If it were mine I'd get an aluminum crankset and chainrings for it. That department store grade all-steel setup looks wicked cheap (because it is cheap). I don't care much about originality when it comes to bikes, because upgrading them is fun. I would do "period correct" upgrades though; not because I care about the concept of "period correct" in and of itself, but because 1970s and 1980s parts looked drastically better than modern parts, so I'd look for e.g., a Sugino crankset from that era (in keeping with the bike being made in Japan). And it wouldn't have a chain guard ring attached to the spider and I'd get rid of the "dork disk" behind the cassette. The aluminum SR stem is nice already so I'd keep that, but I'd get some aluminum handlebars (e.g., Nitto). I'd also want some aluminum rims (e.g., Araya), aluminum hubs (e.g., Suzue), and butted stainless steel spokes. I'd probably get an aluminum headset (e.g., Tange) and seat post with integrated "seat guts" too (e.g., Nitto or SR). The brakes and levers are okay, but I'd ditch those ridiculous and risky-to-use secondary levers. I completely agree with the Brooks seat upgrade, though I prefer the B17. Upgrading the crankset would be the most important thing for me though, since that's the heart of the bike, and just doing that and nothing else would make me about 90% happy with it.

you can stream from your Smart watch like Garmin watch.

I love your work! It’s cool that you preserve the original paint and keep the flavor of the bike intact. I just finished a Centurion in the same manner as you.

For rebuilding those vintage derailers, any tips? I need to tackle a 70s Huret Allvit and it's making me pretty nervous ngl

You are highly skilled, sir. Very few bike riders could do what you demonstrate here. I wouldn't even attempt it with my two vintage bikes. One is a 1986 Schwinn Paramount made in the Waterford factory.

I have one of these too, bought even cheaper but its barely got any paint left (also sienna brown) and a lot more rust. There's enough rust on the rims I wonder if they'd even be safe for the rim brakes...

Very nice😊

I watched the video 24 hours before my first triathlon 😄 thanks for the tips

I love this set up and have copied it for my own 👍🏻👍🏻

Those are the curviest legs I’ve ever seen

ロードバイクにディスクブレーキは似合わないよ　やっぱり　 アーチブレーキがいいね👍️　 ディスクブレーキはマウンテンバイクだけで十分です😢

She is a beauty. Loved watching thx my friend.

Cool video and bike. I’m actually looking at grab I g one of these old school Bridgestone bikes for Randonneuring,I actually just came across a 1988 Bridgestone T700 did you know anything about that frame and would you say it is a cool frame. Thanks for your time again

I've an '88 LE Tour, same color as your bike. I did most of what you did to this bike and I love riding it. I just got started on my World Sport today. It's actually ridable and I'll ride it tomorrow but the tires are bald and the brake pads are like rocks! Lol! I love these old steel bikes!

Don’t have to worry about where my bike is, it’ll be the only one left by the time I get to it 😂

This is a brilliant device. Its simple & works. There isnt lots of unnecessary complexity.

I got an 89 Circuit with white Santé hoods that were spent. Dirty and sticky. I found some white aero 105 hoods for like $5 and they fit just fine!

I’ve decided to go for my first sprint triathlon in September. This video is gold for me right now. Thank you!

Wathing it 8 hours before tri

I've got a '93 RB-1 in the rare size of 54.5 (Bridgestone made that size for just 3 years, '92-'94). It was an Ebay purchase in 2015. Like yours, mine is yellow and white. One of the original Shimano shifters wore out, so I replaced it with Micro-Shifters, and left it an 8-speed. The crank is original, though I replaced the 53/42 rings with a 52/38 (lots of steep hills here in Baltimore County). Front and rear derailers and brakes are original. The original stem I replaced with a H20, just the right size for me, and a Thompson Elite seat post now holds firm the saddle, something the cheesy original, single bolt seat post couldn't. I'm usually the only one on group rides riding a steel frame, and that includes my other bike, an '86 Schwinn Paramount, just about all original.

The Speed Socket 2.0 slightly edges it out in my opinion

Hello! Great build. What is the frame size? How tall are you? I think I'm between sizes M and L. Thank you.

Could I go in sauna / steam room with these and do they still work whilst u swim ?

Does it pair with wahoo element bolt 2020 model?

You did this just right. Normal patina is history. The inertia and stability, the flexible forged fork make these special!

if i live in a warm, tropical environment, can i just swim in my tri suit and move on without taking anything off during transition? other than the shoes of course

I love this video . Satisfy my OCD and now I’m motivated to fix a bike my brother found at his neighbor trash

Thank you Justin for the simplistic approach! It's great to have a well-educated mentor. At 57, I'm looking to participate in my first sprint tri later this year. I can definitely get pulled into the gear head mentality. The KISS principal is what I need.😂

I love these vintage bikes

It’s frustrating that when my friend and I ride together the discrepancy between our results has gone from a few tenths of a mile to 1.30 of a mile. Time and elevation don’t match either. One of us has Android, the other iPhone but we use the same service. Meanwhile customer support is useless.

Weight, aero losses and only 28c clearance is a deal breaker for competitive cycling

Great video! I’m restoring my dads Continental and your video has been perfect. What degreaser do you use and will it work without ultrasonic?

Justin, I appreciated your approach to this review, a mix of philosophy, software development, and functionality. As an older cyclist, I have come a long way since the clicker mounted on my front wheel that I used when I rode cross country. I finally graduated to the Lezyne, and now I have the Wahoo Bolt V2. One of my real frustrations is how the rerouting function works. I cue a lot of tours, and sometimes I want to cut off mileage. Why does the unit always try and take me back to where I left the route? Maybe I have a setting wrong? I just end up turning rerouting off. Other than that, I am happy with the unit, going on 3 years.

I have Raleigh from 70’s and I would say it is rocket science. Cotter pins? Check! Weird non standard bottom bracket? Check! Unfamiliar brand on derailleurs? Check! Other than those it could be easy. Bikes from 80/90’s are just much more easier. They have standards.

I LOVE the tips about the run - breaking down mile by mile. Thank you!!

This is so crazy, helpful! I really love watching these. I feel so much more relaxed about my first trialthon coming up soon

As a woman who grew up in the midwest in the 60's & 70;s, I LOVED this video and your contagious joy of restoring these vintage gems. I have a 70's, orange Schwinn Twinn. The chain just broke and local bike shop says they can't fix these old broken chains (small town).. I felt discouraged, came home & found your video - so encouraging that it CAN be done. Any suggestions on how & where to look in Ohio.?

Justin, you were just looking to upgrade to the best and newest without feeling guilty about it, I do that sometimes, all men are guilty of that! I say go ahead and do it, life is short, so enjoy it while you can!

i just bought a voyageur 11.8 that needs this kind of love and attention. your traveler looks immaculate i cant wait to take your tips and processes to my vintage schwinn

Do these have a strange tire size

I have one

James Bowling just gave me an old Schwinn Traveler, red, think it's 24 inch. I intend to give it to a kid that tells me he likes my bike as I am riding my 27 inch 78 La Tours, but first I gotta fix a broken brake lever you don't like. I liked your video. I ride my 2 La Tours and my 25 inch World sits, as does my electric bike..

I have this exact same bike. I love it.

Beautiful bike.

Hi Justin -- thanks so much for the videos. You said your wetsuit is the maximum thickness. So is it a 5mm? Does it restrict movement? I need a wetsuit for the 70.3 IM and I am worried about the open water swim so I want the most buoyant possible. But don't want it restricting swimming movement.

The radar will "stop you from getting hit" ???? HOW???? Every time you see a car, do you jump in the bushes? If a car is going to hit you, it will hit you. Radar or not.

this was SUPER helpful!!

This review is 2 years old. And nothing changed. A simple smartphone for the same price performs better then these top cycling products... I've been waiting for some revolution and Hammerhead with it's Android based units could be the thing... but no... another laggy peace of sht.

I just purchased an old ccm 70s and planning on doing the same.Great job!

They must have listened to you. I just picked up a set of the mini pro 🙌🏽
