Very nice rehab video here, and i love that frame with the matching handlebar. One suggestion i would make when it comes to repairing an "indexed"/"brinelled" headset: try to repack it with new 5/32" balls, lose the retainers (cages and pack it up with just loose balls....fill up the cups with as many balls as you can fit, minus 1. Easiest to do with lots of grease, frame upside down as you pack the lower cup, then slide the fork in, flip it over, and do the top cup. Then you can install the top race, keyed washer, and locknut as usual. Smooths them out 95% of the time..... but i tend to just put a new Tange Levin in a bike like this one...

Nice build Trent, - re-cycling is a very worthwhile pastime - i built up a 1990 Nishiki Alien using lots of parts from my first ever mountain bike and not long completed a 2000 Raleigh Special Products 250. They are very different to look at but both are a lot of fun to ride!

Its a shame you won't experience the benefits and advantages of the original triple crankset. 1. Three different cadences. 2. Big gear change with one shift up or down. 3.Triples have three rings to share the load. 4. Triples require beefy 678spd chains which last much longer than thin 10/11/12 speed chains. Triple ser ups have much less crosschaining issues than 1x setups. 1x are limited in gear range. Not to mention 1X drivetrains are just not aesthetically pleasing. Especially on vintage ATB's

It must to using the small or med size mtb, the dropbar with STI will add lots of EFFECTIVE REACH about 120 to 150mm. Med size mtb with drop bar is for over 6 feet tall rider. Too long is not comfortable.

Very nice upgrade of this beautiful old 26"-MTB. I love doing the same, because the are versatile, longlasting and look just cool. If you ever consider putting a matching front wheel on this bike, I myself would hold you back 😀 IMHO it would make the look complete. The only technical suggestions I would make: maybe putting on a larger chainring (38, 40 or 42) for long distance rides, but that's just personal preference. If your happy with the feel of the headset: leave it. I always like the feel of a completely new on. The tools you new can be bought quite cheap or be build by yourself (look here on YT for RJ the bike guy). Anyway: great video, great bike, love the content - keep more bike content coming 🙂 One more follwer 😀

Nice - Recycled the bike for another 30 years of functional service. I see many of these videos where they remove the front derailleur and tend to compensate for the loss by adding wide range rear cogs. Can you have the wide range rear cogs and keep the front derailleur to climb those long steep slopes?

Graham is correct! At about 10:10 you can see me stretching the rear triangle. I know there are more exact ways to do it, but this quick and rudimentary way has worked for me!

Rigid 90s mountain bikes share similar geometry with modern gravel bikes. Throw a new drivetrain on, and it’s more like a modern gravel bike. This bike is going to get many uses over the years- it’s one of my favorites at the moment due to its comfort, versatility, and the fact I got it for $75!

@@TrentSiggard yes, true! I converted an old Stumpjumper into a gravel bike myself. One defining characteristic of a gravel bike, to me, is a drop bar.

That’s a change I want to make to this bike in the future! The yellow bars that came with it, though, are too special to swap over immediately. Mocroshift has drop bar levers that will work perfect when that time comes!

@@fatrobdouble every bike is a gravel bike, depending on where you ride it. :) And often enough sub-categorization into segments goes too far. Yet I have some criteria what makes a bike a gravel bike: slightly slacker geometry than that of a road bike (i.e. 90s MTB), must fit tyres 35mm+ and comes with a drop bar. Resto-modding an old MTB, randonneur or even hybrid bike into a gravel bike is giving these old beauties a 2nd or 3rd life and is worth it, provided the frame is of good quality. Trent's bike in its current incarnation is more like a daily driver, a hybrid, versatile, but to me it doesn't fulfill the criteria and use case of a gravel bike: has a drop bar and allows to go fast on dirt roads.
