In this video: A bike bought just for the fork turns in to a shiny & colourful retro classic. - บันเทิง
I love the bright color palette with the polished frame. I would definitely be proud to ride this around town. Great job!
Thank you!
That’s an awesome looking bike!!! Well done
when the rain came I couldn't help but laugh just a little, the reaction was so real.
I got a bit damp...
Love it! First thing I did to all my cannondale bikes in the 90's...
Where is my paint stripper and steel wool!
That’s dedication to the polishing cause!
Again a nice build. I love the colour of this Charge saddle. Really suits the bike.
Thanks! Love the saddle too. That design is pretty unique. I think each saddle is ever so slightly different.
Amazing restoration, RESPECT.
Thanks!
wow wow wow beautiful
Thank you so much!
Schön gemacht. Ich besitze auch ein gary fisher taikai von 1998.
Habe es gebraucht erstanden und schaltungs technisch neu aufgebaut. Als Kurbel habe ich die shimano deore 1:12fach genommen. Hinten werde ich eine deore 11fach Schaltwerk mit dazu passendem Schalthebel verwenden. Auch eine shimano 11fach Kassette wird ihren Platz auf der deore 9fach Nabe finden.
Als Kette kommt eine von shimano zum Einsatz. Gary fisher
Dchte damals schon weit voraus.
Das sieht man z.b. Am hinterbau, wo auch breitere Reifen passen.
Eine federgabel besitzt mein taikai nicht, sondern eine starrgabel. Die cantilever bremsen sind von der alivio und sind noch gut erhalten. Putzen, fetten und wieder einbauen, das war es schon. Ein paar neue bremsgriffe werde ich dem bike noch gönnen, ebenso ein paar neue Griffe, da die alten nix mehr waren. Hab gesehen, das dein Rahmen ein 7005er alu ist. Meiner ist schon aus 6061er alu, also leichter. Auch hat meines schon auswechselbare schaltauge, während deines noch ein festes hat. Von der Geometrie her sind sie ähnlich. Ich wundere mich, warum du keine modernere federgabel verbaut hast, für die alte bekommt man eigentlich keine Ersatzteile mehr, oder?
Beautiful bike
Thanks!
Great job on this one!! The colors really make it pop!, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It had to have lots of colour with the raw alloy!
Awesome job man looks great! So love these old school bikes that get brought back to life, keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
What an awesome bike! great colour scheme. Polished frame looks top notch. The saddle really just ties it all together. Another smasher!
Glad you like it!
I have a 1996 Fisher Mt Tam in polished 6061 T6. Looks just like this bike, and it's an incredible bike
Nice!
Love the bare metal/chrome finish.
Thanks!
I have a soft spot for Fisher bikes I'm working on my 4th one right now and cant wait to get it back on the road............Love the color on the polish frame might have to try that
Lots of work but I'd say it's worth it after finishing this!
Great channel! I have been watching to learn before I attempt my own refresh of my Rockhopper.
Sweet! Thanks. Good luck with your build.
I love the colors she’s a beaut Clark . Definitely a keeper 😎
Clark haha. Yeah a keeper for sure!
Always a joy to join
Thank you!
That is Sick!
Heck yeah it is.
Love that first Gen RockShox! They were heavy and sticky but for '88-90 they started it all. I would love to see a rebuild segment when you get your seals,, etc.. Solid sanding/polishing technique to keep graining short and not long, the finished product with stickers is impressive. I think you break a Guinness Record every time you put on tires🤣! Yeah, go with thumb shifters and keep that Biopace alive! 👍😎💯
I hopefully have a seal kit on the way so that's definitely something I'm going to tackle when it arrives!
Smashed it out of the park as always fella!
Thanks bud!
I'm jealous of that fork. Great bike.
It'll be great to get the "spare" working too!
Ahh, a fellow a-Fisher-nado! Tasty bike! I’ve managed to score 2 Joshua A1’s, I think one will be mostly original, and then do a sensible upgraded version on the other, maybe go disc brake, and do a killer 2 tone fluro 90’s paint job!
Two tone fluro definitely has my vote.
Cool as penguins toes.
I like watching your videos.
I’ve just bought a Kirk Revolution to convert into a 1 x ? Gravel bike, but with retro parts.
Ooft, a Kirk. Give it a test ride before investing. My last one was unrideable with the wobbles.
This is awesome! Keep the great builds, looking forward for more videos
Thanks! Definitely plenty more to come.
Amazing!
I have this bike in green. The fork is not original (b/c I got hit by a car in like '91, the original bike didn't come with suspension.) and the front chainring was ground out so replaced that and put bigger pedals on it, but everything else is original. I LOVE this bike. It is built like a tank and it's simple/straight forward. I do want to put a new stem and handlebars on it so I can ride it around town.
Might be hard to find an adapter for the 1 1/4" steerer to use a modern stem. Hard but not impossible!
Looks great. Well done.
Thank you!
Love the colours!
Thanks! Plenty of them!
What a beauty!
Thanks!
Lovely build as usual! Be very interesting to see that bike around Cannock. Those RS1's are so flexy and such a stiff early alu frame. The front end will feel like mush! Good luck!
We'll see! The shocks don't seem to work too well at the moment. I think I have to pump them up a little.
Beautiful bike!
Thank you!
crazy cool
rainbowtastic!!
Suits the weather we've been having. Sunshine and showers.
Amazing mate.
Cheers brah!
the trek 7000 looks nice, i think it deserves a quick overlook video.
Good spot! It will be getting a video or two soon.
Qué linda quedó👍👍,da envidia😄
Mucho gracias!
Nice, love it!
Thanks!
WOOHOOO!

The Bar gets higher and higher...
Hopefully I can maintain it!
Wow you were not kidding when you warned me about the polish coming up. Beauty of a bike it was right to refurbish it. Love the trick with the rim and tire very smooth, but does it ever stop raining where you are???? LOL. Again most enjoyable video thanks and enjoy this bike it’s a beauty. Cheers
It's been a very wet May! Fingers crossed the dry weather on the horizon is real.
Perfect! ☺️😍
Thank you!! 😊
Tidy job
Cheers Sam
Chrome looks the best especially after a fresh Polish but I must say this is a keeper
I think so too.
I had a light green 89 AL-1 what a fun bike pre rock shox. Can't remember what I did with that probably sold to move into a Klein Mantra.
Awesome. How was the Mantra?
Pure Vapour Wave
Ok our cats are long-lost cousins!
🔥🔥🔥🚴♂️
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
looks absolutely wonderful! But did you consider using some 2k clear to keep that shine protected?
I did. Wasn't sure how well it would adhere to the polish surface though so decided against it.
damn bastard very nice retro bike
Bastard ahaha. Not the first time I've been called that.
@@MonkeyShred how to adjust jd suspension stem?
@@robbyfernandez5260 no idea. I’ve never had one.
@@MonkeyShred could you please inform me if you have this ones
You've given me inspiration to sand and polish my Dad's 1996 Claud Butler Competition bare alu frame. If you have any tips to remove alu corrosion, that would be appreciated.
Patience. Lots of patience.
It’s not actually too bad to do. Heavy spots of corrosion will be a bit more stubborn to remove but working through the sanding grades will remove it. Start with 400 grit so it’s not too aggressive and see how that goes. Work up to 1500/2000 grit and then polish. All wet sanded. No dry sanding. Try and keep the sand paper ‘clean’ and it sometimes helps to add a drop of washing up liquid to the water bowl your using to soak the paper in.
Nice work as always! What watch do you wear?
Ooo I wear watches from W T Author. :)
Hi, great restoration. I’m currently restoring my 1991 gary fisher, may I know how or did you make the decals? Trying to look for a layout to stencil.
Thanks. For bike specs / new parts always check the description 😉 I’ve links to new products or details of the seller for others.
nice one, something has to be said about bare polished alumium frames...
They're a lot of work to keep shiny? ;)
found a similar GF with Suntour XC comp with thumbs, struggling with serial number
XC Comp? What a score! That gear is pricey to find!
Can you please tell me if the rear drop out has an 8 stamped on it above the derailleur
hey! i have an AL-1 Gary Fisher and i have to change bottom bracket, do u know where i cand find one? ty
Great bike. Why dont you build a or buy some type of shelter for your work zone?.
Yoooo
Eyoooooooo
Lovely build, but after all that effort to polish the frame it was a disservice putting those rusty stem & brake bolts back on it!
Yup! It winds people up no end!
What site do you use to sell bikes?
I have been using eBay but I'm turning more to Facebook and other socials
I find it hard to believe that if the previous owner has had it from new cannot remember the make before the paint was removed?
I'm just going off what I was told.
7:12 is there a crack in the headtube?
I don’t see?
@@MonkeyShred It must be a trick of the light, there's no way you wouldn't have seen it. It's on the 'back' side of the headtube, more or less in line with the housing stops I'd say.
I would think with all the work to clean the frame that the smaller parts would have also be cleaned up better. Just me I guess.
Each to their own!
Where does everyone get these sticker repops
Retrodecals
Can I have it?
Nope
@@MonkeyShred 😁👌
