 Hey guys she bear 1,000. Let's look at monkey's old bicycle. She's had for years Let's check it out together. Okay guys I had mentioned in one of my previous videos about monkey had a bicycle. I was thinking about putting an engine on it She used to ride it and When she moved here, I don't know if she wrote it when she moved here But it's just been sitting out back and it's been getting kind of rusted up and Handle bars, you know, there's no reprieve for them. They need painted the handle grips This one's split Right there, so it's gonna need new handle grips The seat is decent. It needs cleaned up, but it's it's fine The tires seem to be okay, but what was that? The hell it is it's fucking chasing me on meta bug There's a little dry crack so probably gonna need some tires there's some cracking there, but I like I like it She's got the white walls on it both front and back. This is Westport made by Murray. I'm not I'm not sure what year it is The chain's gonna need oil There's some fading. I think I'm pretty sure this might be faded But it kind of looks cool like that Again some cleaning done Needs these support bars straightened out for the fender so Let's uh, let's get this thing upside down. There's a Murray Murray badge They're not badges anymore. They used to have the badges on them But I guess might be a 2012. Yeah, it might be. Yeah, I think it's a 2012 or 2003. I'm thinking January 2nd of 03 I'm not sure about how Murray does theirs. I'd have to check it out but Let's get this thing upside down that's all the chain up see if the tires hold any air at all and Maybe we'll do some cleaning on it and see what she wants to do with it. I Know she talked about getting in that back out talked about me getting it rideable for her again and Riding it down here on the bike trail because it goes for like 40 miles covers three counties and if she does that she's gonna want me to ride that with her but right now, let's get it Let's get it upside down Check everything out. I think the tubes would be right. I think the tires are just old and dry cracked Hope nothing comes running out at me again on this one. I did get us in shade a little bit So yeah, it's gonna need a tire for the back Most definitely. I'll show you here. She can't ride around on that Who knows maybe I'll get another junk bike and it'll have Some tires on it, right? Let's get you over here Let's go ahead and oil this chain up Just like we did on that other bike I'm gonna use We use a little transmission fluid. We over here a little bit pedals in the way So I'm gonna go ahead and get this chain all oiled up That's gonna need a little oil the kickstand So I'm gonna go ahead and get this walled up and I'll show you how to straighten that fender And I don't know how well you guys can see this but right here. There's a bend in this, okay? And if I put that there you might be able to see it a little better See the gap behind between be between being behind there I'm just gonna take this and I want to try to squeeze that together Like that until it gets better. Okay now Just don't always work because this is rounded if it was on the inside I can cut this down and make it a little easier, but it's rounded so Once you bend metal guys, it stretches it gets longer and a good experiment to do On something like this is take you a piece of coat hanger Take you the straightest piece there is cut off say six inches make two six inches straight Now you take one and you bend it Bend it over straighten the back out and get it as straight as you can get it by by tweaking it It takes a little bit, but get it straight and then once you get it straight Measure it again. It'll be longer than the other one. Okay now that's a little better But as you can see down there, maybe The tire still hit So we're just gonna bump it and there you go Now it looks like the wheel has a little a little bend in it Hey, you can take them bends out by adjusting the spokes I Don't have the the little tool for that So I got the chain oiled up and it's so come because there's one spot in this chain I don't know if you can see that that needs some work Right there. See how it kind of goes up now so I'm gonna mess with that a little bit more and then we'll flip it back up onto its wheels again Okay, what I've got here. So I've got a little bit of steel wool It's real fine. It used to be an SOS pad. I can't find a new one So we must be out unless you moved them and I got this soapy water in here. It's just a dish washing liquid And we'll dump that or dip that in there I'm gonna rub it on here and see what happens Like I said handlebars will have to be painted I'll probably just take them off and paint them black, but this will be alright now once you do this guys You're gonna want to have some kind of Even if it's sitting in the garage, you're gonna want to have some kind of See there you go. Look how nice that is you're gonna want to have some kind of like Wax or polish on it doesn't matter what kind. I don't have any core polish So I'm just going to use this stuff Scratch Denny maximum string scratch remover So I think Yeah, this is just a polish it was supposed I did a review on this it's supposed to take out scratches on your vehicle I wasn't impressed with it Make scratches disappear well, I don't know but this is what I'm going to use on it So what I'm going to do with that is I'm going to keep doing that and I'm going to get both the fenders looking good Now these handlebars as you can see They're just You know, they just need to be sanded and painted you'll never get that back because the chrome is actually gone So you're wasting your time trying to clean something of that nature same way With the crank on the pedals I'll probably just sand them and paint them But let me get back on these fenders and I'll show you the difference Okay, guys, so what happened here? I Went ahead and sanded the handlebars Shot some paint on them. I Went to shut the camera off or went to hit the record button to stop recording and it started recording So I didn't record any of that but All I did Was Just sanding off shots and black paint on them. That's all that was done to this these handlebars here I did tape it up a little bit. I know what my haters Are going to say well Why didn't you just put new handlebars on why didn't you take them off and do this that and the other well It's a bicycle guys It's just a bicycle. I did clean it up I did clean up the The pedals Jalison here and the sprocket a little bit the fenders did turn out pretty good Where yet? They're still pitted. I Probably could have got them a little better than that Whoops the handlebars look better. There's the bike Now of course I did not clean the wheels and the tires You can see them wheels down there. I think they're pitted. I'll tell you why they're pitted because they're rusted I'll tell you why I didn't clean the wheels and tires Okay, well for my haters. I did not clean the wheels and tires because In order to do that The best way to do it She decides she's gonna keep this bicycle and we'll put new tires on it for her The tubes are fine in order to put new tires on I have to take the old tires off in order to take the old tires off I have to take the wheels off When I take the wheels off and the old tubes and tires out of it off the wheels Then I will clean the wheels up see what they look like if they need painted I will send them and paint them. I'm not restoring this bicycle. I'm just cleaning it up in case she wants to ride it Here's my thing you go putting a bunch of money in something like this You're not gonna get no money out of it. You know, let's say it turns out to be a $50 bike If I have to put $50 into it to make it a $50 bicycle We're not counting my time Okay, that doesn't make sense to put $50 in something to sell for 50 bucks Right Now you got to think about your time if she's gonna keep it no problem Everybody says well your labor's free. No, it's not because you wouldn't do all this stuff If somebody brought you this bike and said do this stuff to it you would have to charge them Well, if I put $50 into it and all that labor to get $50 out of it I just did all that work for them for free. I'm not making a dime Everybody goes well, it's worth more if you do that not necessarily Nine times out of ten as a matter of fact, it's not worth more. It sells faster. That's all it is. It's still a bicycle It's not a 1958 Schwinn. It's it's you know, it's just a Murray. It's uh, you know 2003 2013 whatever 2012 I don't know It's It's a Murray bicycle. I'm just cleaning it up in case she wants to ride it then yeah, I will what I would probably do with them wheels to sand them all off and Paint them with this paint called steel wheels. We used to use them on our Chevy's a lot You know when you got the beauty rings and center caps you paint them with a steel wheel. It's called steel wheels It's almost like a real light smoke gray It looks real real nice and I would do the handlebars probably the same way It's not a chrome and I don't want it to be the fenders are going to be fine I waxed them they're pitted a little bit, but again, it's a bicycle. Okay. It's just something you're going to ride around It's not a collectible by any means. It's not one of them bicycles It used to have the simulated gas tank with the horn and the lights. It's not one of those Schwinn's It's not it's not one of them. It's just a Murray. So there's that another thing. I want to touch on you know I mean here a while back, you know See this guy was emailing me talking about how he's a filmmaker, you know, he's a filmmaker He don't consider yourself a YouTube. He's a creator slash filmmaker. It's the way he quoted this, right? So, you know, I'm an asshole But I tell it like it is that's why some people think I'm an asshole, but I said okay Have I seen your films on? On Netflix, no. Have I seen your films on HBO? No. Have I seen your films on the history channel? No, the travel channel? No Where have I seen your films films at? Well social media. What social media? What is the main social media? I see your films on YouTube, so you're a fucking youtuber just like me the same place my films are on so I'm a YouTube And if you call them youtubers, oh, they get crazy just like a creator studio used to be YouTube studio It's creator studio. Look, I'm not a creator. I'm not a filmmaker. I'm a YouTube. I'm a youtuber. I Take my home movies Pretty much and put them on YouTube. I'm a youtuber. Well, you created that film No, I recorded me working on a bicycle and shared it with people So anyway guys, I'll give another look at it and we'll ride it up the driveway It's a it's a nice little bike, you know It still needs like I said tires and something done with the wheels at least cleaned up It's a decent little bicycle especially for her, you know, I mean Sure, it's a little faded. We call that patina. I Did get that kink out of that chain. There's a little bit of one right Let me show you right. There's a little bit of a kink that would come out of it It was almost impossible to pedal Before so there you go. Sorry about the little rant But I just got to get some things off my chest once in a while because I know haters are going to be hating and They're always going to be that way and there's nothing we can do about it But there's monkeys a little bicycle. I wouldn't trust her riding around on that back tire You can see the splits in it probably Right down there at the white wall See the splits Right in there The tubes are fine. Just the tires are dry cracked If she decides she wants to keep it and I put new tires on it I will go with another set of white walls I'll put a little money into it for if she's going to keep it, but not to resell so There you go guys Fixing up an old bicycle. I mean technically it's rideable right now. I just wouldn't trust that back tire I mean it's not I don't think it would blow out, but you know just not a good idea. This bike here She did real good on that bike guys. I'm proud of her on that so I Should be able to make a couple bucks on this because I doubt if I'll ever be able to ride it If I don't have a motor or probably won't be able to ride anything anymore, but I Won't work on that So anyway guys, thanks for watching appreciate it and Sit down here in Florida stay cool Okay, so I mean it's like a hundred degrees right now So anyway, I'll talk to you guys later again. Thanks for watching appreciate it Y'all be cool shave here in the myth the man the legend gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care
