Watch as I restore one of the first mass produced BMX bikes in history, the 1975 Yamaha Moto-Bike. Yamaha Moto-Bikes were made for three years, 1974, 1975 and 1976. They have become a highly sought after bike for collectors all over the world.
This is the first episode for my Radmattic Rad Bicycle Builds and Restoration channel. Creating a channel such as this one, to build and restore vintage bicycles of all kinds, has been a concept in the works for several years. In addition to working on vintage BMX bicycles, I’ll work on vintage mountain bikes, old Schwinn balloon tire bikes and old mountain bikes. There will also be videos showing the tuning up process on road bicycles, gravel bicycles and touring bicycles.
Bicycles have played a significant role in my life going back to age seven when I got my first Sears “Spider“ 20 inch bicycle. At 14, I was riding BMX and continue to ride and race at 62. When mountain bikes were developed in the late 1970s, I was part of this movement as well. I worked in two different bicycle shops during high school and was sent to the Schwinn factory for Schwinn Service School in 1981. I’m the most happy when cruising around on any kind of bicycle or tinkering on one in my workshop.
Thank you for finding this channel!
