Restoring this family relic for Eric Porter was fun and I feel like the bike turned out great. If you haven't already be sure to check out his channel @PorterMTB.

4 cross spoke lacing😊! It means that from the hub to the rim, every "pulling" spoke would cross 4 "pushing" spokes. As a young cyclist, i once read somewhere that this was by far 4 the best pattern, much better than the standard 3 cross. So it became like an obsession. And I managed to respoke all my bicycles: back wheel, front wheel, road race bike, track, even bicycles provided by my sponsor brand! Not sure it enhanced my performances, pretty sure no one noticed, but I kind of was proud of it. Thank you for reminding me of my competition years.

Old bike shop trick for stuck seat posts is to fill the post with ammonia. Breaks the bond between aluminum and steel. 🙂

I am currently building a Trek Multitrack as a single speed bike. I couldn't get the aluminum seat post out. Had to saw it off just above the frame and then slit it lengthways from the inside with a reciprocating saw ... You can't let the scrap win ;-).

I had a similar frame w/ that exact same stem that my Dad found in the junkyard and built it up with random salvaged parts. It a 20" wheeled bike and it had that exact style of crank and the skip chain chainring. My Dad hand filed every other tooth out of the rear gear and had an old skip chain he had found somewhere. I rode that bike all through the 70's until I cracked it from jumping wooden ramps.

Hello and many greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 You did an incredible job and I looked up the saddle and fell over what they cost today. So it’s definitely worthwhile restoring these old things, because as you said they have stories to tell. I think when you dived into the work you made your ideas who has ridden the bike . Take care and stay healthy and: keep on going 👍🍀🌞🚲🚲

I did not do it as well as you but I enjoyed doing it and I liked how it turned out. If I could, I show you a picture of my bike. Greetings from México.
