Converting and Restoring a Vintage British Bicycle into a Mini Path Racer: Mancunian Cycle Co Resto
Rich and Joe give the Mancunian boy’s bike a new life as a sexy racer! It’s tiny, but it has that Path racer style!

Very cool. At first the wheelchair tires looked weird but seeing you riding then they somehow looked better. I haven’t ridden a coaster brake bike in a very long time and had forgotten that coaster really meant coast to a stop. I will say I did have a few coaster brake bikes that had good brakes, almost too good. Thanks for sharing the restoration. I hope that bike brings you years of happiness and safe riding.
Coster brakes 🤔I remember those,my Stingray bike had them! I was like the brody king. Anyways🤪 great restoration and video and kudos on your kit how fun🤗💫
Beautiful job and excellent research. I see your expertise in restoring vintage straight razors came in handy with the rims. I feel like there could be a market ( niche market) for modern versions of the Path Racer….Hmmmmm
I wonder though if it would have been better to put a fixed cog in the rear and foot retention on the pedals because that coaster brake looked a little on the weak side, especially if one were descending and gaining momentum.

What is your opinion of the State Fixed Gear/ Single Speed Bicycles. I like the Black Label v2 Raw…
This is why I’m subscribed to your channel. Bring more restorations 👏🏻
Great work thanks for posting.
Marvelous restoration (and upgrade!!!)
