~1988 Koga Miyata Terra Runner build!
A bike that made its way all the way from Amsterdam to Auckland(New Zealand).

26” chromoly frame atb/mtb goodness!
Basically a restoration using the original parts, fresh grease and cables etc.
Lovely riding frame that I hope comes back to me in a couple months!

Love the way the bike looks. It's just eating up the trail with those chunky tires and that shifter...😙🤌(chef kiss). Great build

Another great find.
A little hack for you from a vet 😉
Rotate all 3 chainrings clockwise to the next crank arm. It's a lot easier to pedal and yes, the little chain spigot does stick out but can be removed.

Very nice!

Really don't need a chain whip for those hubs at all,I just put a large screwdriver through the cassette so it locks on the hub,then a rag over the last cog and use channel locks to remove it.25 yrs and never have needed a chainwhip.i love love love this channel tho

The abbreviation for Amsterdam is actually a really common one. If you ever get to Amsterdam, the city will be covered in your name! Cool video! Those U-brakes must've been a pain in the ass to install right next to the BB.

I personally love how you clean and restore bikes, but I think you need to also clean and organized your work area for a much better background view. It will generate more positive views in my opinion.

Remember seatpost size diameter?

I must have missed it, when you went from the UG cassette to the UG 7s did you leave the stock shifters in friction mode or did you change the shifters to 7s?
