Transforming A $40 Bike Into An Iconic Cafe Cruiser | Vintage MTB Restomod

I have dreamt about building an iconic cafe cruiser bike for my wife for a long time now & since spring is only a few weeks again I figured there was no better time than now to convert her vintage 90's Specialized Hardrock which she saved from a thrift store, tuned up & has ridden it religiously since. Although she isn't a diehard cyclist she LOVES riding around town to cafes, breweries, around to farm stands, or out to a destination with a beautiful view to enjoy some home brewed coffee; so the mission was simple; build a good looking bike that's comfortable to ride aka a cafe cruiser but with a unique, iconic look. Any bikes or builds you'd like to see featured in this series? Or maybe you want me to build YOUR dream bike. Let me know in the comments. Thanks SO much for riding with me! -Mike __________________________ Massive thank you to buycycle for sponsoring this video: Sell your bike hassle-free & get 30% OFF Seller Fees → https://buycycle.com/joyofbike buycycle. – The worldwide marketplace for used bikes. __________________________ This build utilized a ton of parts to help bring it into the modern era, while remaining comfortable.
