is a super sport as good as this?

stockton350, keep making videos

Nice centerpulls. Was just reading about a Raleigh Randonneur in Reynolds 703/8?

90s hybrids such as these Bridgestones and higher spec'd Trek and Specialized models, especially the steel versions, are truly fantastic all-around bikes once restored. Some have really good period Shimano components such as the 400 and 700CX groups which were made specifically for higher end hybrid bikes,

I think it's just a matter of the company meeting the market demands. People want suspension. I had a neighbor once tell me that he had to have a suspension fork for riding city streets. I had coworker tell me that he needed full suspension on his Mongoose because his weight would break a normal bike from his riding it off of curbs. He said that even then, the bike didn't last long. A lot of people just don't know better. I would probably have some suspension if I didn't have the inclination to research things. I wanted a bike for commuting so,I started reading bikeforums (I always say that if you want to learn about something, a good place to start is with the geeks, as someone who is into it can provide a lot of insight)., which led me to other sources. When I learned that suspension forks were heavy and energy inefficient, I realized that it wasn't suited for my kind of riding. Had I not done my research, I'd probably have a suspension fork, and probably wouldn't know any better.

and when they show pictures of some bikes they only show pictures from a distance and the side of the bike is the side that does not have the gears so you do not know if the chain is all rusted or damaged

I have a Motobecane Citybecane in the project lot do list that has a double up front but canti brakes. It also has the BMX style gooseneck stem and bars with motorcycle inspired handgrips. It is a basket case.

Really nice looking lugged frame! I would turn it into a 1x or even a single speed, keep the giant knobby tires and have a really cool cruiser bike.

This one was $50. It needs a bit of work, though. Do you think it was worth it?

You know you're a bike nerd when you consider putting a Brooks on a trash/parts bin bike lol

I conquer

That first Raleigh looks more like a barn find.

The rockhopper has one piece bull moose bar/stem which are pretty hard to find. I recently picked up a 1984 Peugeot which had them stock and paid $150, in Raynham. www.nps.gov/yose/learn/nature/tuolumne.htm

Who makes those grips? The bike looks beyond great!

90's rigid, north road bars and 2" tyres make for a very comfortable ride.

Twice in a week a mention of Pittsfield. My grandmother was from there.

Where I live you couldn't sell any of these bikes for 2$ Big cities are have weird fauna...

Thanks for this video! I’m putting a Postino on my ‘89 MTB. Nice to see how it looks from different views!

This guy really doesn't know what he is talking about. the Diamondback Edgewood is a great bike. It is very durable and rides smooth.

nice video youtube recommended for me

Gallium works well. Seems scary since it looks like Mercury, but it's relatively easy to use. Scratch up the inside of the post and level the seat tube on the bike stand, horizontal to the floor. Put the gallium inside the seat post itself and let it sit overnight. Spindat has a pretty good video on that too.

That is a heck of a find. That is a great townie or commuter bike.

I think you got a pretty good deal.

Yes definitely

If I didn't have so many projects I would do the drive

I'd say it's worth the drive, kuwahara bikes are pretty nice bikes.

Throw some high pressure tires on it call it a day.

$50

Chrome Diamondback for the win!

Full disclosure. Don't try to change that back wheel. Anything close to modern will be too wide for it. So be ready to stretch the dropouts

Vy-kount, FTLOG...

These videos are so much fun! Feels like hanging out at the bike shop and talking to the guys there. I'm from Ohio - you'd probably get some fun results if you looked at Cleveland, Akron or Columbus. Keep it up!

I have an 86 Rockhopper that has many of the same features like the stem. The brake levers and grips look like what you might find on a motorcycle! Still runs, it’s my semi daily ride and I’m even using some original components.

You know it is worth $75.🙄 😊❤

nice bike, would look better if you dropped the stem down a bit, maybe an inch or inch and a half. It looks a bit dorky as is😂😂

That onevlooks clean !

I'd buy that bike for $75

$75 is a deal for sure

very cool bike .. not many 26" come with the eye lids in the forks

Beautiful color, and with the color matched stem 👨‍🍳💋

We have 'ghost bikes' here in the UK too.

Shimano or Dia Compe U-brakes will work on roller cam bosses and are very good brakes from a stopping power perspective.

Not in the least. You did what any flipper would do; added value to thr product. I have bought bikes for $50 and overhauled down to the frame and relist them at $200. A few sellers come back and offer me $50 again because it is usable. Nope, not happening.

My guess is that a lot of hipsters have moved to Asheville in recent years, they brought their single speeds/fixies with them, then realized that Asheville is way too hilly to bikes without gears, so they're getting rid of them.

Conform to the laws of physics! Love it!

I don't think Miyatas are underrated as far as vintage touring bikes go.

Joseph City has about 40 bicycles from one guy. Don't buy his Trek for $40 that's mine.

It’s not photoshopped on the first one it’s just the handle bar going into the bush
