These are the videos I miss. I love your custom paint jobs. They're amazing.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@christardiff1714]

These are my favorite Old Shovel videos. New paint, new parts; creating a whole new bike!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

Thanks you for gif MTB to Venezuela's people in your town. Remember this? God Bless to you.

[@adamtieri143]

That bike turned out beautiful! Great choice going for the plus build too!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@birachdamir5149]

Extremely educational and interesting video. I have been following your work for a long time, as well as the other explanations you provide. What I hate the most in my country is that bicycles are not made in the best possible way, so most people are forced to buy or assemble a bicycle for themselves at their own discretion. I really enjoy your presentation.
Many greetings from Serbia (ex Yugoslavia), Balkans - Europe.

[@vitorcosta8765]

You are an artist when giving an old bike a new life 😊 One thing that took me back was those amazing XT hubs, quite a status back a few years! 👌

[@oldshovel]

Thanks. They made for a clean build.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Wow! What an amazing makeover! Truly blown away by how nice this bike turned out. Great job!

[@oldshovel]

[@ondrejmanych5688]

It looks like a paintjob that Trek themselves would use in their mass production, very well done, as always.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@nascarisawesome5018]

That's a beautiful job well done. I sell Marlins everyday and always wonder what they would look like with custom paintjobs. Thank you for showing us!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@mountainsmoore3657]

That ended up being a beautiful bike! Love the color combo! The school where it teach has the same colors…may have to swipe this idea for a commuter for me to ride to school everyday?? 🤔😂

[@DanielCooper1]

My high school was the same colors! Nice!

[@oldshovel]

Lol our school does too

[@bikesandbeyond618]

Careful...TREK may come asking you to head up their custom paint division... So much better than their factory looks. Was really hoping to see some of that copper color in action. Great job!

[@oldshovel]

I was bummed about the copper. 😁🙌

[@belgianguitarist7503]

As a pro bike mechanic, this makes me so happy 👌😍

[@johnnydoe66]

As amazing as this turned out, I can't imagine how it would have looked with the copper color. Nice build for your wife, I wish my wife liked to ride, but I am working on it.

[@oldshovel]

I was bummed on the copper

[@chrisabuedo9571]

Very satisfying 😁. Your really good at repainting 🔥🔥

[@peterreilly1803]

Good video Rob , I like them , nice bikes ,

[@oldschooldude3500]

Awesome paint job 👍. I would of loved to see what you had planned for the copper. Maybe another day and project. I know some of the metallic and others similar paints have a shorter life on the shelf than standard paints.

[@miguelnieves1356]

Man the whole project was awesome

[@edgarkohlmaier3960]

Beautiful work. 👌

[@E.T_rode_bikes_As_well]

Thanks. Absolutely great video

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

That's a Sweet Restore/Build, 🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾👍🏾

[@KotakMeister]

Great paint job! I'd have gone for just a normal clearcoat as the the first layer and used the 2k after the wet sand but that's just because I'm cheap and impatient.
Beautiful work 👍👍👍

[@Plast_and_Cars]

Nice looking bike!

[@bebopman5]

The dope respray and rebuild. From the look of it at the beginning, I suspected it might be larger than a small 😅. But it all worked out at the end, and now you have a budget Roscoe (pre-2022 model).

[@oldshovel]

Lol thanks

Un bon travail de précision.
Merci pour la video 🌴🌴🌸🌸

[@jamesklarevas5091]

Re: the copper paint, metallic spray paints are always way more prone to clogging up caps/nozzles. Usually fine just with a swap to a fresh cap, sometimes helps to use a "fatter" cap if you can find something compatible at your local hipster graffiti supplier.

[@oldshovel]

That was my first thought also so I swapped a clean cap but it appeared to be the aerosol was spent…

[@bobgabel6497]

your modus operandi to painting bikes is now reached a level of superiority. I'm jealous of your wife.

[@11Bison11]

So nice 👏👏👏

[@oldshovel]

Thank you my friend

[@mrguppy1016]

Great job

[@danielstormy3660]

Very nice bike, these 2,8 tyres looks massive on HT :-)

[@Gabbro.88]

Un capolavoro 😮

[@kipcc3918]

I’m glad you changed your mind on the radial fronts caused that would’ve ripped that hub outta there in immense braking. 🤣
Radial on non disc side and 3 cross on brake side would’ve still kept a good look. More XC style wheel Hehehe.

[@oldshovel]

Yah I wasn’t sure how it would be

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Consider the wheel wind up characteristics under heavy braking torque . We use 3x pattern for this scenario .

[@foti5651]

wow .. great bullet ❤

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@NonLegitNation2]

I have a Schwinn hybrid bike that has 28 inch rims. I plan to totally overhaul it and use all of my spare parts to make it my winter bike. I'm going to get rid of the 28 inch commuter/hybrid skinny rims and replace them with 27.5 rims. Initially I wasn't so sure about this but then just like you did I realized with the smaller rims I can add bigger tires which is a definite plus because I need the biggest tires I can fit on there for when I'm riding in snow. It's funny, all the spare parts I have are from my current bike after I upgraded to better components. After all the upgrades I have all the parts to be able to completely tear down the Schwinn to just it's frame and use all my spare parts to rebuild it up. Once it's built, it's not going to be the most attractive bike but I don't need it to be considering it's going to just get covered in slush, snow and salt in the winter.

[@armandocardenas6094]

A labor of love.

[@oldshovel]

❤️

[@MrAntistress]

thing of beauty

[@Emof18]

Great build video's.. What are you using to make the decals for painting.

[@wolframgarten4365]

Wow. Genius!

[@bigbrowntrout1]

This was amazing to watch. Considering updating the looks of my Scott. How did you do the decals like this? Do you order that peel off system somewhere?

[@LegoBiker]

This came out awesome! I am planning on repainting my trek supercaliper, and I was wondering where I could buy stencils or decals for the logos. Any help would be appreciated.

[@LeiffNathanAMendoza]

pretty good as new indeed

[@tikas408]

Oh man, this is what I want to do on my 95 rockhopper. Paint it up, update the wheels, convert to 1x, and give it a new alt handlebar. It's on my bucket list to complete this one day.

[@ronniek.7331]

Love the paint job, looks amazing. I have a 2022 Trek Marlin 6 & would love to upgrade to a better fork & run tubeless. Could you list the fork & wheel set part numbers or maybe links to them? Thanks, keep up the great videos.

[@bmxscape]

that looks awesome.. i have enough parts lying around for a nice 27.5 build i just need a frame that fits the tapered forks i have. where can i find a nice bare frame?

[@MrSimonevale]

Very goog job !!!

[@daryllMiyagi]

Nice Work U basicaly made a new Bike ❤❤❤
