Nice restoration. The green and brown colour scheme really works well.

Really enjoyed watching this restoration video. I especially loved your camera angles.
So many videos I watch you can’t quite see what the person is doing. This was clean. Thank you. 🤩

Thank you, that's very kind.

Now that is a proper build 😊

After all that work and awesome paint job I'd be afraid of chipping the paint now.

Great renovation, a real transformation 😊

Where did you get the decal kit? I have a Gary Fisher Piranha I'm rebuilding this summer.

[@Jay-Ninja]

I got them off eBay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362057574301?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fhMjma0mQkK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=c4ALIja1SD-&var=631286754784&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@eltano06]

i would have gone with disk brakes on the front

[@Jay-Ninja]

I was tempted, but was working to a budget so decided against. Maybe on the next one!

I know where one of these frames has been dumped for years if anyone needs a gear hanger..
