so much on bike mechanics and restoration work. Thank you Seth for bringing it back! Greetings from the Netherlands!

    Incredible! I only recently restored the same bike, only in Medium - and I was inspired by the Flip Bike series!

    I had a fuel EX8 of the same age as this. The geometry was all kinds of wrong, but the suspension and components were bulletproof

    I love this series. not only are you doing something SUPER rad by putting your time and money to get good bikes in the hands of people who want them, but im also learning WAY more watching these than i ever do on "how-to" videos. im actually considering doing some of my own maintenance and restoration on my bikes.

    I love watching overhaul and restoration videos of almost any kind and with bikes it's no different! Great work getting these back on the trail.

    I could not care less if the flip makes a profit. I enjoy watching the process of you evaluating the bike and picking where to maintain/upgrade.

    Keep them coming Seth. This is a good series. Helps people to look into this option and semi upgrade parts for a better bike. Also helps you look out for things that are wrong with a 2nd hand bike
