Coopoli is a father and son team that restore old bicycles nobody wants. This enables me to teach my son the art of bicycle mechanics on a very tight budget.
We also repair and service friends bikes for free, they just pay for parts.
No matter what my son wants to do in the future he will always have a skill to use through life.

VINTAGE BIKE MALVERN STAR RESTORATION by COOPOLI
มุมมอง 2.7K9 ปีที่แล้ว
The year was 1977 and I received my first Malvern Star, those days have passed and so has the bike, but when I saw this bike in the rubbish how could I just drive passed.
Dinky Restoration
มุมมอง 27K10 ปีที่แล้ว
I restore battered and broken vintage Dinky Toys from the 1930's to the 1960's. In a time when children used their imagination to play!
NICE 👍
I watched this with the volume off...the music is distracting from enjoying the video.. It didn't show how the h adbadge was removed. Didn't show how stickers were put on But nice turn out.
man can i ask whats the model of your frame?
Man beautifully done! You brought a new life to this bike! I hope I can do this with my raleigh too!
forca pelizzoli
Nice clasik
The seat stem and handlebar stem are very similar to the Harry Quinn racer I owned in the 80s that was used professionally prior. Unfortunately, I had to dump it as I was between places in the 90s. Miss that bike 😢.
Wow good job, that came out amazing. Did the rust just sand off or did you have to do something else to treat it? Also how did you restore the head badge or did you just replace it with a new one?
Yes, ridiculous music. How is this a Ciocc? I see Tange steel and from what I have seen, Ciocc uses Columbus steel. Just wondering. Bike looks good though.
Lovely jubbly!
Why you change the colour ?
These are very nice! Job well done. Although most of these are customized, not restorations. Restorations are painted the original color with any original style decals (if applicable.)
Great work,next old bike you get keep original and just ride
Great to resurrect these amazing toys. It’s a shame they don’t make them any longer. I notice the colour of the restoration is sometimes completely different. Artistic freedom?
Thanks, yes i do change the colours from time to time
great job! could you give me the model of the stickers please? I need for my bicycle. Thank you!
That seems like the best day to go riding...great video
How do you get the writing/ text on the sides of the vehicles so clean and neat??
Do you remove the axles? If you do remove them, can you share your methods?
this bike turned out awesome! how did you re attach the head to badge?
dave hale I carefully drilled the riveting and tapped the holes and fitted 1/8 stainless scews
Nice work, where do you get the decals and tyres from, ? I've just been given a big box of dinky toys and I'd like to refurbe them. Regards Shane
Why the crappy music?
Hated working for Raleigh because the tight gits wouldn't pay for your travelling expenses.
Good job , that came out looking good. cheers
That came out good.
Still realy Nice!
Whas it origional an Merckx to ?
Vintage no I can't afford a real one
Coopoli is a father and son team that repairs and restores old bicycles to teach my son the art of cycling mechanics. We find old bikes nobody wants and turn them into something special, well they are to us anyway!
Mournful song is out of place. Needs something more upbeat to chime with the restoration theme.
well done andy,great job,
To be honest I find myself quite torn between preserving a play worn patina and a well done restoration. Both have their pros and cons. Anything is only original once and took decades to get the patina whereas a mint looking one is just that,mint,but with all the personality removed. I resolved this by having at least two of everything! One worn,one mint. Everyone spends more time looking at and talking about the worn ones. Maybe they are more welcoming and achievable? Ok to touch without fear of doing damage? Me,I love them to bits!
Great Job

Great Job Grant. Hope this bike project created a lot of joy for you and your son, Cheers Glenn
Man, that is fantastic! Beautiful results! The song made me laugh as well, nice choice. :)
Came Out Great Nice.
That result is AMASING
VideoLife Amazing
That really isn't a restoration.
Yeah it is
Surely, its a resto-mod which explains itself. Fabulous job. Thinking of the same resto-mod on my Lenton Sports.
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for the restoration and for sharing. I enjoyed watching. I too had a Malvern Star as my first bike in the 1970s. I've heard it said that 'vintage' restorations are about passing things on to future generations. Well done. Although that makes me feel quite old. And a question: Why no mudguards? Mine had them as does yours in the final photo. EDIT: At the very start of the video, there are short mudguards shown. Back in the 70s I had fashioned ones similar from my old full-size ones.
Bike looks great can I ask what paint you used and the process?
I am also interested in the painting process
+Alex Garner I use a epoxy paint with a spray gun.it is a long process but first I use a etch primer, one coat then sand 1200 grit wet and dry sand paper.put one more fine coat of primer and let dry for one day or so.then I mix the paint with thinners and apply a dust coat .this is a very fine coat that should look like dust over the area and once that has started to dry I apply more coats very lightly every hour and about three coats.this will give a very high gloss but will take about 3-4 days to dry.Hope that helps
Those are beautiful restorations!
Great bike. I just picked up vintage Raleigh. Could you tell me where you got the decals made?
+Toxteth O'Grady Hi Mate, they have a good selection on ebay.
Nice clean machine, well done looks great. All the best Andy
+BikeIt UK thanks Andy, your videos are awesome and you were a great inspiration, keep up the good work mate!
Cheers fella its good to see others getting involved! Nice one keep in touch! Cheers Andy
