Weā€™ve got a good one in store this evening, excited to get to work on this SPECALIZED Sirrus! Thank you Jennea Noel for trusting me with your ride!

I am NOT a ā€œbike shop.ā€ Iā€™m just a guy who loves these things with two wheels.

But ask anyone who knows me how much I hate the gatekeeping in this community.

NO, you donā€™t need a $2,000 bike.
You donā€™t even need a $200 bike.

You need to want to ride. You need to want to get better. You need to enjoy what you have, right!?

Seeing a bike shop employee openly talking about bikes like this? Thatā€™s EXACTLY the problem. And, itā€™s a big part of why I started doing this.

Yes, some of these older department store bikes can be harder to get right than a brand-new $2,000+ bike.

SO WHAT?

Would you rather have someone judge you and want more of your money, or someone who actually cares about what YOU want to accomplish?

Iā€™ll keep working on the bikes other people wonā€™t touch. šŸ¤˜

All for the love of these silly things with two wheels. šŸ«¶



New setup coming soon and weā€™ll be back to giving the people what they actually want. šŸ¤˜

1986 Raleigh Record ā€” all cleaned up and ready to ride. šŸ¤˜

This one came in as a seriously cool fixed gear conversion, and it was a blast getting some love back into this old Raleigh.

Full clean, detail, and l**e to finish it off. Sometimes a bike doesnā€™t need much ā€” just the right attention to bring it back around. šŸ‘Œ

Thanks for trusting Packard Bike Wash & Service with this one!

Alright yā€™allā€¦ fixed gear bikes are pretty savage when you really think about it. šŸ˜‚

All momentum, and you are basically the brakes against your own inertia at all times.

This one started life as a 1986 Raleigh Record, a 21 speed road bike! But somewhere along the way this drivetrain got swapped over and turned this old road bike into a fixie.

Thereā€™s just something really cool about a bike this simple. No freewheel, no coasting, just rider, bike, and momentum all working together. This old Raleigh has a whole different personality coming out now that itā€™s cleaned up.šŸ¤˜

Wellā€¦ weā€™re working on something a little different this weekend šŸ‘€

First fixed gear fix-up to roll through Packard Bike Wash & Service. I may be a BMX guy at heart, but a cool bike is a cool bike.

Time to get to work šŸ”§

šŸ˜³MAKING ROOM IN THE SHOP, FOR SALEšŸ‘

This bike has treated me well over nearly 300 miles but I found a lighter frame and fork combo so I upgraded, I did steal a couple things during the switch to the new frame so Iā€™m just going to list out what you need to get rolling and can even provide quotes to get it done for you. This is the V1 in a size medium and everything has been incredibly reliable, I do keep my bikes in tip top condition.

The lighter front wheel I had on this bike does need trued (I know a guy) but is tubeless compatible šŸ‘

Obviously tires! These bikes are great for customizing and can fit a pretty huge tire if youā€™re looking to tear up gravel or a smaller tire to cruise city streets!

Pedals, another chance to add your own touch, the only flat spares I have are yellow, $10 if you want them, or $30 for some SPD compatible pedals

Headset! This one was getting a little crunchy before I switched over, $25 or so for a good one on amazon- happy to make sure you order the right one!

Saddle, a very personable part of the bike that you should invest in to make sure it fits you right so you can enjoy riding! Lots of recommendations in groups on fb etc

I have the front caliper off but will reinstall it before a deal is made but it has sat as is for a couple months now, if it doesnā€™t sell Iā€™ll just be doing a full build on it and enjoying it myself!

Happy to answer questions please reach out with any questions! $75 OBO

Everything is going back together on the ā€˜83 Raleigh and itā€™s looking great, just wish I had some cool wheels for this thing but not this time around!

(Sorry I didnā€™t film the headset refresh, red fork was cooked but I think the black looks sporty šŸ˜‚)

Late night cleaning the gravel grinder. About to roll over 500 miles this year!

Slowly bringing this one back to life, one piece at a time.



Now back to the 80s build!

Tearing down the brake system just takes a few minutes so we can clean all the nooks and crannies while giving these essential parts a reset as well!
