Junk bike found on the street restored better than new

After following up on a listing on local classified for a junk bike someone left on the side of the road for first come, first served, I found this Motiv in sad shape. (In my mind I read Marin, which is why I made the branding mistake). Mistakes aside, I completely restored and made this bike better than new. 🛠️ TOOLS LIST Favorite allen wrenches: Favorite cable cutter: Favorite chain breaker: My bike stand: Bike scale (luggage scale: Favorite calipers: (Amazon affiliate link) Favorite tire levers: (Amazon affiliate link) Torque wrench I use: (Amazon affiliate link) Sandblasting cabinet: (Amazon affiliate link) 🛢️ GREASE & CLEANERS Favorite grease gun: My parts washer: (Amazon affiliate link) Favorite de-greaser: Favorite bike wash: Anti-seize compound: Wizards metal polish: My favorite chain lube: ⚙️ WHEELBUILDING TOOLS My favorite pump: (Amazon affiliate link) EVT Mulfinger Nipple Loader: (Amazon affiliate link) Park Tool ND-1 Nipple Driver: (Amazon affiliate link) Park Tool TS-8 Truing Stand: (Amazon affiliate link) My favorite spoke wrench: (Amazon affiliate link) Wheelsmith spoke-rep: (Amazon affiliate link) 🔖 CHAPTERS 00:00 Bike on the side of the road 00:13 Bike walkthrough 01:10 Teardown 07:28 Media blasting 09:17 Painting and parts reassembly 19:10 Ready for final reassembly 19:50 Reassembly 🎵 MUSIC USED IN THIS VIDEO First two tracks are originals, by me.
