This is like watching an old friend working on a project and telling a story. You just sit there listening and enjoying every minute of it. I really miss your show.
Now this is what the old show should have been all along. No fake drama and fake time deadlines. Just Rick showing how to restore something. Bravo! Please do more!
Rick thank you for doing this! Please continue to make these type of video , miss the story/repair your absolute knowledge is incredible and we love watching. Cheers!
I’m loving this new format! Really love the details you go into and the background info on the bike … just proves every restoration has a story to tell

Rick is one great guy i was able to find him some bike parts for a few bike projects he has done . A real down to earth man to talk with cant wait to see what he does next
Back in the 1960's my parents bought me a Schwinn bicycle from the Western Auto store in town. It was a single speed and I can't believe that I actually pedaled it uphill without stopping at eleven years old! We lived in a rural area so my friends were four miles away on back country roads. I can't believe too, that I bicycled that far back then!
Great video, I’m looking forward to the next part! Never thought about using hot water to loosen grips. When I did a recent restoration I got the rubber grips off by leaving the bike out in the sun for a few hours and that loosened them enough that I could twist them back and forth and squirt some WD-40 on it to slide them off.
My wife just found a 1961 Schwinn Tornado that was left for dead at the side of the road. Looks a lot like this bike. I’m looking forward to seeing the continuation of this project bc I’m looking to do something similar!

Hey Chief, Schwinn bounced the serial number locations around over the years. Some early versions are on the bottom bracket, after that they moved to the left rear axle dropout and the later ones til they stopped Chicago manufacturing in 92, the number moved to the bottom of the head tube where the Schwinn tin badge was. If you wanna find out what year your Schwinn was made (strictly the cantilevered frames that used the single piece Ashtabula forged cranks) you can find the date of manufacture on the the pedal crank s but you hafta pull the cranks to see it as its in between the crank bearings.
grew up with Schwinn bikes, had Mustang, other ones, six kids in the family, wish we'd kept those bikes, they'd be worth a lot now, they were rugged and lasted a long time
I earned my first bike by selling newspapers, the Seattle P.I., but in Libby Montana about 1970. I was the only one in town selling them and the paper route was real small. I discovered if I went into bars I could sell them to people in there. That is where I learned to play pool. Back in that day no one cared I was only10 years old. One day I was lining up my shot and some big old hand grabbed me from behind around the neck and drug me out to the car, DAD!???? Never stopped me from going back. By the time I was 15 I was playing pool for beers. The P.I. had a program where, depending on how many papers you sold, you could earn free items. They had this beautiful bike you could earn, and you could get one of them wheel generators with it to run your headlight. Mine was totally tricked out with all the goodies. Sparkle glitter in the seat, streamers coming of the white handle grips, copper metal flake color and the headlight with the generator. I was the envy of every kid in the neighborhood and no one else could get a bike like mine because they were not for sale. I don't think it was a Schwinn. I don't know what it was, but it was not a stingray style bike. It was similar style to the one here, whatever you call those. Now I'm 64 and don't drink beer or play pool, ha ha ha ha!!!
Im guessing its just you Rick on the TH-cam channel, i dont see Tyler or Ron in the video. I like to see whats up with them now, is Tyler in college. Just asking 🙂
mr. rick 2008 eyesawat disney a crafted peddle cycle build four five people yep five people were peddling n using the cycle hummm what ya u gotz ha ha ha god loves u n family augest 29 2023 bolderguard tracey
I would not trust this guy .. he did a lousy job on my old record player.. I believe his son did most of the work . Oh yes it did a great job on the outside .. didn't even touch the inside.. I took it to a professional.. you got it working properly.
I've gots few vintage Schwinn Bikes and watch ALL TUBE VIDEOS and everyone on here said to find out what serial # means Go To the Internet..Where in the Hell on the Internet do I search...

The serial tells you year, month and day of manufacture, and that is all. No color or model. All you need is the appropriate parts and correct year frame (middleweight or baloon tire) and you can build what you want. If you want real usable info go to the cabe, classic antique bike exchange, or bike forums and don't do what this guy is. If I walked into his shop and found my crank in a vice like what he did here, I'd fire him. Immediately.
Just from reading the reviews from people who visited Vegas and tried getting a picture or the many other things they were overcharged for just wanting to see what the shop looks like the only way this can be any better is if treats people better
The serial number doesn't tell you whats the original color 😂😂😂 lol thats ridiculous But rhe serial number will tell you what year was made and serial number not always there 😂 1956 to 1968 its there
This is like watching an old friend working on a project and telling a story. You just sit there listening and enjoying every minute of it. I really miss your show.
I don’t miss it. It got to be too silly with the fake drama between the guys and the fake timeline stress. This is so much better I think.
Now this is what the old show should have been all along. No fake drama and fake time deadlines. Just Rick showing how to restore something. Bravo! Please do more!
Leave it to Hollywood to screw things up.
I miss the old show. Rick knows his stuff for sure.
It brings me much joy to see you again doing what you do best and loving it.
Rick thank you for doing this! Please continue to make these type of video , miss the story/repair your absolute knowledge is incredible and we love watching. Cheers!
Good to watch episodes again since don't have cable no more..love your work Rick
I’m loving this new format!
Really love the details you go into and the background info on the bike … just proves every restoration has a story to tell

You make tearing old things down seem so easy and fun, loving the videos.

I can't believe too, that I bicycled that far back then!
Great! Looking forward to more. Thanks.
Awesome! Great to see new stuff. Watch all the shows still.
Glad you’re back man.
Great video, I’m looking forward to the next part!

Enjoyed seeing you at work again
remember fixing flats by patching inner tubes as a kid, no one does that anymore, fifty plus years of memories come back watching this
I just saw a "whatever happened to" featuring American Restoration. I'm very glad to see Rick is still at it! Count me in as a new subscriber!

You need to release part 2 after part 1 and release these videos weekly you will find a fan base
It's Inspired me to know that there is someone out there willing to show others what and how to do things.its a art that needs to be passed down
You started out as a Bicycle Mechanic just like the Wright Brothers!

Please keep posting, I’ll watch em all! Subbed immediately after finding this!
So cool!
Just found your channel! Wow! Loved your TV show and missed it when it went off the air! You got a new subscriber!
Hope to see more of this
Heating the handles up with water is a genius idea. So obvious after realizing it
nice

How did I just find this
Where's the new episodes? You guys could all be a major hit here on TH-cam if you had a proper channel and someone to run it consistently.
Vintage 1961 Ladies Schwinn Flying Star Blue And White Bicycle 26" Rims USA
Nice elevator music 🤣
Rick this is great and I subscribed and liked right away. If there is anything that we can do further to help promote your channel please us know.
rick....for the grips....lighter fluid through the holes and some compressed air thru the hole and off
I found an old Schwinn in a flea market pretty rough shape fixed it up and now I have almost 2,000 Mi on it paid $25
Wheres part 2?
Im guessing its just you Rick on the TH-cam channel, i dont see Tyler or Ron in the video. I like to see whats up with them now, is Tyler in college. Just asking 🙂
too bad Schwinn went under, they made millions of great bikes
I loved your show on histroy channel I hated when they replaced you with the other guy he wasn't as good as you at restoration
Bike restore how much ? 20.000 $ prices are stupid high...
