I owned this EXACT bike back in 1993. I called it "ketchup and mustard" because in addition to the bright red and yellow frame... I added even more red and yellow accessories LOL.
I'm a big fan of the Deathgrips myself and seeing them on your bike just proves that they are so good...hope you enjoy them as much as I do and wish you fun riding this cool Ferrari-red machine 👍
@@2NDLIFEBIKES I also like that they are available flangeless and with flange, you can just pick what fits best to the bike without compromising on the style.
Nice! I just picked up a 97’ F700 delta Volvo in the same color. Head Shok is shot but will try and refurbish it with new internal parts I found on eBay. …🤙🏽
bike looks cool!! those other rigid forks look pretty good as well, hopefully you can use em on another build! thx for chucking the shook / shok stickers on :D haha
I have a 1999 f700 as well and looking your video make me think to do the same think instead to buy a newone … Can I ask how much did you spend on that restoration . $ thanks in advance
@@2NDLIFEBIKES i started to convert my own old specialized mtb in a fast gravel and I would like to make it faster in city. I was thinking to change gears.. at the moment ive got stimano 3x6.. what do you reckon that i can change and is not gonna be really expensive but its gonna improve my bike performance ?

Brilliant work here !
Thanks!! 🙌🏼
In the middle of a build really glad I came across your Instagram
Awesome, thank you! 🙌🏼
Looks great! Well done. The extra cleaning on the frame really made it pop.
It really did! Looks super cool in the sun! ☀️

I really like them! Might have to get some more for some different builds.

Shook/shok! No idea what’s wrong with me haha yeah the fork is super nice. I have a couple ideas for them! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼
@@2NDLIFEBIKES just restore the fork and put it back on the bike keep its original
@@TheDougMan3 I would but trying to find the parts is crazy difficult and if you do crazy expensive. But believe if I could have I would have 🙌🏼
Nice work Craig!
Thanks dude!! 🙌🏼
Awesome build, as usual coming from your channel :)
Thanks man. Means a lot!! 🙌🏼

Can you please tell me, where you found those Adapters? I am trying to build up my old f2000. Thanks a lot!
Nice bike!!

hey, nice bike! whats the right axle to crown to replace a fatty?
This is the one I ordered.
FSA Orbit Z 1.5R 1-1/8Inches to... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08MVS6HG2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Wouldn't be forcing the headset in an alloy frame unless you want a cracked headtube, engineer would turn it down a little on a lathe
Bella zio ✌️🚴♂️
🙌🏼
I usually dont like red. That yellow makes it pop. Great restore.
Same, I think it’s why I’m into it. 🙌🏼
They sell shims that let you use a regular head set and just fill in the small gap
I’ve never seen them that big but I’ll keep an eye out for next time! 🙏
Very nice. Where do you buy the air bike bits from?
Thanks! I’ve put a link in the description. 🙌🏼
Where i can learn to do thaatt
But old bikes and watch TH-cam 😂 that’s how I learned!

Lighter fluid and tissue does the trick for the sticky stuff near head tube 👍
That’s a great shout! Thanks for the tip! 🙌🏼
Airbikes stuff is really cheap. Wonder if they ship to the US…
I think it’s just the UK currently but fingers crossed! It’s great stuff!
Too much "jibber jabber"...
🤣
