Restored It Just to Destroy It – The Worst Thing To Do To A Vintage BMX

In this episode, I link up with Phu Vu from EPIC BMX and Max Vu to break down what might be the worst BMX restoration job ever. The owner sent their vintage build out for powder coating — but the shop didn’t bother to fully disassemble the bike first. What came back? A painted-over mess, with critical parts coated that should never see paint. From bearings to hardware to classic components, this is a step-by-step look at how NOT to restore a BMX bike — and how one careless mistake can ruin an entire vintage frame. Whether you're into old-school builds or just love BMX storytelling, this one’s a must-watch. 👇 Drop a comment below if this has ever happened to you or someone you know.
