Amazing work!
Awesome vid boys! Been too long! I have a 1974 Rekord
Love this sort of restoration. Something about bringing the old stuff good, and 100%… knowing bearings are breathing a sigh of relief is a real plus.
Vintage Bike Porn! Fantastic work!
lovely jubbly
That bike was one step away from the rubbish heap, and now it can go in a bike shop window.
Morning Gents and a belated happy new year to Team Bikespeeds 🍻. Another stunning result. Love the deep red gloss colour, the chrome, and the Bianchi crest on the front of the bike. Wow! Have a great weekend gents 🫡
Stunning restoration guys, it's like a new classic bike.
Nice and deep restauration ! Happy new year Bikespeeds ! The paint looks very good for a bike of this age. The freewheel must have been indeed too difficult to service. It's fortunate to be still able to buy new ones on the market. Normally I would put an odd number of balls in the headset bearings, or any bearing, 25 instead of 26, even with a gap but this is a small detail.. Congratulation for this job !
I comment every time, but I do LOVE these restoration videos. You guys have really found a niche here and I will keep coming back. Thanks very much
Wow cool never seen one of those before old Bianci road bike 🚴🏻
Great video as always mate. Planet earth needs more restorers like you. You’re a credit to cyclists
Very nice awesome job guys always love watching your videos
Nice job Lee and Simon, appreciate the time you put into these vids
Smashing bike, what a looker, but you have bought it all back to life. Always good to watch.
Customer must be well chuffed!
What a lovely job. You made those cheap components look wonderful. The wheels and especially the tyres look amazing. Fabulous work as usual.
As always a real pleasure to watch! You have transformed this old bianchi into better than new, even if it has rather cheap components on it. The brake levers are not original but are very cool. This bike, especially the frame, is in an amazing condition regarding its age. Probably it wasnt ridden quite often.
If it was mine, I would have swapped these old components and build a singlespeed or fixed gear bike with newer parts such as a 105 or tiagra front brake and removed the ugly chainstay sticker😄
That's a stunner.
a work of art
Another winner.
Really nice job
Beautiful before and afters. Looks awesome. I should do more cruddy bikes on my channel lol. Great job!
I'm planning on restoring my 1975 Bianchi. This was very helpful. I feel a little more confident now.
Impeccable service as always. Even by commuter standards this bike was pretty much unrideable. Cleaned up very nicely though. Love the touches like replacing the seat and pedals. Makes a huge difference. Bye for now!
Magnificent, gents. What more can be said. This is Art.
Great video Lee. I would have been tempted to put non aero brake levers on it. It would have made it perfect for L’Etoica or similar vintage rides 👍
I’m 30 sec into this and can imagine how different the after-photos are going to look 🤩
Get a new road bike … proper carbon frame + rims with wireless shifting 🦿
I love your videos. Your attention to detail is commendable. As a shop owner and head mechanic I use some of your tips to train new employees. Question – I noticed you didn't use Frame Saver while the bike was broken down. What are your thoughts on that?
Great video. I'd replace the wheel cones. I'd adjust them by holding one end in a vice – that way you can make small adjustments to get it as good as you can – I can't see how you get it right otherwise. I'd also fit a brand new bottom bracket.
What a lovely rebuild with some educational bits thrown in as usual. You make it look like anyone could do this but this is true craftsmanship. ♥️♥️♥️
Another stunning job. Those older almost basic components always clean up so well the quality was really good on them. 💯👍
Lovely job that. I did up a similar aged Peugeot last winter. I got lucky as it was mostly just really dirty from being in a garage for 30 years. Lots of cleaning and new tyres, cables and bar tape etc and it rides sweet.
When you cut a screw, having a nut on will make your life a lot easier – it will rethread the cut part when you run the nut over it.
Hi Bike speed Your video on restoring this old bike is wonderful ,and all the other one's you do .When I was a school boy I worked weekends in a bike shop called Young's in Lewisham in South east London and we would work on these type of bike's ,the owner build my Young's frame and I used race at Crystal Palace track and a fixed wheel bike at Herne Hill track .l still ride now at 76 .Regards Chris Owen 👍
Fantastic, really enjoyed that!
Wonderful work! 👌🏼
