You know what I like the most? Its watching your channel grow everyday and watching you still the same humble, passionate guy from the first restoring video. Keep the great work mate. keep the two wheels rolling. keep helping youth. Hugs and greetings from Chile. Peace!
that's true sponsoring🙌 , no shitty products advertised because of money, no trashtalk and "scaming customers etc, just a video made possible by an awesome company that doesn't want the money from the commuity , but one that wants the commuity to become mrore than just spending money and riding bikes and that is why i love mountainbikeing 🔥 sponsoring done right ,some other channels should take note
What a rockin' awsome ride! Perfect for a young privateer. I remember giving one of my MTB babies to a friend of mine, a young dad with lots of responsibility and not much money... It was hard to see the bike go, but he and his wife both used the heck out of it, and I have no regrets.
I must say that this resto looks very nice. Really dig the blueing and Club Rides logo. And the fact it is being paid forward is a great idea. " Hat is off to you. "
Iam a young racer who self funds everything and its great to see someone will be getting a nice bike.Stuff gets very pricey quick and at 16 iam not made of money but doing odd jobs around keeps my bike in good shape
That old school vibe you give your videos and bikes.... it's just so smooth and relaxing... thanks so much for producing content for us. And most important for encouraging others to provide bikes for young riders. God bless
Brilliant and truly Inspirational! I want to thank you not just for the quality content, but also for using your platform to advocate for goodness. God knows we all need more of this in our disposable world! Keep up the good fight!
The paint job is straight up masterful and reflective of an innovative thought process. Great parts added to an old beauty! Sure hope the recipient appreciates the craftmanship and care put into this effort. Thanks for sharing your stellar work as always!
Been watching your videos from your very early days. You have been consistently improving everything from bicycles you work on to the quality of your videos and initiatives you participate in. This project of passing this bicycle on to a youth is just an amazing story. I can't wait to see how your channel will look like in a year or two. Looking forward to seeing the next video already! Have a great one, cheers!
Awesome build! This Salsa frame looks incredible, and is a huge gesture of your part to do this for a youth rider that will surely enjoy this beauty. Kudos tu you, and all the companies that support you to do this lovely work, much better. Thanks for share this video with us. Big hug to you!
Sad! I'd be heart broken! but it is for a great cause. That is a beautiful bike and I think I should support the companies that support a community minded bloke.
I had an old BMX that has sat in my garage, untouched for years. Since lockdown in the UK and finding these OldShovel videos I’ve tinkered with it and spent more on it than I probably should. But you get a great sense of achievement from finishing it. Just go for it! Even if you do a little bit each month when finances allow.
It’s those little touches like the sanding of the face of the crank arm to expose the steel and the sticker added. Love the red accents just a fantastic colour scheme would love it myself
Beautiful build man one of the best so far! Love what you are doing and why, makes it all the more special. Keep up the great work. This is one of the very best channels on the tube.
Lots of people can repaint a bike, but you are truly an artist! I often find myself asking, “How did he come up with that scheme?” or “Did he remember to put the nickels in those Oury grips?”
@@0pvo0 let me take a shot at this..; It makes the bike instantly 10 cents more valuable... OR... it keeps the handlebars from cutting through the end of the grip from the inside... from a guy that's had a bunch of handlebars cut through the grips from the inside.
Such a great video and for a nice cause! Bike restoration videos have been my favorite thing to watch lately. It's so satisfying and it helps me learn more about bike mechanics. Just subscribed! 👍🏻
Now that you've done a couple of them, any tips/lessons/techniques you can pass along for bluing? I looked into it for my 97 Kona Hahanna but wasn't sure how much bluing agent to buy or what the best technique would be
Great job! Very good chanel! Thank you for this video. Your job inspired me not to buy a new bike, but to restore my old bike myself. Greetings from Russia)
Awesome! 👏👏👏 I have the Scandium version of this, the Juan Solo. I just turned her into a rigid 69’er with a SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS Drivetrain and a 3T Ergonova Carbon drop bar and stem with a WTB rocket saddle I had lying around.
this channel always makes me happy instead of thinking " i wish i had that bike" it makes me thing "how lucky am i to have a bike " and just makes me happy to be a part of the mtb commuity
Wow! Some lucky kid is gonna be stoked! Great job! Kinda bummed you didn't film dropping the nickels into the grips... something soothing about that noise ☺
Hi, everyone. Regarding on the paint job, is there any tips or tricks to avoid the paint become shabby, dull or even chipped? Especially, when I choose spray paint or do the painting?
It does depend on what I’m doing and the frame material. On Aluminum frames if the original paint does not appear to be chipping I try to keep as much of the old paint as it’s primer is working really well. From my experience Aluminum is hard to get good adhesion to so if it was working I want to keep that under layer.

Spot on my friend. I am totally stoked to work with a company that is willing to donate to the community.
Yeah this Oldshovel is the High Priest of bike restoration!
Lol🙏

Love this! Raw steel is such a good look. Always appreciate the time you take to lay vinyl down and paint. I'd give up so quickly.
It’s one of my favorite parts. On a different note I just ran into a guy wearing a Spindatt shirt.
Stunning rebuild of an old classic.
Great video and you are a true old sentimental fella with a big heart.
Wait a minute. Did you just call my daily driver an old classic??! I AM NOT THAT OLD. 😛

Awesome restoration video old shovel
Salsa needs to produce an OldShovel edition in this paint scheme, looks better than the original
indeed
Lol 😂 thanks
This looks good - but the original was very classic and sharp as hell as well.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

Cool breeze of night and a relaxing video from old shovel❤
Awesome
This is my 2nd favourite build on this channel in my opinion great work keep it up 👍
Awesome thanks
You r awesome and I salute because you deserve. Thank you from Bangladesh.
Thanks
So beautiful!! Great work as usual!!
Thanks
Sad! I'd be heart broken! but it is for a great cause. That is a beautiful bike and I think I should support the companies that support a community minded bloke.
I totally get it. 🙏
This makes me want to find an abandoned frame online and rebuild it. Even though it financially makes no sense, it would so fun!
I do this about once a year, just to _"scratch the itch"!_ FEELS GOOD!
And i do come out around +/-O when selling them - good times!

Thank you for giving back to your local MTB community.
I like the way you keep your painting simple
It's a great looking bike, colors really suit it.
Awesome thanks
When you started painting over the blue, I was like "what are you doing?, But man, it came out looking sharp! You paint jobs are getting really good!
Thanks
😮 Looks like a very fun Mountain Bike build .
Your best build yet. Awesome!
Thanks
It’s those little touches like the sanding of the face of the crank arm to expose the steel and the sticker added.
Love the red accents just a fantastic colour scheme would love it myself
Club Ride and Salsa Bikes! Two of my favorites!
Awesome
More videos like this would be awesome
🙌
Great idea, great bike, and you’re the perfect guy to pull it all together.
Thanks
BTW do you think it would work (aesthetically) to blue a lugged steel frame? Does the brazing come out gold or also blue/black?
The bike looks really great... Awesome..
Thanks
So cool what you are doing for a deserving youth rider. Awesome Salsa!
Thanks
i think this is one of my favorite builds youve done.
Thanks
Giving is really divine! Wish you all the best from India!
..passing something forward is sometimes life changing for an individual's lifestyle....good work, stay safe..
Thanks Bob
That is fabulous. Some young kid will be overwhelmed with joy! Love the Magura brakes. They're the best. 🌟 👍☮️🌞🚲
Thanks
Great paint again. You nailed it.
Thanks
Man the red absolutely killed it for me, looked so good just blued and raw
Another great build OS...and what a great way to do a sponsored video.
Thanks
What a great job you did on that frame!
Thanks
With that Mavic rear hub you'll hear the rider bombing down a hill from miles away! Beautiful build!!!
Which Mavic rear hub?
It’s a nova tech
@@declan4245 Well, I stand corrected. I was going by the Mavic skewer.
@@declan4245 Not a Novatec hub either ;)
That's a very nice bike now. I really like what you are doing to help the community.
Well done man.
This build was incredible! Truly admire your work.
Thanks
Well done lovely restoration I’m so jealous I hope. The kid you give it to loves it
Beautiful build man one of the best so far! Love what you are doing and why, makes it all the more special. Keep up the great work. This is one of the very best channels on the tube.
You’re kind. Thanks 🙏
Keep up the excellent work and good deed's
Thanks
Awesome video Rob, like always. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks
I absolutely love everything about this build!! The caliper color is my favorite feature! Keep it up man!
Nice work! Looks amazing, and how awesome to pass it to a youth just starting out
wow! Thats a good looking hardtail for its age.. Love it!!
That's an amazing bike! Awesome work and best of luck to the next owner.

@@oldshovel What's actually the deal with the nickels in the grips??
@@0pvo0 let me take a shot at this..; It makes the bike instantly 10 cents more valuable... OR... it keeps the handlebars from cutting through the end of the grip from the inside... from a guy that's had a bunch of handlebars cut through the grips from the inside.

Nice work as always...great rebuild
Thanks they are awesome.

Super restoration
Wasn't sure about the bluing but it grows on you, great job sir. Keep up the great work!
Thanks
BLUE STEEL AND PAINT! They're going to love this, this is great.
FIne Work! As always a beautiful restoration and look forward to seeing the young kid that breathes new life into this bike.
Awesome! 👏👏👏

Thanks
You are a magician
Love the blued steel. Outstanding build. Cheers.
Wow! Love this bike! One of my favs so far 🔥
Awesome restoration
Thanks
@@oldshovel
Your welcome
I'd want a steel frame at this point just to strip it and blue it. Nice work, always so generous.
Do it
It came out awesome 👏🏼
Thanks
Hey plastic razors would be good if you wanna peel decals off of a freash paint job without scratching the paint. cool bike
It is soothing to watch this
Inlove with this bike... Such a beauty!
Thank you for what you do!
Oldshovel always does the most balla' paintjobs.
Congratulations for your work. Its amaizing.
Hellos from Spain.
IMH, this is the best looking build I've seen from your channel!
It’s right up there for me too.
I hope there is the traditional 10 cents riding up in those handlebars! haha. Nice work man and great job paying it forward.
Wow! Some lucky kid is gonna be stoked!
Great job! Kinda bummed you didn't film dropping the nickels into the grips... something soothing about that noise ☺
Lucky kid, that’s a beautiful bike
Hi, everyone.
Regarding on the paint job, is there any tips or tricks to avoid the paint become shabby, dull or even chipped? Especially, when I choose spray paint or do the painting?
great video. where can i buy that bottom bracket adaptor? thanx.
up
this is better as any new ride!!! Love it!!
you just made my day, and it's new bike day or me thanks to this :D... amazing day everyone
Thanks
Love your job. Truly inspiring.
Thanks
That looks amazing.
Much beaultiful frame!
How do you determine what method you’re gonna use to prep the frame? Sometimes you sand the paint to rough it up, sometimes down to metal
It does depend on what I’m doing and the frame material. On Aluminum frames if the original paint does not appear to be chipping I try to keep as much of the old paint as it’s primer is working really well. From my experience Aluminum is hard to get good adhesion to so if it was working I want to keep that under layer.
i like your video and your work respect from bosnia and hercegovina
Respect from croatia!
Respect from Macedonia
Awesome thanks
Great one oldshovel! Mabuhay!
Nice job on this bike
So satisfying to watch👍🏽👌
Very very beautiful
