DAWES BIKE RESTORATION - Incredible Results!

Impressive !

that is the original derailleur i have one of these its my turbo bike might just try and do what you have done

what is the paint thickness tool if you could link it that would be great also does it work on carbon frames t5hanks for rthe vids

Inspired me to get that old 90s bike in my shed cleaned and restored. Despite its age, the Shimano SIS still changes perfectly and everything spins smoothly so I think it’s lasted well despite the layer of grime

Good cleaning job... but what about wheel hubs and headset controls and greasing ?

Good video 👍buying a dawes tomorrow as a project going to do the same thing

Dawes were a shite brand so not worthy of any restoration.

You are doing an amazing job! I am watching your channel from the middle of the ocean from a cruise ship!

As you will no-doubt be aware, Dawes are considered something of a budget brand these days (though back in the day, they were very much more mid-table) having said that, I can confirm that they make a perfectly acceptable/robust modern steed, not super-light, but nonetheless a really capable all-rounder. Chapeau Sir, another earthbound 'flying-machine' saved from landfill.

Amazing job

Amazing what patience and soapy water can do 😁👍 lovely!

That was very satisfying - great job!

Amazing transformation 👍

Why don’t you consider a small rotary pad polisher instead of a cloth with the T cut, might speed up polishing up a little?

Great work guys

Amazing video!

Btw. why didn't you remove bottom bracket from the frame for the clean-up?

Learning loads from you. Thanks for the videos.

reaaly interesting, thanks..

I can recommend Brillo pads for cleaning tan walls, works a treat 👍

I loved the road bikes made by Peugeot during the late 80's. My favourite Dawes bike was the Super Galaxy tourer. I used to own a Dawes Wildcat mountain bike in the late 80's, bright yellow with red cable outers 😊

very therapeutic to watch this.
what a beautiful bike
amazing job. well done!

I enjoyed so much this video! Great detailing and impressive results. It's actually a new bike

Good work well done quality finish

Excellent jobs (both the bike and the filming and editing)!
It is a freewheel, though. Not a free-hub.

The bike came out amazing!

Love the rim/tyre restoration + wire wool on the headset. Need to do that to my daily rider: Dawes Linear 531 with Shimano RX100, Mavic rims and a rusty headset

Brilliant love those kind of bikes 🚴🏼

very nice, thanks man

Super job 👏 👌 🙌 👍

Had a Dawes Galaxy tourer for nearly 20 years, should have brought it to you for a rebuild!!

Beauiful work!

That No nonsense degreaser is a game changer from screw fix. Brilliant value and works brill on parts.

Im new to bike restoration, i notice you didn’t take the bearing out of the wheels .
This may sound a daft question. We’re do you decide to strip the bearing and we’re do you decide to leave .
Wheels are always my worry .
And videos you have done that you have done you can recommend me to watch

How much does that bike cost?

why does the uk install the front break right and the rear break left ?

fantastic job, new sub 🙂

Happy it sold so fast!
