Light blue and orange really go well together and the the stickers pop.

This is an awesome funky build! I love listening to bike work in your videos - it's so relaxing. However, when I work on my bikes, I like to rock out to music on speakers haha thank you for making that sacrifice for us!

Love that safety tools for components dessembling and assembling

Always enjoy your builds thanks for uploading

what a great fun looking ride! love everything about it. 10/10 sir!

Totally brilliant. What a superb cargo bike. Love it.

Nice! I have a 99' HardRock with a Clydesdale fork that I did a disc conversion on and some other terrible welding. Love it!

I've got this same bike and this video really makes me want to put a 1x on it. Also, Tomi's paint jobs are *so* satisfying to watch. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

I definitely want to say that you really know your stuff my friend, wonderful work and love the Bike. Thanks

This is awesome! Love your Videos, so calming and inspiring. Greetings from Dresden, Germany ✌️

Nice to See you with a new rebuild. You did a amazing Bike paintjob. Really nice. Best regards from germany. Stay well budy. 🤘😃👍

Your skill matches your groovy vision. Keep up the good you bring into the universe!

Love the paint scheme and the custom decals on this, ya dun good!

Crazy cool. Looking forward to doing this to my Bridgestone 88, trail.

So great to see a new video brother. That bike is something else. Hope you are well.

Hell yeah. The frankstein bike . I Dig the disc and rim brake set up .

Amazing build .

Wow, this was quite a build! Love the massive front tire and how it barely fit. I should've bought that crust fork when they were still in stock..

That's a tight build!

Definitely fits into the category of Ultra Groovy!!!!

Dope build.

You got some big thunderstorms in the background.

Need some of those custom stickers!

Colorway go crazy

Very nice!

Great job! Big up from country of Russia!

I like it, cool color

First Video that i saw from you. Awesome Work! 😉👍 Sub for sure ! Greetings from Germany!

Nice, love how that turned out - really unique funky bike. But, how come you didn’t lacquer the paint job? That would’ve protected it and kept it looking fresh.. good work. 👍

Nice again.

I found a Specialized Stumpjumper on Craiglist with no fork. It's in great shape so trying to negotiate a price with the current owner. If I buy it, I'll have to buy a fork and follow your lead here. Pretty cool how even old tech, like that new square tapered BB you installed, spins more freely than most new BB's installed on $10,000 bikes. Free watts, right? Especially on a corgo bike!

Nice job- colors look like an old Bontrager in style. You mentioned a "spacer" for the bottom bracket - but for square taper, wouldn't you have needed a slightly longer spindle to make it work without grinding? Just curious. I do stuff like this all the time. Great job, great use of old frame.

Don't let perfect (or safe) be the enemy of dope

I have a 99 hardrock that looks just like this one but black and silver. I'm planning on throwing a surly troll fork on it for those braze-ons

Love the vids! Quick tip: when you're undoing potentially stuck/overtorqued bolts like chainring bolts, you want to be using the straight hex end of the wrench, not the ball end. Reduces your chances of stripping the head.

SUPER FUNKY

Awesome build! Love the relaxing and unpretentious vibe of your videos. I'm super grateful. Greetings from Montreal Canada !

You make putting bikes together seem easy 😭😭 I can barely put brakes on a bike

เยี่ยมมาก awesome 😍

Interesting bike. Like

Specialized

yo this shit is poppin 🤘🤘

Saum Arkoun for the cool build video

Excelente😀

just found this I am I am restoring the same exact bike! Longshot but.... you still have the original fork? mine is bent ...i know this was done last year but I figured I'd try! I'll pay shipping! thanks!

epic!

i have rear and front the same tires on my dh bike on 20'' and 67mm rims :P bike was with 26'' wheels first :P (big rollers)

These bikes are becoming more rare and hard-to-find like everything else one day they will like me trying to find a Model T or Model A Car I think we all get the picture by what I was saying these bikes are becoming more scarce they are part of Viking history and need to be preserved and their own originality not slaughtered or disgrace

WAS INTERESTED IN THOSE FORKS BUT YOU SKIPPED OVER THAT PART OF THE BUILD!!! OTHERWISE GOOD VIDEO, HAPPY TRAILS!!!🤬👹🐒

matcha kitkat👍

Nice👍👍👍

Now I know what to do with my old Specialized😀, where did you find the front tyre? I'm surching for fat 20 inch tyres.

when in doubt grind it out lol

Cool

👍👍👍👍👍

Why do you use a schrader valve and a presta valve together on the same build? Seems an odd choice

03:34 ouch! 😅

How's your friend liking the Corner Bars? I have a Redwood with Advent X (10 speed) and got the flat bar version to try those same bars later on. Loving Snack Attack!

Echt cool👍👍👍👍

What 26in rim brake wheel set do you recommend to put a 11 speed cassette on?

Tops

What stand are you using? I’m looking for a budget minded bike stand.

Filipino subs here..

i´m missing a clearcode on your fresh paint :-)

What steerer size does the Hard rock have? 1" or 1 1/8"

Corner bar? Cargo? LOL

Yo! Did you use the original rear wheel?

ficou maneira, só não precisava tirar a pintura original

19 90-sickness

What groupset did you use sir ?

Funny enough I just found my friend a 1996 Hard Rock for her city bike, and I just put a Clydesdale on my 1992 Hard Rock. Are the 2.8” tires treating you well? I never ride in mud so I’m intrigued but that clearance is super close!

Is this a steel frame??

Where are you from in Cambodia?

LOL Ranier

Good work and thank you for the video! But if you have on original Specialized bike from 1996 and the paint is still ok, never change the color! It's like changing the color if a red Ferrari. Never change that either. Always take a no-name frame to change color.

Fuck don't wanna be that hater but why no proper sanding and clear coat? And that brake hose att 18:24 doesn't sit very wel. Nice bike!

everything is good except for the paint job.

Look I'm for all like Restorations but customizing your bike is good but when it comes to the point of making it or it's not original or far away from its original design it is just disturbing he mentions in this video the great sounds of bike registration it sounds like to me that he is going to ruin a great vintage mountain bike of res for years that we used to always enjoy that was while we are able to still see around I am for restoration but when you start changing things or they're not original it becomes fake especially an old school mountain bike like this specialized Hardrock I own a specialized Hardrock I plan on restoring it fully to its original condition as possible and not very away from the originality of when it came off its Factory line

I don't know about you guys that are watching this video but this is like a nightmare slaughtering a perfectly good vintage mountain bike instead of restoring a close to its originality this guy I sure is a good mechanic but he needs to be stopped or someone needs to sit down and have a serious talk with him about the originality of old-school vintage mountain bikes is actually running the value of an old classic it's very hard to watch it's like a slow-moving train wreck he's not even going to use original drivetrain I'm not sure but I bet he's going to stretch the frame out and that's just slaughtering the bike the idea of having a bike of this nature I believe is having more originality

👍👍👍
