  • She's a beaut, mate. I've really enjoyed watching your videos as inspiration for my bike restoration and rebuild.

    Question for you: what steps did you take to clean out the bottom bracket shell before painting? and what did you do before putting the bottom bracket back in?

  • @DamnShaneIsThatU

    Used a small rotary wire brush in a drill with brass brushes so not to damage the threads. Normal grease before putting in the BB. Prefer to use molybdenum grease with graphite in. Dirty grey stuff that kakes a mess but is used in the motor trade therefor must be OK if fit for the bearings of a car. Make sure you DO NOT CROSS THREAD THE CUPS or disaster awaits.

  • Cheers man. Paintin my first bike soon for a fixie project. What brand would you recommend for the laquer? I'm just gonna use Montanas for the paint I think

  • @himrawkz

    What you can get hold of at a reasonable price

  • What laquer did you use for this? :)

  • @himrawkz

    Used an acrylic laquer out of a can. Not what i wanted to use though. Wanted to use 2 pack from a spray gun but it is too toxic as i havent got breathing apparatus.

    Problem is now, that the paint chips very easily however it is therefor easy to touch up. Spray some paint into a small container and use a small paint brush to pick up the paint and fill in any chips.

    Hope this helps.

  • Love it

  • thanks for the info!

  • how did you get the paint to blend in..... looks awsome, but also looks a bit of an artist touch is needed

  • 08:55 Whaaat a beauty !

  • i just watched about 45 mins. of your adventure and i cant even see the finished thing please post a vid. of it

  • Som Italian bottom brackets go in other way I think, don't u need to let lacquer harden for a week

  • I want to buy a new crankset for my old steel road frame. I am considering shimano Ultegra Hollowtech 2(just like your Sora) and I am worried that the BB wont fit the frame. Did you have any problems with installing the BB?

  • @Thebikezoneuk Is that a iron bike or an aluminum bike?

  • thats a nice bike.it lovely watching you. your very funny

  • What a gorgeous work of art you have, you are a very lucky man.
