The man is agenius. But clearly he doesn´t ride the bycicles (just look his belly).
Looks amazing
Love the videos, but I really love how he goes into a nurtural state after every shot. Like a video game character.
Loving these restoration projects! Thank you for taking the time to show us, from a fellow East Anglian 😊 One question – what do you do with the bikes after you have restored them?
Yuck center pull breaks and cotter pins, still a much better bike as they got crap, one time back in the late 80s aquired a Raleigh Banana for free, one time in Cambridge at a bike shop the owner was so impressed that I had one mint as he told me how they deteriorate and within a couple of years saw the paint bubbling then the crank arm falling off….that was another time miles from home but an old garage chap helped me out with some loctite and went another 200 miles amazing ! Shame looked nice I will stick to my Raleigh Palm Beach the sand version and dynamo still working its amazing how heavy that back wheel is. Had that from 1977 my first bike for work and went to Hull back in 79 it took all day but what a bike, I wish I still had my perents biike being the Palm Beach blue sky/sea and that fab totone saddle.
Diamond ✨
Nice job, If you polished the pump you could have polished water bottle cage…..just saying
# 1.
Only a 5 speed??? Cheaper model? I remember my cables not lasting like the new ones now, they had unpadded fabric bar tape. My Grand Prix from the late 60's had pop off wheels
Thank you Simon!!!!! I hope your Dad is breaking you in being a bicycle craftsman, i can tell he truly loves his job!
I have one of these i think i paid £20 for it
Most of the small bits you can clean with ultrasonic cleaner cleans better than using a brush.
I bought a Europa in 1973 after saving my pocket money for over a year. It had Simplex Delrin derailleurs and the front one never worked properly no matter how many times i adjusted it. It was a great looking bike though.
I have Reilegh Strada Elite Hybrid Cycle
You remind me very much of Marty’s Matchbox Makeovers – on a larger scale of course- both great channels
such an enjoyable watch
What a great video. My mate had one of those I had a Hawk Tornado.
I liked the video before even watching because your videos are always excellent.
hello, do you sell the holder for the syringes as i coulnt seeit .
Почему обычную мойку и техническое обслуживание велосипеда,вы называете реставрация? Зачем обманывать людей?
