I wish I had a bike shop near me with such dedication to detailing
Yall brought it back to life! Wish the customer would have paid for new pedals and bar tape tho
Love your channel all the way from Cape Town South Africa
Thanks for your support!🧡⚙️🇿🇦
Lee! Thank you for doing such an excellent clean. I think I will put it on the wall now! I couldn’t risk getting it grubby again 😀
Would thoroughly recommend this service.
You’re more than welcome!
Maam, please invest in some nice vintage-ish pedals. Your bike deserves it!
I hope you've changed the pedals, Louise. That's a gorgeous bike.
I like the way you carefully tiptoe your way around what you call the 'purist' when you actually mean the 'anoraks'😉
I enjoy your work!
I've always loved cycling,my first bike was an old beat up little frame my dad found discarded on the side of the road,he painted it put wheels on it and revived it for me (we were poor,I was 5 or 6) anyway I learn a lot from you and I love people with passion for what they do,and you're one of them people,thank you and you have a new subscriber,peace brother! 🙋♂️🕊👍💪🙏🙂
Great to hear the story! Glad to have you here
My first was dull brown, I walked to buy sand paper and paint because I didn't want anyone to see me riding a brown bike. I took it apart, sanded it down and painted it bright yellow then white handlebar tape. When I was old enough to work (at 12) from my first check I got a white Avocet saddle and it looked like a million dollar bike.
I love the fact that you go above and beyond what is asked of you. These little extra touches are so hard to find in a business today it seems! Keep up the amazing work!
Very kind thank you🧡
I just got an old school 90s Bianchi road bike this past summer, and will be giving it a full cleaning this winter. Your video has encouraged me to really deep clean all the hardware, thank you!
Enjoy it Scott!
You've inspired me to do a full detail/rebuild on a very grimy 80s nishiki I have. It has some suntour components and stem mounted shift levers. Thank you for showing us what is possible!
Good luck and enjoy!🧡⚙️
It would look awesome with celeste blue wrap/seat/cable housing!! It would pop!!
One of these days it will be affordable to ship bikes from the USA to England and then, you will have my bikes. Guaranteed.
I spy an Accutron! Amazing things, I have an early 70s one myself :-)
Very nice!
laying hands on an old bike and making it better feels very fine
That looks so good! Too nice to ride you've done such a fabulous job 😂😂😂
Just needs some nice navy blue Deda bar tape to match the Bianchi decals and even some chrome Wellgo pedals would be an improvement….
Just picked up bianchi Eros a little abused love that sonic cleaner Nothing like bringing a bike back to life😎
Enjoy it!
Look at shine bright brilliant wow
We wish we could go back and do this one again with our newer filming experience!🧡
Love this!!
Great job!
Excellent work, love seeing old bikes brought back to life… just subbed!
Thanks for subbing and commenting Grant!🧡
I’m purchasing one tomorrow! Can’t wait to clean her up!
You’ll love it
A fine job.
Love it
What you do is not a job, it's a passion.
cool job. I like it 👍
Thanks!
I had a second hand yellow Bianchi, very similar to this, about 10+ years ago, probably longer, but the headtube splayed out and I couldn't get the headset to seat properly, plus being a Bianchi it was quite a stretched geometry, so I let it go. It was a real mongral of Shimano and Campag parts! Not my doing, but watching this made me a bit nostalgic!
Thanks for watching Hugh!
I have the same bike. It's blue tho. i think its a 1998. great bike!
I saw a video where a guy takes off the chain stay protector with a blow drier and it came right off.
Another brilliant job! I believe this is a 2002 model.
Wow we didn’t know that thanks🧡⚙️
Mine's the same: 2001-2002, 9 speeds, 3 chainrings and still working.
I just picked the same exact bike recently a Bianchi Eros same colors derailleurs brakes stickers etc ,I believe too it’s a 2002..
I miss polished aluminum parts
As do we!🧡⚙️
Awesome video you just got another subscriber …
I just got one of those bikes and I wondering if this model has Italian bottom bracket ?
I am thinking mid 90's 95 or 96. I have a 1996 Bianchi Veloce (black) steel
Loved watching the tidy up, but the crappy bar tape and handlebar angle was like fingernails down a blackboard. I totally get why you left it like that, but it detracted from what would have been a stunning result. Great work (again) though
What degreaser fluid is in that ultrasonic machine? Does the stuff really come out like that…? (eg the front mech and the brakes were sooo dirty before!)
That is neat degreaser and yes it really does!🧡
素晴らしい仕事だが、HUB,BB,HEDSETなど回転部分に分解掃除給油をしてない。RGはプリーだけ給油しているが、脱脂している箇所に潤滑湯を施していない。外観だけきれいだ。
Beautiful bike and love the detailing. I appreciate that you should torque up the bolts but where do you get the information from. Is their like a web site you can get the settings from?. Thanks
I’m a Campagnolo fan, and they are really good at archiving their old manuals, so I get torque settings from their website. Modern mainstream frame makers will have torque setting in downloadable manuals as well. Old stuff, gets tricky. I was told the goal is to make sure it’s safely on without damaging anything. You use a torque wrench to make sure you’re not going overboard.
@mariorodriguez4472 Good info thanks.
Nice work! What degreaser do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner? What detergent do you use to clean the parts? Thanks!
Hi Denis! We use a “no nonsense degreaser” by screwfix in the UK simply because it’s what we use and it works for us!🧡
@@Bikespeeds Thank you for your reply. Again, your work is impressive. I can tell because I often do the same thing on bikes. But not with your level of expertise.
what soap do u use when cleaning?
o need to water rinse?
Nice one! How long do you leave parts in the ultrasonic cleaner for? Cheers.
It depends on the part & how dirty it is. 10-20 min for most
What kind of ultrasonic cleaner machine do you recommend?
Better to put the PSI number by the valve IMHO = OCD 2.0 lol
Hi there, could you please tell me the torque setting for shimano bolts for connecting the small chain ring to the big chain ring 🤔
That will depend on the chainset. Steel or aluminium etc. just Google it, Shimano are well documented.
Hi there, I've got a Bianchi ML3 and the aluminium on the frame have oxidised and some paint peeled off. How would you restore it ? Would patch spray painting be a good idea or just get rid of the oxidised part and polish with protection ?
It would be very much frame and corrosion specific. “Personally” I love patina so wouldn’t spray a frame, but that depends on the level of the restoration. I’d probably use a self etching primer and a touch up with a brush. If your not a professional or confident with a spray gun, spraying will always show.
@@Bikespeeds thanks for the suggestion. Gonna clean it up to check for any cracks first over this weekend. Hopefully there isn't so I can start working on it ☺️
@@Bikespeeds on the note of patina, the Celeste colour flaking and exposing oxidised aluminium does look like patina
As always, great job (and another nice wrist watch). Just don't understand how someone can ride a what used to be +1500-quid proper road bike with 5-quid plastic platform pedals instead of appropriate clip-in pedals. Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to sell such components?
Watch. 1969 Bulova Acutron space view.
I wonder how much labor would be required for such a service. I think it took a few hours for that. I also work at a bike shop, but I don't have time to do a detailed service like in this video and it would cost the customer a lot of money.
The majority of videos are genuine commercial jobs, this was no exception. Price sensibly and give a reasonable time frame allowing for other work. Keep up the good work & thanks for watching
Those pedals are a crime.
Interested in doing my Bianchi Advantage for sentimental reasons. Total Cost?
Is it degreaser or water in the ultrasonic cleaner? If not, what is it? Thanks, Henry
Hi Henry, we use degreaser in ours🧡
@@Bikespeeds Thanks for your very speedy reply!
@@Bikespeeds Also, can you recommend a particular ultrasonic cleaner to buy and where can you get it?
This is a strange version of bike. Group and components are from 2000 as you can see on the Campagnolo's labels and ergos. In 1998/1999 Mirage levers were made by aluminium. Only in 2000 were in Plastic. But the frame is from '98 (look the label on the fork, and the seat post clamp) painted in color available in 2000.... You can notice looking at the steering set. Threaded. In 2000 all frames from Bianchi were with ahead set.
And last just a suggestion: correct pronunciation is Bianki not Bianci. Nice work at all.
Superb Knowledge of these beautiful old bikes & components thanks for the insights.
@@Bikespeeds I grew up with Bianchi in my heart. I've been also a semi professional with bianchi from 2000 since 2004!!
@@alleborgo5481 Amazing you can tell all that....
I am about to buy a Bianchi Eros with very similar badging in what looks to be a dark blue with white lettering and 650cc wheels.
I think it may be a Donna but I am just not sure.
Its triple butted chromo.
Any idea what year Eros were produced with 650cc?
@@maybebabyny Bianchi Eros Donna has been provided from 2000 to 2007. But all models where available with 700c wheels. Blu was one of first configuration's choice. Hence you're probably going to purchase an earlier model. But without further details or pictures I can't exactly tell..
@@alleborgo5481 the odd part is I can't find anywhere that says when the Eros was fitted with 650cc.
I can't find the Bianchi catalog for 2001 but I am thinking that is it.
2002 bike...I bought one in immaculate condition 2020 and sold it 2021, regretted it.
Your are 100% correct; I have a Giant with Mirage groupset and the same wheels.
El- I have my eye on a 2000 Eros right now in graphite. Super clean, all Campy. I'm curious on how much you sold yours for and how much the 2000 might be worth.
@@Mgrant8163 It's worth what you are willing to pay. Celeste color are in higher demand, which affects the price. $450 was the blue book for the bike that I had and I paid less than that. I sold it above blue book, the guy was so happy...it was in amazing condition. $350 to $650 I would say is the range for the color.
@@elcid6325 Thank you so much. This bike looks impecable and is for sale at $599 so it's in the range that you noted. Not necessarily a "deal" per se but a nice bike and getting harder and harder to find. Just making sure that what I'm willing to pay is not because I'm in love...LOL.
@@Mgrant8163 Great...Yes, they are getting harder to find....offer a little less it won't hurt....Good luck with your purchase.
She's a beauty!
I'd say that's a 2002 Eros.
At best check out the serial number and if it's 'H2xxxxxx" it's a 2002 and the frame was build in the Hodaka facility in Taiwan.... final assembly done in Treviglio. Sold to Cycleurope UK (Bianchi England).
wow, that's great info. the bike left us a long time ago, but when it comes back for a service I'll be looking! 🧡
I’d bet 2002 as well. My wife’s bike is the exact same spec and is a 2002.
Did the owner ride it through the oil fields of Kuwait lol
🤣😂
Deda stem face plate back to front …
The Italian "chi" is spelt like your English "ki". "Bianki".
why always his video in fast forward?
Bianchi is pronounced Bian-kee not Bian-Chee
You're pronouncing Bianchi wrong
And “deraillieur”…. :-)
Bianchi is an Italian company, so the "ch" is pronounced like a hard "k". Love the videos usually, but that really ruined this for me.
