- After some time, road bikes may look a little worse for wear and the value in them may be hard to see, however, by following some simple techniques, they can restored to their former glory. In this video, Sam Gupta saves a Trek 1.2 road bike and goes through the entire process of restoring the frame and then building it back up to once again to be fully useable.

Not usually a fan of flat bars but I love the look of this bike. I recently converted an old flat bar hybrid in to a drop bar gravel bike and then, even more controversially, I converted an old 90s MTB in to a drop bar gravel for my buddy! Both of them work like a charm and are so much fun to ride!
Great bike build video. Love this kind of video… and the spirit of saving an old bike.
I still use a block of wood and a hammer to put in headsets 😂
I really like how people on the internet make simple jobs look like rocket science. BTW it would have been much better to clear the seat tube before fitting the BB, this way you will avoid all the junk dropping on top of it ;)
Yes, that and washing it beforehand too.
Oh that's a cool project, a complete rebuild of salvage equipment that turned out to be fine.
Nice build well done be great to see more of this kind of content 😊😊 Pete
how about a bike check on your next video for a detailed list of the components would be much appreciated,,keep safe
Aluminium frame crew in da house 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Lol! That’s pretty much my bike! Junk? The cheek of it! Mine is a Trek 1.5 2008, but the frame and seat post are the only original parts now. Full Ultegra 6800, Vision wheels (for the moment) and a mix of 3T and FSA for the cockpit and a fabric saddle. The only downside is the limited tyre clearance. Replacing with like for like basic bike now would be £2k?! Bonkers! I’ll stick with this until the planets align and another fabulous long term runner takes my fancy. I’m sure I can hear a Fairlight calling…
Keen! Good job, Sam Gupta!
Looks great. Nice save
Nice!
the streetfighter look is awesome!
that 105 crank is legendary for not being recalled
A nice street fighter ; )
Nice build, perfect city bike imo.
Looks so cool!
What are those shifters that work with the Ultegra derailleur? 🤔
The weight (or lack of) was very surprising!
Very nice build! Congrats
Great content. Love the build, hope the front ring was narrow-wide.
A fine transformation and showcases what can be done upcycling a used frame ( sorry no pun intended!). Excellent video 👏👏
Rust on the stem bolts adds a nice touch 👍😊
I bought a frame on Marketplace and am having it built up right now. A mildly stressful but fun process. Yours came out great.
I garbage picked a 62cm Bianchi Brava, made in Italy, 1980's. Why would you put that on the tree lawn? I built it up and it was great just too big for me. I should have just sold it, I sold what I built for what I paid for parts, but the new owner was thrilled to have it.
Putting in the headset with the frame clamped in a bike stand could have damaged the tubes if you got to torquing on those tools
This builder shown here is as skilled as a fine watch maker. No chance.
Great build, I really like the look of it
Nice job. Are they the right brake levers to be using with calipers?
here I look and I don't understand, it seems like a good workshop, but why didn't they wash the frame first, and then they started installing the bottom bracket, you can see a lot of dirt on the frame.
Interesting decision to go flat bar. I would have kept drops if only because they are narrower for squeezing through traffic. Fancy pub bike 👍
Awesome build! 😎👍I hope I can also find a nice frame lying around the trash bin 😅
how much did the frame specialist cost? thats the priciest thing but you failed to mention it in the cost.
Always nice to save a bike.. good job 👍
Not going with drop bars saves alot of weight
Long pull lever for a ahort pull caliper?
Nice
Is beautiful. R u going to ride it or donate it?
Nice aluminum frame. Well done.
Mazing how many in the comments have never heard of English and Continental brake lever placement. English is right front, continental is left front and neither are "wrong"....
Except that modern front calipers are all designed for the lever coming from the left...
Nice save! Do yourself a favor and replace your seatpost with a carbon zero offset and let the stem be.
Wow! 7.8kg is pretty darn good for a 100 quid rescue bike.
Why do a lot of people go to a mechanic without washing their equipment first? Gross
If you you get another one like that let me know
You put your front brake on the right hand, but I'm going to guess that is not the mistake you were talking about 🤣
That's how we do it in the UK! www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/front-brakes-right-uk-408381
@cyclingweekly It's not just the way we do it, it's actually the law that they are that way round too. www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/198/regulation/4/made
@cyclingweekly Not all of us! It's much better with the front on the right, because that's what the front caliper was designed to do
seems odd to do a full restore/rebuild without wiping down the frame first? IMO. It's your bike bruh.
In America, you did nothing wrong. THAT'S WHERE IT GOES! Rear on the right. Same as the brakes.
Brake cable and housing too short. You asked.
You also put the brake levers on the wrong side 😂

Not a 2011
you saved a bike from the bin or you saved a frame from the bin
if it's not a trek
pointless. you can get modern 2nd hand bike so cheap there is no point to work with old tired frames.
It’s not a mistake if you are left handed
