What do you think of Ollie's new paint job? 👀 Would you like to see more DIY and bike painting videos? This version is now available in 1080p Premium! Relax and enjoy this viewing experience! 🎥
A question or video idea for gcn tech: How does full internal cable routing (cockpit too) work for mechanical group sets. I've seen it and was baffled because I thought it wasn't possible.
What I love is that you repainted it from scratch, but you went the whole extra kilometer(*) to make it as close to the original as possible. Great choice! I've seen too many videos of old bikes repainted in absurd colours just for the sake of it. -- (*) It's an Italian bike after all...
Hi Ollie, I’m so excited for your project. I’m pretty much doing same as you but I’m going to powder coat the first color. My bike is a 1965 schwinn continental. I’m going to be putting campagnolo veloce 10. Ive got a few more things to track down. I’m sure yours is going to be pretty nice.
One tip when using a flit can, immerse the can in hot water for five or ten minutes, shake, re-immerse for five minutes in fresh hot water, shake, repeat a couple more times. Dry the can so water doesn't drip off. Helps paint to spray more finely, and flow out better on the primer.
So nothing that was shown was done with something that most people have at home. It would be nice to see the results from using for example spray paint in a can. Still it’s fun to watch how it’s done professionally.
"I want to teach you how you can do this at home, yourselves", then proceeds use a spray gun instead of the cans ;) Great video despite that. :) Link to the decal supplier?
Guys, you're just super talented into ruining good steel bikes, its incredible. You had a full chrome plated frame - its is very expensive to make now, its almost make this bike to be corrosion resistant (almost like stainless). And you ruined it, no words were spoken about considering to save it! You ruined one of the main features of this frame. So "better than it was before" is just a joke here. Mirror shine at places where paint peel of its a feature, its something unique. Now if you get a scratch it will bleed with rust. No words about how you can use chrome - cromevelato effect, no words about why this surface is nice to have, that its protect frame from rust. Nothing. No words about "if you chose bright color and making it outside - be aware of insects that will want to sit on a fresh brite paint". I don't know how, but every video about steel bikes you're so disappointing me, just team of just speaking heads that have no passion for bikes, who are not really young, but so narrow-minded about modern bikes so don't have any knowledge about good old things that you sometimes decide to touch.
"I want you to restore this in a way that someone at home can do" . "Not a problem, im just going to degrease this and put it in the BLAST CABINET" !!!!! Who has a blast cabinet at home ??
Removing the paint I feel removed the 'sole' of the bike, you might as well have brought a new frame an old bike should have reminders of its history not look new, really sorry but I found it very sad to watch the paint being removed, as all the bikes history has been lost, there is nothing of its history left
They also made a so smart decision to remove chrome plating (steel should rust huh?) with no words about pros of saving it, I don't know how they can be so consistent in ruining old bikes.
What a load of utter con as per usual from GCN makes out you can do the whole thing from a rattle can then gets someone to do it for him for free whilst doing staged bits himself don't be fooled by this nonsense if you had to pay for a sand blast and paint job you are looking at £500 at least

Could someone drop a link to where the decals came from? Please.
Now that is quality allows to see all the details, must point out you put one set of decals upside down and got a Cube logo on the seattube
Yeah I think this is cool. Ollie is lucky he gets to do stuff like this for work.

Watching the look on Ollie's face during this process is similar to watching a little kid wake up Christmas morning. Priceless! Great job!
Wow!! That revision to HD from 480p sure makes that frame shine even better. Thanks GCN for this.
Beautiful work as always,Ali and Becs!
Thank you. This video helped me decide on how I'm going to restore my next bike.
HD remaster. You love to see it.

This is a wonderful project, I would love to see more of this kind of thing. Very enjoyable.
Interesting video, great results so far, thanks 🏁

I see that the idea of “mailing it in around Christmas” has made it to the UK
Eh? Didn't I watch this yesterday?
Nah, that was a different vintage Italian steel frame that just happens to look exactly the same. Weird, right?
You are in Matrix
The original version was uploaded in 480p standard definition, but they have re-uploaded it in HD 1080p
@@risesir😂
Am I trapped, like you, in video repeats? Send help?!

Wow this second (third?) paint job has so much more definition!
🧐
I would have preserved the patina of this frame, it is telling a history. Reminds me of my younger years because I am way older than this frame☺😉
Re-upload... But why day 14 not ep. 2? Did I miss 13 days of uploads?
Looks awesome though
Original video was only 480p
@@InitialP_Photography bingo! for some reason it didn't process in HD!
Very interesting, thanks.
Brilliant!
Reupload in the name of repaint? Supernice! 🔔🔔🔔
👨🎨
I think this has been reposted due to the poor video quality of the first version. Thanks for rectifying GCN
no worries!
Way better now. 👍
phew!
Looks amazing! I know a lot of older Italian bikes were fully chromed under the paint. Can you still bead blast those?
Ollie, lovely finish but what are you going to do inside the tubes, so it doesn't rust from the inside out?
de ja vous all over again :-)
Is this a re-upload of the same video? But this time at 1080p instead of 480p?
must be Groundhog Day repeat
You'll never ride a stiff carbon tennis racket again.
14:48 man you have did a good job but don't overestimate your self!
please advise sizes of your paint gun tips
"I want to teach you how you can do this at home, yourselves", then proceeds use a spray gun instead of the cans ;) Great video despite that. :) Link to the decal supplier?
Where are decals from. I've tried to find in US. Not much luck.
Looking for old Schwinn
The old version had a certain old-timey BBC quality to it though.
Just make a T-Shirt with the title 480p and give it to Ollie in a Christmas 😂😂😂
It was perfectly watchable in the lower resolution.🤷♂️
Wait! Wait! Isn't that a repost?
nope. This one is in HD!
@@gcntech Oh! an HD Repost, how cute
hahaha the reupload after they realised they only uploaded in 480p
It's a shame you didn't just put clear coat on there so that people could admire the look of the shiny metal.
Re-upload?
yeah, for some reason the first one didn't process into HD! We like things done properly!
Slightly confused Did i not watch this episode yesterday?
