I started in MTB in 92 or 93. Watching restorations videos is like a terapy, remember me the time that I used to fix my bike in my father's garage. I'm from Brazil, this bike (or others similar) was very expensive. Just a dream for that time. Congratulations for the vídeo!

Love rebuilding these old school mtb’s. I’m surprised those 2.4 width tires fit!

ASMR of bike restoration 💆🏽‍♂️ Who would’ve thought? Clean job all around!

omg i got one of these. still riding it throught town and always wanted to give it an extensive rebuild. that's the perfect video for me, thank you!!

I am restoring my 1997 Hoo Koo right now. Still trying to decide how I want to go about paint matching the original color “Bloodshot Red”. Love the layered paint job! You may have luck trying several light coats of paint and holding the can further away from the frame. This will help prevent runs and heavy buildup and really give it that OEM look! This thing is super cool 😎

Bikes baby! Those tubeless look so fun

Somehow managed to watch this video last, even though it looks like it's where it all started. Love your work 👌🏻

Nice job. I look forward to more rebuilds. Thanks for all your hard work. Great video.

Bro you’re the first small channel I’ve been able to find when it comes to bike stuff, KZfaq is completely suppressing all small creators when it comes to bike stuff

we need more!!! 🤤

Wow this is awesome! Got an old gary I’m working on too

Cool work, you are painting so closed to the frame with the can, when you are so closed an intense with the paint the drops appear. Congratulations for the channel.

I learned a lot!! Sick work

you are deffinatly an artist my friend great work!!!

loving your videos, and positivity

See potential, keep going hard bro love the restoration vids👨🏻‍💻

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang tomi. I saved this video for last and it was well worth waiting until the perfect moment to watch. I think this was my favorite of all of your builds. i might rewatch it. well done!

Like that knife!

This is insane! No joke here, I promise. I found that exact frame, for free in a recycling center in 98"' if I remember right. Built it up and rode it through several continents starting in New Delhi. That thing had been to Asia, Oz , the Americas and on to Africa. Where it is now with a friend. Free frame, no joke. Gary's brilliance and wizard level geometry are legendary for good reason, "Man's Best Friend" If I'm not mistaken there was a limited edition of those.. The Grateful Dead version. Love your bike, very nice work. Cheers

love the color schemes, really neat job 👌🏽 keep it up, looking forward on more restos!

This is soooooooo soothing.....

Great build! New sub!!

I dig your paint jobs man, keep it up, they look great ! I also love bringing these old soldiers back from the dead and keeping them outta the landfill too ! We have plenty of great bikes here already they just need to be Rescued, Revived and Ridden !

I need to see more restaurations big like

Nice restoration.👍🏾

🔥🔥🔥

nice job!

It was a great video!

Nice restoration my friend. I am restoring another Gary Fisher also.

good job sir

New subscriber here 🤙 hooked on reviving old mtb’s myself bit of an old Marin and kona nut 😆, great video 👍 I’ll be checking out your others

Dope !

How inspiring! I picked up a Hoo Koo E Koo like yours, and it’s been sitting waiting for me to figure out what to do with it. Thanks fir sharing this great video! Where did you get your decals? I also have a Kona Kula Supreme that was ridden hard and needs rebuilt. The Scandium frame back in the day was $5k! It has a silver finish with clear coat that is dinged up; any tips on how to repaint or finish it, and where to get decals? Thanks again!

Wow!!! That paint job is incredible!! You the man bro. Great restoration.

I found the same exact bike on Craigslist for 70 dollars. Mine even had the original Tioga Psycho tires on it. I completely rebuilt the bike, converting it to commuting use with full fenders, rack and dynamo hub. It's got the perfect geometry for agile city riding with a steep stem and swept back handlebars. I replaced the fork with a suspension corrected chromoly fork from the same era. This Gary Fisher has some sentimentality for me so repainting it isn't an option. The original grey paint and stickers give it so much character and nostalgia.

Maybe this has been stated, but I am surprised that non-tubless rims worked. Usually, the "hooks" on the rim and tire bead have to match up to seal for air. I am in the middle of a 1995 Cronus rebuild, but will not be repainting it or using tubeless tires. Love your color scheme.

Мечтаю о таком велосипеде:)

Nice video...but you may want to watch some spray painting videos first 😉. I would have left it as is

Have you tried locktite freeze and release on bottom bracet? Seems to work ok

Profesional

the overspray thoo

A tinta escorreu toda

Out of curiosity how to you print the bike decals?

Do some tricks!

my god, the paint job is appauling

Just picked up one for 60 myself. Same color. Stx group. Handlebar is very loose. Looks in like allen bolt is stripped. And has flat tire. Otherwise it's ok.

Kind of sad to see the frame stripped. Personally, I prefer it how it originally looked.

bruh lmao

14:23 something went wrong with the paint here. Excess of paint I guess.

Picking up one friday for $150..

Aus alt mach neu 👍👍👍👍👍

com a pintura original ela estaria melhor...

This was really a clumsy job. Paintrun and so on. Not at all a god job.

Man, why using those sucking trigger shifters instead of the original grip shifters?

I'm sorry but watching the scraping off of the original Gary Fisher decals was sacrilegious. And the new runny paint job versus cleaning up and keeping the original paint was a huge mistake. Maybe in twenty years someone will undo this and restore the bike back to original.

Sorry to say, but very bad paint work.

Very bad project..... Sangat jelek pekerjaan nya

badly painted

Have you tried spray.bike spray paint made just for bikes yet?
