- This vintage 1995 Kona Kilauea was like gold when I found it. It was fun rebuilding it up for my daughter. If you watch the build, guess what part was a bit late showing up...

I dont know if you are allready doing it, but please teach your kids how to build bikes like you. Its such a wonderful "skill" to pass. So chill and so fun to watch. Thanks mate!
I came from a poor family from the Philippines. Just borrowing bikes to ride. And seeing you rebuild this amazing bike always makes me Happy and satisfied. Thank you so much sir. I pray that god will give you and your family good health so that you can continously do what you are doing😭❣️, it inspires me a lot. Maybe it isnt my time yet. But someday I'll have my own😓
G'day Ryan
I love watching these videos too. Wish I had the skills to do what this man is doing. You've got good taste in hobbies. Hopefully one day God blesses you with some kids and a well paying job so you can do the same for your kids as what this is doing for his daughter. My sons would be pretty jealous watching this build. Luckily for me they're reading in their room.
God bless.
May God make a way for you where you see no way to get blessed with a bike.
JesUSAves 🙏♥️
@@livefree316 thank you so much. Godbless you too!
Ryan, your post made my day.
Your daughter‘s smile was the best reward, better than hundreds of likes.
Agreed
But for real give him hundreds of likes.

Well yours is quickly becoming my favorite all around TH-cam channel. Without going too philosophical, it’s more than just bike restoration, it’s about life, even if it’s unintentional. I love it. Kudos 👍🏻
Daughters ARE awesome! I love my 5 year old daughter, Isabelle to the Moon and Back and I hope I can bless her life with an amazing bike someday like you did for your daughter. Much Love
Awesome build for your daughter it came out great
Thanks
@@oldshovel what does she think of it?
Se loves the way it looks 😁
aw man I wish I had a dad like you. lol im a father now and am aspiring to put smiles on my kids face. Her bike a billion times better than I have. I have a few frankenstien bikes I built from scraps and just bought my oldest a really nice fixer upper and plan on showing him how to fix the parts broken.
Being a dad is so awesome
I’m a simple guy, I see Old Shovel vid, I like vid
Awesome
I started Pre-like’ing the videoS. They are that good.
These are my favorite videos. Improving older bikes with better and more modern components. Great color scheme you put together.
Thanks
I was amazed that the 8 speed XT rear derailleur handled the 10 speed gearing.
Same, but it does look like you had to add a derailleur hanger extender to get the clearance. When swapping to 1x the rear derailleur generally can compensate for the larger cassette because in total the difference between smallest and largest number of teeth is still fewer than even an old rear cassette with the triple front. Am I correct in that you did replace the freehub body?
Interested in how this was done as well?
I was looking for this comment because I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

Here is a video that explains everything you need to know about cable pull ratios. Basically, you only need to change shifters, since almost all shimano derailleurs have the same cable pull ratio. The difference between the various is weight and quality in materials.
Yup, my 9speed derailer having troubles reaching my 9speed cassette.LoL .Your rite ,surprising : ')
The more of your videos I watch the more wholesomeness I get in my life. Thank you
I’m also a Father to a couple of great kids, and your kid build videos remind me of how lucky I am. Love the bike, love her happy smile! Thanks!
to be honest every day i watch at least 10 videos of bikes restoration and dream build, but the only person i really enjoy while watching his rebuilds is you, you literally giving bikes new life thank you for this great and beautiful things you show.
Thank you for the kind words.
@@oldshovel you the one who should be thanked for the great content 🌹
Such a cool bike, your daughter is very lucky to have it
While most bike shops in Malaysia seems to deny the existence of 26er, you still can get its tires easily 🤗🤗🤗
One happy daughter - awesome stuff, again!
Liked the dropout alignment too! 🛠👍🏻
i built up a similar bike for my niece, i spent way to much money with parts, tricked it out w/ pink and purple cables and grips and when she told me she loved it and she now rides to the local market on it, totally worth every penny. love your channel, great build, when i saw pannaracer i thought of the old "smoke and dart tires i ran as teen in the 90's
AH, such a superb KONA. I love the mid-late90s steel Konas, it bring me back to the good old days.
Again...what a wonderful build and lovely child. You are, by now, the only bike building channel that I follow. Still learning and relaxing every time 🙌
Awesome! Love the gold and yellow nuggets everywhere...and that gold smile at the end.
Whoa! When you know what you are doing to break it apart. Your daughter must be proud.
All of us, who are watching your videos, we can feel your passion and love not only for the restorations you do but also for your kids, family and LIFE! Have a nice weekend my friend.
Awesome thanks
A great relaxing video to start Sunday.
Good choice of colors. And I also like the old konas.
Awesome thanks
im on mtb and former semi-professional racing biker for a short period in the 90s. still im not even close to the ability of setting up bikes like this.. still im customizing my bikes but im spending way more time .. i watch those videos to relax myself after a long day of work.. amazing job. greetings from Albania
Awesome. The video makes it look quicker than it really takes. To do things right some things cannot be rushed. 😁
Nice looking bike, I hope your daughter has a great time and many adventures on the new bike.
GREAT JOB!
❤good build your sons and daughter. lucky to have a dad like you😊
Very nice. I'm doing a 2004 Kona Dew in the same colour. Took it for a first test ride yesterday. This vid shows me pretty much all the ugrades my bike needs. Headset, shifter, cassette, maybe a derailleur.... and YELLOW GRAVEL KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really nice upgrade for you daughter! Kona cromo frames continues to have one of the coolest look of the 90's bikes. She must be very happy indeed with this updated beauty! Thanks for the video. Big hug!
This is my favorite channel on TH-cam. These vids were made for me. Cheers and look forward to new content.
Ahh yes! Perfect way to start a Sunday... A slice of cinnamon raisin toast, cup of coffee, and a new episode of Old Shovel.👌
Awesome
Thanks for the nickel in the grip tip! Been riding and working on my own bikes since 1993 and that's a new one for me! And thanks for sharing another great video.
Thats a good way to start my sunday :D
Simple, clean and awesome build
what a beautiful bike. Shimano Deore, Mavic wheels......mid 90s beautiful make sense bike. She will love it! Once again congratulations for saving a very beautiful bike and making a child happy! Greetings from Athens Greece.
That color combination is sweet!
That 5 cents trick is gonna save my brand new Yoshida Champs that took me 4 years to find. Thanks a lot and great work as usual!
Awesome
Why is this good?
@@somadenemma Because handlebar ends are usually sharp enough that in case of falling or crashing and falling into them will cause what is commonly known as "core sample". It will cut a cilynder out of you. That and the fact that can also poke a hole through rubber grips easily with use.
I had a purple Tacoma when I was in highschool. Really miss that truck. Love your videos. Looking forward to restoring our bikes.
That came together really nice.
Love this channel. It is refreshing to watch someone being humble and working with his hands to provide for others. Reminds you that there is still good in the world today.
Great build!
One of my favorite builds!!! Love the yellow tires!
I saw the cable clipper that nicely finished the end of the cable - I went out and bought one. Cheers, Park Tools!
This is one of my favorites yet. Beautiful restoration, love the one by set up, yellow is one of my favorite colors, and a great way to wake up on Sunday and enjoy my coffee. Thank you!!
Awesome thanks
The best build I've ever seen, anything I thought you should do you did!
Wow! Now that’s a beauty, I’m a big fan of riding hybrid/fitness bikes. One my favorite vids for sure.
That bicycle turned out so nice. Thanks for sharing.
I’m just about to start something similar on a 1996 Rocky Mountain Fusion. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome. I love Rocky Mountains.
nice combination of old and new technologies. love it!
WOW! Never seen the GravelKing SK in Yellow! That's just perfect. Love those tires on my gravel bike setup tubeless. Perfect tire. Amazing build once again. Love the Kona's from the 90s as well.Kudos!
Great to see a lot of the Park Tool care package contents being put to good use in this video. Awesome rebuild!
Thanks for share your passion with us!!!! Big Hugh from Argentina!!!!!
I've got a '97 Kilauea that I got new and still ride to this day. Been dying to give it some modern components. Your vids are totally inspiring!
I have been enabled by your videos to go after bikes again. I see bicycle maintenance as my form of fishing - a medium to sublimate and have time to talk. So this summer, I did something I haven't done for over a decade, Old shovel style: I found a bicycle that was the exact one I had over 40 years ago - a Huffy Santa Fe 10-speed with Positronic shifting. My daughter and I just spent the past 5 nights to do this: stripping it down, cleaning everything thoroughly budget style (using steel wool and gasoline to dissolve dried grease and clean the cables, and WD-40 on the frame and other parts. Touch up paint with leftover cans of whatever we had and rust reformer to the seat bracket. Lacquer spray covered all paintwork and it was near flawless (from 3 feet away so you don't see the brush strokes). Moly for all bearings, Teflon spray into the cable housings and all pivot points. We reassembled everything. The only thing new was one innertube to restore it to original condition. She took the maiden voyage up and down the culdesac which was the first and last time it would do so, because...
Unfortunately, on my maiden voyage of about 10 feet, I shifted to low and the derailleur went into the spokes, bending the derailleur and drop out. It was late, dark and we were both tired. I was disappointed in what I did, so in my haste to try and remedy the damage, hammering and bending with large adjustible wrenches, my daugher was the one who reached over to me and said, "It was a great bonding experience". My daughter is awesome. She goes off to college in a week.
Ouch but it t sounds like your daughter is awesome. I’ve done exactly what you’ve described. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes. It sounds like your limit screws needed to be adjusted to keep from overextending.
I am feeling nostalgic of my 90s Peugeot bike my father gave me watching these videos, I feel like restoring it. I have to find out how to get components where I live, Its really nice watching these videos after long trails.
this is wholesome af. dad goals
Bless you brother . Reminds me how awesome it is to be a dad that can build things for his kids and put a smile on their faces and why i build up old bikes and restore old things . keep doing what you are doing . thank you for the awesome content . shout out from Cape Town South Africa
Super awesome work 💪 and tyres are so cool
Thanks
Great work as always, congratulations you are smashing it....all the very best
Thanks my friend 🙌
"Look for those opportunities to give new life to those old things..." Yeah, so about that it appears that I have just been gifted an old jonboat from my father-in-law. I told someone that I was going to have to channel my inner OldShovel to ever get it going again! LOL!
😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌
Love those GravelKings. Fantastic color.
I watch your videos because they are down to earth and very relaxing, and most importantly I pick up little tips here and there to keep myself more educated as I am currently restoring a 22 year old Trek Y22. Thanks for your time and doing things right and proper!
I cannot believe you have less than a half million subs. Great content, and always a pleasure to watch!
Everyone should subscribe, to not miss a single post!
Thank you very much, I always enjoy watching you bring new life to things!
Awesome thanks. I’d be happy with more. 😁
This was awesome, but it brings up a bit of sadness for me. I had almost the exact same bike (Kona Cinder Cone -1 model down) with LX/XT mix with rigid Project 2 fork and stem, Richey pedals and Whale Tail brakes. It was mostly my townie bike with slicks, but it was a lot of fun on the trails too. Stolen right outside my front door. Looked like the same year (93 or 94 I think) with the same style decals but in that sweet light blue/teal color. Your daughter had a great smile when she rode it. I enjoyed this, thanks
Thanks for all of the (editing) work! I love the 1X.
Love the old Kona's as well and this build was fantastic. Coming from Canada, I especially liked the Canadian nickel in the grip!
Great job - had the same cranks on my 1996 Kona Fire Mountain. Nothing beats a 90s steel mtb.
And THAT’S why I always seat the bead first without when going tubeless. I then inject sealant through the valve after. I use a cheap Amazon injector with a very thin tube that also lets me check or remove sealant. I have had bad luck with tube that thread on or press fit over the valve. Love your videos!
I'll take that as tip...
Oh! Those new tires! Such a pleasure
This was a beautiful video. Thanks for all your hard work
This bike is gorgeous! I agree with you- Kona bikes are awesome.
Love your videos. This one reminds me of my 90’s steel mtb, with the Sugino crankset!
That’s a killer looking bike! Nice work as usual!
I did love the look of the original stem and fork but the change makes a lot of sense. I am amazed how well the yellow tires match the pedals and grips. Another awesome build
Who'd have thought yellow and tan side wall tires would look that good,obviously you did,great build
That's a really sweet build.
I love your attention to detail
You make your family happy and all of us with your beautiful builds. Regards from Portugal, see you next Sunday, tchau.
Yes! Daughters are awesome, and mine loved the new look of the bike! Congratulations, Rob! You are the man! Tchau!
Nice work, rewarded with your daughters smile, made me smile allso. Thanks for sharing 👍👌😁
Great build, understated and cool.😍
That's an awesome build. Such a sweet bike.
Thank you for another great video, yellow looks so cool.
Amazing work 4 your kids...great job
Awesome. Incredibly feel good and inspiring media. Really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for all your videos and inspiration sir ! Best wishes from Rennes, France
Picked up this same bike in my size (95 Kilauea) for $100 at the beginning of the pandemic.
Slowly trying to modernize the cockpit, but it’s joy to ride up and down Mt. Tam as is!
Thanks for sharing

Very good build ! great colour co ordination - some of those older frames are still awesome today !
They’re classics 😁
Wow that came out awesome
Such a treat to sit and watch your restorations and builds/rebuilds man! Makes me happy seeing good bikes I can't afford, being made. Kudos to you man! Amazing work!
The silver and gold of that bike look great. Also, Konas are da best!
I love your work. The bikes are great but more important you are a great father. Keep it up.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
You’ve done it again. Another excellent build. (I would have been out there in the dark, trying to finish it, with the crickets and frogs singing in the background too). Always a pleasure to watch your videos - a great source of inspiration and peace. All the best. 👍🏼
Great job, surely your daughter would enjoy the ride:)
Very nice. I just got my 98 Lava Dome rebuilt! Love it!
Awesome
I'd take that bike over a chain store bike or an entry level name brand bike any day. What a nice build.
Thanks
It's a really good frame, in the UK that model was £900 in 1995.
Omg! Ive got to say that bike came out way better colors then most newer bikes. Great job amigo!
Watched a good amount of your bike videos!? Ive seen all your dang videos. Actually matter of fact i keep coming back an rewatching videos cause i love em so much.
Awesome
Cool bike, happy daughter 🚴
Great video, good dad for your kids.
True nice build wish I have more park tools ..
Awesome result as always. Love the tyres.❤ from the UK 🇬🇧
Loving the coin in the grips, I thought that was just an 80’s BMX trick 😀
Keep the videos coming, bike looks great ~ I hope your daughter enjoy’s 👍 🚲
