Restomod Mountain Bike Project – Starting a Budget Giant Rincon Build

In this video, I’m kicking off a restomod mountain bike project using a 1991 Giant Rincon I pulled out of the trash. The paint is still solid, but the drivetrain’s frozen and the tires are flat. Follow along as I strip it down, talk through my plans, and start this budget-friendly build from the ground up. 🔧 Parts coming soon from Hycline: new tires, tubes, freewheel, and chain. 🚲 Future upgrades: 1x drivetrain conversion, V-brake swap, comfort mods, and more. If you're into old bike ideas, restomod builds, or just want to see what this vintage MTB can become—subscribe and join the ride. #restomodmountainbike, #giantmtb, #mountainbikebuild 🚴‍♂️ I wouldn't be able to do this without a bike stand. I've completely fell in love with the FeedBack Sports Pro Heavy Duty 💪.
