Thanks. The Shimano frame and full bikes were more common in Asia region in the 1980s but stopped by the end of 1989. I had fond memories of admiring a full Shimano bike during my childhood. And only now able to finally own one haha
@@AndyEFonTH-cam are they really shimano frames? I read somewhere that shimano never made frames. Usually they would put shimano decals and badges onto already made frames so that they could display their groupsets with a bike. But they never really built frames except for dropouts.
@@valfssantiago Yes they are. If you live in South East Asia especially Malaysia, Indonesia or Singapore, you would come across a few from the 1890s era. I know what you mean that Shimano commissioned Shimano badged bikes for display purposes to exhibit their components, and Shimano still doing it today. But back in the 80s Shimano did sold full kitted bike with their own branding, however I have also read that these were actually commissioned by Shimano to be built by Panasonic Japan (which was already an established frame builders that time).

Thanks. Totally understand your predicament, rare old stuffs like this can be hard to identify, but with time and patience, things get clarified. All the best on your project 😉
Great job.... I grew up in the 1980's & never knew that Shrimano made frames. I was into bicycles very heavily back then. I will be looking for one now. 😛
Thanks. It also depends on where you are. I know that the Shimano bikes are more common within Asia region, especially Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

great bike. would be nice to fit 32s. did something similar, not as fancy tho, to my 88 marinoni. i wonder if with a bit a of grinding and bending it would be possible to get to 30mm tires with a bit a clearance for mud.
great jobs! I love your creations. I've just bought an old TREK 700 (90's hybrid bike) and I'm going to make something like that. I really do love the handlebar type on that vintage frames. I`m gonna have questions for you when I started the project... Nice and great job, Andy!
@@AndyEFonTH-cam can you tell me what the name of the handlebars are. I have a trek 420 1991 I'd like to put similar ones on it. Thanks. I dig your end tube shifters nice touch.
The bicycle look incredible. One question though, when you increase the distance between the rear dropouts, is the heat treatment afterwards a necessity?
Thanks. The heat treatment was purely to allow the tubes to bend more gracefully. Most people will expand it just like that. But I want it to bend easier and also if you "quench" a heated steel with oil particle, they tend to refresh the tensile strength and not subjected to fatigue due to stressing
Oh, and what brand is the stem quill adapter and where did you get it? edit: ok, you wrote it in the video and i found it on aliexpress. Are you happy with the quality?
The rear dropout was 120mm as would many vintage bikes configured with. I needed it to be 135mm. But to get 135mm (current standards), the width need to be expanded to 155mm because high tensile steel will always slack after the expander bolt are removed. The quill adapter worked great and solid, the construction is quite good and sturdy
@@AndyEFonTH-cam Thanks for your reply! In the meantime I watched your carbon build, I'm very impressed! Was there something wrong with it our why did you make this build?
Check the video again, there's a pic I shown of a MUQZI quill adapter for usage on threaded headset.Then you can use any modern stem as you please. Better details on this in my latest video, The Touring MTB to Touring Gravel bike, check it out, you will clearly see what it is
Thanks. I believe that is one of a kind Gravel bike cockpit, I haven't seen anyone doing it yet (or crazy enough to do it). All the best for your Avenue 3000 project.
I’m enjoying the bike so far th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
This bike was build for me, at which I consider myself a lightweight person at just 59kg and height of 5'4. So the sizing fits the rider. But yes of course bigger riders will need proper sizing
Gravel bikes are the most versatile category. Mine is more of a road bike that's capable of doing light gravel, which is a common thing people did in the early days, they just grind their road bikes on gravel roads. Steel especially are quite suitable for gravel due to great dampening compliance similar to Titanium. Recent years of course we are seeing more gravel specific bikes which are designed for more technical usage even for difficult single tracks
I don't quite get the purpose of this bike. For road front chainring is kinda small, for gravel you could do better than no clutch dura-ace. Don't even get me started on that handlebars and shifters, it looks cool but also rly odd :)
The chainring setup optimized for climbing and gravel use. The reality is, I find 50/34 crankset used previously wasn't working optimally for my riding habits, of which my area involved 50% climbing all the time. The gravel element of this bike is when I go on weekends for 20-30km of actual gravel tracks which are not very technical, so yes the bike was built with purpose on how she's intended to be used, not just random ideas
@@psclassy1123 Are the Alps good enough for you ? Trust me I know a thing or two about riding in hilly terrain, on my commute to work I have to climb about 700m 5 days a week :)
I beg to differ, there's a lot of Shimano branded full bikes sold in South East Asia in the 1980s. They don't seem to be sold outside Asia. Just head over to Singapore and you will find quite a few of them around still in stock color and trim. Yes, Shimano and Suntour did released dropouts for frame builders, but just because you have not seen one full bike in person does not mean they don't exist. My frame were bought from a hardcore Shimano bikes collector who owns several full Shimano bikes of at least 3 variants
Nice build. I am restoring a Trek Elance 400 with 531 tubes and Tange fork but I will ditch the Tange fork for a full carbon fork. Tiagra 4703 3x 53/39/30 with 11-32 keeping it period correct and yet modern components. However I cold set the rear dropouts from 126 to 130mm. I'll let my car body shop to sandblast, putty and paint the frame and fork. Silver lugs with red metallic tubes.
Preguntaste cuánto valen las ruedas ?? Y el cassette cerámico?.....en cualquier caso genial!!.. sueño con hacerme algo que le llegue a la suela de los zapatos ❤❤❤
Quickly fall in love with your channel after the raleigh build. Hoping more video from you, mybe Lerun build will be good 😅, just suggesting. Great video sir.
I hope that you are using automotive grade spray paint. It is better than most original bike paints, including Colnago. Also, you can get very fine sand blasting that doesn't pit the metal and saves a little of time, especially around cable stays.
Yes they are Automotive grade paint from Samurai. The clear coat 1k grade. I would love to have something like sandblasting tool but my projects are all about doing it with whatever limited tools I have at my apartment balcony
The handlebar is ZNIINO Gravel Bar, the brake levers are Litepro, the calipers Litepro Carbon, The shifters Shimano Dura Ace Bar end shifters 2x11. All brought individually and made to work together 😉
I scavenged it from my previous bike, Mongoose IBOX Pro SX. Basically butchered the frame and took it out. Then file/grind it to suit the Shimano frame
Amigo, isso é mais que um trabalho de mecânico, isso é uma obra de arte. Nem a minha Scott tem um pedal XTR desses 😂😂😂😂😂 Parabéns pela excelência no trabalho.
True, Shimano SF dropouts are to be seen on Miyata, Panasonic, Bridgestone and a few more, but this one is assuredly a Shimano bike, in South East Asia lots of Shimano branded bikes being sold in the 1980s, and mine came from a Malaysian Shimano bikes collector, of which he has 3 (this one sold to me of course). But yes, the commissioning of Shimano bikes are primarily done by Panasonic (especially the lugged models)
