Sand paper, brass wheel, screwfix paint remover and many hours of pain and suffering. Primered, snickered and lacquered x4 coats. Still building it, just waiting on the paint to harden. Vid here

I used to be mad into doing motorbike projects and other stuff. I always put them up on forums and found that as a good source of info but when photobucket went pay for or forums redesigned they lost the photos which made your project make no sense anymore. YouTube is a way of sharing...

Thanks a million Peoples, just added another video of a more modern MTB. Working on an older GT at the moment too. Any constructive criticism welcome. My video editing skills need improvement and I am not sure how well my voiceover comes across... but I'm building bikes and that's fun...

I apologise perfuseley! I presumed my target audience was sad old men in sheds just like me. 🤣 I am very glad to have shed ladies now included in my demographic. Thanks for the encouragement!😎

Why thank you good sir. I may put up a ride review at some stage. Working on two new videos currently. One older GT and a more modern MTB. Will pop them up here if people are interested. 👍

Brilliant, I'm going to buy some beer so! 🍺 🤣

I have a Giant Cadex Aluminium frame I built up as a hybrid. All is working well apart from the seatpost. I have tightened the bolt as much as I feel it should and yet the seatpost keeps slipping down when riding. It's the correct size for the seat tube. Any gentle ideas to solve this...

Finished this a while back and it's lovely to ride. Video of the build too, which had a few problems. Bottom bracket thread, seized V brake and a sting in the tail wit the pre installed headset cups. 😬 Hope you enjoy my awful editing! 🤣

Yep, Kona Hahanna. It was a fun experience and I learned alot. I commuted on it for about a year but em it was very heavy with sketchey brakes! 🤣 Vid of the build, warning contains modern stuff too.

Well it's like new! Just picked up this beauty, all original and like it came from the factory. Paint is near immaculate! Canondale grips and all! The headshok just needed a bit of pressure. Let's hope she holds it. Savage color! 1 owner from new. I don't think I'll change a thing on this...

Had it for 18 months solid. Tried everything all the gadgets insoles physio dry needling ultrasonic machines special sexy socks at night in the end one stretch cured it. I had to do it 5 times a day for a month but it worked. I'm back running marathons now. Stand in a door frame, wearing...

What I can't get over is the price of WD40! It's 9 euro for a tiny can now! Bigger cans are 15e. Gt 85 is still under 3 euro and I buy as much as I can carry when I see it! Plus it doesn't swell rubber seals etc.

Any constructive criticism welcome. Some retro, some ugly and lovely builds. https://youtube.com/@gojohnnygo4781 More videos to come. If you are very bored have a look! Cheers fellow retro/cycling people's! 👍 All done on a budget in my shed! 😃

I'm still recovering! 🤣

Glad to be of service. I couldn't find a decent write up so went at it. Wish me luck, first proper outing due this weekend.

Oops, mods feel free to move it.

So this GT I Drive 1.0 is fighting me, I'm pretty sure it's a 2001. https://photos.app.goo.gl/g8AzE2tjj9b2dphp9 I have been reading up on how to rebuild this and found some people talking about it in 2009 and some helpful chap on another forum put up an original GT manual with pictures but...

Sorry its S7B

Sorry couldn't upload the frame no S76BY01640 I think its a 98 timberline....???

I'm dying to know when this steel timberline is from. I also have an Steel Aggressor that needs repainting but will take the number for you before I do.
