An old Trek 4100 is brought back from the dead. A step, by step process, explained with informational banter along the way!

I work on bikes and still ride as much as I can. I watch your videos and still learning stuff. Keep up your good work.

Nice job!... I really don't know which is more fun: repairing or riding a bike... Love both!

Love the narration and the whole format of your videos. I have worked for a year doing up old bikes for a charity and you are teaching me and reassuring me I am on the right track. Many thanks. 😊

Your comentary while wrenching on bikes is making me want to watch more! I learn so much from your thoughts shared.

Great video, I learned some nice tricks. Please continue to narrate as you are very informative! Thanks for posting it! The only downside is that you just gave me an unwanted errand. Now I feel as though I should clean my own bike:)

‘Like putting lipstick on a pig’ 😂. Love your videos dude; new subscriber here. Stumbled across your channel yesterday and pretty much watched your entire back catalogue now. Also inspired me to get in the garage and sort my bikes out. Jobs I’ve been meaning to do for months. Thanks bro.

Good video. I enjoyed the talking and the rambling and explaining your thought process. it really was a re-condition job. Would like to see you do an upgrade job on a similar bike from this era. I have a trek 6500 that needs a major upgrade after years of abuse. Nice channel you got a sub, best of luck with your business.

sometimes with v brakes i just pull the cable all the way tight, then lightly snug the pinch bolt, then pull the lever to the point i want the pads to touch in the lever pull, then tighten the pinch bolt ... makes dialing in the lever pull pretty quick

So, actually, he runs more a Bike Trauma Center, Level 1, than a Farm, especially for these kids bikes. And, perhaps after he loses his first finger, and gets help from that type of place, he'll rename his business. Or not.

I'm often a little worried that lubing my cables will attack dirt?

@Mantis858585 2 жыл бұрын

I thought at one point I could buy, fix, and flip bikes and I have bought and sold maybe 20 bikes. I've given away a hand full of others that don't sell. The problem in my opinion is the market is flooded with people selling bikes that they bought 15 years ago, never rode, and now are selling for peanuts. There are also several stolen bikes also being sold very cheaply. Seems impossible to make a profit. Oh well, I have fun rehabbing them. I enjoy seeing the neighborhood children still riding bikes I gave them long ago. Peace ✌️

@@Mantis858585 If you form an LLC, get insured, secure vendors, create a brand and start a legitimate business that consumers can rely on, you can most definitely charge enough for refurbished bicycles to be profitable. Of course, you need to have a broad skill-set combined with a ton of hustle and grit to pull it off. If you're a hobbyist, playing in the local Craigslist/yard sale market, you're not gonna make any money for yourself - but I'll gladly service the bikes you sell in my shop! Basically, you gotta be professional about it. I've found it's what most people want and need, even in my small town off 6,000 people 11 miles from Trek HQ surrounded by some of the greatest cycling stores in the nation.
