Yeah, I had exactly the same idea a couple of years ago, and made very similar mistakes lol, even down to drilling out the cable holders and then finding them things on amazon, gutted, and the paint, don't even get me started! I'm not sure if I spent more money on tools and equipment or incorrect parts! And the amount of time, omg! The whole experience was a rollercoaster of emotions, excitement, frustration, anger, joy, heartache.....In the end though a great sense of achievement. Thanks for the video, I appreciate the effort it took just to do the bike, let alone film it and upload it as well.👍
I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😄 I bought about 4 different brake adapters after I cut off the rim brake mounts... Then I discovered that my only option was to weld... D'OH!!! It's funny, because my idea was to do one of those tranquil bike build videos that are almost relaxing.... but it was an absolute mess from start to finish (hence the 3 year gap from start to finish)... although I gotta admit, I'm happy with the final product.... except for maybe the paint and weld jobs.
@@DuanegerZone Mate yeah, when you broke out that mig welder I just thought, holy shit this guy means business, nothing's gonna stop him from finishing what he started, what a legend! Hope that weld don't fail though, a lot of force goes through disc brakes could be painful🤕
@@TheElbrasso yeah... I'm going to need to put an upright brace in the rear triangle under the brake tab as well... I was just super relieved that I didn't burn down my garage or melt my fingers or something.... those 5 minutes of watching how to weld on TH-cam really paid off, huh?😆
