It's amazing how little the outward appearance of the standard bike has changed in nearly 100 years. It just goes to show how perfect the design really is.

This video has had such an emotional effect on me. Firstly, it was so compelling, it made me watch the entire thing although I was protesting the time and pace at some points. Seeing men dedicate so much patience and attention to bring beauty into this world was the biggest pleasure and it feels like our world would be better off with such respect. This is not nostalgia for a bygone era but great admiration for an attitude that confirms that there is still beauty to be extracted, all around us. One tip: when mixing solvents, it’s easier to pour the lighter one first and then mix in the thicker. Tiny detail. Thanks for the wonderful video.

What a lovely watch ! My first vintage bicycle was a 1928 Hercules Loop frame I had bought for £20. It brought back so many lovely memories of riding it watching this video, thanks for posting it.

The reveal on that saddle was breathtaking. And it still rides 96 years on!

The quality of the workmanship from those involved is impressive, hope they are able to pass those skills on to the next generation....next item should be a custom canvas frame bag and a journey into the wilds of America 👍😁

That was very interesting! My favorite segments being the saddle with all the both technical and filming details. Also, the antique wooden wheel details with those incredible aluminum inserts. The replicated jersey, black & white film of restored racer being ridden, AND my pride of our here-in-my-Ohio antique wheel builder! So interesting! Both the restoration experts helping and the puzzle pieces of history coming together! Beautiful! Best, most professional content bicycle videos on the Internet!

What an amazing bicycle! I have an old Hercules, but it's from the 50's I believe. I also have an old Speedway bicycle, I was told it was from the 1800's.

Beautiful. Now this could be a proper scorcher! "Beware of the scorchers!"
